Privacy Policy

Hachimi · Effective October 2, 2026

In short: Hachimi needs no account and collects no personal information for advertising or profiling. Your progress and dried fish stay on your device and — for Hachimi Club members who turn it on — sync privately through your own iCloud account. If you use Game Center, your score appears on the in-app leaderboard. Purchases are handled by Apple and RevenueCat. No ads, no third-party analytics, no cross-app tracking.

1. Who we are

Hachimi ("the App") is developed by Gentleflow ("we", "us", "our"). This policy explains what data the App handles and how. If you have questions, contact us at gentleflowoverseas@gmail.com.

2. Information we do not collect

  • We do not ask you to create an account or provide your name, email, phone number, or address to play.
  • We do not collect your contacts, photos, precise location, or browsing history.
  • We do not use advertising identifiers (IDFA) and do not track you across other apps or websites.
  • We do not show ads or use third-party analytics.
  • We do not sell or share your personal data with data brokers.

3. Data the App stores and uses

  • On-device game data. Your level progress, scores, daily challenge records, dried fish balance and transaction ledger, settings, and your chosen theme and app icon are stored locally on your device in the App's private storage.
  • iCloud sync (optional, Hachimi Club). Syncing across your devices is a Hachimi Club member feature and can be switched on or off in the App. When it is on, the App syncs the data above using Apple's iCloud Key-Value storage. This data lives in your personal iCloud account, is governed by Apple's Privacy Policy, and we cannot read it. If your membership lapses, syncing stops and your local data is untouched.
  • Game Center (optional). If you are signed in to Game Center, the App submits your score to a Game Center leaderboard. Together with the score it attaches a small context value indicating whether you are a Hachimi Club member. The in-app leaderboard shows this as a "Club plate" next to your Game Center name, which is visible to other players. Game Center is provided by Apple and governed by Apple's Privacy Policy; we do not receive your Apple ID. If you are not signed in to Game Center, nothing is submitted.

4. Purchases and subscriptions

Hachimi offers the optional Hachimi Club membership (an auto-renewable subscription, or a one-time Lifetime purchase) and Dried Fish packs (consumable in-game currency). Purchases are processed by Apple through the App Store — we never see your payment details. We use RevenueCat, Inc. to verify and restore purchases and manage entitlements. For this, RevenueCat receives a randomly generated app-user identifier together with purchase and device information (such as transaction identifiers, country, and device/OS type). RevenueCat processes this on our behalf; see the RevenueCat Privacy Policy. We do not receive your Apple ID or payment card information.

5. Diagnostics

If you have enabled "Share With App Developers" in iOS, Apple may share aggregated, anonymized crash and performance data with us through App Store Connect. It is not linked to your identity. If you email support, we receive what you choose to send.

6. Children's privacy

The App is suitable for all ages and does not knowingly collect personal information from children. Because we collect no personal information, the App builds no profile of any user, including children.

7. Your choices

  • Turn off iCloud sync in the App's Settings, or in iOS Settings › [your name] › iCloud.
  • Don't sign in to Game Center (iOS Settings › Game Center) if you do not want scores submitted or shown on the leaderboard.
  • Delete all local data by deleting the App.
  • Manage or cancel your subscription in iOS Settings › [your name] › Subscriptions.

8. Data retention

Local and iCloud game data remain until you delete them or remove the App. Game Center scores are retained by Apple under its own policies. Purchase records held by Apple and RevenueCat are retained under their own policies.

9. International users

Data handled by our providers (Apple, RevenueCat) may be processed in countries other than yours, under their respective safeguards.

10. Changes

We may update this policy. Material changes will appear here with a new effective date.
