WAKE Privacy Policy

Application: WAKE (com.ducnguyen.wake) · Developer: Barebyte · Platform: Android
Effective 10 September 2026. English is the governing version of this policy; bản tiếng Việt follows below.

What data we access, collect, use and share

None. Barebyte does not access, collect, use, sell or share any personal information through WAKE. There is no account system, no sign-in, no user profile, no advertising identifier, no advertising, no analytics, no attribution SDK, no crash-reporting SDK, no in-app purchases and no server of any kind.

The released build is compiled without the INTERNET permission. That is a property of the application package itself: the operating system will not let WAKE open a network connection, regardless of what the app might otherwise attempt.

What WAKE stores, and where

WAKE saves your game boards, your records, your settings and your local daily results into storage that belongs to the app on your own device. This information exists so the game can show you your own boards and scores. It is never sent to Barebyte.

Permissions

WAKE requests one permission: vibration, used for the optional haptic feedback when you take light, crash, or finish a board. You can turn it off in Settings and the game works exactly the same. The application package also carries a self-scoped permission generated by the Android build tools for the app's own internal message passing; it grants nothing to any other app and nothing to us.

WAKE does not request internet, location, camera, microphone, contacts, storage-wide access or any other sensitive permission.

Sharing a board

If you tap SHARE, WAKE renders a picture of your finished board into the app's own temporary cache on your device and hands that file to Android's system share sheet. You choose which app receives it. WAKE does not upload the image and never sends it to Barebyte; what happens to it after you choose a destination is between you and the app you chose.

The generated image remains in that temporary cache: it is overwritten the next time you share, and Android removes it when the system reclaims cache space or when you clear the app's cache.

Retention and deletion

Because Barebyte holds no data about you, there is no remote account, server-side profile or backup of yours for us to delete, and no deletion request to make of us.

Uninstalling WAKE removes its app-private data from your device. You can also clear the game's data at any time from Android's app settings.

One thing that is the operating system's doing, not ours, and you should know about it: WAKE does not disable Android's Auto Backup, so the platform default applies and Android may copy the app's private files into the backup attached to your own Google account. That copy belongs to you and is governed by Google's terms; Barebyte cannot see it, cannot reach it, and receives nothing from it. Your device's backup settings control this behaviour.

Security and data handling

The strongest security statement an application can make is that there is nothing to breach, and that is WAKE's position: no server, no account database, no credentials, no transmission. Nothing travels in transit because nothing is transmitted.

On your device, WAKE's saved files sit in app-private storage protected by the Android application sandbox, which prevents other applications from reading them. Device-level protection — your screen lock, your device encryption, whether the device is rooted — remains under your control and Android's.

Children

WAKE does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone, of any age, because it collects no personal information at all. WAKE's target audience and content rating are declared separately in Google Play Console by the developer account owner and are shown on the app's store listing.

This website

These pages are hosted on GitHub Pages. Like any web host, GitHub may process ordinary web-request metadata — such as your IP address and user agent — for delivery, abuse prevention and security purposes, under GitHub's own privacy and security practices. That is a property of visiting this page in a browser.

WAKE itself does not send that data, or any other data, to Barebyte or to GitHub. The game does not open this page and has no network permission with which to do so. These pages set no cookies, load no analytics, and load no scripts, fonts or images from third parties.

Changes to this policy

If WAKE's data practices ever change, this policy will be updated before a build carrying the changed practice is released, and the effective date above will change with it.

Privacy inquiries

Privacy questions about WAKE are handled publicly, so that an answer is visible to everyone who has the same question:

Please do not include personal information in a public issue. Barebyte does not request, need or want any personal data from you in order to answer a question about this policy.
