1Who we are

Astro Rock Games ("we", "us", "our") is an independent game developer based in Maharashtra, India. We make virtual reality (VR) and mixed reality (MR) games for Meta Quest headsets, distributed through the Meta Horizon Store.

2What this policy covers

This policy applies to every game and app published by Astro Rock Games on the Meta Horizon Store, including Shotgun Party, and to any future titles we release, unless a title has its own privacy policy. It explains what happens to information when you play our games.

By installing or playing our games, you acknowledge this policy. If you do not agree with it, please do not use our games.

3Data we collect

Our games do not collect personal data. Specifically, our games do not:

• ask for your name, email address, phone number or other contact details;
• send any data from your headset to servers we own or control;
• use analytics, advertising, tracking or crash-reporting tools;
• collect advertising identifiers or persistent device identifiers;
• use cookies, web trackers or similar technologies inside the games;
• use the microphone or record your voice;
• use your Meta account information, friends list or profile.

Because we do not collect personal data through the games, we do not keep any on our side. Game settings and progress stay on your headset (see section 5) until you delete them.

The only personal data we may receive is what you choose to send us directly, for example when you email us for support. In that case we receive your email address and the contents of your message, and we use them only to reply to you. We do not add you to mailing lists.

4Room, passthrough and hand data

Some of our games use features of the Meta Quest headset to place gameplay in your real surroundings and let you play with your hands. These features may include:

• Room scanning and scene data (such as walls, floor, ceiling and furniture outlines from Meta's Space Setup) so game objects can interact with your room.
• Passthrough, which shows your real surroundings through the headset cameras during mixed reality play.
• Hand tracking, which lets you use your hands instead of controllers.

When our games use these features, the data is processed in real time on your headset only, for the sole purpose of running the game. Our games do not record, store, upload or share room layouts, camera images, passthrough video or hand-tracking data, and we never have access to it. We do not use any of this data to identify you, to build a profile of you or your home, or for advertising.

Access to these features is controlled by Meta. Your headset will ask for your permission (for example, for spatial data) before a game can use it, and you can change these permissions at any time in your headset's settings. If you decline, some mixed reality features may not work.

5Data saved on your headset

Our games may save small amounts of game information on your headset, such as settings, progress and high scores. This information stays on your device and is not sent to us. You can delete it at any time by clearing the app's data or uninstalling the game.

If you have enabled Meta's cloud backup, your headset may back up this save data to Meta's servers. That backup is provided and controlled by Meta under its own policies, and we cannot access it.

6Meta's role

Our games run on the Meta Horizon platform and are distributed through the Meta Horizon Store. Meta operates the headset, your Meta account, the store and the system features our games rely on, and it processes data about you independently of us. That processing is governed by Meta's own policies, not by this one. Please review:

• Meta Privacy Policy

7Purchases

Some of our games may be paid or may offer in-app purchases or downloadable content.

All purchases are processed entirely by Meta through the Meta Horizon Store. We never receive or store your credit card number, bank details or other payment information. Meta may tell us that a purchase was made (for example, so the game can unlock the item you bought), but this does not include your payment details. Refunds and billing questions are handled by Meta under its terms.

8Sharing and selling

Because our games do not collect personal data, we have nothing to share. We do not sell, rent or trade personal data, and we never will. We would only disclose the limited information you send us (such as a support email) if the law requires it.

9Children

Our games are not directed to children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children. Meta sets its own age requirements for using Meta Quest headsets and Meta accounts, and provides parental supervision tools for younger users. Parents and guardians should review Meta's age requirements and the age rating shown on each game's store page.

If you believe a child has sent us personal information, for example by email, contact us and we will delete it.

10Security

Keeping data on your device is the simplest way to protect it, which is why our games are built that way. Support emails are kept in a password-protected email account.

If you find a security vulnerability in any of our games, please report it to astrorockgames@gmail.com.

11Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights over your personal data, including the right to access it, correct it, delete it, withdraw consent, and raise a complaint. Under India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, these include the rights to access information about your personal data, to correction and erasure, and to grievance redressal.

Since our games do not collect personal data, there is usually nothing for us to access or delete. If you have emailed us and want us to delete your messages, or if you have any privacy question or complaint, write to us at the address below. We will respond within 30 days.

You can ask us to delete any personal data you have sent us (such as support emails) at any time by writing to the address below. We may ask you to confirm your identity first, and we will delete the data unless the law requires us to keep it.

For data processed by Meta, please use the privacy tools in your Meta account or contact Meta directly.

12If our games start collecting data

If we ever add features that collect or share data, such as analytics, crash reporting, online multiplayer, leaderboards, accounts, advertising or third-party software kits (SDKs), we will update this policy before that change is released. The updated policy will explain what data is collected, why, how long it is kept, who it is shared with, and how you can request its correction or deletion. Where the law requires it, we will ask for your consent first.

13Governing law

This policy is governed by the laws of India, including the Information Technology Act, 2000 and the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, as applicable. Our games are available worldwide, and by playing from outside India you understand that any information you send us by email may be handled in India. Any disputes are subject to the jurisdiction of the courts of Maharashtra, India. This does not limit any rights you have under the laws of the country where you live.

14Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we will change the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. If a change materially affects how your data is handled, we will make it clear on this page and, where appropriate, in the game or on its store page. Continuing to play our games after an update means you accept the updated policy.
