Privacy policy
Tideglass Vault
The company behind this policy
VANGUARD VIGILANCE CONSULTING LTD is the company responsible for Tideglass Vault and for this privacy notice. We are registered under company number 17131722. This notice explains what the Android game does with information, how we make decisions about it, and how to contact us. It takes effect on 2 October 2026 and is policy version 1.
We use plain language so players and Google Play reviewers can compare this notice with the app's behaviour and Data Safety answers. If a release changes those facts, we update this page before or alongside that release.
This notice applies to the released game rather than to a concept build, test scene or future feature. A statement about what the app does is tied to the version code shown above and the evidence reviewed for that release.
We decide the purposes and means of any personal-data processing described here. A platform or service provider may process limited information for us, but it does not become free to use that information for unrelated purposes on our instructions.
Apps this policy covers
This policy covers the Android app Tideglass Vault, package name art.tideglass.vault, release version code 9. It also covers visits to vanguardvigilance.link where the site links to this notice. The reviewed feature position is no advertising, no user login, no in-app purchases.
Package names distinguish Android apps even when display names are similar. Players and reviewers can use the package shown here to confirm that this notice belongs to the exact store listing and installed application they are considering.
The website is included only for visits to the game and policy pages, including ordinary server records needed to deliver and protect those pages. It does not expand the app's Data Safety categories or imply that the game sends browsing information to us.
Information we collect
We do not collect any personal data through our apps. The game may keep progress, preferences or a chosen player name on the device, but that local information is not sent to us. The Data Safety answer for this release is therefore no data collected.
The reviewed Data Safety record says no user data is shared with other companies. Data sent from the app is encrypted in transit.
We do not ask a player to provide contacts, precise location, health information, financial details or government identifiers unless a future feature genuinely requires a category and it is disclosed before release. The current position is limited to the categories stated above.
We do not infer extra categories from ordinary gameplay. Device-held game state is used to resume play and remember settings. It stays under the user's control unless the policy expressly describes a transfer to us or to a named service.
We distinguish data that leaves a device from information that exists only inside the game. Local settings can still matter to a player, but they are not data collected by our company when neither we nor a service acting for us receives them.
Support email is separate from app collection. If a player chooses to email us, we receive the address, message and attachments they send. We use that correspondence only to answer the request, keep necessary support records and protect the service.
How we use information
We use information only for the reason it was provided: operating requested features, saving game state on the device, answering support, maintaining security, complying with law and investigating a fault. We do not sell personal data. We do not use support messages to build advertising profiles.
Where processing needs consent, the choice is presented before that processing starts and can be withdrawn for the future. Where we rely on legitimate interests, those interests are limited to running, protecting and improving the app without overriding user rights.
We may use aggregated technical observations that no longer identify a person to understand whether a release is stable. We do not combine support correspondence with external profiles, purchase lists or advertising audiences to learn more about a player.
Legal compliance can require a narrow use that is not part of ordinary gameplay, such as responding to a valid authority request or preserving evidence of abuse. We assess such requests and disclose only what the law requires us to disclose.
We keep access to support information limited to people who need it for support, security, legal compliance or service administration. We do not reuse it merely because it is available.
Third-party services and SDKs
The release includes the third-party services listed below. Their code may process information under their own privacy terms when the related feature runs. We review the built release rather than relying only on a project configuration.
Service providers are selected for a defined function and reviewed when that function changes. A provider's general product catalogue does not mean every capability is active in this app; the included build and configured feature are what matter.
Android and Google Play are distribution platforms rather than hidden app features. Google may process store, download, device and account information under its own terms. Our list focuses on code included in the reviewed game build.
Links that open a browser do not by themselves place the destination's code inside the game. Once a player leaves our app, the destination controls its own page and explains its own processing under the privacy notice shown there.
If we add a service in a later version, we will identify its purpose here and link to the provider's privacy information. We will also align the store declaration before release.
Data retention and deletion
The app has no account system. Local progress and preferences can be removed through the game's reset control, by clearing the app's storage, or by uninstalling it. The Data Safety record does not claim a separate remote deletion-request feature.
Backups and security logs may take a limited additional period to cycle out. A deletion request does not require us to erase a record that law requires us to keep, but we will explain any applicable exception.
A retention period begins from the event that created the record, such as the last support reply or closure of an investigation. We review records rather than retaining every message indefinitely merely because storage remains available.
When we use a processor to store correspondence, deletion from the active mailbox may be followed by deletion through the processor's normal backup cycle. Access remains restricted during that limited cycle and the information is not restored for routine use.
Children
Tideglass Vault is intended for players aged 13 and over and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal data from a child through the game. A parent or guardian can contact [email protected]. The store content note supplied for this release is: No violence, sexual content, gambling, user-generated content, or online interaction..
We do not encourage a child to bypass an age setting or provide an inaccurate age. Store and family controls remain useful because they allow a parent to manage downloads, purchases and device access at platform level.
We ask parents and guardians to choose apps appropriate for the child and to supervise store and device settings. We will investigate a credible report that information was supplied by a child contrary to this notice.
If we learn that the app has received a child's personal data in a way this notice does not permit, we will take reasonable steps to remove it. We may retain only the minimum record needed to document and complete that action.
Permissions
The reviewed Android release requests no additional Android permissions.
We read permissions from the reviewed build. Android may describe a permission broadly even when the game uses only a narrow capability. A denied optional permission should affect only the related feature.
A platform update can change how a permission is grouped or displayed without changing our code. We review the final signed artefact and its behaviour, not only the wording shown by one Android version or one device maker.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018 may give you rights to ask whether we hold personal data about you, request access or correction, object to or restrict processing, request deletion, withdraw consent, or complain to a regulator. Some rights depend on the facts and legal basis.
Access rights generally concern personal data, not a copy of game software, internal security material or information about another person. If a request covers mixed records, we separate or redact material where required before responding.
You may also complain to the privacy regulator in your country. Contacting us first can help resolve a concern quickly, but it does not remove the right to approach a regulator directly.
Send a rights request to [email protected]. We may ask for enough information to confirm that the request concerns you, but we will not ask for unrelated identity material. We aim to respond within the period required by applicable law.
International transfers
Our company is based in the United Kingdom. A support message may be handled or stored in another country by an email or hosting provider. When personal data moves internationally, we use safeguards required by applicable law and limit the transfer to what the service needs.
An international transfer is not assumed merely because a company has offices in several countries. We look at where the relevant service processes or permits access to the information used for our account and app operation.
Our contracts with relevant providers require appropriate confidentiality and security. Where a recognised transfer mechanism is needed, we use the mechanism available under the governing law and keep its suitability under review.
Countries do not all provide the same legal protections. We consider the destination, the provider's commitments, access controls and contractual safeguards before using a service that processes personal data for us.
Changes to this policy
We update this policy when the app's processing, permissions, services, audience or legal duties change. The effective date and version number at the top show the current edition.
- 2026-10-02: First publication for app version code 9.
Minor edits may clarify language, repair a link or correct contact details without changing how the app processes data. A processing change is described in the dated history so readers can understand what changed and when it took effect.
We keep one current policy at this stable URL. Where law or an operational need requires an older edition to be retained, it is archived separately and clearly marked so it cannot be confused with the current notice.
A material change is published before or when the related app version is distributed. We do not rewrite the history to make an older release appear to have used the new position.
