• MyTreetime Privacy Policy
• Effective Date: [2026-01-06]
•   Welcome to MyTreetime ("this App"), an iOS-exclusive application. We deeply understand the importance of privacy to you and are committed to protecting your personal information in compliance with Apple’s App Store privacy requirements and applicable data protection laws. This Privacy Policy aims to clearly and transparently explain how we, as the service provider of this App, collect, use, store and share your information, as well as the rights you enjoy when using this App.
•   This App is an entertaining and productivity-integrated game software that combines tomato clock functionality with tree cultivation. Users can obtain virtual water drops by completing tomato clock sessions, click to water the tree to promote its growth, and collect the tree once it reaches Level 3. By using this App, you confirm that you have reached the age required by applicable laws (usually 13 or 16 years old, depending on your place of residence) and agree to the data processing practices described in this Policy.

 1. Information We Collect

  To provide and optimize our iOS-exclusive services, we may collect the following types of information, all of which comply with Apple’s privacy guidelines and do not exceed the scope necessary for service provision:

• Device Information: When you use this App on your iOS device, we will automatically collect specific information related to your device to ensure stable operation, such as device model, iOS version, unique device identifiers (e.g., IDFA for advertising purposes or IDFV for vendor purposes, in compliance with iOS tracking permission settings), network connection status, and App performance data. We will not collect any information related to non-iOS devices.
• Usage Data: We will collect detailed information about how you interact with this App, including but not limited to your game history (e.g., tree species, tree growth progress, number of trees collected after reaching Level 3), tomato clock usage records (e.g., session duration, completion status), virtual water drop acquisition (tomato clock completion rewards) and consumption records (watering trees), accessed function pages, session duration, and in-app events (e.g., tomato clock start/end, tree watering, tree maturation, tree collection).
• Information You Voluntarily Provide: In certain cases, you may choose to provide us with information, such as when you set an in-game nickname (real-name registration not required), participate in online events held within the App, or provide contact information when contacting us through in-app feedback channels. We will not force you to provide any voluntary information.
•   We will not intentionally collect or request any highly sensitive personal information, such as your government-issued ID number, biometric data, financial account information, or precise geolocation (unless you explicitly authorize it and it is necessary for specific functions, which this App currently does not require).

 2. How We Use Your Information

  The information we collect is used for the following legitimate purposes, all of which are closely related to the core functions of this iOS App:

• Service Provision and Operation: The core purpose is to provide, maintain and optimize the integrated experience of tomato clock and tree cultivation, including processing the issuance of virtual water drops (based on tomato clock completion), tracking tree growth progress, recording the number of collected trees, and managing in-app data to ensure that the App runs stably on iOS devices.
• App Improvement and Analysis: Analyze usage trends and performance data on iOS devices, such as user-preferred tree species, tomato clock session duration distribution, and frequently used function modules, to diagnose technical issues (adapted to iOS system updates), fix errors, improve App stability and compatibility with iOS versions, and develop new game content (e.g., adding new sapling species, optimizing tomato clock settings), thereby enhancing the overall user experience on iOS.
• Advertising and Monetization: Display relevant advertising content to you by integrating third-party advertising platforms licensed by relevant authorities (e.g., Google AdMob, compliant with Apple’s App Tracking Transparency framework). This process may involve the use of device identifiers (e.g., IDFA) only after you explicitly consent through iOS system settings ("Settings" > "Privacy" > "Tracking"), to support personalized advertising, measure advertising effectiveness, and prevent ad fraud.
• Security and Compliance: Monitor and prevent fraud, cheating, abuse (e.g., maliciously brushing water drops, modifying tree growth data, etc.) or other illegal activities to protect the rights and interests of this App, our iOS users, and third-party partners. When required by law or Apple’s App Store regulations, it is used to fulfill our legal and platform obligations.

 3. Information Sharing and Disclosure

  We will only share your information with third parties in the following limited circumstances, and will never sell your personally identifiable information, in compliance with iOS privacy requirements:

• Third-Party Service Providers: We share necessary information with contracted third-party partners to help us operate our business and provide services for iOS users. This includes: Analytics Service Providers (e.g., Google Firebase Analytics, AppsFlyer): Used for anonymized or aggregated data analysis, such as statistics on overall App activity, tomato clock usage habits, and tree collection trends, without involving identifiable personal information.Advertising Platforms (e.g., Google AdMob): Used for the delivery and measurement of in-app advertising, strictly complying with their respective privacy policies and Apple’s App Tracking Transparency (ATT) framework, only using IDFA after your explicit consent.Cloud Service and Infrastructure Providers: Used for securely storing and processing your iOS App data, such as tree growth progress, tomato clock records, virtual water drop information, etc., with strict data security protection measures.
• Legal Obligations: We may disclose information when we believe it is necessary to comply with applicable laws, regulations, legal procedures, government mandatory requirements, or Apple’s App Store policies.
• Protection of Rights and Safety: Disclose information when necessary to protect the rights, property, or safety of us, our iOS users, or the public from harm, such as responding to behaviors that endanger App security (e.g., game data tampering, malicious attacks) or violate Apple’s platform rules.

 4. Data Storage, Security and Retention

• Storage and Security: We adopt industry-standard technical and organizational measures, as well as Apple-recommended security practices, to protect your data from unauthorized access, modification, disclosure, or destruction. Data is stored on secure servers with strict access controls. However, please note that no method of internet transmission or electronic storage is 100% secure; we will do our best to minimize potential risks.
• International Transfers: Due to our global operations, your information may be transmitted to servers outside your country or region for processing. We will ensure that such transfers are subject to appropriate protective measures (e.g., standard contractual clauses) to comply with applicable data protection laws and Apple’s privacy requirements.
• Retention Period: We will only retain your personal information for as long as necessary to achieve the purposes described in this Policy or as required by law and Apple’s regulations. When it is no longer needed (e.g., after you uninstall the App and there are no subsequent data association requirements), we will delete or anonymize this information in a secure manner.

 5. Children's Privacy

  This App is not designed for children. We will not intentionally collect personal information from children as defined by applicable laws (usually under 13 or 16 years old, depending on the jurisdiction) and Apple’s App Store guidelines. If we discover that we have inadvertently collected personal information from children, we will immediately take measures to delete such information from our servers and comply with relevant legal obligations.
