Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 20, 2026

Off the Record ("the App") is an offline romance story game developed and published by TidalAurum, LLC ("TidalAurum", "we", "us"). The App is distributed on Google Play under the developer name "shuo lin" and the package name com.linshuo.offtherecord. This policy explains what information is handled when you use the App.

Summary

• We do not collect personal data. There are no accounts and no sign-in, and we do not run our own servers.
• Your story progress and settings are stored only on your device.
• Ads are served by Google AdMob, which may process your device's advertising ID, device information, approximate location (from your IP address), ad interactions and diagnostic data.
• Optional in-app purchases are processed by Google Play; we never receive your card or payment details.
• Reminder notifications are scheduled on your device; they send no data.
• The App is not directed at children under 13.

Information stored on your device

The App works offline. Your story progress, choices, purchased items and settings are saved only in the App's private storage on your device. The App has no accounts and we do not operate servers that receive data from the App, so we never receive or keep copies of this information. It is removed when you delete the App.

Advertising by Google AdMob

The App shows rewarded and interstitial ads served by Google AdMob through the Google Mobile Ads SDK. The SDK may collect the following data and share it with Google:

• Device or other IDs, such as the Android advertising ID.
• Device information, such as device model, operating system version and language.
• Approximate location, derived from your IP address.
• App interactions, such as ad views and ad taps.
• Diagnostics, such as ad-related crash logs and performance data.

This data is used for advertising, analytics, and fraud prevention, security and compliance. Google's handling of this data is described in the Google Privacy Policy and in How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services.

Your privacy choices

In regions where the law requires it, such as the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland, the App shows Google's consent form (Google User Messaging Platform) before personalized ads are served. If you do not give consent, Google may still serve non-personalized ads, which rely on limited data such as general location and the content of the App. In those regions, you can review or change your choice at any time in the App under Menu > Privacy Settings (tap the menu button with three lines at the top left; the link is at the bottom of the menu), which opens Google's privacy options form. If you do not see Privacy Settings in the menu, a consent choice is not required where you are. You can also limit ad personalization for all apps in your Android settings (see "Data retention and deletion" below), or contact us.

In-app purchases

The App offers optional in-app purchases through Google Play Billing. Payment is processed entirely by Google Play under Google's own terms and privacy policy. Google Play confirms the purchase to the App on your device so the item can be delivered. We never receive your name, email address, payment card or billing details.

Notifications

If you allow notifications, the App schedules a reminder on your device when your tickets have refilled. These notifications are created locally and send no data to us or to any server.

Analytics

The App does not include any analytics, tracking or crash-reporting service of its own. The only third-party SDK that receives data is the Google Mobile Ads SDK described above, along with Google Play for purchases.

Data security

All data sent by the App, including data sent by the Google Mobile Ads SDK and Google Play, is encrypted in transit using HTTPS (TLS).

Data retention and deletion

We do not store any of your data on our servers, so there is no data held by us to delete. To remove your game data, delete the App from your device. To reset or limit the advertising identifier on Android, open Settings > Google > Ads (on some devices Settings > Privacy > Ads), then choose Reset advertising ID or Delete advertising ID.

For any privacy question or request, contact us at nathanlinshuo@tidalaurum.com.

Children

The App is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information through the App, contact us and we will take appropriate steps.

Data sharing

We do not sell your personal data for money. Information is shared only with Google AdMob and Google Play as described in this policy.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct or delete personal data, and to object to or restrict its processing. Because we do not hold personal data about you, requests about advertising data can also be made to Google directly.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The current version is always published on this page, with the date of the last update shown at the top.
