Privacy Policy for Hyperbolic Time Chamber
Effective Date: 24 July 2025

1. Who are you?
‍
1.1. This Privacy Policy describes Meta's ("we", "our") practices for handling your personal information when you play Hyperbolic Time Chamber.
1.2. If you have problems understanding anything in this document, do not hesitate to contact us at hyperbolicvr@gmail.com.

2. What will I find in this document?
‍
2.1. Below you will learn why, to what extent, for what purpose and for how long we process your personal data. You will also learn who will have access to your personal data and what your rights are in relation to the processing of the personal data.
2.2. We respect your right to privacy and, despite the fact that we try to process as much information as possible as anonymised or pseudonymised data, we want you to know that your data is safe with us.

3. What kind of personal data about me are you collecting and why?
‍
3.1. So that you can play Hyperbolic Time Chamber and we are able to repair and improve the game, we collect the following data about you: identification data (avatar, nickname or user ID under which you are registered etc.); technical data (data about your device etc.); data concerning your use of Hyperbolic Time Chamber (when and how and how successfully you play the game).
We only use this personal data for the two below-specified purposes: to enable the functioning of Hyperbolic Time Chamber and to create statistics contributing to the improvement of the game.
3.2. Firstly, we need your personal data described above (identification data, technical data and game use data) so that the game is functional, including leaderboards etc. The reason for such processing is based on the necessity to fulfill the agreement between you and us. For people in the EU under the age of majority (under 18 years in most EU countries) who have a limited ability to enter into an enforceable contract, the reason for such processing is based on our legitimate interests.
3.3. We need to process some of your personal data for our statistical purposes. These include either purely technical data (i.e. information not containing any personal data at all) or the other above-described data in pseudonymised form, that is, highly confidential data to which we assign a special number so that nobody except for us is able to match the data to the existing identifier using the given number. This processing is based on our legitimate interest, which is the continuous improvement of the game. You have the right to object to this processing in the manner described below.3.4. We track the performances of users solely based on their highest scores and the Leaderboard. For example, every player can see their place in the Leaderboard, as well as the Meta handles of the six players below and the six players above them. So if someone has a slightly lower or slightly higher high score than you, you will be able to see them in your Leaderboard. The top 10 players and their high scores are always publicly visible.

4. How will you process my personal data?
‍
4.1. With regard to the above-mentioned purposes, it is apparent that we do not need your personal data in a form that enables your identification. For this reason, we shall process the information (especially statistics) in aggregated (non-identifiable) form as much as possible, and where this is not possible, we shall process the information in pseudonymised form as much as possible.

5. Do you need my consent for the processing?

5.1. In fact, we do not need your consent as for all forms of processing, we have other legitimate reasons (because this is necessary for fulfillment of agreement or it is in our legitimate interest).

6. For how long will you retain my personal data?

6.1. We will keep your personal data for as long as it is necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected as described above and in accordance with applicable law.
Only for the time for which you play Hyperbolic Time Chamber and at the maximum until you've deleted your account on any platform that you used to purchase our game or until you've ensured the complete erasure of Hyperbolic Time Chamber from your library on any given platform. However, most of the data is kept in aggregate form only (when you cannot be identified) and only for as long as necessary.

7. Do I have to give my personal data to you? Do you have to process them?

7.1. If you want to play Hyperbolic Time Chamber, we need the said personal data as per paragraph 3 above so that we can enable you to play. Unfortunately, this is not possible without your personal data.

8. To whom do you transfer my personal data?

8.1. We have the personal data in our possession for the whole time. To some partners, we provide aggregated statistics (not personal data) only.
8.2. Apart from us, however, your personal data are also processed by the platforms through which you have purchased our game and, in those circumstances, your personal data will be processed in accordance with the relevant platform's privacy notice. For the time being, the only platform Hyperbolic Time Chamber can be purchased from is: 8.2.1. Oculus
8.3. Your personal data are also processed by Unity, which ensures the creation and management of statistics concerning our game as mentioned above. (Privacy policy available at: https://unity3d.com/legal/privacy-policy).
8.4. We share information globally, in accordance with this Privacy Policy. Information controlled by Meta will be transferred or transmitted to, or stored and processed in, the United States or other countries outside where you live for the purposes as described in this Privacy Policy. These data transfers are necessary to provide you with the services as set forth in the End User Licence Agreement and to globally operate and provide Hyperbolic Time Chamber. We use standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission and rely on the European Commission's adequacy decisions about certain countries, as applicable, for data transfers from the European Economic Area ("EEA") to the United States and other countries.
