Privacy Policy

Last updated: December 5, 2025

Veiled Castle Ltd ("we", "us", or "our") operates the Veiled Castle live wallpaper application (the "App"). This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and your choices.

Data We Collect

Device Identifiers

We collect device identifiers (Android ID and app signing certificate hash) to:

Bind purchased content to your device, preventing unauthorized copying
Enforce device limits on user codes (maximum 5 devices per code)
Verify legitimate access to premium content

Device identifiers are stored as one-way hashes and cannot be used to identify you personally.

Device Information

We collect basic device information (device model, screen corner radius, aspect ratio) to:

Deliver device-optimized wallpaper content
Build anonymous aggregate statistics about which devices use the App, helping us prioritize testing and compatibility

This information is not linked to your identity.

Purchase Information

When you make a purchase through Google Play, we receive a purchase token from Google. We send this token to our server to verify your purchase with Google's servers. We do not store purchase history—Google Play is the source of truth for your purchases.

Location (Weather Widget)

If you use the weather widget, you select an approximate location (city-level precision) via an in-app map. This location is:

Chosen by you, not detected from your device
Sent to our server, which retrieves weather data on your behalf
Not shared with third parties—weather queries are aggregated across all users and contain no user identifiers
Processed ephemerally (held in memory only, not stored or logged)
Never used for tracking, profiling, or any other purpose

User Codes

If you earn or receive a user code for lifetime access:

The code and its activation records (device identifiers, activation timestamps) are stored on our server
This enables the 5-device limit and allows you to restore access on new devices
Inactive device activations are automatically removed after 90 days
User codes themselves do not expire

Data Retention

Data	Retention
Device identifiers (activation records)	Deleted after 90 days of inactivity
User codes	Retained indefinitely (required for lifetime access)
Device model statistics	Retained indefinitely (aggregate, anonymous)
Purchase tokens	Not stored (transient verification only)
Weather location	Not stored (ephemeral processing only)

Data Sharing

We do not sell your data. We do not share your data with third parties except:

Google Play: Purchase tokens are verified with Google's servers

Data Security

All data transmitted between the App and our servers is encrypted using TLS 1.3
API communications use certificate pinning for additional security
Device identifiers are stored as hashes, not raw values

While we strive to use commercially acceptable means of protecting your data, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure.

Your Choices

Purchases: You can restore purchases on a new device using Google Play's restore function or by entering your user code
User codes: You can manage active devices in the App settings
Weather widget: You can choose not to use this feature; no location data is collected unless you configure the widget
Deletion: Contact us to request deletion of your user code and associated activation records

Links to Other Sites

This Service may contain links to other sites. If you click on a third-party link, you will be directed to that site. Note that these external sites are not operated by us. Therefore, we strongly advise you to review the Privacy Policy of these websites. We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party sites or services.

Children's Privacy

The App does not knowingly collect data from children under 13. The App contains no user-generated content, social features, or targeted advertising. If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so that we can take the necessary actions.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of significant changes through the App or other means. You are advised to review this page periodically for any changes.
