KINOCUS

Privacy Policy

Effective date: 11 November 2026 Last updated: 11 November 2026

1. Data controller

KINOCUS is provided by Sergio Callarelli, which is also the developer name listed on the stores (“we”, “us”, or the “Data Controller”).

For privacy questions: privacy@kinocus.com.
For application support: support@kinocus.com.

2. Scope of this policy

This policy describes data processing in connection with the KINOCUS mobile application, the https://kinocus.com website, and support requests voluntarily sent to us.

KINOCUS is a bimanual coordination and skill game. It is not a medical device, does not provide diagnosis or treatment, and makes no medical or cognitive improvement claims.

3. Data processed by the application

The version of KINOCUS described by this policy:

  • does not require a KINOCUS account;
  • does not send gameplay or device data to a server operated by the Data Controller;
  • does not integrate advertising, profiling, tracking, or remote analytics;
  • does not use advertising identifiers or persistent installation identifiers;
  • does not access location, camera, microphone, contacts, photos, health data, or other personal device resources;
  • can be played offline; online leaderboards require a platform profile and a connection.

The application stores the information required for local play on the device, including:

  • level progress and unlocked content;
  • scores, personal bests, and run summaries;
  • the selected Skin and Skin unlock state;
  • language preference;
  • audio, haptic feedback, and visual-effect settings;
  • pending official-competition scores and the platform player identifier used to associate a submission with its account.

Progress and preferences are not sent to our servers. Official-competition score submissions to Apple or Google are described below. The operating system may include local data in a device backup or restore it to a new device according to the user's Apple or Google account settings. These backups are managed by the platform provider and are not accessible to the Data Controller.

Data handled by app stores

Apple and Google independently process the data required to operate their stores, deliver downloads, and handle any purchase under their own policies. They may also provide the Data Controller with aggregated statistics and diagnostic data subject to the user's choices and platform privacy thresholds. KINOCUS does not use those services to create an in-app account, profile users, or add proprietary analytics.

Official competition and platform leaderboards

The official timed competition uses Game Center on iPhone and iPad and Google Play Games on Android. These services require their own player profile. They do not create a KINOCUS account or synchronize the Path, preferences, or skin unlocks between devices. Local Challenges retain local records.

When the feature is enabled and the platform service is available, eligible scores from completed official runs can be submitted automatically through that service. KINOCUS uses the leaderboard identifier to submit the score and retrieve the player's score and rank. If a submission cannot be confirmed, the result may stay on the device. KINOCUS uses the platform player identifier to associate a retry with the same platform account. Playing does not require participation in an online leaderboard.

Apple and Google process the information under their own policies. On Game Center global leaderboards, other Game Center users can see the player's score, nickname, and avatar. On Google Play Games, score and profile visibility depend on the service's settings. Use the platform's controls to manage the profile and results. Read Game Center & Privacy, Google's Privacy Policy, and Play Games profile settings.

4. Device permissions and features

On Android, KINOCUS uses vibration permission for haptic feedback. Online leaderboards connect through Google Play Games. On iOS, KINOCUS uses standard audio, haptic, and Game Center capabilities. Audio and haptic feedback can be disabled independently in the application settings.

The application does not record sound and does not use the microphone.

5. Voluntary result sharing

When the user selects “Share”, KINOCUS prepares result text and, when available, a result image, then opens the operating system's share sheet. Nothing is shared until the user personally chooses an application, service, or recipient.

Any subsequent processing is performed by the service selected by the user under that service's terms and privacy policy. KINOCUS does not receive the list of recipients or a copy of the messages sent.

6. Support requests

If a user contacts us by email, we may receive the email address, any name they provide, the message content, and attachments they choose to send. Users should not send sensitive or unnecessary information.

We use this data only to respond, diagnose the issue, prevent abuse, and keep a record of the request. The legal basis is taking steps at the user's request and, where applicable, our legitimate interest in providing support and protecting the service.

Support communications are deleted when no longer needed and in any event no later than 12 months after the request is closed, unless longer retention is required by law or necessary to establish, exercise, or defend a legal claim.

7. Website, cookies, and technical logs

The KINOCUS website does not use accounts, profiling forms, advertising cookies, analytics tools, or fonts loaded from external services.

The website is hosted by Cloudflare, which operates a globally distributed network. We operate no application server and create no proprietary application logs. To deliver and protect the website, Cloudflare may process IP address, request date and time, requested page, user agent, and diagnostic data. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in keeping the website available and secure. Cloudflare processes this data under its own policy: cloudflare.com/privacypolicy.

The @kinocus.com addresses also use Cloudflare Email Routing, which forwards messages to the mailbox provider selected by the Data Controller. The message and its metadata may therefore be processed by Cloudflare and the destination mailbox provider solely to route, protect, and deliver the communication.

If analytics, non-essential cookies, contact forms, or a newsletter are added in the future, this policy and any required consent mechanism will be updated before they are enabled.

8. Data disclosure and sale

We do not sell personal data. KINOCUS does not send gameplay data to a developer-operated server or share it with advertisers, data brokers, or proprietary analytics providers. Official-competition scores are sent to the selected platform service as described above.

Data voluntarily sent to support may be processed by Cloudflare for routing and by the mailbox provider selected by the Data Controller, only as needed to deliver, protect, and manage the communication.

9. International transfers

Online leaderboard processing may take place in countries where Apple or Google operate, under their respective policies and safeguards. The website and incoming email use Cloudflare services over a global network, so technical request data and messages may be processed outside the European Economic Area. Cloudflare includes the European Commission's standard contractual clauses in its Data Data Processing Addendum. The destination mailbox provider may make further transfers under its own policy and applicable safeguards.

10. Retention and deletion of local data

Progress and preferences remain on the device until the user clears the application data or uninstalls KINOCUS. An operating-system backup may retain a copy according to the user's settings.

KINOCUS has no proprietary accounts or cloud storage, so there is no remote KINOCUS account to delete. To reset local data, users can use the application-management features provided by their device. Current instructions are available at https://kinocus.com/support.

Clearing KINOCUS data does not delete a Game Center or Play Games profile or scores already held by that platform. Its settings and privacy controls govern their retention and removal.

11. Data subject rights

Depending on applicable law, users may have the right to request access, correction, deletion, restriction, portability, or objection regarding their personal data, and to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority. In Italy, the competent authority is the Italian Data Protection Authority.

Because local progress is not sent to us and there is no KINOCUS account, we generally cannot identify or retrieve a particular user's local data. Requests regarding data voluntarily sent to support may be submitted to privacy@kinocus.com. We may request only the information needed to locate the communication and verify the request.

12. Children

KINOCUS is a general-audience game and is not specifically directed to children. The application has no proprietary child profile. Platform age, family, and profile settings also govern online leaderboard participation. A minor who needs support should ask a parent or guardian to contact us without including unnecessary information.

Store age-band selections and regional ratings are determined through the platforms' official questionnaires and do not replace this policy.

13. Security

Keeping Path progress and preferences on the device limits their exposure. We use reasonable safeguards for any support communications and limit access to providers and people who need it.

No system is completely secure. Users should protect their devices and the Apple, Google, and email accounts they use for backups or communications.

14. Changes to this policy

We will update this policy before introducing material changes such as accounts, cloud synchronization, analytics, remote crash reporting, advertising, purchases, or changes to the online services described here. The updated version will state its effective date and be published at this same address.
