FORM — A Puzzle Journey · Current development builds
Privacy Policy
Effective date:
This policy explains how the current development builds of FORM — A Puzzle Journey (Android package com.form.puzzlejourney) handle information. It applies to the app and support correspondence about the app and describes the implemented features as of the effective date.
Privacy at a glance: FORM plays offline without an account. Your progress, preferences, practice results, and recovery saves stay on your device. The current app has no advertising, analytics, in-app purchases, or cloud sync.
1. Who we are
FORM is operated by AC Utveckling (AC mobiltillbehör HB), based in Sweden.
For privacy questions, contact claeseriksson@acutveckling.com.
2. Information stored on your device
The app saves the following information locally to retain your progress, generate puzzles, and remember your preferences:
- Level progress, stars, and perfect-level records for the Easy and Hard journeys.
- Your world seed, selected difficulty, and sound, haptic-feedback, and reduced-motion preferences.
- Solved-answer totals, current and best answer streaks, and unlocked achievements.
- Dates and star records of completed daily challenges, and the number of practice sessions.
- The number of completed mock tests and the latest result, including answer, correct-answer, skipped-question, and timed-out-question counts.
- A prior valid save retained locally for recovery if the latest save cannot be read.
The main save is form_save.json and its recovery copy is form_save.json.bak. A temporary form_save.json.tmp file is used while writing a save and may remain after an interrupted write. The Godot engine may also create local logs and cache files used to run or diagnose the app. None of these files are uploaded by the app.
The daily puzzle uses the device’s local date. FORM uses Android vibration only for optional answer feedback; you can switch off Haptic feedback in Settings. The app does not access your camera, microphone, location, or contacts and does not require your name or email address to play.
Mock-test results are local practice records. They are not an official assessment or IQ score and are not sent to employers, assessment providers, or us.
3. Collection, sharing, and security
The current app does not connect to the network or transmit progress, practice results, settings, daily completion dates, or engine logs to us or third parties. We cannot access the records stored only on your device and do not sell or share them.
The app has no accounts, advertising, analytics, tracking services, in-app purchases, or developer-operated cloud synchronization.
On Android, local files are held in the app’s private storage, protected by Android’s app storage controls. Android app backup is disabled in the current build. On Windows, the app uses your user account’s app-data folder and the operating system’s access controls. Keep your device and user account secure; the app does not provide a separate password or encryption system for its saves.
4. Retention and deletion
Local records remain until you reset progress, clear the app’s storage, or remove its app-data files. In Settings, Reset saved progress clears journey progress, perfect-level records, achievements, daily history, solved-answer statistics, practice count, mock-test count, and the latest mock result. It preserves your preferences, selected difficulty, and world seed.
Resetting progress does not remove engine files and may leave the previous progress in the local recovery save. To remove all records, including the recovery and any temporary save, clear or delete the entire app-data storage as described below.
On Android, use Android Settings → Apps → FORM → Storage → Clear storage, or uninstall the app. Clearing cache alone does not erase saved progress or its recovery copy.
On Windows, close the app and delete its app-data folder, normally %APPDATA%\Godot\app_userdata\FORM — A Puzzle Journey\, to remove the main save, recovery and temporary saves, and local engine files. Deleting the executable or its download folder does not erase this separate app-data folder.
Copies you create yourself through device transfers or external backup tools must be deleted separately.
5. Contact correspondence
If you contact us by email, we receive your email address and the message or attachments you choose to send. We use them to answer your request and resolve support issues, based on our legitimate interest in providing support. Email providers process correspondence to deliver and store it.
We retain correspondence only as long as needed to handle the request, relevant follow-up, or legal obligations. Please avoid sending information that is unnecessary for your support request. You can contact us to ask about or request deletion of your correspondence.
6. Your rights
Where applicable under GDPR, you may request access, correction, deletion, restriction, or data portability, and object to processing of your personal information. Contact claeseriksson@acutveckling.com to exercise your rights. We cannot remotely access or delete game data stored only on your device; you can remove it using the steps above.
Read more about your data protection rights. You may also lodge a complaint with Integritetsskyddsmyndigheten (IMY), the Swedish Authority for Privacy Protection.
7. Children
The same offline, local-only gameplay practices apply to all players, including children. No personal information is required to play, and the current app does not collect personal information from players.
8. Policy changes
We will update this page and its effective date if the app’s features or data practices change, including before adding features that collect or transmit information. This policy describes the current development builds; future releases may have an updated policy.
