1. Introduction

DearPlay ("we", "our", "us") respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use the DearPlay application and website (www.dear-play.com).

2. Information We Collect

We collect minimal information necessary to provide our services:

Account Information: When you sign in with Google OAuth, we receive your name, email address, and profile picture from Google. We do not access your Google password.

Usage Data: We collect anonymous download counts (using hashed IP addresses), browser user-agent strings, and preferred language settings.

User Content: Posts, comments, and other content you submit to our community boards.

The DearPlay macOS app does not collect or transmit any personal data. All AI processing (transcription, translation) uses API keys you provide directly to third-party services.

3. Google OAuth

We use Google OAuth 2.0 for authentication. When you sign in, Google shares your basic profile information (name, email, profile picture) with us. We store this information to maintain your account. We do not access your Google contacts, calendar, drive, or any other Google services. You can revoke access at any time through your Google Account settings at myaccount.google.com/permissions.

- Provide and maintain your user account
- Display your name and avatar on community posts

5. Cookies

We use the following cookies:

Session Cookie: A PHP session cookie (PHPSESSID) for authentication. This is essential for login functionality.

Locale Cookie: A cookie storing your preferred language (ko, en, or ja). This persists for 1 year.

We do not use tracking cookies, analytics cookies, or third-party advertising cookies.

6. Data Sharing

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. We may share information only: (a) with your consent; (b) to comply with legal obligations; (c) to protect our rights or the safety of users.

7. Data Retention

Account information is retained as long as your account is active. You may request account deletion by contacting us. Download logs are retained in anonymized form (IP hashes) and cannot be traced back to individuals.
