Privacy Policy
Last updated: October 4, 2026
This policy explains what information Study Bunny Games, LLC ("we", "us") collects through our game, Learn Japanese RPG: Hiragana Forbidden Speech (called "Learn Japanese RPG" on Google Play), and through our website, studybunnygames.com. If you have any questions, email us at contact@studybunnygames.com.
The game
The game never asks for your name, email address or an account, and it has no ads. To fix bugs and make the game better, it can send crash reports and anonymous gameplay statistics, described below. You can turn these off in the game's settings.
- Crash and error reports (in versions of the game that include them): when the game crashes or hits an error, it sends a report to Sentry, our error-reporting service. A report contains what went wrong, the game version, your device model and operating system version, and a random ID that the game creates when it's installed. It doesn't contain your name, email address, saves or your device's advertising ID, and we set Sentry not to store IP addresses. See Sentry's privacy policy.
- Gameplay statistics (in versions of the game that include them): the game can send anonymous information about how it's played, such as how far you've got in the story, which characters, words and lessons you've learned, how long you play, where you stop, which settings you use and whether you unlocked the full game. It's linked only to the same random ID, never to your name or your Google or Steam account, and an analytics service processes it for us. We use it only to find where players get stuck and to improve the game and its lessons.
- Turning them off: you can switch off crash reports and gameplay statistics at any time in the game's settings. While they're off, the game sends neither. Uninstalling the game also deletes its random ID.
- Saves and settings stay on your device, and we never receive them. On Android, uninstalling the game deletes them.
- Device backups: if backup is turned on for your Android device, Google may include the game's saves in your device backup. Google handles this, and we can't see it.
- Buying the full game on Google Play: Google processes the payment, and we never see your payment details. The game receives a purchase confirmation from Google Play and keeps it on your device to unlock the full game. Google gives us limited order information (such as the order number, date, price and country) for accounting, taxes and refunds. Google's privacy policy covers the payment. The purchase library the game uses (Unity In-App Purchasing) can also send Unity short-lived technical diagnostics about the purchase service, which aren't stored; see Unity's privacy policy.
- Steam: if you got the game on Steam, Valve handles your Steam account, your purchase and any Steam Cloud saves under Valve's privacy policy.
- Links: the game links to our Discord server. Discord, like any other site you open from the game or our website, has its own privacy policy.
- Messages and bug reports: if you email us or post on our Discord, we see what you send and use it only to reply and to fix the game.
Our website
- Newsletter: if you sign up, we collect your email address. Mailchimp stores it and sends the newsletter for us. Mailchimp also records whether you open our emails and which links you click, so we can see what's useful. We only email you about our games, and every email has an unsubscribe link. See Mailchimp's privacy policy.
- Google Analytics: uses cookies to count visits and see which pages are read. It collects information such as the pages you view, your browser and device type, and your approximate location. We only look at totals, not at individual visitors. You can opt out with Google's opt-out browser add-on.
- Meta (Facebook) Pixel: tells Meta when you visit our website, so we can measure and show ads on Facebook and Instagram. If you're logged in to Facebook, Meta may link the visit to your account. You can change this in your Facebook ad settings; see Meta's privacy policy.
- Server logs: the web server keeps standard logs (IP address, browser and pages requested) to keep the site running and secure.
Who we share information with
We don't sell personal information. We share it only with the services named on this page (Google, Valve, Discord, Mailchimp, Meta, Sentry and Unity) and the analytics service that processes the game's gameplay statistics for us, which handle it under their own privacy policies, or when the law requires it. Information sent from the game travels over an encrypted connection.
How long we keep it
- Newsletter address: until you unsubscribe or ask us to delete it.
- Website analytics: for the limited period set in our Google Analytics account.
- Crash reports and gameplay statistics: for the limited period set in each service, then deleted.
- Emails and Discord messages: only as long as we need them to help you.
Children
The game is made for ages 13 and up. It doesn't ask anyone, including children, for a name, email address or other contact details; its crash reports and gameplay statistics are linked only to a random install ID. We don't knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 on our website. If you think a child under 13 has signed up for our newsletter, email us and we'll delete their address.
Your choices
You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time, and turn off the game's crash reports and gameplay statistics in its settings. You can also ask us what information we have about you, or ask us to delete it, by emailing contact@studybunnygames.com. Because the game's reports are linked only to a random install ID and not to you, we usually can't pick out one player's reports; uninstalling the game starts a new ID.
Changes to this policy
If we change this policy, we'll post the new version on this page and update the date at the top.
