Black Story AI: Dark Riddle

1. Introduction & Scope

LPP Development Studio ("LPP", "we", "our", "us") is the creator of Black Story AI: Dark Riddle — an interactive storytelling game powered by proprietary AI that generates dark mystery narratives, riddles, and branching choices. This Privacy Policy governs your use of our mobile application, web version, and associated services (collectively, the "App"). We are committed to transparency regarding data collection, AI behavior, and your rights as a player.

Our official website: developer.lpp.ovh | Privacy contact: [email protected]. By downloading or playing Black Story AI: Dark Riddle, you confirm that you have read and understood this policy, including the specific provisions regarding AI‑generated content that may contain disturbing themes.

2. Information We Collect

We minimize data collection to essential gameplay and improvement metrics. The following categories are collected:

2.1 User‑provided information

• Optional account: If you create a profile (nickname, avatar) for saving story progress across devices, we store only a pseudonymous identifier and your in‑game choices (not linked to real identity). No email required unless you contact support.
• Support correspondence: When you email [email protected] or use in‑app feedback, we collect your email address and any details you share.
• Voluntary story ratings: You may rate a generated riddle or story branch; this data is anonymized for quality improvement.

2.2 Automatically collected technical data

• Device info: App version, OS version, device model (anonymized).
• Usage metrics: Number of stories started, average session length, preferred genres (e.g., gothic, psychological).
• AI interaction logs (anonymized): We record the sequence of choices you make (e.g., "selected door A then used key") to improve narrative coherence. We do NOT store the raw text outputs of the AI in association with your identity; only aggregated choice pathways.
• Crash reports: Stack traces to debug AI inference errors or UI issues.

2.3 What we NEVER collect

• ✖ Real names, postal addresses, or government IDs.
• ✖ Biometric data, location (GPS).
• ✖ Contact lists, photos, or microphone recordings.
• ✖ Payment information (all purchases handled via App Store/Google Play, not LPP).
• ✖ Any data from users under the age of 16 (see Children's section).

3. AI Story Generation & Data Handling

Black Story AI: Dark Riddle uses a proprietary neural model (LPP‑Narrator v2) that runs either locally on your device (when offline mode is available) or via our secure cloud endpoints. Key principles:

• No external AI APIs: We do not use OpenAI, Anthropic, or any third‑party LLM services. All generation is done by in‑house models hosted on LPP infrastructure or on‑device.
• Input privacy: Your in‑game choices are sent to our AI only to generate the next narrative segment. They are not retained after generating a response, except for anonymized choice frequencies used to train future models (opt‑out available).
• Content filtering: The AI is guided to avoid generating illegal content (e.g., child exploitation, real‑world violence instructions). However, due to the dark theme, it may produce disturbing fictional scenarios; you can skip any scene or exit the story at any time.
• No behavioral profiling beyond the game: Data about your narrative preferences is used solely to personalize riddles within the app and is never sold or shared with advertisers.

4. How We Use Your Information

We process collected data for the following legitimate purposes:

• Deliver interactive stories: To generate the next riddle or plot twist based on your choices.
• Improve narrative quality: Aggregate choice data helps us reduce plot inconsistencies and adjust difficulty of riddles.
• Technical maintenance: Crash reports and performance metrics ensure stable AI inference.
• Security & fraud prevention: Detect and prevent abusive usage (e.g., attempts to extract AI weights or bypass content filters).
• Legal compliance: Respond to lawful requests from authorities or enforce our Terms of Service.

Opt‑out choices: You can disable analytics collection in the Settings → Privacy menu. Disabling does not affect core gameplay.

5. Sharing & Disclosure of Information

LPP does not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. Limited sharing occurs only in these contexts:

• Service providers: Cloud hosting (OVH, AWS), crash reporting (Sentry), and analytics (self‑hosted Plausible). All processors sign data protection agreements and cannot use data for other purposes.
• Legal obligations: If required by law, subpoena, or court order, we may disclose relevant data after notifying you where permitted.
• Business transfers: In case of merger, acquisition, or asset sale, user data would be transferred with continued protection under this policy.

We never share your narrative choices with third‑party AI models or advertising networks. The dark riddle content remains confined to the app.

6. Data Security

We implement industry‑standard measures: encryption at rest (AES‑256) for any stored cloud data, TLS 1.3 for all communications between app and servers, regular security audits, and access controls restricted to essential personnel. AI inference requests are ephemeral; they are processed in isolated containers and wiped after response generation.

7. Data Retention

Anonymized choice aggregates are kept indefinitely for model improvement. Personal data (e.g., support email threads) is retained for 3 years after last interaction. You may request deletion of your pseudonymous account and all associated choice history at any time via [email protected]. Crash logs are anonymized after 90 days.

8. Your Privacy Rights (GDPR / CCPA / LGPD)

Depending on your jurisdiction, you have the following rights:

• Right to access – obtain confirmation and a copy of your data.
• Right to rectification – correct inaccurate data.
• Right to erasure ("right to be forgotten") – delete your personal data.
• Right to restrict processing – limit our use of your data.
• Right to data portability – receive data in a structured format.
• Right to object – opt out of analytics or AI model training.

To exercise your rights, email [email protected]. We will respond within 30 days. For EU residents, you have the right to lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority. California residents: we do not sell personal information as defined by CCPA.

9. Cookies & Local Storage

The App uses local storage (IndexedDB, SharedPreferences) to save your story progress, settings, and choice history. No cross‑site tracking cookies are used. The web version may set a session cookie for authentication if you log in. You can clear local data at any time from your device settings; this will reset your current story but not affect the AI’s future generation.

10. Age Restrictions & Children’s Privacy

Black Story AI: Dark Riddle is intended for users aged 16 and older due to dark thematic content including psychological horror, suspense, and fictional violence. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 16. If we become aware that a user under 16 has provided data, we will delete it immediately. Parents or guardians may contact [email protected] to request removal.

11. International Data Transfers

LPP is headquartered in France (European Union). Data may be processed in the EU, Canada, or the US depending on cloud provider locations. For transfers from the EEA to third countries, we rely on Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) and the EU‑US Data Privacy Framework where applicable. By using the App, you consent to such transfers as necessary for the AI story generation service.

12. Dark Content & Mental Health Disclaimer

As the name "Dark Riddle" implies, the AI may generate narratives involving death, fear, supernatural threats, psychological distress, and morally ambiguous choices. LPP provides content warnings before particularly intense scenes and offers a "skip scene" button. We recommend that players who are sensitive to horror or have anxiety disorders exercise caution. The app does not provide any form of therapy or crisis intervention. If you experience emotional distress, please contact a qualified mental health professional. LPP disclaims all liability for psychological reactions to AI‑generated fiction.

13. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this policy to reflect legal changes, new AI features, or regulatory guidance. Material changes will be notified via in‑app popup or email (if you provided one). The "Last updated" date at the top of this document indicates the latest revision. Continued use of Black Story AI: Dark Riddle after changes constitutes acceptance. If you disagree, you should stop using the App and request data deletion.

Additional legal note: This policy is governed by the laws of France. Any disputes related to privacy or AI content shall be submitted to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Paris, unless mandatory consumer protection laws dictate otherwise.
