Privacy Policy

Effective Date: February 6, 2026

Jackson Forge Studios LLC ("we," "us," or "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information when you use our mobile applications and website (collectively, "Services"). By using our Services, you agree to the practices described in this policy.

Apps Covered by This Policy

This policy applies to all Jackson Forge Studios LLC applications, including but not limited to Topsoil Tussle, DQS Mobile, and BrightLife, as well as the jacksonforgestudios.com website.

Information We Collect

Information You Provide

Depending on the app and features you use, we may collect information you voluntarily provide, such as:

Leaderboards and Public Scores

Some of our apps, including Topsoil Tussle, feature global leaderboards as a core part of gameplay. When you play a Tussle (a competitive timed play window), your display name and score are collected and displayed publicly on the global leaderboard. By playing a Tussle, you consent to your score being shared on the leaderboard. If you do not wish for your score to appear publicly, you may choose not to participate in Tussles.

Automatically Collected Information

When you use our apps, we may automatically collect limited technical information to help us maintain and improve the Services, such as device type, operating system version, app version, and crash or error logs. This information is collected in aggregate and is not used to personally identify you.

Information We Do Not Collect

We do not collect your physical address, phone number, precise location, or financial information through our apps. We do not require you to create an account to use most features of our apps.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

Advertising and Tracking

Some of our apps may display advertisements provided by third-party ad networks. These ad networks may collect certain information about your device and activity to serve relevant ads. If an app uses advertising that involves tracking (as defined by Apple), we will request your permission through Apple's App Tracking Transparency (ATT) framework before any tracking occurs. You can choose to allow or deny tracking, and you can change this preference at any time in your device's Settings under Privacy & Security > Tracking.

If you deny tracking permission, you may still see ads, but they will not be personalized based on data collected from other companies' apps or websites.

Currently, Topsoil Tussle does not include third-party advertising or tracking. This section will apply if advertising is added in a future update, and the app's App Store privacy labels will be updated accordingly.

Third-Party Services

Our apps may use third-party services for functionality such as in-app purchases, analytics, or crash reporting. These services may collect information in accordance with their own privacy policies. Third-party services we may use include:

We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party services.

Data Sharing

We do not sell, rent, or lease your personal information to third parties. We may share information only in the following circumstances:

Data Retention and Deletion

We retain your information only as long as necessary to provide our Services or as required by law. Most app data is stored locally on your device. If you wish to delete any account data or information stored on our servers (such as leaderboard entries), please contact us at support@jacksonforgestudios.com. We will verify your identity and delete your data promptly.

Children's Privacy

Our apps are generally intended for all ages. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 (or the applicable age in your jurisdiction). Our apps do not require account creation or the submission of personal information to use core features. If a leaderboard or other feature involves data collection, parental consent should be obtained for children under 13. If we learn that we have inadvertently collected personal information from a child under 13 without appropriate consent, we will take steps to delete that information. If you believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us at support@jacksonforgestudios.com.

Security

We take reasonable measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make changes, we will update the "Effective Date" at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Continued use of our Services after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
