Privacy Policy

1. Who operates Jarana

Jarana is a product operated by Virtux (“Virtux”, “we”, “us”, or “our”). For privacy questions, requests, or complaints about Jarana, contact [email protected].

2. The short version

Jarana is designed so that the active party-game experience works without an account, login, or an internet connection. We do not currently use Jarana to sell personal information, serve third-party advertising, build an advertising profile, or send push notifications. The app does not currently upload your player photos or the names and scores entered for a local game to a Jarana server.

Some information may still be processed by your device operating system, the app stores, or optional services that you deliberately use, such as a web page opened from a QR code. Those services may have their own privacy notices.

Releases configured with Sentry automatically send limited technical diagnostics to help us investigate errors and keep the app reliable. Diagnostics are separate from the local player profiles and game content described below.

3. Information stored locally by the app

Depending on how you use Jarana, the app may store the following on the device where it is installed:

Player details

Names, nicknames, emojis, or other labels that you enter to identify people at the table.

Profile photos

A photo you deliberately take with the camera for a local player profile, together with the local reference needed to display it.

Game preferences

Favorites, recently played games, setup drafts, local content settings, sessions, scores, and similar preferences that make the next game quicker to start.

Technical state

Local app state needed for reliable offline operation, upgrades, and recovery from an interrupted session.

This information is used to operate the app on your device. It is not a public profile and is not uploaded by Jarana as part of the normal local game loop. Other people who can unlock or use your device may be able to see information you leave in the app.

4. Camera and device permissions

Jarana requests camera access only when you choose the option to take a photo for a player profile. The camera is not used continuously, in the background, for advertising, or to identify people. If you deny or later revoke camera access, the rest of the app remains available, although you cannot take a new profile photo until you grant access again.

Jarana uses the device accelerometer only during a game controlled by tilting the phone. Motion data is processed on the device for gameplay and is not stored or sent to Jarana or third parties.

Jarana does not currently require contacts, precise location, microphone recording, health data, Bluetooth, call history, SMS, or notification permissions for its core experience. App stores and operating systems may process basic device and installation information under their own policies.

5. QR companion pages

Some Jarana games include QR codes that open optional browser-based companion pages hosted by Virtux:

• Garabato Loco
• Descifra el Código

These pages are not required to play the offline mobile catalog. Their game state is designed to stay in the browser’s local storage. When a browser requests a page, the hosting infrastructure may necessarily receive standard technical request data such as an IP address, user-agent, timestamp, and security or error information. This data is used for delivery, abuse prevention, reliability, and security, and is not used by Jarana to create a player advertising profile.

Do not enter passwords, payment details, government identifiers, health information, or other sensitive information into a QR companion page. Your browser, device, network provider, and any other website you open from a link may process data under their own terms.

6. Cookies and local storage

The hosted Virtux website and QR companion pages may use browser local storage for game state and may set strictly necessary session or security cookies, such as cookies used to protect requests or maintain a short-lived web session. These technologies are not used by Jarana for cross-app advertising or behavioral tracking. You can clear or block them through your browser, although doing so may prevent a web page from working correctly.

7. Diagnostics and crash reporting

Jarana uses Sentry to investigate crashes, errors, and technical reliability. Diagnostics are sent automatically in releases configured with Sentry; the app currently has no in-app switch to turn them on or off. A release without a configured diagnostic endpoint does not send these reports.

Reports may include error messages and stack traces, app version and build, operating-system version, device model and technical state, timestamps, crash or session status, and SDK-generated diagnostic or installation identifiers. Limited gameplay context includes the game identifier, phase, app language, round and player counts, selected-pack counts, and filtered numeric or boolean setup options. Technical breadcrumbs record game-session starts, ends, and phase changes so we can understand what happened before an error. This information is used for reliability and troubleshooting, not advertising.

Reports can be cached on the device while it is offline and sent after connectivity returns. Network infrastructure necessarily receives connection information, including an IP address, when reports are delivered. Depending on SDK and service settings, an IP address may also be processed as diagnostic context. Disabling the SDK's default personal-information option does not make every report anonymous.

We disable Sentry's default personal-information collection and do not deliberately attach player names, player photos, hidden roles, custom prompts, or conversation content to gameplay diagnostics. The app does not enable session replay, screenshot attachments, or view-hierarchy attachments. Error messages or automatically recorded technical breadcrumbs can nevertheless contain unexpected personal information, so please do not place sensitive information in profile names or free-text fields.

8. How we use information

We use information described in this policy only as needed to:

• provide the local game experience and remember choices you ask the app to remember;
• display a player photo that you selected and maintain the app’s local data;
• operate, secure, troubleshoot, and improve the optional QR companion pages;
• diagnose crashes or technical failures when diagnostics are enabled; and
• respond to support, privacy, legal, and safety requests.

We do not sell personal information or use the Jarana app for cross-app behavioral advertising.

9. Sharing and service providers

We do not sell your personal information. We may share limited information with providers only when reasonably necessary to operate the service, including:

• mobile-platform and app-store providers that distribute the app and process platform-level diagnostics;
• hosting, security, and infrastructure providers that serve the optional QR pages; and
• Sentry, which processes technical diagnostics for releases configured with crash and error reporting.

Jarana does not currently use an account database or cloud photo storage for the local game experience. Sentry diagnostics do not serve cross-app advertising or create player advertising profiles. If we introduce accounts, synchronization, advertising, product-usage analytics beyond technical diagnostics, or another material data flow, we will update this policy and the relevant store disclosures before or when that feature becomes available.

10. Retention and deletion

Local Jarana data remains on your device until you remove it through an available in-app reset or deletion control, clear the app’s storage, or uninstall the app. Device backups, restore services, and operating-system caches may retain copies according to the settings and policies of your device provider.

For a QR companion page, clear that site’s local storage or browser data to remove its locally saved game state. Technical server logs for the companion pages may be retained for a limited period as reasonably necessary for security, fraud prevention, debugging, legal compliance, and service operation, after which they are deleted or anonymized according to operational practices.

Diagnostics already received by Sentry are retained according to the project's configured retention and applicable service terms. Uninstalling Jarana does not automatically delete reports already received. To request deletion of diagnostic data, contact [email protected] with the approximate time, app version, and device details needed to help locate a report. Because Jarana has no account linking a local player profile to diagnostics, we may be unable to identify a particular report from a player's name alone.

11. Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational safeguards appropriate to the nature of the service, including secure transport for hosted pages, access controls, limited data collection, and keeping the core game loop local. However, no device, browser, network, storage system, or transmission method is completely secure. You are responsible for using a device lock and for deciding whether the information you enter is appropriate for a shared phone.

12. Children and age requirements

Jarana is intended for general audiences and is not designed to collect personal information from children. Because the app can be used by a group on one shared phone and does not currently require an account, we aim to keep collection minimal. A parent or guardian should supervise use by children and should not permit a child to enter personal or sensitive information. Applicable local age, consent, and child-privacy laws always take precedence.

13. Your privacy choices and rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to request access to, correction of, deletion of, restriction of, or objection to the processing of personal information, and to withdraw consent where processing relies on consent. You can also deny or revoke camera access through your device settings and delete local app data using your device controls.

To make a privacy request, contact [email protected] and describe the request and the Jarana feature involved. We may need enough information to verify and safely handle the request. You may also have the right to complain to the data-protection authority in your country or region.

14. International processing

If you use a hosted QR page or diagnostics are enabled, limited technical information may be processed in countries other than the one where you live. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards for international transfers. Local-only game data stays on your device unless you deliberately share it outside the app.

15. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy when Jarana’s features, permissions, providers, or legal obligations change. We will publish the new version at this URL and update the “Last updated” date. Material changes will be highlighted through an appropriate product or store notice where required. Continued use after an updated policy becomes effective means the updated policy applies to future use, subject to any rights you cannot waive.
