Vibesville

Privacy Policy

Effective 7 November 2026 · Applies to the Vibesville game for Android, version 1.0 and later, and to this website.

The short version

Who we are

Vibesville is made by DK Development ("we", "us"). If you have any questions about this policy or your information, email us at dkdevelopment-games@outlook.com.

Information stored on your device

To play, the game saves these on your device only. They're never sent to us:

Uninstalling the game, or clearing its storage in Android's settings, deletes all of it. We can't recover it for you, because we never have a copy.

Feedback you send

Settings has a feedback form. Nothing is sent unless you type a message and tap Send. When you do, the game sends the following over an encrypted (HTTPS) connection to our feedback server:

WhatWhy
Your message (up to 2,000 characters)So we can read your feedback.
The game's name and version, and the platform (e.g. Android)To know which version the feedback is about.
Your device's model name (e.g. "Pixel 7") and its language and region setting (e.g. "en_AU")To spot problems that only happen on some devices or languages.
The date and time you sent itTo put feedback in order.
A few facts about your current town: its island number and layout, how many buildings and natural props it has, its vibe and vibe per tick, the Great Lantern's stage and how many quests you've finishedTo understand where you were in the game.

The game doesn't send your name, email, account, contacts, location, advertising ID or any other identifier with your feedback. Please don't include personal details in your message.

As with any internet connection, our server can see the IP address your feedback comes from. Our server logs keep it for 7 days for security, and it isn't linked to your feedback.

We use feedback only to understand and improve Vibesville. We keep it for 1 year and then delete it. We don't sell it, and we don't share it with anyone except the service providers who host our feedback server on our behalf.

In-app purchase

"Send good vibes" is an optional tip that changes nothing in the game. Purchases are made through Google Play and are covered by Google's Privacy Policy. Google handles your payment details. The game only receives confirmation that the purchase went through, so it can say thank you, and it doesn't send that anywhere.

What Vibesville doesn't do

The game asks Android for internet access only, to send feedback and to talk to Google Play for the tip.

Children

Vibesville isn't directed at children under 13. Because it has no accounts, ads or tracking, it doesn't knowingly collect personal information from children. If you're a parent and think your child has sent us personal information in a feedback message, contact us and we'll delete it.

Your choices and rights

Depending on where you live, you may have other rights over your information, such as under the Australian Privacy Principles or the GDPR. Contact us to use them.

This website

This page and the Vibesville home page use Google Analytics to see how many people visit and which pages they read. Google Analytics uses cookies and receives details such as the pages you view, your browser and device type, and your approximate location from your IP address. We only look at the totals and don't use them to identify you.

Google processes this under Google's Privacy Policy. To opt out, block cookies for this site or install the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.

None of this applies to the game. Nothing the game does is sent to Google Analytics.

Changes to this policy

If we change how Vibesville handles information, we'll update this page and its effective date before the change reaches the game.

Google Play Data safety answers

For the developer: how Vibesville 1.0 maps onto Google Play Console's Data safety form. It's kept here so the form and this policy stay in step.
