Privacy policy

Cooking Fortune is operated by Filip Swärdh, a sole trader in Sweden and the controller of personal data described here. Contact paragonaiapp@gmail.com about privacy, support, or your rights.

Your game and account

The game stores progress and settings on your device. When cloud saving is enabled, our server stores a player identifier, your game progress, save versions, and session credentials. This lets us back up your restaurant and restore it on another device.

Google sign-in is optional. If you connect Google, we receive a signed identity token and use its account identifier to link your restaurant. The token can include your name, email address, and profile image; these are not stored in our account database. We do not receive your Google password or request access to Gmail, Drive, contacts, or other Google content.

Purchases

Optional in-app purchases are planned for launch and are not yet available in the development version. When enabled, the app store will process payment. We will use purchase identifiers, product details, and purchase status to verify purchases, deliver items, and handle refunds or restoration. We will not receive your full payment-card details. We will update this policy and the store disclosures before enabling live purchases.

Support and security

If you contact us, we receive your message, email address, and any information you choose to include. Our hosting services process IP addresses and request information to deliver the service and protect it from abuse. The game API temporarily uses IP addresses to limit requests; it does not use them for advertising or precise location tracking.

We use game and account data to provide the service you request, support messages to respond to you, and necessary security data for our legitimate interest in protecting the service. Where processing requires consent, we ask for it and you may withdraw it. There are no ads at launch, and we do not sell personal data or use advertising identifiers.

Service providers

Our backend is hosted by Hetzner. Cloudflare provides domain and DNS services. Google provides optional sign-in and, for Android purchases once available, Google Play billing. Support email is handled through Gmail. Providers may process information in countries outside your country. Contact us for information about the locations and safeguards that apply to your data. Google's own services are also subject to Google's privacy policy.

Retention and deletion

We keep your account and cloud progress until you request deletion or they are no longer needed to provide the service. We retain up to ten earlier save versions for recovery. Routine database backups expire after 14 days; deleted data may remain in those restricted backups until they expire. Support correspondence is kept only as long as needed to resolve the request and any associated dispute. Once purchases are available, transaction records required for tax, accounting, fraud prevention, or legal obligations may be retained for the applicable legal period.

Use Settings → Delete account in the game or our account-deletion page to request deletion. We may need to verify that you own the account. Deleting the app alone does not delete cloud data. Resetting a restaurant is also separate from deleting an account.

Your rights

Depending on your location, you may request access, correction, deletion, restriction, or a portable copy of your data, and object to processing based on legitimate interests. Contact the support email above. We normally respond within one month and will explain any permitted extension. You may complain to your local data protection authority, including Sweden's IMY.

Age and updates

Cooking Fortune is intended for players aged 13 and over. If you believe a child below that age has provided personal data, contact us so we can investigate and remove it where appropriate. We will update this page when our practices change and provide additional notice where required.
