🥔 Privacy Policy

TL;DR - We Don't Care About Your Data

Let's be honest: we're making a silly potato game, not building a surveillance empire. We access what Reddit allows us to access, we use it to make potatoes bounce around, and that's it. We're not selling your data, analyzing your browsing habits, or trying to figure out what you had for breakfast.

What This App Is

Potato Passer is a Reddit-based game that operates entirely within the Reddit ecosystem. We're basically a fancy bot that helps you pass digital potatoes to other Reddit users. Think of us as the digital equivalent of hot potato, but with more explosions and less actual heat.

What Data We Access

Through Reddit's API, we can access:

• Your Reddit username - So we know who's passing what potato to whom
• Your comments - Only the ones where you're playing our game (we're not reading your deep thoughts about cats)
• Public post information - To know where potatoes are being passed
• Your participation in r/PotatoPass - Game stats, potato history, and your legendary potato-passing achievements

Important: We can only see what Reddit's API allows us to see, and only what you've made public on Reddit. We're not hackers, we're potato enthusiasts.

What We Do With Your Data

Here's our extremely sophisticated data usage strategy:

• Make the game work - Track potato ownership, game states, and scores
• Generate potato chaos - Create random potato characteristics and behaviors
• Keep score - Because what's the point of a game without bragging rights?
• Send you potatoes - The whole point of the game

What we DON'T do:

• Sell your data (who would buy potato game data anyway?)
• Track you outside of Reddit
• Analyze your behavior for advertising
• Share your information with third parties
• Store unnecessary personal information
• Care about anything other than potato-related activities

Data Storage and Security

We store minimal game data needed to make Potato Passer function:

• Game state information (who has which potato)
• Potato characteristics and timers
• Basic game statistics and scores
• Your Reddit username (for game attribution)

We use reasonable security measures to protect this data, though let's be real - it's potato game data, not nuclear launch codes. We follow standard industry practices for data protection.

Reddit's Role

This game operates entirely through Reddit's platform. Reddit has their own privacy policy that governs how they handle your data. We're subject to Reddit's API terms and can only access data that Reddit explicitly allows third-party applications to access.

By playing Potato Passer, you're also subject to Reddit's Privacy Policy and User Agreement.

Your Rights

You have the right to:

• Stop playing anytime - Just stop commenting in the game, your choice
• Delete your game data - Contact us and we'll remove your potato-related information
• Know what data we have - Ask us and we'll tell you (spoiler: it's probably just potato stuff)
• Correct inaccurate data - Though if your potato exploded, that's unfortunately permanent

Third-Party Services

We may use third-party services to help run the game (like hosting services), but we don't share personal data with them beyond what's necessary for basic functionality. Any third-party services we use are required to protect your data appropriately.

Changes to This Policy

If we need to update this privacy policy, we'll post the changes here and update the "last updated" date. We'll also announce major changes in r/PotatoPass because that's where the potato action happens.

Contact Us

Questions about privacy? Concerns about how we handle your potato data? Want to request data deletion? Contact us through:

• Reddit: Message the moderators at r/PotatoPass
• Create a post in r/PotatoPass with your question

We'll respond as quickly as possible, though our response time may depend on how many potatoes are currently exploding.

Legal Compliance

This privacy policy is designed to comply with applicable privacy laws including GDPR, CCPA, and other relevant regulations. We believe in being transparent about our data practices, even for a silly potato game.
