Orchard Privacy Policy

Who we are

Viento Modeling, Simulation & Analysis LLC, operating as Viento Games, provides Orchard, also called Orchard Mobile. This policy covers the game, its optional online profiles and rankings, and Orchard support requests. Contact info@viento-msa.com about privacy or your information. The Viento website and other applications have separate privacy practices.

Local play and children

Orchard is a single-player card game designed for ages six and up. You do not need an online account to play. Local play includes personal best scores, Easy Mode, and settings. The game has no advertising or in-app purchases.

The game starts in local mode. Unity Authentication and Leaderboards are not initialized by startup or ordinary local play. Local scores, preferences, eligibility decisions, and any cached profile credentials are stored on your device. Your operating system may include app data in backups according to your device settings. Store purchases, downloads, and store diagnostics are handled separately by Google or Apple under their policies.

Children and players whose eligibility has not been established can use local play. Orchard does not offer a parental-consent route to online features. A parent or guardian can contact us if they believe a child has supplied personal information or needs help removing an old online account.

Checking eligibility for online features

Before online profiles or rankings are enabled, Orchard asks for country of residence and birth month and year. The check happens on your device. Those answers are discarded after the check; they are not logged, retained as a birth date or country, or sent to Viento or Unity. The device retains the eligibility result, policy version, and your online-feature choice.

Online features are currently offered only to eligible players aged 16 or older who reside in the United States or a European Union member country. Because the check does not ask for a birth day, eligibility starts after the entire threshold birthday month has passed. Eligible players must separately choose to enable online features. Other players can continue playing locally.

Optional online information

When you request online features, Unity Gaming Services processes information needed to authenticate your profile and operate rankings. This includes a generated player identifier, authentication/session information, your chosen profile name, submitted scores, and network information such as IP address. Unity's Leaderboards disclosure also identifies approximate location. Orchard does not request GPS or precise location for these features.

Your profile name and submitted scores are visible to other players through the leaderboards. Use a nickname rather than your real name, email address, birth date, or other personal information. Orchard does not offer player chat or direct messaging.

We use online information to provide the features you request, manage accounts, associate scores with profiles, support account linking, and handle security and support. Unity's service documentation also describes service analytics processing. Orchard does not enable Unity Analytics or advertising packages.

Unity and its service providers process online information to deliver these services. Read Unity's Game Player and App User Privacy Policy, Authentication privacy information, and Leaderboards privacy information. Those policies supplement this Orchard policy; they do not replace it.

Support requests

If you send us an email, we receive your email address, message, and information you include. The game's support actions open an editable draft in your email app. Game-support drafts include app version, device model, and platform; online-support drafts can include your cached player name and ID. Opening the draft does not send the email. Review it before sending. Do not send passwords or birth dates. A parent or guardian should contact support on a child's behalf.

Keeping and deleting information

Online profiles and scores are retained until deleted. Turning off online features, logging out, or uninstalling the game does not delete remote records. Unity's standard account and leaderboard retention can otherwise be indefinite.

Use Settings → Delete Online Account to request deletion of the current online profile and its live scores. The app removes live leaderboard scores before deleting the authentication account. It reports completion only after both steps succeed. Deletion is permanent. Local scores and settings can remain on your device.

For an inaccessible or older account, or to request access, correction, or deletion, email info@viento-msa.com. Include the player ID or nickname if you know it, but no password or birth date. We may need information to verify ownership. Older prerelease accounts can belong to a different service project and require separate handling. We will explain any verification or retention limitations relevant to your request.

Support correspondence is kept to handle the request and necessary follow-up. Information may also need to be retained for an applicable legal obligation or security investigation; any exception must be limited to its purpose.

Security, locations, and your choices

Online service traffic uses HTTPS. Access to administrative account and score deletion is kept out of the game client. No method of storage or transmission is guaranteed secure. Unity and support providers may process information outside your country; their applicable privacy terms describe processing locations and transfer safeguards.

You can continue local play without enabling online features. To stop online participation, return to local play or sign out; separately delete the account if you want retained online records removed. Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, erase, restrict, object to, or obtain a copy of your personal information, and to complain to your local data-protection authority. Contact us to exercise these rights. Where processing relies on consent, you can withdraw it without affecting earlier lawful processing.

Changes

We will update this policy when Orchard's information practices change and identify the effective date of the published version. Material changes affecting online participation will require an appropriate updated notice before they take effect.
