Privacy Policy

Last updated: 23rd January, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Cognideck (“we,” “our,” or “us”) collects, uses, and protects your information when you use our web and mobile application (the “Apps”).

1. Overview

Cognideck developed Retro8, a retro gaming application that uses a virtual machine emulator to allow users to run compatible game software on their mobile device. We value your privacy and are committed to transparency and data minimization.

2. Information We Collect

a. Information You Provide

We do not require you to create an account or provide personal information to use the App.

If you contact us (e.g., via email for support), we may collect:

• Your email address
• The content of your message

b. Automatically Collected Information

The App may collect limited, non-personal technical data, such as:

• Device type and operating system version
• App version
• Crash logs or error reports

This data is used only to improve app stability and performance.

c. Game Files and Content

• Game ROMs, BIOS files, and save data remain entirely on your device
• We do not upload, scan, or access any of your files
• We do not verify ownership or legality of game content

3. How We Use Information

We use collected information solely to:

• Maintain and improve app functionality
• Diagnose crashes and technical issues
• Respond to user support requests

We do not use your data for advertising or profiling.

4. Data Sharing

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with third parties.

Limited data (such as anonymized crash logs) may be processed by trusted service providers (e.g., app analytics or crash reporting tools) strictly for operational purposes.

5. Advertising and Analytics

The App does not display ads and does not use third-party analytics.

6. Data Retention

We retain only the minimum data necessary:

• Support communications are retained only as long as needed to resolve the issue
• Technical logs may be retained for a limited time for debugging purposes

7. Children’s Privacy

The App is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us so we can delete it.

8. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the right to:

• Access the data we hold about you
• Request deletion of your data
• Object to or restrict certain processing

You can exercise these rights by contacting us.

9. Security

We take reasonable measures to protect information from unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. However, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted within the App or on our website, and the “Last updated” date will be revised.
