Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 8, 2026
~5 min read

Your privacy matters. This policy explains what data Mohamad Akkad (moakkad.dev) collects through this website and the iOS apps published under his personal Apple Developer account, how it's used, and what choices you have. This site is operated by a solo developer — there are no corporations, no data brokers, and no advertising networks behind it.

01

Information We Collect

This website and associated apps may collect limited information in the following categories:

Contact form submissions
Google Analytics (page views, sessions)
Device & browser type
General location (country, region & city)

Google Analytics collects data such as pages visited, time on page, referring URL, browser type, device type, and approximate location (country/city). This data is aggregated and anonymised — it cannot be used to identify you personally. IP addresses are anonymised before storage.

We do not collect names, precise locations, payment details, or any personally identifiable information unless you voluntarily provide it through the contact form.

Our iOS apps (AR Hide and Seek and AR Shadow Tag) use the device camera exclusively via Apple's ARKit framework to render the augmented reality environment — no images or video are ever captured or transmitted. AR Shadow Tag may also collect gameplay data when you opt in to Sign in with Apple, and offers opt-in anonymous error reporting. See Sections 3, 4, and 5 for full details.

02

How We Use Information

Any information collected is used solely to improve the user experience and respond to inquiries. Specifically:

Contact form data is used only to reply to your message. It is never sold, shared, or used for marketing.
Google Analytics data is used to understand which pages are visited, how long visitors stay, and how the site performs. Data is aggregated — no personal profiles are built and IP addresses are anonymised.
App usage data (if any) collected via Apple's frameworks is processed in accordance with Apple's privacy policies and is used only for crash reporting and performance monitoring.
03

In-App Purchases & Local Storage

In-App Purchases are available in some apps published by Mohamad Akkad as optional purchases (such as tips or other digital items). All transactions are processed entirely by Apple via the App Store. Mohamad Akkad does not collect, store, or have access to any payment details, card numbers, or billing information. Purchase history and receipts are managed by Apple in accordance with their Privacy Policy. Purchases are non-refundable except as required by applicable law.

Local Device Storage — The app stores preferences on your device (sound settings, graphics, and session state) using Apple's standard on-device storage (PlayerPrefs). If you play without signing in, this data stays on your device only and is never transmitted. If you sign in with Apple, gameplay progress (score, round, Lumens, cosmetics) is additionally synced to our Supabase backend so it can be restored if you reinstall or switch devices.

04

Data Storage & Security

This is a static website with no backend database. Contact form submissions are processed through Web3Forms and delivered to the site owner's email address. Web3Forms does not permanently store your message and is subject to their own privacy policy. See Web3Forms Privacy Policy.

Reasonable technical measures are in place to protect any data in transit (HTTPS). However, no method of internet transmission is 100% secure. Data is retained only as long as necessary to fulfil the purpose it was collected for.

05

Third-Party Services

This website and the published apps may interact with the following third-party services, each governed by their own privacy policies:

Apple App Store & Apple APIs — App distribution, ARKit, LiDAR. See Apple Privacy Policy.
Google Analytics (GA4) — Used to measure website traffic and user behaviour. Collects anonymised data including pages visited, session duration, device/browser type, and approximate location. Google may process this data on servers outside your country. See Google Privacy Policy. You can opt out via the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Google Fonts — Font delivery on this website. May log your IP to serve font files. See Google Privacy Policy.
Web3Forms — Processes contact form submissions on this website and delivers them to the site owner via email. Your name, email address, and message are transmitted to Web3Forms servers solely for delivery purposes. See Web3Forms Privacy Policy.
Supabase — Backend database used by AR Shadow Tag to store player accounts, leaderboard scores, owned cosmetics, and anonymous error logs. Data is stored on Supabase-managed servers. Row-level security ensures players can only access their own data. See Supabase Privacy Policy.
ElevenLabs — Sound effects in AR Shadow Tag were generated using ElevenLabs AI audio tools. No data is sent to ElevenLabs at runtime — all audio is bundled inside the app. See ElevenLabs Privacy Policy.
GitHub, X (Twitter), LinkedIn — External links only. No data is shared with these platforms unless you choose to visit them.

No advertising networks, tracking pixels, or data brokers are used on this site. Google Analytics is used solely for anonymous traffic analysis — not for advertising or remarketing.
