Privacy Policy
The short version: Mackaboo Universe does not collect, store or share any personal information. There are no ads, no accounts, no analytics, no tracking, no chat and no links out of the app. Everything a child makes stays on their device.
Who we are
Mackaboo Universe (“the app”) is a pretend-play space game for children, made by Mack Toys, Inc. This policy covers the app on iPhone, iPad, Android phones, tablets and foldables, and on the web. Mackaboo Universe’s sister games, Mackaboo Worlds and Mackaboo JR, follow the same policy, posted at mackaboo.com/privacy.
What we collect
Nothing. The app does not ask for a name, email address, age, location, photos, contacts or any other personal information, and it contains no third-party code for advertising or analytics. It does not use the camera or microphone. It makes no network connections of its own.
What stays on the device
What a child makes — the critters they design and name, where everything was left, the paint on the walls, the friends they carry from world to world, and the dreams that come true — is saved only on the device, in the app’s own storage (or the browser’s local storage on the web). It is never sent to Mack Toys or anyone else. Deleting the app deletes it.
Purchases
The app offers optional one-time purchases: three packs of worlds (Deep Space, Moons and Mysteries and Nearby Stars, and All of Space with all three) and four add-ons (Space Gear, Galaxy Fur & Star Rooms, Rocket Toys & Space Snacks and Alien Pets, and the Space Kit with all four). Every purchase, and the grown-ups corner where purchases are restored, sits behind a grown-up question. Purchases are handled entirely by the store the app came from (Apple’s App Store, Google Play or the Amazon Appstore) under that store’s own terms and privacy policy; Mack Toys never receives payment details or any information about who bought what. The app asks the store which packs are owned each time it opens and keeps no record of purchases of its own. There are no subscriptions. The web version has no store and makes no purchases.
Folding phones
On a folding phone, the app reads how far the phone is open, and where its fold runs, only to keep buttons off the fold and to play a game of peekaboo when the phone opens. Nothing about it is stored or sent.
Children’s privacy
The app is made for children and is designed to comply with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), GDPR-K and the Apple Kids Category, Google Play Families and Amazon Appstore rules. Because we collect no personal information from anyone, there is no information about a child for a parent to review or delete. If you believe information has reached us anyway, contact us and we will delete it.
Terms of use
On the App Store, the app is licensed to you under Apple’s standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement; Mack Toys does not use a custom license agreement. On Google Play, the Google Play Terms of Service apply.
Changes
If this policy ever changes, the new version will be posted here with a new effective date before the change takes effect. We will never begin collecting personal information from children without first obtaining verifiable parental consent.
