Last Updated: 3/22/2025
This Privacy Policy explains how VR Museum: Blacksmithing Through Time (“the Game”), available on the Meta Horizon Desktop VR App Store and built on Unreal Engine 4 by Dracan Works, LLC (“the Developer”), handles data collection. Most of the data—including account information—is collected directly by Meta through their integrated services. By accessing or using the Game, you agree to the data collection practices described in this policy and to Meta’s own privacy policies regarding data collection.

1. Information Collection Overview
​A. Data Collected by Meta
  • Meta Telemetry: The Game utilizes Meta’s built-in telemetry features, which collect anonymized usage and performance data directly on the Meta platform. This includes session duration, system performance, crash reports, and other technical metrics. Data collected via Meta telemetry is managed and processed by Meta independently of the developer.
  • Account Information and License Delivery: Account details such as your name, email address, and other necessary credentials are handled by Meta. This account information is used exclusively to deliver and manage your game license from the Meta Store.
  • Device & Interaction Data: Meta collects information about your device (e.g., VR hardware identifiers, operating system details, and IP address) as well as your interactions with the Game through their telemetry systems.
B. Data Collected by the Developer
  • User Communications: Any information you provide when contacting support, providing feedback, or participating in promotions is collected by the developer and used solely for communication and support purposes.

2. How Your Data Is Used
A. Uses of Meta-Collected Data
  • Game License and Account Management: Meta uses your account information to verify your identity and deliver the game license through the Meta Horizon Store. This process ensures that only authorized users can access the Game.
  • Performance and Analytics: Meta-collected data is used to monitor game performance, optimize system stability, and enhance the overall user experience.
  • System Diagnostics: Anonymized data such as error logs and crash reports is used to diagnose technical issues and inform future updates and optimizations.
For details on how Meta uses the data it collects, please refer to Meta’s own privacy policies.

3. Third-Party Data Sharing
A. Meta Data Collection
  • Direct Management by Meta: Data collected via Meta telemetry, including account information for license delivery, is managed solely by Meta and is subject to Meta’s privacy practices. The developer does not have direct access to or control over this data.

B. Developer Data Sharing

4. Data Security and Retention
  • Data Security: Both Meta and the developer implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your data against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no method of electronic storage or transmission is completely secure.
  • Data Retention: The developer retains any directly provided personal information only as long as necessary to fulfill its purposes. Data collected by Meta is retained in accordance with Meta’s own policies.

5. Your Rights and Choices
  • Access and Update: For personal data collected by the developer, you have the right to access, correct, or update your information.
