Introduction

Chomp Champ is an augmented-reality game that uses the device's front-facing camera to detect mouth and head movements during gameplay. Players catch matching food, dodge non-matching food, build streaks, compete on leaderboards, and can participate in multiplayer battles through Game Center. The App also includes optional sharing features and advertising provided through Google AdMob.

This information is used only for gameplay, including catching matching food, dodging mismatched food, detecting head movement, and displaying AR effects.

The front-facing camera is required for AR gameplay. Face tracking and mouth movement data are used only while the AR session is active.

Chomp Champ does not use face tracking for facial recognition, identity verification, biometric identification, profiling, advertising, or analytics.

Face-tracking data and live camera frames are processed on the device in real time. They are not uploaded to Chomp Champ servers, stored in a cloud database, or shared with advertisers, Game Center, analytics providers, or other players.

Face-tracking values remain in temporary memory only during the active AR session and are discarded afterward.
