Effective Date: July 23, 2026
Welcome to Chomp Champ! This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our mobile application Chomp Champ (the "App"). Please read this Privacy Policy carefully. By using the App, you consent to the data practices described in this policy.
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.
Information We Collect
Information Collected Automatically
When you use our App, we may collect certain information automatically, including:
- Device Information: We may collect limited information about your mobile device, including device type and operating system version.
- Usage Data: We may collect information about how you use the App, including gameplay progress, current level, best streak, high-streak attempt count, training completion, leaderboard activity, battle participation, feature usage, and ad-related interactions.
- Performance Data: We may collect information about how the App performs, including crash information, app errors, and other diagnostic data.
- Advertising Data: When ads are shown through Google AdMob, AdMob may collect and process technical, device, and usage information related to ad delivery, measurement, and fraud prevention.
Camera and Face-Tracking Information
Chomp Champ uses your device's front-facing camera and Apple's ARKit face tracking features to power gameplay and AR effects in real time.
Chomp Champ processes ARKit face-tracking information, including:
- Face position and pose
- Face mesh geometry used for AR alignment
- Head movement and yaw
- Mouth position
- Jaw opening and closing
- Mouth-pucker measurements
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.
