潮汐小馆：合成与故事 · 隐私政策
适用版本：免费版 1.3.0 起。更新日期：2026-10-06。
《潮汐小馆：合成与故事》不设开发者账号，也没有广告、行为分析或自建游戏服务器。游戏在设备上保存进度；可用时还会通过你自己的 Apple iCloud 账号同步游戏进度。自愿使用的购买、好友周榜和提醒功能会用到 Apple 的 App Store、Game Center 和本地通知服务。开发者不会要求你的 Apple 账号密码或支付资料。
游戏进度与 iCloud
游戏在设备上保存棋盘、物品、金币、体力、剧情（含第二季章节与对话里的选择）和翻新进度、潮汐季活动（收藏册、季票、周末集市、本周主活动）、熟客好感、每日小目标、自己的周榜进度，以及购买权益和防止重复发货所需的记录。活动日历写在 App 里，不从网络下载。游戏会保留本地备份，以便存档受损时尝试恢复。
在正式发布版中，只要设备有可用的 iCloud 账号，游戏会自动使用 Apple 的 iCloud 键值存储，在使用同一 Apple 账号的设备间同步游戏进度；游戏内没有单独的同步开关。为防止换设备后同一笔内购重复发货，同步存档还包含交易号经带应用专用前缀的 SHA-256 处理得到的指纹、对应商品 ID 和购买时间，以及已撤销交易的指纹与一次性商品购买标记。这些是假名化购买记录，可能反映购买历史，并非匿名数据。原始 Apple 交易号与会员权益标志留在本机；每台设备会向 App Store 重新核对会员权益。iCloud 的保存与传输由 Apple 的服务和你的系统设置管理；本游戏不经营单独的云账号或服务器，也不会获得你的 Apple 账号密码。没有 iCloud 或无法联网时，你仍可在当前设备继续主线游戏；跨设备同步要等服务恢复后才可能完成。
游戏内重置会开启新的存档进度；若你在多台设备上游玩，重置后的进度可能同步到其他设备。删除 App 不会直接清除已同步到 iCloud 的存档。在换设备或清理旧设备前，请先确认新设备上已出现正确进度。
Game Center 好友周榜
Game Center 由 Apple 提供，使用它是自愿的。登录并允许所需权限后，游戏会把你本周接待的顾客数量提交到 Apple 的排行榜，并从 Game Center 读取你和好友的榜单资料，用于显示名次与发放游戏内奖励。游戏不会把好友名单另存进本地存档，也不会建立自己的好友服务器。不登录 Game Center 仍可玩主线。
App 内购买
贝壳币、体力、开张礼包和一次性小馆会员由 Apple App Store 处理付款。开发者不会收到你的完整付款卡资料。为发放商品、避免重复发货、恢复会员和处理撤销或退款，游戏会在本机存档中记录购买权益与 Apple 交易识别信息。原始交易号不会进入 iCloud；上述交易指纹、商品 ID、购买时间和一次性商品标记会随游戏进度同步，以供其他设备防止重复发货。消耗型商品用完后不能通过“恢复购买”重新获得；小馆会员可按 Apple 的购买记录恢复。早期付费下载版的购买资格也由 Apple 的签名交易记录核对。
本地通知
体力或生成器回满、第二季新一章更新、周末集市快收摊的提醒都是自愿开启的本地通知。游戏会在合适的时候问一次是否需要提醒，你也可以在设置里随时开关；只有在你允许 iOS 通知权限后，设备才会安排这些提醒；游戏不使用远程推送，不因提醒向开发者发送游玩数据。你可在 iPhone 的系统通知设置中关闭提醒。
联系支持与政策变更
如果你主动发邮件给技术支持，开发者会收到你提供的邮箱、问题说明和附件，仅用于处理你的请求。这不属于游戏自动收集的游玩数据。请不要发送 Apple 账号密码、付款资料或其他无关敏感信息。
如游戏的数据处理方式有实质变化，开发者会更新本政策以及 App Store 中的 App 隐私说明。隐私问题请使用现有公开技术支持页列出的联系邮箱：baicen.j@outlook.com。
Tide Bistro: Seaside Merge — Privacy Policy
Applies to: free edition, version 1.3.0 and later. Last updated: 2026-10-06.
Tide Bistro does not require a developer account and has no ads, behavioral analytics, or developer-operated game server. Progress is saved on your device and, when available, synced through your own Apple iCloud account. Optional purchases, the friends leaderboard, and reminders use Apple's App Store, Game Center, and local notification services. We never ask for your Apple Account password or payment card details.
Game saves and iCloud
The game saves your board, items, coins, energy, story progress (including Season 2 chapters and the choices you make in conversations), renovation progress, Tide Season event progress (album, season pass, Weekend Market, weekly events), regulars' hearts, daily goals, your own weekly score, and the records needed to preserve purchase entitlements and prevent duplicate delivery. The event calendar is built into the app and is not downloaded from the internet. Local backups help the game recover from a damaged save.
In the release build, the game automatically uses Apple's iCloud key-value store to sync game progress between devices using the same Apple Account when an iCloud account is available. There is no separate in-game sync switch. To prevent an in-app purchase from being delivered twice after a device change, the synced save also includes an app-scoped SHA-256 fingerprint of each transaction identifier, its product ID and purchase time, fingerprints of revoked transactions, and one-time purchase markers. These are pseudonymous purchase records that may reveal purchase history; they are not anonymous. Raw Apple transaction identifiers and membership entitlement flags stay in the local save. Each device checks membership entitlements with the App Store again. Apple and your device settings manage iCloud storage and transfer. The game does not run a separate cloud account or server and does not receive your Apple Account password. You can continue the main story on the current device when iCloud or the internet is unavailable; syncing across devices may resume later.
Resetting the game starts a new save; if you play on multiple devices, the new progress may sync to your other devices. Deleting the app does not directly erase a save already synchronized to iCloud. Before replacing or clearing an old device, confirm that the correct progress is visible on the new one.
Game Center friends leaderboard
Game Center is provided by Apple and is optional. If you sign in and grant the required permission, the game submits the number of customers you served this week to Apple's leaderboard and reads your and your friends' leaderboard details to show rankings and award in-game rewards. The game does not save your friends list in its local save or operate a separate friends server. You can play the main story without Game Center.
In-app purchases
Shells, energy, the Opening Day Pack, and the one-time Bistro Membership are paid for through Apple's App Store. We do not receive your full payment card details. The game records purchase entitlements and Apple transaction identifiers in its local save to deliver items, prevent duplicates, restore membership, and handle revocations or refunds. Raw transaction identifiers are excluded from iCloud; the fingerprints, product IDs, purchase times, and one-time purchase markers described above sync with game progress to prevent duplicate delivery on another device. Used consumable items cannot be recovered with Restore Purchases; membership can be restored from Apple's purchase history. Eligibility for the earlier paid-edition membership gift is also checked against Apple's signed app transaction.
Local notifications
Reminders that energy or a generator has recovered, that a new Season 2 chapter has arrived, or that the Weekend Market is about to close are optional local notifications. The game may ask once at a suitable moment whether you want reminders, and you can switch them on or off in Settings at any time. The device schedules them only after you allow iOS notification permission. The game does not use remote push notifications or send play data to the developer for reminders. You can turn reminders off in iPhone notification settings.
Contact and changes
If you email support, the developer receives the email address, explanation, and attachments you choose to send, solely to respond to your request. The game does not automatically collect that support content. Please do not send Apple Account passwords, payment details, or unrelated sensitive information.
If the game's data practices materially change, this policy and the App Store privacy responses will be updated. For privacy questions, use the contact email already shown on the public support page: baicen.j@outlook.com.
