This Privacy Policy describes how vGv Studio ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and discloses information when you use our website (vgvstudio.com), including browsing our posts and pages, and when you purchase one of our apps directly through the Site (collectively, the "Site").
Our apps are currently made available for direct purchase and download from this Site. We may also distribute some apps through Google Play in the future — where that's the case, that app will have its own dedicated, app-specific Privacy Policy (linked from its Google Play Store listing) describing exactly what that app collects and why. This page does not replace those.
If you do not agree with this policy, please do not use our Site.
