<h2>Appendix A — App-specific disclosures</h2>
<p>Sections 1–15 describe what Zero State may collect across all of its products. Individual
apps often collect far less, and several collect nothing at all. This appendix states what
each released app actually does. <strong>Where an app is listed below, the entry governs for
that app</strong> and matches the App Privacy label on its App Store product page.</p>

<h3>Hexwire (iOS)</h3>
<p><strong>Data collected: none.</strong> Hexwire is a single-player offline game. It makes no
network connection, has no accounts or sign-in, no in-app purchases, no advertising or
tracking identifiers, and no analytics, attribution, or crash-reporting SDKs. Save data,
settings, and mission progression are stored on your device and never transmitted. Deleting
the app removes them.</p>
<p>Hexwire's music and sound effects were generated during development using ElevenLabs
under a paid commercial licence held by Zero State. They ship as fixed files inside the app.
<strong>Hexwire performs no AI processing while you play</strong> — it does not contact
ElevenLabs or any other AI service, and no information about you is sent to any AI provider.
Zero State holds all rights necessary to use and distribute this content.</p>

<h3>Surveillance Survivor (iOS)</h3>
<p><strong>Data collected: none.</strong> Gameplay is local to your device. No accounts, no
tracking identifiers, and no third-party analytics. As with Hexwire, audio was generated
during development and is bundled as static files; the app performs no AI processing at
runtime.</p>

<h3>Waykin (iOS)</h3>
<p>Waykin uses device sensors to do its job, and that data stays on your device:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Location</strong> — only while an active walk is running and only with your
permission, to measure distance, pace, and route progress. It is not used for advertising,
not sold, and not tracked in the background when you are not walking.</li>
<li><strong>Camera</strong> — only during an active AR session, to place the companion in
the world. Frames are used live and are not stored or uploaded.</li>
<li><strong>Health data</strong> — optional. Read-only, on-device enrichment during a walk.
Waykin never requires it, and Demo Mode never asks for it.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>None of this is transmitted to Zero State.</strong> Waykin has no remote analytics
and no upload path. Map search and routing are handled by Apple's services under Apple's
own privacy terms. You can deny any permission and still use the app, including a fully
offline Demo Mode.</p>

<h3>Beta and TestFlight builds</h3>
<p>If you use a pre-release build through <strong>TestFlight</strong>, Apple may collect crash
logs, device information, and any feedback you submit, and may share it with us as the
developer. That collection is governed by
<a href="https://www.apple.com/legal/privacy/" rel="noopener">Apple's Privacy Policy</a>
rather than this one. It is Apple's collection, not ours, and it does not change what the
apps themselves collect.</p>

<h3>If an app is not listed here</h3>
<p>Sections 1–15 apply. If you are unsure what a specific app collects, ask us at
<a href="mailto:zer0state@zer0state.com">zer0state@zer0state.com</a> and we will tell you.</p>
