Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 24, 2026

Maple Game Studio ("we," "us," or "our") operates What's the LINK?, a Facebook Instant Game. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding your data.

1. Information We Collect

Our game runs on the Facebook Instant Games platform using Meta's Network Enabled Zero Permissions (NEZP) system. Under NEZP, we receive limited data from Meta:

Player ID: A unique, game-specific identifier assigned by Facebook. This is not your Facebook user ID and cannot be used to identify you personally.

Game Progress: Your puzzle completion history, scores, streaks, settings, and gameplay statistics. This data is stored locally on your device and may be synced to Facebook's cloud storage via the Instant Games SDK to enable cross-device play.

We do not collect your name, email address, profile picture, friend list, or any other personally identifiable information. Under NEZP, social features like names and profile pictures are rendered by Meta's overlay system and are never shared with us.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the data described above solely to:

Provide the game experience — saving your progress, maintaining your streak, tracking scores, and syncing game data across devices.

Improve the game — understanding aggregate gameplay patterns to improve puzzle design, difficulty balancing, and game features. We do not analyze individual player data for this purpose.

3. Advertising

Our game displays ads through Meta's Audience Network. We do not control or have access to any data collected by the Audience Network. Ad targeting and data collection are governed by Meta's Privacy Policy.

4. Data Sharing

We do not sell, trade, or share your data with any third parties. The only data that exists outside your device is your game progress stored on Facebook's servers through the Instant Games SDK, which is governed by Meta's data policies.

5. Data Storage and Security

Game progress is stored locally on your device via browser storage and optionally synced to Facebook's cloud storage through the Instant Games SDK. We do not operate our own servers or databases that store player data.

6. Children's Privacy

Our game is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will take steps to delete such information.

7. Your Rights

You have the right to:

Delete your data — See our Data Deletion page for instructions on how to remove all game data associated with your account.

Stop playing — Simply stop opening the game. We do not send emails or contact you outside of the Facebook platform.

Manage Facebook permissions — Visit your Facebook App Settings to review or remove the game's access to your account.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "last updated" date. Continued use of the game after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.

9. Contact Us

Data Deletion

How to delete your game data

Maple Game Studio does not store your personal data on our own servers. Your game progress is stored locally on your device and may be synced to Facebook's cloud storage through the Instant Games platform.

To completely remove all data associated with What's the LINK?, follow these steps:

Find What's the LINK? in your list of apps
Click Remove to revoke the game's access to your account
Check the box that says "Delete all posts, photos, and videos on Facebook that What's the LINK? may have published on your behalf"
Click Remove to confirm

This will remove the game from your Facebook account and delete any cloud-saved game data. Local data stored in your browser can be cleared through your browser's settings by clearing site data for Facebook.

Processing Time

Data deletion through Facebook is processed immediately upon removal of the app. There is no additional waiting period as we do not maintain our own copies of your data.
