隐私说明
本隐私说明适用于止焉工作室（ZhiYanStudio，以下简称“我们”）开发并提供的《拾光拼途》（Time Collage: Focus Puzzle）及其 Steam Demo 版本。
本说明用于向您介绍我们如何处理与游戏运行、存档、成就、社区功能及用户支持相关的信息。
Demo 提供本地拼图和专注功能，使用 Steam 账号识别、成就与云存档。Steam Workshop 社区、活动领取和内容购买属于正式版功能，相关说明在这些功能开放后适用；Demo 不提供这些功能。
1. Steam 账号与本地数据
游戏通过 Steam 读取您的 Steam ID 和运行资格信息，用于识别当前账号、关联本地存档，并确认您可以使用的游戏版本。
拼图进度、专注记录、旅程、成就进度、游戏设置，以及任务、笔记和便签等辅助工具资料，保存在您的本机设备中。我们不运营用于接收这些游玩记录的自建服务器，也不要求您注册独立的游戏账号。
我们不索取您的 Steam 密码、Steam 身份验证票据或银行卡信息。Steam 账号、游戏许可、平台成就及其他 Steam 平台服务由 Valve 根据其隐私政策处理。
2. Steam Cloud 云存档
启用 Steam Cloud 后，Steam 会同步本游戏配置范围内的账号设置和游戏存档，包括拼图进度、专注记录、旅程及任务、笔记、便签等辅助工具资料。拼图图片、视频、Workshop 安装文件、缩略图和播放缓存不属于本游戏的云存档同步范围。
您可以通过 Steam 客户端管理云存档设置。请注意，关闭 Steam Cloud 同步不会自动删除已经保存在 Steam 云端的数据；删除本地存档或卸载游戏，也不等于删除 Steam 保存的数据。
如需管理或删除 Steam 云端数据，请通过 Steam 的相关功能及支持渠道处理。
3. 正式版的内容、购买与社区功能
3.1 工坊内容
正式版通过 Steam Workshop 获取官方及社区拼图。游戏会读取 Steam 提供的作品信息、订阅状态及操作结果，并在本机保存内容选用情况和必要的操作记录，用于提供相应的游戏功能。
3.2 购买与活动领取
正式版通过 Steam Inventory 确认您是否拥有活动内容或付费扩展的使用资格。游戏会读取 Steam 提供的库存信息及操作结果，并在本机保存相关状态和必要的操作记录，用于提供相应内容。
所有购买与付款均通过 Steam 完成，支付信息由 Steam 处理。我们不收集或保存您的银行卡信息及其他付款所需的支付资料。
3.3 发布作品与社区管理
当您向 Steam Workshop 发布作品时，所选图片、可选视频、预览图、标题、描述和作品资料会上传到 Steam，并与您的 Steam 发布身份关联。
作品的公开范围由您设置。公开作品可能被其他用户浏览、订阅或下载。即使作品设置为非公开或私密，具有相应权限的管理人员仍可能访问并处理相关内容。
社区作品由作者自行发布，不经过开发者逐件事前审核。我们可能在收到举报或发现违规内容后，根据实际情况进行处理，但不承诺即时完成。订阅、评论、举报及作品管理使用 Steam 的相应功能。请确保您有权上传和分享相关内容，并避免在作品或说明中包含不希望公开的个人信息。
4. 游戏统计与数据使用
在正式版中使用工坊作品时，游戏会通过 Steam 记录作品使用时长和会话等平台统计。开发者可查看 Steam 提供的作品浏览量、订阅量、收藏、评价及使用情况汇总。
作品使用统计不代表您的有效专注时长或精确拼图完成记录。游戏不会为此向开发者上传您的专注记录、拼图块位置或旅程明细。
5. 联系支持
如果您通过邮件联系我们，我们会处理您主动提供的邮箱地址、消息内容和附件，用于回复咨询、排查技术问题、处理售后请求或申诉。
请只提供与问题有关的信息，不要发送 Steam 密码、Steam 身份验证票据或银行卡等支付资料。我们不会出售这些资料，也不会将其用于定向广告。
6. 网站访问与第三方服务
本隐私说明网页由 Vercel 托管，域名 DNS 服务由 Cloudflare 提供。访问网页或解析域名时，相应服务商可能处理 IP 地址、请求时间及必要的网络信息。
这两项服务用于提供网页访问和域名解析，不代表我们使用 Cloudflare 保存游戏领取记录或托管拼图素材。本网页未加入广告或访问分析脚本。
相关服务的隐私政策：
这些服务可能使用不同地区的基础设施。
7. 数据保存与删除
游戏本地数据保存在您的设备中。Steam 平台数据由 Steam 按其规则保存。
我们收到的客服资料仅在处理相关问题及履行适用义务所需期间保留。
如果您希望访问、更正或删除通过客服渠道提供给我们的资料，请联系 Timecollage@163.com。我们可能需要验证您的身份，以保护您的信息安全。
对于 Steam 保存的账号、交易、库存、云存档及社区内容，请通过 Steam 的隐私设置、作品管理工具或客服渠道处理。这些数据由 Steam 管理，我们无法代替 Steam 删除全部平台数据。
8. 离线功能
在 Steam 离线模式下，如果 Steam 仍能确认当前账号及运行资格，您可以使用已完整安装在本机的内置内容。正式版中已获得使用资格、且素材已完整保存在本机的内容，也可按游戏规则离线使用。
在线浏览、活动领取、内容购买、订阅、下载、更新和作品上传需要连接 Steam。Steam 平台成就提交与云存档同步也需要连接 Steam。
9. 说明更新
游戏功能或信息处理方式发生变化时，我们会更新本隐私说明，并在本页面标注最新更新日期。未正式开放的功能不会仅因出现在本说明中而提前启用。
Privacy Notice
This privacy notice applies to Time Collage: Focus Puzzle and its Steam Demo, developed and provided by 止焉工作室 / ZhiYanStudio (“we”).
It explains how we handle information related to gameplay, saves, achievements, community features, and support.
The Demo offers local puzzles and focus tools, using Steam for account identification, achievements, and cloud saves. Steam Workshop community features, promotional claims, and content purchases are features of the full game. The relevant sections apply when those features become available; they are not included in the Demo.
1. Your Steam account and local data
The game reads your Steam ID and app access eligibility through Steam to identify your current account, associate it with your local saves, and confirm which edition you can use.
Puzzle progress, focus records, your journey, achievement progress, game settings, and tool data such as tasks, notes, and sticky notes are stored on your device. We do not operate our own server to receive these play records or require you to register a separate game account.
We do not ask you to provide your Steam password, Steam authentication tickets, or payment-card details. Valve handles Steam accounts, game licenses, platform achievements, and other Steam services under its privacy policy.
2. Steam Cloud saves
When you enable Steam Cloud, Steam synchronizes the account settings and game saves covered by this game's configuration, including puzzle progress, focus records, your journey, and tool data such as tasks, notes, and sticky notes. Puzzle images, videos, Workshop installation files, thumbnails, and playback caches are not included in this game's cloud-save rules.
You can manage cloud-save settings in the Steam client. Please note that turning Steam Cloud off does not automatically delete data already stored in Steam's cloud. Deleting local saves or uninstalling the game does not mean that data held by Steam has been deleted.
To manage or delete Steam Cloud data, use Steam's tools and support channels.
3. Full-game content, purchases, and community features
3.1 Workshop content
The full game uses Steam Workshop to obtain official and community puzzles. The game reads item details, subscription status, and operation results supplied by Steam. It stores information about your selected content and necessary operation records on your device to provide these features.
3.2 Purchases and promotional claims
The full game uses Steam Inventory to confirm whether you are entitled to use promotional content or paid expansions. The game reads inventory information and operation results supplied by Steam, and stores the relevant status and necessary operation records on your device to provide that content.
All purchases and payments take place through Steam, which handles payment information. We do not collect or store your payment-card details or other information required to make a payment.
3.3 Publishing and community moderation
When you publish an item to Steam Workshop, your selected image, optional video, preview, title, description, and item details are uploaded to Steam and associated with your Steam publishing identity.
You choose who can see your items. Public items may be viewed, subscribed to, or downloaded by other users. Even if an item is unlisted or private, authorized administrators may still access it for management and moderation.
Community creators publish their own items without individual pre-publication review by the developer. We may review and moderate content after receiving reports or identifying violations, but do not promise immediate action. Subscriptions, comments, reports, and item management use Steam's features. Please make sure you have the right to upload and share the content, and avoid including personal information you do not want to disclose in the item or its description.
4. Game statistics and data use
When you use Workshop content in the full game, the game records item usage through Steam, including playtime and sessions. The developer can view item view counts, subscription counts, favorites, ratings, and usage summaries provided by Steam.
Item usage statistics do not represent your effective focus time or exact puzzle-completion records. The game does not upload your focus records, puzzle-piece positions, or journey details to the developer for these statistics.
5. Support
If you email us, we process the email address, message, and attachments you choose to provide so we can answer your questions, investigate technical issues, or handle support requests and appeals.
Please send only information relevant to your request. Do not send Steam passwords, Steam authentication tickets, or payment information such as card details. We do not sell this information or use it for targeted advertising.
6. Website visits and third-party services
This privacy notice page is hosted by Vercel, with domain DNS provided by Cloudflare. When you visit the page or resolve its domain, the relevant providers may process IP addresses, request times, and necessary network information.
These services provide website access and domain name resolution. They do not mean that we use Cloudflare to store game claim records or host puzzle content. This page contains no advertising or analytics scripts.
Privacy policies for the relevant services:
These services may use infrastructure in different regions.
7. Data retention and deletion
Local game data remains on your device. Steam retains platform data under its own policies.
We retain support correspondence only as needed to handle the relevant matters and meet applicable obligations.
To request access, correction, or deletion of information you provided through our support channel, contact Timecollage@163.com. We may need to verify your identity to keep your information secure.
For account, transaction, inventory, cloud-save, and community data held by Steam, use Steam's privacy settings, item management tools, or support channels. Steam manages this data; we cannot delete all platform data on its behalf.
8. Offline features
In Steam Offline Mode, if Steam can still identify your account and confirm that you can run the game, you can use built-in content that is fully installed on your device. In the full game, content you are entitled to use can also be used offline under the game's rules if all its files are available locally.
Online browsing, promotional claims, content purchases, subscriptions, downloads, updates, and item uploads require a connection to Steam. Submitting Steam platform achievements and synchronizing cloud saves also require a connection to Steam.
9. Updates
When game features or data handling change, we will update this privacy notice and show the latest revision date on this page. Features that have not been released will not become available simply because they are described here.
