Primal Apes Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 4, 2026

Primal Apes is a virtual reality game for Meta Quest made by Ape Games Free ("we", "us"). This policy explains what information the game uses, why, who handles it and how long it is kept. It covers solo play and online play.

Summary

Primal Apes has no accounts, no real names or email addresses, no voice or text chat, no ads, no analytics and no tracking. Online play uses an anonymous player ID and a gorilla name the game makes up for you. Online worlds are saved on Unity's servers so your base is still there next time. We never sell your information.

What stays on your headset

The game saves these only on your headset, in the game's private storage: your comfort settings (floor reach and hand angle), your gorilla name and a random player number, your solo worlds, and the sign-in token used for online play. Uninstalling the game deletes them.

Online play: what we use and why

When you join an online world (US #1 or US 2X #1), the game uses Unity Gaming Services, run by Unity Technologies, to sign you in, find the world and connect you to the other players. This uses:

- An anonymous player ID made by Unity Authentication. It is not linked to your Meta account, your real name or your email address.

- Your gorilla name (for example "Ape4821"), which other players see above your gorilla.

- Gameplay information: where your gorilla is and how it moves, what you carry and wear, what you build, place, loot or break, your health, food and water, and your sleeping gorilla when you log off.

- Connection information: to connect you, Unity's sign-in, session and relay servers receive your device's IP address and basic technical details such as the game version. We do not see or keep your IP address, and other players do not get it.

We use this information only to run the online worlds: to show your gorilla to other players, keep the world the same for everyone, save your progress and keep the game fair.

Where online data is kept and for how long

Each online world is run by a world server operated by us and saved with Unity Cloud Save. A world, and everything in it (bases, boxes, your items and your sleeping gorilla), is kept until that world is wiped. Worlds are wiped from time to time, like Rust servers, and a wipe deletes this data. Sign-in and saving use encrypted connections.

Who handles your information

We do not sell or rent your information. It is only handled by:

- Unity Technologies, which provides sign-in, finding and joining worlds, relay connections and cloud saves. Unity's privacy policy: https://unity.com/legal/privacy-policy

- Meta, which runs the Meta Horizon Store, checks that you own the game and handles player reports. Meta's privacy policy: https://www.meta.com/legal/privacy-policy/

- Other players in the same world, who see your gorilla, its name, what it wears and what it does.

Meta entitlement check

When the game starts it asks the Meta Horizon platform to confirm that you own Primal Apes. Meta handles this check; we only learn whether it passed, not who you are.

Reporting players

You can report another player by pressing the Meta button and choosing Report. Meta sends the report to us so we can look into it. A report can include what you write and information about the player you report.

Your choices

You can play solo without using any online features. To have your online data deleted before the next wipe, or to ask what we hold, email us with your gorilla name and the world name and we will handle it within 30 days. Uninstalling the game deletes everything stored on your headset.

Children

Primal Apes is made for players aged 13 and over. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you think a child under 13 has given us information, contact us and we will delete it.

Changes

If we change what the game uses, we will update this policy and the date above before that update is released.
