This policy explains what information Monkler collects when you play, why we collect it, and what you can do about it. Monkler is a multiplayer VR game for Meta Quest made by StinkyCorp.
Who we are
Monkler is developed and run by StinkyCorp, a small independent game studio. When this policy says "we", "us" or "our", it means StinkyCorp. You can reach us at Sillymonkeyflip@gmail.com.
What we collect
We only collect what the game needs to run online, save your progress and keep lobbies safe.
| Information | Where it comes from | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Meta (Oculus) user ID | Your Meta account, when the game starts | To sign you in and link your save data to you |
| PlayFab player ID | Created by PlayFab the first time you play | To identify your account on our servers |
| Display name | The name you choose in game | Shown to other players in lobbies |
| Cosmetics, currency and inventory | Created as you play | To save what you own and what you're wearing |
| Moderation records | Player reports and our moderators | To handle reports and enforce bans |
| Voice audio | Your microphone, while voice chat is on | To let you talk to players in your room, live |
| Gameplay network data | Your game while you're in a room | To sync your movements and actions with other players |
| IP address and basic device info | Your headset's connection | To connect you to servers, choose a region and prevent abuse |
We do not ask for your real name, address, phone number or payment details. We do not use your camera, location or contacts.
How we use it
- Sign you in and load your saved cosmetics, currency and inventory.
- Put you in rooms with other players and keep everyone in sync.
- Run live voice chat between players in the same room.
- Review reports, ban players who break the rules and stop banned players from coming back.
- Fix bugs, keep servers stable and protect the game from cheating.
We do not sell your information, and we do not use it for advertising.
Services we use
Monkler uses these services to run. They process information on our behalf and under their own privacy policies:
- Photon PUN 2 and Photon Voice
- By Exit Games GmbH. Runs multiplayer rooms and live voice chat. Processes your IP address, gameplay network data, display name and voice audio while you're connected. Photon privacy policy
- PlayFab
- By Microsoft. Stores your account, display name, cosmetics, currency, inventory and moderation records. Processes your IP address and basic device info when you sign in. Microsoft privacy statement
- Meta Quest platform

Voice chat
Voice chat is sent live through Photon's servers to the other players in your room. We do not record or store voice chat. Other players can hear you while you're in the same room, so don't share personal information out loud. You can mute other players, and you can turn off your microphone in game or in your headset settings.
Sharing
We only share your information:
- With the services listed above, so the game can work.
- With other players, who can see your display name and cosmetics and hear your voice in the same room.
- If the law requires it, or to protect players' safety.
How long we keep it
We keep your account data for as long as you have a Monkler account. If you ask us to delete your account, we delete your PlayFab data within 30 days. We may keep a ban record after deletion so banned players can't simply start over. Voice audio is never stored.
Children
Monkler is meant for players aged 13 and older. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13. If you think a child under 13 has played Monkler, email us and we will delete their data.
Your choices and rights
You can ask us to:
- Tell you what information we have about you.
- Correct it.
- Delete your account and data.
Email Sillymonkeyflip@gmail.com and include your in-game display name so we can find your account. Depending on where you live (for example the EU, UK or California), you may have more rights under local law. We will respond within 30 days.
Security
Your data is stored with PlayFab and sent over encrypted connections where the services support it. No system is perfectly secure, but we only keep what the game needs.
Changes
If we change this policy, we'll update the date at the top of this page. If the change is big, we'll also announce it in the Monkler Discord.
