Loco Sandbox Privacy Policy

Privacy Policy of TinygameStudio for the Loco Sandbox VR game on Meta Quest and its mod maker website. Last updated 4 October 2026.

Who we are

Loco Sandbox is made and published by TinygameStudio, who owns this privacy policy and is responsible for the game's data. In this policy "we" and "us" mean TinygameStudio. Contact: max@niage.es

The short version: Loco Sandbox doesn't ask for your real name, email, age or location, has no ads and doesn't sell anything about you. To play online it uses an anonymous player ID. Voice chat is live only and is never recorded.

What the game stores on your headset

Your settings, your gorilla's name and fur colour, your sand, the cosmetics you own, quest progress, the mods you added, and the list of players you muted or blocked. This stays on your headset. Uninstalling the game deletes it.

What is sent when you play online

Online play runs on Unity Gaming Services (by Unity Technologies). When you go online:

What	Why	Kept for
An anonymous player ID made by Unity (not linked to your Meta account)	To put you in rooms and keep your shared maps apart from others	As long as the game is installed
Your gorilla name, fur colour, cosmetics and movements	So other players in your room can see you	Only while you're in the room
Your voice (only while voice chat is on and you're talking)	Live voice chat with the players in your room	Not stored: it's passed straight to the other players
Maps you choose to publish from build mode	So other players can find and play them	Until you replace them or ask us to remove them
Player reports (who was reported, the reason, and who reported)	To keep online play safe	As long as needed to handle the report

YouTube creator badges

The game reads your Meta user ID on your headset and compares it with a public list of creator IDs it downloads from locosandbox.netlify.app, to see whether you have a creator badge. Your ID stays on your headset; it is shown to you on the creator board so you can send it to us if you make videos about the game. If you send it to us, we only use it to add your badge, and we remove it from the list when you ask.

Microphone

The game asks to use your microphone for voice chat. If you say no, or switch Voice chat off in the settings, nothing from your microphone is ever sent. You can mute any player, or everyone, on the players wall in the lodge.

Safety

Names are checked by a word filter.
You can mute, block and report players on the players wall in the lodge, and report through the Meta menu.
Friendly mode stops anyone from being hurt, and you can turn off Others can grab me.

The mod maker website

The mod maker at locosandbox.netlify.app runs in your browser. The mods you make are turned into a short code on your own device. Nothing you type is sent to us, and the site doesn't use cookies or tracking.

Children

We don't knowingly collect personal information from children. The game never asks for personal details, and online play only uses the anonymous player ID described above.
