Privacy Policy

Data stored on your device

The game stores data needed to remember your preferences and continue playing:

• Settings such as audio volume, mute, and haptics.
• Your personal-best score and whether it is waiting to synchronize with Game Center.
• Saved run checkpoints, including level progress, score, lives, and shield reserve.

This data is used for game functionality. The game does not require a separate developer account or ask you for your name, email address, or other contact details.

Optional Apple Game Center

If you are signed in to Game Center, eligible scores are submitted automatically to Apple's leaderboard service. The game uses Game Center player identifiers, display names, scores, and rankings to show the leaderboard and your position. Your Game Center nickname and score can be visible to other players.

Apple operates Game Center and handles its account and service data under its own privacy terms. The game does not send this information to a separate developer-operated server or use it for advertising.

You can play the campaign without Game Center or an internet connection. Learn more in Apple's Game Center & Privacy information.

Managing and deleting your data

Game data stays on your device until the game updates or clears it, or you delete the app. Deleting, rather than offloading, the app removes its local data; backups are managed separately in your Apple settings.

Sign out of Game Center in your device settings to stop score submissions. A pending score may sync if you sign in again. Signing out or deleting the app does not erase existing Game Center scores. Apple manages their retention; see Apple's Data and Privacy portal for available data requests, including deletion.

Advertising, analytics, and sharing

The game does not include ads, in-app purchases, third-party analytics, or cross-app tracking. The developer does not sell or share game data with advertising or data-broker services. Apart from the optional Game Center features described above, the game does not transmit your saved game data to external services.
