Privacy
Data Not Collected. That's what the App Store privacy label says. No accounts, no ads, no analytics, no tracking, and no third-party code.
What's saved on your iPhone
The game keeps a few things in its own private storage. They never leave your device.
- Settings, like volume, graphics, controls, accessibility options, and whether the tutorial is on.
- Your profile: level and XP, unlocked weapons, achievements, your player color and hat, and lifetime stats like runs played, kills, accuracy, and play time.
- Your current run, so you can pick up where you left off after closing the app. If a saved run ever gets corrupted, the game keeps one copy of it to help with troubleshooting, and replaces it if it happens again.
Your iCloud or computer backups may include this data, which Apple controls. Deleting the app deletes it. I can't see any of it.
Game Center
If you're signed in to Game Center, the game sends your best wave and most kills to the leaderboards, and reports achievements you earn. Other players can see your Game Center nickname and scores. If you're not signed in, nothing is sent.
Your music
If you choose "Your music" in Options, iOS will ask for access to your music library. The game only uses it so you can play songs from your library, including Apple Music songs you've added, while you play. Nothing from your library is saved or sent anywhere. If you never pick that option, the game never asks.
Links
The main menu may later get buttons that link to my social media. Tapping one opens that site in Safari. The game itself doesn't send anything, but once you're on that site, its own privacy policy applies.
Tips
Tips go through Apple's in-app purchase system. Apple handles the payment, so I never see your name, payment details, or Apple Account. I only get sales totals.
Crash reports
The game doesn't collect any. If you've turned on "Share With App Developers" in Settings > Privacy & Security > Analytics & Improvements, Apple may send me anonymous crash reports. I can't tell who you are from them.
What the game doesn't touch
Your location, contacts, photos, camera, microphone, health data, or advertising identifier. Controllers, keyboards, and haptics are only used to play the game.
Kids
The game collects no personal information from anyone, including children under 13.
For the technically curious
The app's privacy manifest declares no tracking, no tracking domains, and no collected data. It lists one "required reason" API: system boot time (CACurrentMediaTime, reason 35F9.1), used only to time things inside the game, like frames, sounds, haptics, and animations.
