You can also opt out of personalized ads from third-party ad networks via the Network Advertising Initiative and the Digital Advertising Alliance.
Cloud Save Game Sharing Feature
The Cloud Save Game Sharing Feature allows You to upload Your saved game data (such as custom star systems, planets and textures) to a cloud server so it can be shared with other users. This feature is entirely optional, and You must opt in to use it.
Data Collected for Save Games
When You use this feature, We store and process the following types of data related to Your saved games:
- Save Data: game progress, configurations of custom star systems, planets, and any other content created in the app, together with the title, author name and description You enter for the save.
- Custom Textures: textures and other custom images used in Your saved games. Imported 3D models are not uploaded.
- Metadata: non-personal information such as the date and time of the save, the version of the app, the anonymous identifier described above, the number of downloads, and votes, ratings or flags You give to other users' saved games.
How Your Save Data Is Used
- Stored on Our cloud servers: Your saved data is stored on Our servers (Google Firebase). We reserve the right to delete inactive or unused data, including custom textures and metadata, at Our discretion if it has not been accessed for an extended period or for server management reasons.
- Shared with other users: when You opt in, Your shared saved game data, including custom textures, the title, author name and description You entered, and metadata, becomes publicly visible to other users of the app. Do not enter personal information in these fields.
- Deleted upon request: You can request the deletion of Your shared saves and custom textures at any time by contacting Us or by using the app's built-in tools.
Data Privacy for Cloud Saves
We do not associate Your shared saves with Your real identity, and We do not use them to track or identify individual users. Only the saved game content (for example custom star systems, planets and textures), the text You entered for it, and metadata (for example votes) are visible to others.
User-Generated Content: Custom Textures and Save Games
When using the cloud sharing feature, You may upload and share custom content, such as textures or game configurations, created or imported by You. By uploading or sharing any content, You agree to the following conditions:
No Copyright Infringement: You may not upload or share any textures or other content that infringes on the intellectual property rights of others. This includes, but is not limited to, copyrighted images, designs, trademarks, or materials that You do not have permission to use.
No Inappropriate Content: You may not upload or share any content that is offensive, inappropriate, or violates laws or regulations. This includes content that is:
- Obscene, pornographic, or sexually explicit;
- Violent or promotes harm to others;
- Discriminatory, hateful, or harassing;
- Otherwise deemed inappropriate by Us at Our discretion.
Responsibility for Uploaded Content: You are solely responsible for any content You upload or share through the cloud sharing feature. We reserve the right to review and remove any content that violates these terms without prior notice.
Flagging Inappropriate Content
Users can flag save games that they believe are inappropriate or violate Our guidelines. When a save game receives a certain number of flags, We will review the flagged content. If We determine that the content violates Our policies, We may remove it from the cloud servers.
Retention and Deletion of Save Data
Save data, including custom textures and votes on other saved games, will be retained on Our cloud servers unless deemed inactive or unused. We reserve the right to delete data, including save games and metadata, that has not been accessed for an extended period or for server management purposes, without prior notice to You.
If You wish to delete Your saved games, custom content, or vote data, You can do so via the app or by contacting Us for assistance.
Data Stored on Your Device
Your saves, settings, imported textures and imported 3D models are stored locally on Your device. They are not sent to Us unless You choose to share a save through the Cloud Save Game Sharing Feature. Uninstalling the app removes them.
Children's Privacy
Our Service is not intended for use by children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13. If You are a parent or guardian and become aware that Your child has provided Us with Personal Data, please contact Us. If We become aware that We have collected personal data from a child under 13 without parental consent, We will take steps to delete that information.
Retention of Data
We will retain Usage Data for as long as necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy. This includes retaining data to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements. Data collected by the third-party services above is retained according to their own policies.
Transfer of Data
Your information may be transferred to and maintained on servers located outside Your jurisdiction, including in the United States. By using the Service, You agree to the transfer of Your data in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

To exercise these rights, contact Us using the details below. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection authority.
Security of Your Data
We strive to protect Your data; however, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While We take commercially reasonable steps to protect Your data, We cannot guarantee absolute security.
