Summary
Orbit Arcade does not collect personal data. The app does not use accounts, analytics, ads, in-app purchases, tracking, cloud saves, or server communication, and it does not include third-party advertising, analytics, attribution, social, crash-reporting, or payment software.
The app saves gameplay data locally and has no online game services. Device backups are managed separately by your operating system, as described below.
The only way the developer ever receives anything from you is if you choose to send an email to support. That is described under Support email below and is separate from the app.
In this policy, "I" and "me" mean Ben Hartline, the developer of Orbit Arcade.
Data stored on your device
Each game keeps its own local gameplay data in the app's private storage. The game does not transmit this data to the developer.
Orbit Grapple
- Best score, lifetime run totals, and daily challenge bests, including the local ghost replay for the daily run.
- Goal progress, unlocked and selected ship styles.
- Settings: sound, haptics, reduced motion, and high contrast.
Orbit Jumper
- Best score, distance, and chain, daily challenge bests, including the local ghost replay for the daily run, and lifetime run totals.
- Goal progress, selected style, and which run-ending causes have already been explained to you.
- Settings: sound and music volume, haptics, reduced motion, high contrast, and precision aim.
Privacy and Support buttons
The game selector has Privacy and Support buttons. Tapping one shows this information inside the app. It is bundled with the app and works offline: the buttons never open a web browser, email app, or any other app, and the app sends nothing. In the app, the support email address is shown as plain text.
Support email
If you choose to email hello@benhartline.com, I receive your email address, anything you write, and any attachments you include. I use that correspondence to respond to you and to manage the support conversation. Email service providers on my side and yours process the delivery and storage of that email under their own terms. It is not sold or used for advertising, and it is not linked to anything in the app, because the app has nothing to link it to.
I keep support correspondence only as long as it is needed to handle your request and for necessary recordkeeping. You do not need to include any gameplay data unless it helps explain the problem. To ask that a support email you sent be deleted, write to the same address from the address you used. I will handle deletion requests subject to any legal obligations and to backup retention by email providers, which I do not control.
Deleting your data
The app provides no accounts or cloud sync, so you delete local gameplay data yourself. Deleting removes the data stored on that device.
- iPhone and iPad: delete the app from the Home Screen, or use Settings, General, iPhone Storage, Orbit Arcade, Delete App.
- Android: uninstall the app, or open Settings, Apps, Orbit Arcade, Storage, and choose Clear storage.
- Support email: ask at hello@benhartline.com to have your correspondence deleted, as described under Support email.
Device backups, such as iCloud Backup, Google backup, or a backup to a computer, are managed by your operating system under its own terms, not by this app. A backup made before you deleted the app can contain its gameplay data and can restore that data if you restore the backup.
Permissions and device features
Orbit Arcade does not use camera, microphone, photos, contacts, location, phone, SMS, Bluetooth, or advertising identifier permissions. Haptic feedback uses your device's vibration feature only to respond to gameplay, and it can be turned off in each game's settings.
App stores and operating systems
Apple and Google may process download, purchase, device, crash, or diagnostic information when you install or run apps from their stores. That processing happens under their own terms and privacy policies, and this app does not receive it.
This website
These pages are plain static files hosted by Cloudflare, so visiting them involves Cloudflare processing your web request. The Orbit Arcade pages contain no scripts, analytics, tracking, or remotely loaded fonts.
Children
Orbit Arcade is a general-audience arcade app. It does not collect personal data from anyone, including children.
Changes to this policy
If a future version adds accounts, analytics, ads, in-app purchases, tracking, cloud saves, server communication, or any other data collection, this policy and the store privacy disclosures will be updated before that version is released.
