Privacy Policy
The short version
- Your progress, settings and run history stay on your device.
- When you finish a climb online, your score goes to the global leaderboard under a generated name (or a name you pick after signing in). There’s no email, no real name and no free-text profile.
- Ads only appear if you choose to watch one for a Second Wind. Google AdMob provides them and collects device data, as described below.
- We don’t sell your data, and we don’t run analytics or tracking of our own.
Data kept on your device
The game saves your best scores, missions, unlocked cosmetics, settings and your last 100 runs in a file on your device. It isn’t sent anywhere. Uninstalling the game or clearing its data deletes it.
The global leaderboard
When you finish a run while online, the game sends the run to our leaderboard server. It sends:
- a random player ID and a random secret created on your device (the server stores only a hash of the secret);
- your leaderboard name: a generated botanical name like “Mossy Wren 1234”, or a custom name if you’ve signed in;
- the run’s score, height, Resonance, length, world seed and an input replay (your left/right steering over time), so we can re-play the run to check it’s genuine;
- the game version and platform (Android or iOS);
- your country, taken from your phone’s region setting. If that isn’t available, our host (Cloudflare) estimates it from your network address. We don’t store your IP address.
What other players see: your leaderboard name, score, height, platform and country.
We use this data only to run the leaderboard (ranking, regional boards, cheat checks and moderation). We keep it until you ask us to delete it, or until we shut down the leaderboard.
Signing in (optional)
Where it’s available, you can sign in with Google (Android) or Apple (iOS) to choose a custom name and keep your entries across devices. When you do, we receive a signed token from Google or Apple and store only the account’s unique ID for SKYLOOM. We don’t store your email address, your real name or your profile picture.
Ads (Google AdMob)
SKYLOOM shows a rewarded ad only when you tap to watch one for a Second Wind revive. Google AdMob provides these ads. To show and measure them, AdMob may collect your device’s advertising ID, IP address, device and app information, and how you interact with ads. Where personalised ads are allowed, it may also use this data to personalise them.
- In the EEA, the UK and Switzerland (and other places where the law requires it), the game asks for your consent with Google’s consent message before any ads load.
- You can reset or delete your advertising ID, or opt out of personalised ads, in your phone’s settings (on Android: Settings → Google → Ads; on iOS: Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking).
- To learn how Google uses this data, see How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services and Google’s Privacy Policy.
Service providers
The leaderboard runs on Cloudflare (Workers and D1). Cloudflare handles the network requests and may keep standard security logs. Sign-in uses Google or Apple, and ads use Google AdMob. Each of these follows its own privacy policy.
Deleting your data
To delete your leaderboard data, email yigit@ozdamar.net with your leaderboard name, which is shown on the leaderboard screen in the game. Within 30 days we’ll delete your player record, all of your scores and replays, and any linked sign-in account ID, and we’ll confirm by reply. You can also email us to ask what we hold about you or to correct it.
Clearing the game’s data on your phone removes your local progress and starts a new leaderboard identity, but it doesn’t remove entries you’ve already posted. Ask us to remove those.
Children
SKYLOOM isn’t directed at children under 13, and we don’t knowingly collect personal data from them. If you believe a child has posted to the leaderboard, contact us and we’ll delete the entry.
Changes
If this policy changes, we’ll update this page and the date at the top.
