Galactic Drift
Privacy Policy
Galactic Drift does not collect, store, or transmit any personal information. There are no accounts to create, no sign-in, no analytics, no advertising, and no third-party tracking of any kind. This policy describes, plainly, everything that happens with data when you play.
Information We Collect
None. The app itself does not collect any information from you or about you. It has no servers and no backend of its own.
Game Center (Optional)
If you are signed into Apple's Game Center on your device, Galactic Drift submits your scores to the game's leaderboards so you can compete with other players. Apple, not ByteLathe LLC, operates the Game Center service. When you submit a score:
- Apple receives your Game Center nickname and the score for that level.
- The app never receives or stores your Apple ID, email, real name, or any other personal information.
- You can disable Game Center at any time in Settings → Game Center on your device.
Apple's handling of Game Center data is governed by the Apple Game Center Privacy Notice.
Local Storage on Your Device
The app saves the following information on your device only. None of it leaves your device, and none of it is personal:
- Level progress and completed levels
- Best scores and a record of past launches (angle, speed, score, timestamp, sampled trajectory points for ghost replays)
- Daily streak count and last played date
- Audio and haptic preferences
- Tutorial completion flag
Deleting the app removes all of this data.
Third-Party Services
None. Galactic Drift does not include any third-party SDKs, analytics libraries, advertising networks, or crash-reporting services.
Analytics, Tracking, and Advertising
The app contains no analytics or tracking of any kind. No advertising identifiers (IDFA) are accessed or transmitted. No advertisements are shown.
Children's Privacy
Galactic Drift is suitable for all ages and does not knowingly collect information from anyone, including children.
Changes to This Policy
If this policy changes, the "last updated" date above will change along with it. Significant changes will also be noted in the app's App Store release notes.
Contact Form
The contact form on our Support page is the only way we communicate with you from this site. When you send a message through it, we collect the name, email address, and message body you provide and transmit them to our inbox using an Amazon Web Services (AWS) Lambda function and Amazon SES, both operated by us. We use this information only to reply to your message. We do not store form submissions in any separate database, and we do not share them with anyone.
If you would rather not use the form, you simply don't need to contact us — no data is collected otherwise.
Spam protection — Google reCAPTCHA
Our contact form is protected by Google reCAPTCHA v3, which helps us distinguish human visitors from automated bots. When you load or submit the contact form, Google receives your IP address and interaction signals for that page, subject to the Google Privacy Policy and Google Terms of Service. We use reCAPTCHA solely for spam prevention; we do not receive or store the data Google collects through it.
