<h1>NOVAFALL — PRIVACY POLICY</h1>
<div class="meta">
Effective date: August 12, 2026 · Developer: Robert Gonzales ·
Contact: <a href="mailto:rvg2151@gmail.com">rvg2151@gmail.com</a>
</div>
<p>Novafall is an idle space-strategy game. It comes in two forms: the
<strong>iOS app</strong> from the App Store, and the <strong>free web
edition</strong> you can play in a browser. This policy explains what
information each one handles, why, and what never leaves your control.</p>
<div class="summary">
<strong>The short version</strong>
<ul>
<li>Novafall has <strong>no accounts</strong> — we never ask for your name, email, or contacts.</li>
<li>Your <strong>game save belongs to you</strong>: on iOS it lives on your device and in your own private iCloud storage; on the web it lives in your browser. We cannot see it or access it in either case.</li>
<li><strong>The web edition sends nothing to anyone.</strong> No analytics, no ads, no crash reports, no purchases — it is the whole game running entirely on your own machine.</li>
<li>The iOS app collects <strong>anonymous gameplay analytics and crash reports</strong> to fix bugs and improve the game.</li>
<li>Purchases are processed by <strong>Apple</strong> — we never see your payment details.</li>
<li>We <strong>do not sell your data</strong>, and we do not track you across other companies' apps or websites.</li>
</ul>
</div>
<h2>The web edition</h2>
<p>The browser version at
<a href="play/">robertgonzales1.github.io/novafall/play/</a> collects
<strong>nothing at all</strong>. It contains no analytics, no advertising, no
crash reporting and no purchasing — everything described in the next section
applies to the iOS app only. The page is static files served by GitHub Pages;
once it loads, the game runs entirely in your browser.</p>
<p>Your progress is saved in that browser's own local storage on your own
device. Two consequences worth knowing: it <strong>does not follow you</strong>
to another browser or another device, and <strong>clearing your browsing
data for this site will erase it</strong>. If you want your empire backed up
and synced, that is what the iOS app's iCloud save is for.</p>
<p>GitHub serves the page and, like any web host, processes standard request
data (such as your IP address) to deliver it. See
<a href="https://docs.github.com/site-policy/privacy-policies/github-general-privacy-statement">GitHub's privacy statement</a>.</p>
<h2>What the iOS app collects, and why</h2>
<h3>Gameplay analytics (PostHog)</h3>
<p>To understand how the game is played and where it can improve, we record
anonymous gameplay events — for example, reaching a milestone, opening the
shop, completing a challenge, or watching an optional rewarded ad. These
events are tied to a randomly generated identifier, not to your identity,
and include basic device information (device model, OS version, app
version). <a href="https://posthog.com/privacy">PostHog's privacy policy</a></p>
<h3>Crash reports (Sentry)</h3>
<p>If the game crashes, a report containing the technical state of the app
(stack trace, device model, OS version) is sent to Sentry so we can fix the
bug. Crash reports do not include your game save or personal information.
<a href="https://sentry.io/privacy/">Sentry's privacy policy</a></p>
<h3>Purchases (Apple and RevenueCat)</h3>
<p>All purchases are processed by Apple through the App Store — we never see
your payment card or billing details. We use RevenueCat to validate purchase
receipts and deliver what you bought (and to restore your purchases on a new
device). This involves an anonymous user identifier and transaction metadata
(product, price, date), not your identity.
<a href="https://www.revenuecat.com/privacy">RevenueCat's privacy policy</a></p>
<h3>Advertising (Google AdMob) — optional, rewarded ads only</h3>
<p>Novafall shows advertising <strong>only when you choose to watch a
rewarded ad</strong> for an in-game bonus. There are no forced or banner ads.
Google AdMob may process your device's advertising identifier to serve and
measure ads, subject to the permission choices iOS gives you. If you decline,
ads are simply less personalized — the game and its rewards work the same.
<a href="https://policies.google.com/privacy">Google's privacy policy</a></p>
<p>Two separate consents govern this, and either can say no:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>App Tracking Transparency.</strong> iOS asks whether Novafall
may access the advertising identifier. Change it any time in iOS Settings →
Privacy & Security → Tracking.</li>
<li><strong>EEA, UK and Switzerland.</strong> Where the GDPR applies, a
consent form from Google's certified consent platform appears before any ad
loads, and your choice is recorded there. To change it, email us and we
will tell you how for your device — or reinstall the app, which clears the
stored choice and asks again.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Your game save (iCloud)</h3>
<p>Your progress is saved on your device and backed up to your personal
iCloud storage in a private app container. This backup is between your
device and your Apple account: <strong>we have no access to it, and no copy
of it</strong>. You can disable it by turning off iCloud Drive for Novafall
in iOS Settings. (The web edition has no iCloud backup — see above.)</p>
<h2>What we don't do</h2>
<ul>
<li>We don't sell or rent any data.</li>
<li>We don't collect names, emails, contacts, photos, location, or health data.</li>
<li>We don't track you across other companies' apps or websites.</li>
<li>We don't knowingly collect any information from children under 13.
Novafall is not directed at children, and the analytics described above
are anonymous for all players.</li>
</ul>
<h2>Data retention</h2>
<p>Anonymous analytics and crash reports are retained by the services above
per their standard retention policies and are used only in aggregate. Your
game save is retained wherever you keep it (your device, your iCloud) and is
deleted when you delete it.</p>
<h2>Your choices</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>Analytics/crash data:</strong> these are anonymous; if you have
a concern, contact us and we will help.</li>
<li><strong>Ads:</strong> rewarded ads are always opt-in per watch; iOS's
App Tracking Transparency prompt (when ads are active) controls
personalization.</li>
<li><strong>iCloud backup:</strong> iOS Settings → your Apple ID → iCloud →
Novafall.</li>
<li><strong>Delete everything:</strong> delete your iCloud data via iOS
Settings and delete the app; in-game, Settings → Reset erases your save.</li>
</ul>
<h2>Changes</h2>
<p>If this policy changes materially, we will update this page and the
effective date above.</p>
