Space Swarm privacy policy

Effective date: 7 October 2026

Space Swarm is an offline, single-player game for Android and iOS, with a version that runs in a web browser. It has no account and no purchases. Your progress stays on your device: the developer runs no game server and receives none of it. The apps can show optional rewarded video advertisements from Google, and Google's advertising software inside the apps collects data to do that; see below.

Information stored on your device

The game stores sound/control preferences, lifetime scores, per-ship flight records (including builds, dates and assisted status), contract records, ship upgrades, weapon unlocks, salvage, item rarity, temporary weapon-loan time and a checkpoint of the current flight. Native apps use the device's preferences store and a WebView copy. Browser play uses local storage for the origin where you open the game.

You can remove this data through the device's app-storage controls or the browser's site-data controls. Uninstalling removes local app data; an operating-system backup or restore may preserve or restore it according to your device/account settings.

Services and connections

The game has no account, purchase, online multiplayer or gameplay-analytics service. The apps contain their gameplay files and do not need an internet connection to play. Loading the browser version or this website requires the server hosting the files. That server may handle ordinary web request logs, such as your IP address and browser type, under its own policy. This website sets no cookies and runs no analytics or advertising scripts.

SHARE on the results screen writes a flight card image to the app's cache and opens the system share sheet; the game sends nothing itself and grants nothing for sharing. On iOS, choosing Save Image there asks to add the card to Photos. The game does not request access to contacts, location, camera or microphone.

Optional rewarded advertisements

The Android and iOS apps include Google AdMob and Google's User Messaging Platform (UMP). Ads are optional: a completed video can lend a locked Rare weapon, restore your ship, refill one upgrade reroll per flight, add 50% to a finished flight's salvage, store one free bomb or shield after a Survival boss falls, or deliver a salvage supply drop. Recovery is offered once per flight. Closing an ad without earning its reward leaves normal play available. A version of the game can ship with advertisements switched off; that version requests no advertisement. The browser version contains no advertising software.

The game requests consent information before requesting a live advertisement and shows Google's consent form when required. An Ad privacy control appears in Settings when Google requires a privacy-options entry point; use it to change or withdraw your choice at any time. Declining or lacking consent eligibility can make an advertisement unavailable. Opening an eligible recovery offer or weapon-loan sheet, a saved results screen with a salvage bonus, a Survival level-up with no rerolls left, or a Survival boss kill while an item slot is empty requests an ad only after the consent check allows it and the device is online; the home-screen supply drop requests one only when tapped. Watch appears only once the ad loads; Bank and Cancel remain available while loading. No ad is requested by the game at startup. While a flight is running, the only request is the boss cache, made right after a Survival boss falls while an item slot is empty.

Google's Mobile Ads SDK collects data and shares it with Google and its advertising partners for advertising, analytics and fraud prevention: your IP address, which can be used to estimate your general location; your interactions with the app and with advertisements; diagnostic and performance information; and device identifiers, including the advertising ID and the app set ID. Depending on your consent and your device settings, this data can be used to show you personalised advertisements. It is sent to Google over encrypted connections. The developer receives aggregated advertising reports from Google, not data about individual players.

Google explains this in How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services, in its Android data disclosure and iOS data disclosure, and in its privacy policy. You can reset or delete the advertising ID in your device's settings. The iOS app does not request tracking authorization or read IDFA.

The game keeps bounded offered, loaded, shown, rewarded and failed counters per ad placement on your device. Flight record shows these local diagnostics when ads are enabled; the game never transmits them. The game does not send your ship build or saved progression to a developer server.

Keeping and deleting data

Data on your device stays there until you remove it, as described above. The developer keeps no copy of it, so there is nothing for the developer to delete. Data collected by Google's advertising software is kept by Google; its privacy policy explains for how long and how to ask Google to delete it.

Children

Space Swarm is not directed at children under 13, and the developer does not knowingly collect personal data from children.
