Short and honest

What the game itself collects

Nothing. There are no accounts or logins, no advertising and no analytics or tracking SDKs, and the game never asks for personal information. Our own code never sends anything over the network — Simple Ideas doesn't run any game servers.

Unity engine diagnostics

Almost in Orbit is made with the Unity engine. With the settings used in the current version, Unity's built-in engine diagnostics can send technical data to Unity Technologies while your device is online: crash reports, error logs and basic performance signals, along with device details such as the phone model and operating system version. As with any internet connection, Unity also receives your device's IP address when this happens.

Unity uses this data to keep its engine stable, and it gives us crash and performance reports for the game. We don't use it for advertising, we don't use it to track you across apps, and we don't sell any data. Unity's side of this is covered by the Unity Privacy Policy.

Your save data

Your progress, permanent upgrades and settings are stored locally on your device and never leave it. If your phone backs itself up (iCloud, Google backup), your save may be included in that backup — that's between you and your device, and we have no access to it. Delete the game and the save goes with it.

Purchases

Almost in Orbit is a paid app with no in-app purchases. Payment is handled entirely by the Apple App Store or Google Play under their own terms and privacy policies. We never see your payment details.

Children

The game itself collects no personal information from anyone, including children. The Unity engine diagnostics described above apply to every player.

If this ever changes

If an update changes any of the above — including switching engine diagnostics off — we'll update this page and the date at the top, and note it in the store update notes. Questions? salih@simpleideas.net
