PRIVACY POLICY

INTRODUCTION

Essential Dev Team ("we", "our", or "us") built Infinite Cosmic Shooter as a free app. This page informs you of our policies regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of personal information when you use our app.

INFORMATION WE COLLECT

We do not collect, store, or share any personal information such as your name, email or location. The app does not require account creation or login.

All game progress (scores, coins, upgrades, settings) is stored locally on your device using standard iOS storage and is never transmitted to our servers.

The app sends anonymous usage statistics that are not linked to you (see below). You can switch them off at any time in Settings → Privacy → Share Usage Data.

ANONYMOUS USAGE STATISTICS

To learn how the game is played and to find crashes, Infinite Cosmic Shooter sends anonymous usage statistics to our own server (hosted on Supabase). This is our own first-party system. The app identifies itself only with a random installation ID that is created on your device and is deleted together with the app.

What is sent:

• Device model, iOS version and app version
• Language, region and time zone
• Accessibility settings (such as larger text or reduced motion)
• Sessions (start and end) and the last screen you were on
• Game events, such as a run started or finished (the wave reached, as a range, and the starting wave), an item unlocked (ship, world or upgrade), a reward ad watched, or a coin pack bought (its size only)
• Store views of the Coins tab and which coin pack was tapped
• Purchase and refund events (the product only)
• Crash and performance reports from Apple’s MetricKit

What is never sent: your name, email, phone number or address; your location; the advertising identifier (IDFA) or vendor identifier (IDFV); prices, receipts or transaction IDs; and anything you type or create. Your IP address is not stored or used.

Retention: usage statistics are kept for 13 months (crash and performance diagnostics for 6 months), then deleted.

Turn it off: Settings → Privacy → Share Usage Data. When off, nothing is collected or sent for analytics, and anything not yet sent is deleted from your device. The same switch also turns off PostHog (below). Unity Ads (below) is separate and follows your App Tracking Transparency choice.

Delete it: copy your Installation ID from Settings → Privacy and email it to essentialdevteam@gmail.com; we will delete everything linked to it.

THIRD-PARTY SERVICES

The app uses the following third-party services that may collect information:

• Unity Ads — Used to display optional reward advertisements. Unity may collect device identifiers and usage data in accordance with their own privacy policy. See: Unity Privacy Policy
• PostHog — Product analytics. Receives anonymous game events (for example a run started or finished, the store opened, coins earned) with a random anonymous ID, plus app open/close events and basic device information. It is not linked to your identity and is not used for advertising. The app turns off PostHog’s IP-based location lookup, so PostHog does not use your IP address to estimate your location. You can turn it off in Settings → Privacy → Share Usage Data. See: PostHog Privacy Policy
• Apple StoreKit — Used to process in-app purchases. Purchases are handled entirely by Apple in accordance with their privacy policy. See: Apple Privacy Policy

IN-APP PURCHASES

The app offers optional in-app purchases for virtual coins. All transactions are processed by Apple through the App Store. We do not have access to your payment information.

CHILDREN'S PRIVACY

We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children. The app does not require any personal data to function. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided personal information, please contact us so we can take appropriate action.

DATA RETENTION

We do not collect personal data. Anonymous usage statistics are kept for 13 months (crash and performance diagnostics for 6 months), then deleted. Game data stored on your device can be deleted by uninstalling the app.

YOUR RIGHTS

We do not collect personal data. You can stop anonymous usage statistics at any time in Settings → Privacy → Share Usage Data, and ask us to delete them by emailing your Installation ID (shown in the same place) to essentialdevteam@gmail.com. If you have any other concerns, feel free to contact us.

CHANGES TO THIS POLICY

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
