Privacy Policy
Effective date: October 20, 2026
This policy explains how 0rbiter handles information in the game (bundle ID com.spark.orbiter) and on 0rbiter.com, including player profiles, advertising, sharing, and your privacy choices.
Information We Collect
You can play without providing a real name or email address. The game uses a Firebase guest account with a persistent player ID. Guest does not mean that all records are anonymous: profiles, scores, and activity can be linked through this ID.
Automatically collected
·
Account and profile data — Firebase player ID, pilot name, profile appearance, and account creation, sign-in, and activity timestamps. Authentication state is also stored on your device.
·
Gameplay — submitted runs, scores, times, levels, missions, and trajectory or replay information. We use these records for leaderboards, achievements, shared replays, and player activity statistics. Some progress and settings are stored only on your device.
·
Rewards and access — token balances, reward and spending records, reward verification identifiers, rocket selections, and access entitlements associated with your player ID.
·
Technical information — app version, platform, and service request information. Hosting and advertising providers may process IP addresses, device information, and diagnostic logs when their services are used.
Optionally provided by you
·
Pilot name — a nickname you choose or accept. Pilot names, public profile links, achievements, and leaderboard results are visible to other people. Use a nickname rather than personal contact information; you can edit it from your profile.
·
Website account and workshop content — if you choose to use website sign-in, Firebase processes your email and sign-in credentials or Google sign-in information. We store website account details. Workshop drafts are saved locally in your browser or on your device; they are not uploaded to your website account. This sign-in is not required to play the mobile game.
·
Support — if you email us, we receive your email address and the information you include so we can respond.
How We Use Your Information
·
To authenticate players, maintain profiles and game records, and display leaderboards and achievements.
·
To award and validate tokens, apply access entitlements, and prevent duplicate rewards and abuse.
·
To understand game activity, including play frequency, completed runs, and returning players, using records linked to player IDs as well as aggregate statistics.
·
To generate requested share media, operate website accounts and workshops, respond to support requests, and investigate service problems.
·
To serve and measure advertisements through the providers described below, subject to the choices available in your app version and device settings.
Public game information is available to people who view profiles, leaderboards, or shared links. Other account records are used by our service providers and authorized administration tools to operate and improve 0rbiter. Advertising providers have their own data practices, described in their linked policies.
Third-Party Services
Advertising: Unity LevelPlay and advertising networks
The advertising services used depend on the app version, platform, and advertising configuration. Versions using Unity LevelPlay may use ironSource, Unity Ads, and Liftoff Monetize (Vungle). Some versions use Google AdMob. When these services run, providers may process device or advertising identifiers, IP addresses and approximate location derived from them, ad impressions and interactions, and diagnostic or performance information to deliver and measure ads and prevent fraud. Their processing may also include personalization, subject to applicable choices and permissions.
Rewarded advertising uses a player ID and reward-request identifiers so the provider and our server can verify completion and credit the correct player. These records are associated with the game account.

Firebase (Google)
Firebase Authentication manages guest and website sign-in. Cloud Firestore stores game and account records. Cloud Functions, Cloud Run, hosting, and storage services process requests and generate or serve share media. These services may keep operational logs. Our player activity reports are derived from account and gameplay records.
Firebase privacy and security information
Expo / EAS
The app is built with Expo. Versions with Expo updates enabled may contact Expo services to check for and download compatible updates. Those requests involve network and app/device information under Expo's privacy policy.

Sharing Replays and Images
When you prepare a share card or replay, the game sends the relevant pilot name, result, level, and replay parameters to our rendering services. Images and videos are generated on the server, may be cached there, and are downloaded to temporary storage on your device. Shared links can be opened by anyone who receives them. New versions use a share identifier linked to the generating player account. Older versions may still put the pilot name and result in the link itself.
The sharing feature sends the generated file or link to the destination you choose. It does not upload your existing photo library to our renderer. If a destination requires photo-library permission, your device controls that permission. Copies saved or posted in another app are handled by that app and are not removed by deleting your 0rbiter account.
Data Retention & Deletion
Account and gameplay records are kept to provide the service until you delete the account or we remove records through service maintenance. Removing the app from your device does not request deletion of its server-side account or public results.
·
In app versions that include account deletion, open your own pilot profile, tap the pencil to edit it, and choose “Delete my account.” Confirming starts deletion of the sign-in account and its associated profile, game records, rewards, and account data stored on that device.
·
If you use an older version, cannot access the app, or need help with website data, contact hello@0rbiter.com with the subject “Data Deletion Request.” Include a pilot name or profile link to help us locate the account; do not send passwords or sign-in tokens.
·
A limited deletion record tied to the former account ID is retained to finish retries and prevent delayed activity from recreating deleted records. Device preferences, such as language, audio, and advertising choices, can remain on the device.
·
For account-linked shares created by the updated sharing feature, account deletion disables access to our share links and rendering services as soon as deletion starts. The associated stored media is removed by a background process without making you wait for that cleanup. Previously generated, unlinked media from older versions is being retired separately; contact us with an older share link if you need help. Deleting your account cannot remove copies already saved or reposted by other people.
·
Our media storage provider currently keeps inaccessible deleted-object backups for seven days before permanent removal. Technical and security records may have separate provider retention periods.
Advertising and hosting providers may retain technical or security records under their own retention policies. Contact us for help with a data request or use the provider privacy links above. We may need to verify that a request relates to your account before acting on it.
Your Privacy Choices
In versions with the 0rbiter advertising privacy prompt, you can decline advertising data processing; ads will not load and you can continue playing. To change a stored choice, open About and choose “Privacy choices” when available. Other versions may show the advertising provider's consent options. Advertising consent is separate from Apple's tracking permission and does not grant that permission.
You can also manage tracking and photo permissions in your device settings, edit your pilot name, choose whether to share a replay, or delete your account. Contact hello@0rbiter.com to request access, correction, or deletion of your data, or to raise a privacy concern.
Children's Privacy
0rbiter is not directed at children under the age of 13 (or equivalent minimum digital age in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately so we can delete it.
International Data Transfers
0rbiter is available internationally. Information may be transferred to and processed in countries other than your own, including the United States, where data protection laws may differ from your country. Our hosting and advertising providers describe their processing locations and transfer safeguards in the policies linked above.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Effective date" at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this page periodically. Changes to this notice do not replace any separate consent or device permission that is needed.
