Privacy Policy
The short version
Aliens Incoming has no accounts, shows no ads, and uses no tracking or analytics. The only information that ever leaves your device is the callsign and score you choose to submit to the global leaderboard. Everything else — your settings and preferences — stays on your device.
Information we collect
Leaderboard submissions. When you finish a run and choose to post a score, the app sends the callsign you type, your score, the level you reached, and the difficulty to our leaderboard. These entries are shown publicly on the in-game and website leaderboards. Your callsign is whatever you choose — please don't enter personal information.
Stored on your device only. Your preferences (difficulty, sound, music, haptics, chosen ship, theme, and your last callsign) are saved on your device so the game remembers them. This information is not transmitted to us.
What we do not collect. We do not collect your name, email address, phone number, precise location, contacts, photos, or any advertising or tracking identifiers. We do not require you to create an account.
How information is used
Leaderboard submissions are used for one purpose: to display the global high-score leaderboard, ranked by difficulty. On-device preferences are used only to remember how you like to play. We do not sell or rent any information, and we do not use it for advertising.
Third-party services
Leaderboard entries are stored using Supabase, a third-party hosting provider, on our behalf. Only the leaderboard data described above is sent there. See Supabase's privacy practices at supabase.com/privacy. The game contains no advertising networks and no analytics or tracking SDKs.
Children's privacy
Aliens Incoming is suitable for all ages and includes a kid-friendly EASY mode. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone, including children. The only user-entered data is a freely chosen callsign, which should not contain personal information. If you believe a child has submitted personal information as a callsign, contact us and we will remove it.
Data retention & removal
Leaderboard entries remain so scores can be ranked over time. Because there are no accounts, an entry isn't tied to an identity — but if you'd like a specific callsign and score removed, email us with the details and we'll take it down. On-device preferences are cleared whenever you delete the app.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes, we'll update the date at the top of this page. Continued use of the app after an update means you accept the revised policy.
