STARKEEL Privacy Policy
Starkeel is a game by Glowfin Games. This policy explains what information the game uses and why. In short: the game itself collects nothing about you. The only online features are Google Play Games achievements, leaderboards and cloud saves, which Google runs if you choose to sign in.
What the game does not do
- No ads and no analytics or tracking.
- No account with us. We run no servers and receive no data from the game.
- No access to your contacts, photos, location, camera or microphone.
Data stored on your device
Your progress (unlocked sectors, upgrades, settings, records and achievements) is saved only on your device. It stays there until you uninstall the game or clear its data. You can copy it yourself with Settings > Copy save code.
Google Play Games (optional)
On Android, the game can sign in to Google Play Games automatically. You can decline or sign out at any time. When you are signed in, Google receives and stores:
- Your Play Games player ID, gamer name and avatar, so the game can show who is signed in.
- Achievements you unlock and your scores. Leaderboard scores are visible to other players together with your gamer name.
- A copy of your saved game (a cloud save), so you can continue on another device. It is stored in your Google account.
This data is handled by Google under the Google Privacy Policy. We cannot see it except as Google shows it to every developer, such as public leaderboard entries. You can manage or delete your Play Games data in the Google Play Games app or at myaccount.google.com.
Versions of the game for other platforms (for example PC or Mac) do not connect to the internet at all.
Purchases
On Google Play the game is free to try, and one optional in-app purchase unlocks the full game. Google Play handles the payment. The game only asks Google Play whether your account owns the full game and keeps that answer on your device so it works offline. We receive only standard sales reports, never your payment details.
Children
The game does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone, including children. Play Games sign-in follows Google's own rules for child accounts.
Changes
If this policy changes, the new version will be posted on this page with a new date.
