Privacy Policy

Local-First by Default

OrbTap is built so the meaningful parts of your experience stay on your device. No account creation or sign-up is required to play. Your best score, theme choice, haptic and sound preferences, and OrbTap+ purchase entitlement are stored locally on the device. We do not operate a custom backend that stores player data.

Data Stored Locally

• Your personal best score and the timestamp of when it was set.
• Selected neon theme and dot-trail preference.
• Haptics and sound on/off toggles.
• OrbTap+ entitlement status managed by Apple StoreKit.
• A small amount of analytics-grade state (number of runs since last interstitial) used to throttle ad frequency.

GameCenter (Optional)

If you are signed into Game Center on your device, OrbTap submits your score to the GameCenter leaderboard with ID `com.culiorbit.app.highscore` after every game over. This is handled entirely by Apple\u{2019}s GameCenter SDK and is governed by Apple\u{2019}s privacy policy. You can opt out by signing out of Game Center in iOS Settings.

Unity Ads (Free Players Only)

• OrbTap shows interstitial ads (after roughly every third death) and optional rewarded video ads on game over to free players. These are served by Unity Ads, a third-party ad network.
• Unity Ads accesses your device\u{2019}s advertising identifier (IDFA) to serve relevant ads, subject to your iOS App Tracking Transparency choice.
• OrbTap does not request the App Tracking Transparency prompt itself \u{2014} Unity Ads will request it on the first ad load. If you decline, you will see less relevant ads, not fewer ads.
• Unity Ads collects device data per their own privacy policy: https://unity.com/legal/game-player-and-app-user-privacy-policy.
• Purchasing OrbTap+ for $2.99 removes all interstitial ads and stops all calls to Unity Ads.

How We Use Your Data

• Core Functionality: To run the orbit, calculate hits and misses, animate particles, and trigger haptic feedback.
• Leaderboards: To submit your score to GameCenter when signed in.
• Subscription / Purchase: To verify OrbTap+ entitlement via Apple StoreKit.
• Advertising (free tier only): To serve interstitial and rewarded video ads via Unity Ads.
• Diagnostics: To process anonymous crash reports surfaced by Apple\u{2019}s built-in iOS crash reporting (only when you have opted in via iOS Settings).

Data We Do NOT Collect

• No name, email, Apple ID, or phone number is collected by OrbTap.
• No custom analytics SDK (no Firebase, no Mixpanel, no behavioural tracking by us).
• No microphone, camera, location, contacts, photos, or health data is accessed.
• We do not sell, rent, or share personal data with third parties for marketing.

Children’s Privacy
