Privacy Policy for the game “Sippar”
1. In short
The game itself does not collect, transmit or share any personal data. It has no ads, no analytics or tracking, no crash reporting of its own and no user account, and it never connects to the internet on its own. The Android app requests no permissions, not even “Internet”. Steam and Google Play process data under their own responsibility when you buy and run the game (section 4).

3. What is stored on your device
So that you can continue playing, the game creates files only on your device: save games, settings (e.g. graphics, UI size, key bindings), unlocked achievements and graphics caches, and on PC also log files. Logs can contain technical details such as your graphics card and a folder path with your user name. They leave your device only if you send them to us yourself. You can delete everything by uninstalling the game and deleting the save folder (in the game under Settings, Help and contact), or on Android by clearing the app data. On Android, your Google account's device backup can include save games, settings and achievements and move them to a new device, if you have turned it on in the Android settings. Android does this, not the game; we do not receive or see this data. Graphics caches are excluded.
4. Purchase and platforms
Purchase, download, updates, refunds and your account are handled by the platform. The operator processes your data under its own responsibility.
- Steam (Valve Corporation, USA): Valve's privacy policy. If Steam Cloud is available for this game and switched on for you, the Steam client copies your saves and settings to Valve's servers. The Steam client does that, not the game, and we cannot see these files. You can switch it off in Steam in the game's properties. If the game offers Steam achievements, it reports them to the Steam client on your device. Valve gives us sales figures, but nothing about you.
- Google Play (Google Ireland Ltd.): Google's privacy policy. If you have allowed it on your device, Google can record crash and performance data and show us technical summaries of it. Android and Google Play do that, not the game. Google also gives us sales reports, which we use only for our accounting (Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR).
5. Contact by email
The email button in the game opens your own mail program and suggests the version and system as text. Only what you send yourself gets sent. If you write to us, we process your email address and message only to answer you (Art. 6(1)(b) or (f) GDPR). If you voluntarily attach a save game or log, we use it only to find the bug. We delete the message once your request is settled and no retention duty applies.
6. This website
This site is hosted on Cloudflare Pages (Cloudflare, Inc., 101 Townsend St., San Francisco, CA 94107, USA). When you visit it, Cloudflare processes technically necessary data such as your IP address, browser details and the page requested, to serve and protect the site. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in providing it securely (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). Data may reach the USA in the process; Cloudflare states that it is certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework. More in Cloudflare's privacy policy. We ourselves use no cookies, no analytics and no embedded third-party content. The “Open website” button in the game only opens your browser.
7. Your rights
You have the right of access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability and objection (Art. 15–21 GDPR) and the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority, for example the authority responsible for Niedersachsen.
8. Children
The game collects no personal data from anyone, including children.
9. Changes
If the game later gets features that process data (e.g. optional crash reports), we will update this policy first and ask for your consent in the game.
