Red Armada is a single-player game for iPhone and iPad. It has no accounts, no sign-in and no servers of its own, and it collects nothing that could identify you. This policy explains, in plain terms, what happens to data when you play.
The game sends anonymous, aggregated usage statistics through TelemetryDeck, a privacy-first analytics service based in Germany. Each signal is a short, enum-like record of something that happened in the game — a session started, a level was attempted or taken, a tutorial round was finished, something was bought with in-game coins — together with counters describing what the game was doing at that moment — which level and wave, how much of the in-game currency a purchase cost or a run collected, how far the base has been raised, how many seconds into the session it happened — plus the technical details every such service receives: app version, device model, operating-system version and language region.
That is the whole of it. There is no account and no sign-in, nothing you type is collected because the game has no text fields, and no advertising identifier is read — which is why the app never asks for tracking permission. TelemetryDeck derives an anonymous, hashed identifier on your device so that repeat sessions can be counted; it cannot be turned back into your device, your Apple ID or you. Nothing collected is sold, shared with advertisers, or used to build a profile of you or to follow you across other apps and websites.
Why it exists at all: the game is made by one person, and these numbers are the only way to see where players get stuck or stop playing. You can read TelemetryDeck's own privacy policy at telemetrydeck.com/privacy.
When the game starts, and when it comes back from the background, it downloads a small text file from this website that says which app versions are still supported. If your copy is older than that, the game shows an update notice — a dismissible one, or, for a version that can no longer work correctly, one that asks you to update before playing on. Nothing is uploaded in this check: it is an ordinary download, and like any request to any website it carries your IP address and is visible in the host's standard server logs, which are not used to identify or profile anyone. If the file cannot be reached, the game simply carries on.
Analytics signals and that version file are the only things the app ever sends or fetches. There is no advertising SDK, no crash-reporting service, no server of our own, and no other third-party code in the app beyond Apple's own frameworks and the analytics SDK named above. The game itself is fully playable offline.
Your progress — levels completed, coins and other in-game resources, equipment, and your sound and game settings — is saved locally on your device using Apple's standard app storage. It is never transmitted. Deleting the app deletes this data permanently; we cannot restore it, because we never had a copy.
Nothing collected identifies anyone, of any age. No personal information is gathered from children or from anyone else.
If you install the app from the App Store, Apple may collect download and, where you have opted in, crash and usage statistics under Apple's own privacy policy. That data reaches us only in aggregated, anonymous form through App Store Connect, if at all.
Because the statistics are anonymous, there is no account to delete and no record that could be found and handed back to you — we could not identify your data even if you asked us to. If you would rather send nothing at all, deleting the app stops it; playing offline only holds the signals on the device until it is online again.
If a future version adds anything further that touches data — purchases, cloud saves, a server of our own — this page is updated before that version ships, and the date at the top changes with it.
