Privacy Policy
Star Bolts, by SnailPixel. Last updated 11 August 2026.
This policy explains what Star Bolts (the "app") collects, why, and how you
can delete it. If you have questions, email
[email protected].
What we collect
- A player id - when you first play, the app creates a random
anonymous id on your device. If you post a score, that id, your chosen display
name, and your best score and progress are saved to our leaderboard so you can
compete with other players. It is not linked to your real identity.
- Advertising data - if ads are enabled, Google AdMob may
collect device identifiers and app usage to show ads. In the EEA and UK we ask
for your consent first through an in-app consent form.
- On-device data - your stats, settings, and reminder
notifications are stored on your device and are not sent to us unless you post a
score or use cloud sync.
You can play the entire game without posting a score. If you never do, we hold
no data that identifies your device on our servers.
How we use it
- To rank you on the leaderboard and sync your progress across your devices.
- To show ads that keep the game free.
- To keep the service secure and working.
Who we share it with
We do not sell your data. We use these service providers to run the app:
- Google AdMob - advertising.
(how Google uses data)
- MongoDB Atlas - stores the leaderboard (your player id,
display name, best score, and progress).
Data retention and deletion
We keep your leaderboard data until you delete it. You can delete all of it at
any time:
- In the app: open Settings and choose Delete my data, or
- On the web: visit /delete and enter your player code
(shown in the app under Settings) to remove your data.
Deletion removes your leaderboard entry, your daily-challenge entries, and your
synced progress. It cannot be undone.
Children
Star Bolts is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly
collect data from them.
Security
Data is transmitted over HTTPS and access to our database is restricted.
No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, but we take reasonable
steps to protect your information.
Changes
We may update this policy. Material changes will be reflected here with a new
"last updated" date.
