Privacy notice · September 23, 2026

We keep the game data small and understandable.

Orbital Outsiders is operated by Jason Schlachter. Questions, privacy requests, and reports can be sent to orbital.outsiders@gmail.com.

What stays on your device

Campaign progress, mission stars, local scores, and launch metrics are stored on your device. This release does not upload campaign saves. Deleting an online account does not delete those local records.

Online scores and accounts

Score Attack can create an anonymous online identity so eligible scores can appear on the leaderboard. A public callsign, ranking, score, and score date can be visible to other players. Please do not use personal contact information as a callsign.

Sign in with Apple is optional. It helps restore an online score identity on another device. Apple may provide an account identifier and, if you choose it, a private relay email address. The game does not request or publish your real name or email address.

What the service processes

• Online identity and callsign information.
• Eligible scores and limited timing/event receipts used to operate rankings and reject invalid submissions.
• Network and security information used for abuse prevention and rate limits.

Apple processes Apple sign-in. Supabase provides the authentication, database, and server functions used for the online leaderboard.

Why we use it

We use this information to operate the public leaderboard, restore an online identity when you sign in, prevent abuse, moderate public callsigns, and maintain the service. We do not sell personal data, run ads, or use the game data for cross-app tracking.

Retention

Ranking-best scores remain while they are published, until you delete the online account or the leaderboard is reset. Other run records are normally removed after 30 days. Expired claim and rate-limit records are normally removed after one day. A completed account-deletion receipt is removed after seven days. Operational security logs and backups may retain limited information for longer under the service provider's operational settings.

Your choices

Use Scores → Account → Sign out to remove the current device's online session. Use Scores → Account → Delete account to remove an online identity and its public scores. The game unpublishes scores when deletion begins and retries an interrupted deletion. Contact us if deletion remains pending or if you need help with another privacy request.

Public callsigns

We filter callsigns and may rename a callsign, hide a score, or block an identity to protect the leaderboard. To report a callsign, email its exact text, leaderboard period, score/date, and a short explanation. Do not send passwords, Apple codes, tokens, or another person's private information.

This notice will be updated when the game’s data practices or service providers change.
