Privacy policy
Flyster is a game, and it collects as little as it can. There are no ads, no analytics or tracking SDKs, and we never sell or share your data with advertisers. You don't need an account or an email address to play.
What stays on your iPhone
Your pilot profile (name, coins, cars, paint jobs, boosts and lifetime stats), your best score, farthest distance and weekly bests, recently played missions and your settings (sound, music, haptics and graphics quality) are saved on your device. Deleting the app deletes them.
Game Center
If you're signed in to Game Center, Flyster submits your score and distance after each run to the Flyster leaderboards and reads them back to show your rank. Apple runs Game Center under Apple's privacy policy. We see only what the leaderboards show to every player, such as your Game Center nickname and scores. You can sign out of Game Center or hide your profile in the Settings app at any time.
Online leaderboards
Flyster's own online leaderboards use Google Firebase. When you take part, the app signs in anonymously, which creates a random ID that isn't linked to your name, email or Apple Account. We store:
| Data | Why |
|---|---|
| Random anonymous ID | To know which leaderboard entries are yours, so only you can change them |
| Pilot name you choose and your car | Shown next to your scores |
| Best score and distance, all-time and per week | To rank you on the leaderboards |
| When those were last updated | To sort weeks and stop rapid-fire or implausible submissions |
This data is stored by Google Cloud in the United States and is visible to other Flyster players on the leaderboards. Google processes it for us under the Firebase privacy and security terms. Please don't use your real name or anything personal as your pilot name.
Deleting your data
You can delete everything Flyster holds about you online from the Profile screen in the app; your entries disappear from the leaderboards straight away. If you can't reach the app, email contact@valuxapp.com with your pilot name and we'll delete it within 30 days. Deleting the app removes everything saved on your device.
Purchases
If Flyster offers in-app purchases, Apple handles the payment. We receive only a receipt saying what was bought, never your payment details.
Children
Flyster is suitable for all ages and doesn't knowingly collect personal information from children. Leaderboard names are checked for length and characters; if you see an inappropriate name, tell us and we'll remove it.
Your rights
Depending on where you live (for example under the GDPR or the CCPA), you can ask to see, correct, export or delete your data. Email us and we'll help. You can also complain to your local data protection authority.
Changes
If this policy changes, we'll update the date at the top of this page. Significant changes will also be mentioned in the app's release notes.
