Privacy Policy

What stays on your device

Your progress, records, settings, Sky Journal and purchase status are saved on your device and are not sent to us. Deleting the app, or clearing this site's data in your browser, removes them.

Daily Climb

When you play the Daily Climb, the game creates a random key on your device and the server gives you a generated display name. With that name we store your daily results: distance, time and a short replay path that other players see as a ghost. The server also records the IP address that created the entry, to limit abuse. No account, email address or real name is involved.

The same random key is used to keep your furthest climb (a number of metres) on the server, so the game can tell you where you stand among all climbers, for example "top 7%". It is sent when you finish a section and needs no account either.

This data is hosted by Supabase. To have your Daily Climb results and best climb deleted, write to us with your display name.

Ads in the phone apps

The free Android and iOS versions show ads through Google AdMob, which can also fill ads from partner networks such as Unity Ads and Mintegral. To show and measure ads, these companies may collect device identifiers (such as the Android Advertising ID, or Apple's IDFA if you allow tracking), your IP address, device and app information, and how you interact with ads.

Where the law requires it, for example in the EEA and the UK, the app asks for your consent before ads are personalised, and on iOS you are asked whether the app may track you. You can change your ad choices later under Settings, Ad privacy in the game, and your tracking choice in your device settings. How Google uses this data: policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites. Unity Ads: unity.com/legal/game-player-and-app-user-privacy-policy. Mintegral: www.mintegral.com/en/privacy.

Box Climb Plus owners see no ads in the phone apps.

Ads on the website

boxclimb.com shows ads through Google AdSense. On the game page they appear only on wide screens, in a small space beside the game and never over it. Google and its partners may use cookies and similar technologies to show and measure these ads, and to personalise them where you have agreed. You can manage the ads Google shows you at myadcenter.google.com.

Analytics

To learn how Box Climb is found and played, for example how many people play, for how long and how far they climb, the apps use Google Analytics for Firebase and the website uses Google Analytics. They record events such as starting a climb, finishing a section, a fall, the Daily Climb and purchases, together with device and app information, an app instance or cookie identifier and an approximate location that Google derives from your IP address. We don't send your name, email address or anything else that identifies you.

Where the law requires consent, for example in the EEA and the UK, these events are sent without analytics or advertising identifiers until you agree: in the apps through the consent message shown at first launch, on the website through Google's consent message. How Google uses this data: policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.

Purchases

Purchases are handled by Google Play or the App Store. We never see your payment details; the store only confirms to the game that Box Climb Plus was bought.

Children

Box Climb is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.
