Summary
Boltie Beaver saves progress on your device. Online features use a player account created without an email address or password. You may choose a nickname. A player ID or nickname can still identify your activity; we do not describe this data as completely anonymous.
The current beta has no advertising or real-money in-app purchases. Gameplay analytics and online game features are described below.
Our game server
Our game server is hosted by Supabase in Frankfurt, Germany. It stores the following against your player ID when online features are available:
- your optional nickname and leaderboard scores;
- a backup of saved progress, including completed levels, Parts and settings;
- level ratings and notes you choose to submit, with level, attempt, play time and game version information;
- technical fields such as platform and timestamps.
Other players see your nickname and scores on the leaderboard. Online updates can be delayed or fail when the connection or service is unavailable. A backup does not provide a sign-in or recovery method on another device. Reinstalling can lose the link to your existing account.
Deleting online game data
Settings > Delete my data requests removal of the current player account, nickname, scores, ratings, notes and progress backup from our game server. Wait for the game's confirmation. If it reports a failure, the deletion has not been confirmed.
If the game reports that device cleanup is incomplete, use Retry device cleanup in Settings. This retries removal of the saved connection to the deleted account. It does not send another account deletion request.
This action does not erase your local level progress, local gameplay log, previously shared messages or GameAnalytics data. A later launch can create a new player account and back up remaining local progress again. For a broader deletion request, contact support@boltiebeaver.com. We will explain which records we can identify and what the request covers.
Analytics
The game sends gameplay events and session information to GameAnalytics, together with an analytics identifier, game version, platform, operating system version and device model. This helps us understand level difficulty and game use. New analytics identifiers are generated randomly for the app; an existing saved identifier is retained after an update.
The current code does not read the advertising identifier or device vendor identifier. Previously collected records and identifiers are not changed by an app update. Delete my data does not erase GameAnalytics records or stop its collection.
Beta distribution
If you use Apple TestFlight, Apple may share crash logs and testing information with the developer under Apple's TestFlight terms. The game's deletion button does not manage those records.
On your device and information you share
Your device stores progress, settings, service connection information, pending online updates, analytics records waiting to be sent, and a local gameplay log. The gameplay log can include a note you typed.
Send Feedback opens Google Forms with a tester code, game version, level, completed-level count and launch count in the link. Opening that link sends those prefilled values to Google. Submitting the form sends your answers under Google's privacy policy.
Share Test Log copies log text on iPhone or opens its folder on desktop. You choose whether to paste or attach it to a message. Review notes and other content before sharing. Emailing us shares your email address and the message you send. App removal is not an online deletion request and does not erase copies you already shared.
Children and personal details
A nickname or note can contain personal information even when no sign-in is required. Please avoid adding real names or contact details. Contact us if you have a privacy concern involving a child.
