Effective 30 October 2026. Applies to A Dark Forest: Local Edition, iPhone adaptation version 1.0.0. This does not describe the original creator’s website or other editions.

Data not collected.

This offline iPhone edition does not collect or send your game data to the developer. It has no app account, advertising, analytics, tracking, developer-operated cloud-save service or real-money purchase integration.

Progress on your device.

Save slots, resource and story progress, local timestamps, and language/audio/display preferences stay in this app’s local storage. Exported save text is copied or pasted only at your request.

Removing the app can remove local progress. Export a separate backup first. Device backups and any app where you store copied save text follow their own privacy settings.

Connections and links.

Normal play uses bundled game resources. The bundled game uses a local connection confined to this iPhone; game requests do not leave the device or contact the developer. No original online account, purchase or analytics service is active in this edition. An informational or support link opens only when you choose it; Safari and the destination website follow their own policies.

Support and this website.

If you choose to open a GitHub support issue, GitHub processes that information and the post is public. Do not post a private save or personal information. This support website uses no advertising or analytics scripts; its hosting provider may process ordinary web-request information to serve the pages.

Changes and contact.

This policy will be updated if the app’s data practices change. For privacy or support questions, open a support issue without including private information.
