The essentials: offline games, local saves, no accounts, no ads, and no gameplay analytics. If you contact us or use Apple’s diagnostic or beta-testing services, some information is shared as explained below.
About this policy
Effective date:
This policy explains how MinimalisticGamers handles information in Wigmaker Workshop (com.skylar.wigmaker), A Quiet Ember (com.skylar.adarkroom), Paperclip Game (com.skylar.paperclipgame), Space Lich Omega 1 (com.skylar.spacelichomega1), Speed Warp (com.skylar.speedwarp), our other games that link to this policy, and this website. For general privacy questions, use our public GitHub support tracker without posting personal information.
Offline games and local saves
Our games work offline and do not require an account. Game progress and settings are stored on your device. We do not operate game servers or receive your saves through normal gameplay.
Our games do not run advertising or analytics services and do not track you across apps or websites. We do not collect advertising identifiers or sell personal information.
Normal gameplay in the games listed above sends no game progress, identifiers, advertising data, or gameplay analytics to us. Their native hosts block remote game resources. Links you choose open outside the app. Read the dedicated policies for A Quiet Ember, Paperclip Game, Space Lich Omega 1, and Speed Warp for app-specific details.
Where a game offers save export or import, it reads or writes the file you choose. A storage provider you select may synchronize exported files according to its own settings and privacy policy. Device or iCloud backups may also include app data, depending on your settings. Our games do not provide their own cloud accounts or automatic cross-device save synchronization.
Managing your game data
You can use a game's reset controls, where available, to reset progress, or delete the app to remove its local app data. Exported saves and existing device or cloud backups are separate; manage or delete them through the relevant file, device, or backup settings. We cannot retrieve or delete a save stored only on your device.
When you contact us
Support is handled through public GitHub issues. If you post, we and other visitors can see your GitHub username, public profile information, message, and attachments you publish. We use support posts to respond, investigate problems, and track fixes. A GitHub account is needed to post. Please do not publish personal contact details, sensitive information, or screenshots or saves containing them.
Public support posts may remain visible after an issue is closed. You can edit or delete your own posts where GitHub allows. For a general privacy question, open an issue without including personal information. GitHub processes account and issue information under the GitHub General Privacy Statement and handles requests about records it holds.
Apple services and beta testing
Apple processes information for App Store distribution, device backups, and diagnostics under its own policies and your device settings. If you choose to share app diagnostics with developers, Apple may make crash or diagnostic reports available to us. We use reports we receive to investigate problems and improve our games.
If you test a beta through TestFlight, Apple automatically collects and shares crash logs and usage information with us and may include your name and email address. Feedback you submit through TestFlight is also shared with us. We use this information only to improve our apps and do not share it with third parties. These platform services are separate from our games' offline save storage.
We keep diagnostic reports and beta feedback only as long as needed to investigate issues and improve our games. You may contact us about information we hold. Records held by Apple remain subject to Apple's retention practices and available privacy controls.

This website
This website is hosted on GitHub Pages. We do not add analytics, advertising, tracking cookies, or contact forms. GitHub logs visitors' IP addresses for security purposes and may process technical request information to provide and protect its hosting service. This processing is described in the GitHub General Privacy Statement. GitHub's GitHub Pages documentation explains its visitor IP logging.
External links
If you open a link to another website or service, including GitHub support, that provider handles information under its own privacy policy.
Changes and contact
We will update this policy if our practices change, including before introducing features that handle information differently. The effective date above identifies the current version. For general questions, use our public GitHub support tracker. Keep personal information out of public posts; use GitHub's privacy controls for information held by GitHub.
