Last updated 29 October 2026 · Applies to Sootfist for iPhone
- No account; a random save code instead
- Cloud save with Google Firebase
- Usage events not linked to your identity
- No ads, no IDFA, no cross-app tracking
01Who we are
Sootfist is made by Kun Tian in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia (“we”, “us”). We handle personal information in line with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles. This policy covers the Sootfist app; our website has its own privacy policy.
02What the game collects
| Data | Why | Where it goes |
|---|---|---|
| Game progress (levels, gear and settings in your save) | Cloud save, so you can get your progress back after reinstalling or changing phones | Google Firebase (Firestore), stored under a random 24-character save code. Not linked to your name, email or Apple ID. |
| Usage events (for example: tutorial finished, boss defeated, daily reward claimed) and basic device information (model, OS version, country, language) | To see where players get stuck and which features are used, so the game can be improved | Google Analytics for Firebase, linked to an app-instance identifier that resets if you delete the game. The advertising identifier (IDFA) is not collected. |
03What the game does not do
- It does not ask for your name, email, contacts, photos or location.
- It does not show ads, and it does not share data with advertisers or data brokers.
- It does not track you across other apps or websites.
04Save codes
Your save code is the key to your cloud save. It is kept in the iOS Keychain and may sync through your own iCloud Keychain. Anyone who has the code can load that save, so don't share it.
05Notifications
If you turn reminders on, they are scheduled on your phone only. Nothing is sent to a server.
06Keeping and deleting data
Deleting the game removes everything stored on your phone. To have a cloud save deleted, email us your save code. Analytics data is kept by Google for up to 14 months and is not tied to your identity.
07Children
The game does not knowingly collect personal information from children. It contains no chat, no user content and no links to social media.
08When you contact us
If you email us, we receive your email address and whatever you write or attach. We use it only to answer you, keep it in our support mailbox for as long as needed to help you, and never add you to a mailing list.
09Your rights and complaints
You can ask us what personal information we hold about you, and ask us to correct or delete it, by emailing the address below. If you are unhappy with how we have handled your information, contact us first and we will respond within 30 days. You can also complain to the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner at oaic.gov.au.
10Changes to this policy
If Sootfist changes how it handles information, we will update this page and the date at the top before the change takes effect, and update the App Store privacy label to match.
