Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Emberrun: Daily Survival ("the app", "we", "us") handles information when you use the Emberrun iOS application — a daily survival roguelike told in text.

1. Information we process

a. Game data on your device

Your run history, stats and streak, settings, and the optional player name you may enter are stored only on your device. There is no account, and we do not receive or upload this data. Deleting the app removes it.

b. Daily story delivery

Each day the app requests the day's story from our hosted content service over an encrypted connection (HTTPS). This delivers the same daily story to every player; we do not ask for, or attach, your real identity to this request. Once a story has loaded it is cached on your device so the game plays offline.

c. Push notifications — Firebase Cloud Messaging

If you allow notifications, we use Firebase Cloud Messaging (a Google service) to deliver occasional messages — for example, a gentle reminder that today's run is waiting. Firebase assigns your installation a push token and processes basic device information to deliver these messages. You can turn notifications off at any time in iOS Settings, and the app works fully without them.

d. Attribution & marketing measurement — AppsFlyer

We use AppsFlyer to understand which marketing source led to your install and to measure installs and sessions. AppsFlyer processes device identifiers and install/session events. If you grant tracking permission, this may include the Apple Advertising Identifier (IDFA).

e. Diagnostics

We may receive aggregated, anonymised crash and performance data to keep the app stable.

2. App Tracking Transparency

iOS asks your permission before the app can track you across other apps and websites. If you deny, AppsFlyer will not use the IDFA. Emberrun plays exactly the same either way — no feature is gated behind it. You can change this any time in iOS Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking.

3. Third-party services

The services below process data on our behalf; their own policies apply:

• Google Firebase (push notifications) — firebase.google.com/support/privacy
• AppsFlyer (attribution) — appsflyer.com/legal
• Apple (App Store) — apple.com/legal/privacy

4. How we use information

• To deliver the daily story and let you play it.
• To send notifications you have opted into.
• To measure the effectiveness of our marketing.
• To keep the app secure and stable.

We do not sell your personal information.

5. Data retention

Data on your device — including your stats and any player name — remains until you delete the app. Requests to our content service are used to deliver the day's story and are not tied to your identity. Data held by our providers follows their standard retention periods.

6. Children

Emberrun is intended for a general audience and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

7. Your choices

• Player name — entirely optional; add or change it in the app.
• Notifications — turn off any time in iOS Settings.
• Tracking — deny or revoke in iOS Settings.
• App data — delete the app to remove all local data.
• Requests — email us to ask a question or request deletion of data associated with your device.

8. Security

Any requests to our service and providers are sent over encrypted connections (HTTPS). No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, but we take reasonable measures to protect the limited data we process.

9. International users

Our providers may process data on servers outside your country. By using Emberrun you understand your information may be transferred to and processed in those locations.

10. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date above reflects the latest version. Continued use of the app after a change means you accept the updated policy.
