Privacy policy

The short version

We collect as little as we can get away with. Our games don't require accounts and don't ask for personally identifiable information. The only data that moves is what makes free-to-play work: advertising and (eventually) anonymous gameplay analytics.

Our games — Blue vs Orange Runner

Blue vs Orange Runner ("the Game") is published by ArcField Studios. The Game displays advertising served by Google AdMob — a rewarded video ad for a second chance or double coins, and an interstitial ad shown between some runs. AdMob collects your advertising ID, IP address, and approximate location to serve and measure these ads, and — where you consent through the in-app prompt shown at first launch (required in the EEA and UK) — to personalize them. You can limit ad personalization at any time from your device's own settings (Android: Settings → Privacy → Ads; iOS: Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking). On iOS, the Game also asks for Apple's Tracking Transparency permission before requesting ads.

The Game does not require an account and does not collect personally identifiable information directly. For details on Google's data practices, see Google's Privacy Policy at policies.google.com/privacy.

It sends anonymous gameplay analytics — level starts, completions and failures (with the reason), the gates you pass during a run, and ad-request outcomes — tagged with a random identifier generated on your device, never your identity, processed by PostHog in the EU.

Our games — Outrun the Wave

Outrun the Wave ("the Game") is developed and published by ArcField Studios. The Game doesn't have an account and doesn't ask for anything personally identifiable — no name, no email, no phone number.

Your save data (progress, survivors, coins) lives only on your device and never leaves it. Production builds of the Game do not transmit gameplay analytics.

The Game displays advertising served by Google AdMob — rewarded video ads only, shown when you choose to watch one for its revive and bonus-roll offers; the Game never interrupts play with forced ads. AdMob may collect your advertising ID, IP address, and approximate location to serve and measure ads, and — where you consent through the in-app prompt shown at first launch (required in the EEA and UK) — to personalize them. You can limit ad personalization at any time from your device's own settings. For details on Google's data practices, see Google's Privacy Policy at policies.google.com/privacy.

Our games — BloomStrike

BloomStrike ("the Game") is developed and published by ArcField Studios. The Game doesn't require an account — it plays entirely offline, and your garden, battle progress and currency are stored only on your device (Settings → Export/Import lets you move a save between devices yourself).

It displays a rewarded video ad served by Google AdMob for its optional bonus offers — doubling your daily reward or skipping the nursery's growth timer — watched by choice, never forced between plays. AdMob may collect your advertising ID and approximate location to serve and measure that ad, subject to your device's ad-tracking settings and, where required, the EU/UK consent prompt and Apple's Tracking Transparency permission. For details on Google's data practices, see Google's Privacy Policy at policies.google.com/privacy.

It also sends anonymous gameplay analytics (battles fought and won, plants grown, rewarded ads watched) tagged with a random identifier generated on your device, never your identity, processed by PostHog in the EU.

Our games — Crowd Heist

Crowd Heist ("the Game") is developed and published by ArcField Studios. The Game plays offline and doesn't require an account or ask for anything personally identifiable — no name, no email, no phone number. Your progress is stored only on your device.

It displays advertising served by Google AdMob — a rewarded video ad you choose to watch for a bonus, and an interstitial ad shown between some runs. AdMob may collect your advertising ID, IP address, and approximate location to serve and measure these ads; where required in the EEA and UK, the consent prompt shown at first launch governs whether they are personalised. You can limit ad personalisation at any time from your device's own settings. For details on Google's data practices, see Google's Privacy Policy at policies.google.com/privacy.

It offers optional in-app purchases — removing interstitial ads, cosmetic crew skins, and a supporter bundle — as one-time purchases processed by Apple or Google; ArcField Studios never receives your payment details.

It also sends anonymous gameplay analytics (runs played, gates chosen, rewarded ads watched) tagged with a random identifier generated on your device, never your identity, processed by PostHog in the EU.

Our games — City Stack

City Stack ("the Game") is developed and published by ArcField Studios. The Game plays offline and doesn't require an account or ask for anything personally identifiable — no name, no email, no phone number. Your progress (levels, best accuracy, hearts, daily streak) is stored only on your device.

It displays advertising served by Google AdMob — rewarded video ads only, watched by choice when you want an extra heart to keep building; the Game never interrupts play with forced ads. AdMob may collect your advertising ID, IP address, and approximate location to serve and measure these ads; where required in the EEA and UK, the consent prompt shown before the first ad governs whether they are personalised. The Game asks your age band once: if you indicate you are a child or a minor, ad requests are tagged as child-directed and ad content is capped to a general rating. You can limit ad personalisation at any time from your device's own settings. For details on Google's data practices, see Google's Privacy Policy at policies.google.com/privacy.

It contains no analytics of any kind and offers no in-app purchases — the only data that leaves your device is the ad data described above, handled by Google.

The site sets no tracking cookies and runs no ad scripts.

If you say yes to the banner, we count visits with Vercel Web Analytics: page path, referrer, country, and device type, with no cookies and no identifier that follows you across sites. Say no — or ignore it — and nothing is measured at all. You can change your mind by clearing this site's data in your browser.

If you use the contact form, we store the name, email address, and message you type — nothing else — so we can reply. Submissions are stored securely, read by the developer, never sold or shared, and deleted on request.

Your rights

You can ask what we hold about you, ask for it to be deleted, or withdraw ad-personalization consent from your device settings at any time. One email does it — see below.
