PRIVACY

Privacy Policy

Emberlight is a local-first offline game. We keep the data on your device whenever possible.

What we do not collect

The app does not require an account and does not collect your name, email, location, contacts, photos, camera or microphone content. It does not use ads, cross-app tracking, third-party analytics, or a developer-operated cloud database.

Game progress

Light, facilities, research, voyages, and settings are stored in the app's local Application Support sandbox. The app keeps a valid local backup to help with write failures. You can export a JSON save from Settings and import your own save through the system file picker.

Purchases

Lighthouse Collection and Tide Marks: Chapter One are processed by Apple through StoreKit. Emberlight does not receive your card number, payment credentials, or full billing details; it only reads Apple's verified entitlement state. Restore purchases is initiated by you. Purchases are not written into the game save.

System services

The app uses Apple's StoreKit service to load products and verify transactions. The free core game remains playable when the store is unavailable. Emberlight does not register push notifications or local notifications.

Children and deletion

There is no developer-operated account or server, so there is no developer-side account to delete. Deleting the app removes the local save on that device; export it first if you want to keep it. Purchase records in your Apple Account are managed by Apple.

Contact

For help, visit the support page and include the app version and iOS version. Please do not send payment credentials or a complete save file.
