Privacy Policy

Last updated 22 September 2026

Fleet Raider has no accounts, no sign-up, no advertising, and no advertising SDKs. It never asks for your name, your email address, or your location, and it does not read your contacts, photos, files, microphone or camera.

It does send anonymous gameplay data so the game can be balanced and its crashes found. This page says exactly what that is.

Gameplay data

While you play, the game sends short records of what happened in your voyage to a server operated by the developer. Each record contains:

a random device identifier generated by the game the first time it runs, and stored only on your device. It is not your advertising ID, and it is not linked to you, your Apple ID or your Google account;
a session and voyage identifier, so events from one sitting can be read in order;
what happened in the game — for example that a fight ended in a surrender at a given depth, how much gold a prize carried, which ship you sailed, or that a passage was failed;
the app build and operating system name (for example "iOS"), and a measure of graphics memory in use, which is how graphics crashes get diagnosed;
purchase events — which item was bought or restored, its listed price, and whether the store reported success, failure or cancellation. No payment details are ever seen by the game; see Purchases and advertising below.

Approximate location. Because these records are sent over the internet, the request arrives carrying the network address it came from. We do not keep it. What is stored instead is the country the request came from (for example "US") — enough to know roughly where the game is being played, and not enough to identify a person or a place. The app never asks for, and never has access to, your device's location.

This data goes to a server the developer runs, at fr-telemetry.direhollow.com. It is not sold, rented, or shared with advertisers, data brokers, or any third party. There is no third-party analytics or crash-reporting SDK in Fleet Raider.

Two-player duels

Fleet Raider includes a mode where two phones fight each other. If — and only if — you start or join a duel, the game uses Google Firebase Realtime Database to pass moves between the two devices, and Firebase Anonymous Authentication to give each device a temporary anonymous identifier for the duration of that duel.

Anonymous authentication creates no account and asks for no credentials. What travels through Firebase is the state of the fight — positions, headings, orders, damage — and nothing about you. Google processes this data as our service provider; see the Firebase privacy information. If you never play a duel, Fleet Raider never contacts Firebase.

Purchases and advertising

Fleet Raider contains no advertising and no advertising SDKs.

It offers optional one-time in-app purchases — captains, ships, crew members and duel hosting — bought outright on the item's card in THE STORE. Every item sold can also be used by renting it with doubloons earned in play. Payment is handled entirely by the App Store or Google Play: the game never sees your card, your billing address, or your Apple or Google account. What the game keeps is a record on your device of which items you own, so they stay unlocked, and it sends the developer the purchase events described above (the item, its listed price, and the store's answer) so that store problems can be found and fixed. Restore Purchases, on THE STORE screen and in Settings, asks the store which items this account already owns; nothing about that request is stored anywhere but your device and the store.

If advertising is ever added, this policy will be updated before that version ships.

Children

Fleet Raider is not directed at children under 13, and the developer does not knowingly collect data from them. If you believe a child's data has been sent, write to the address below and it will be deleted.

Retention, security and your choices

Gameplay records are kept only as long as they are useful for balancing and debugging, and are deleted when they are not.
All data is sent over HTTPS.
Because the data carries no identifier but the random device ID, you can end all association with it by deleting and reinstalling the app — a new random ID is generated and the old one is never reused.
You may ask for the records from your device to be deleted. Write to the address below; if you can include the device identifier shown in the game's about screen it can be found faster, but a request without one will still be honoured.

Changes

If this policy changes in a way that affects what is collected, the date at the top will change and the new version will be published here before the version of the game it describes is released.
