Our Commitment
Neon54 is an offline tower defense game. We collect the minimum information necessary to deliver a stable experience and nothing more. Your gameplay data stays on your device. We do not sell, share, or transmit personal information to any third party.
What We Store on Your Device
All data is stored locally using standard iOS/Android platform APIs:
- Onboarding flag — A single boolean value (
grove_onboarding_complete) stored in SharedPreferences. Records whether you have completed the introductory tutorial so we can skip it on future launches. Contains no personal information. - Game progress — Level completion status, rune balances, star ratings, and Grove Bazaar upgrade purchases are stored in a local SQLite database (sqflite KvStore). This data never leaves your device.
- Preferences — Settings such as Reduced Motion, Color-blind Mode, Range Indicators, and notification preferences are stored in SharedPreferences locally.
Session Initialisation Request
When the app first launches, it sends a single lightweight request to our server to determine whether a web-based session applies to your account. This request includes:
- Device identifier — A hardware identifier sourced from
device_info_plus(iOS:identifierForVendor). This resets if you reinstall the app. It is used solely to initialise the session and is not stored beyond the response. - Locale — Your device locale string (e.g.
en_AU), used to serve correctly localised content. - Device model — e.g.
iPhone16,2, used for compatibility checks only. - App version — The installed version string, used to detect outdated clients.
The server responds with a routing decision. No personal data from this request is retained in logs beyond standard server infrastructure TTLs (72 hours maximum).
Push Notifications
Neon54 may request permission to send local push notifications to remind you when daily rune rewards are available. This permission is entirely optional. If granted, notification scheduling happens entirely on-device — no notification content or schedule is transmitted to our servers. You can revoke permission at any time from your device Settings.
No Advertising or Analytics
Neon54 contains no advertising networks, no crash-reporting SDKs (e.g. Firebase, Crashlytics), no analytics platforms (e.g. Amplitude, Mixpanel), and no social-media SDKs. The only network activity is the single session-initialisation request described above.
Children's Privacy
Neon54 does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 (or the applicable age in your jurisdiction). Because the app stores no personal data and conducts no user tracking, it is safe for players of all ages.
Your Rights
Because Neon54 stores all gameplay data locally on your device, you can delete all associated data at any time simply by uninstalling the app. There is no account system and no server-side user profile to request deletion of.
If you have questions about the session-initialisation request, please contact us at [email protected].
Changes to This Policy
If we update this Privacy Policy, we will revise the effective date shown above. Continued use of the app after any changes constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
