Privacy Policy
The short version: Polar Slide does not collect, store or share any personal data. There is no account, no advertising and no analytics. Everything the game saves stays on your iPhone.
What we collect
Nothing. The game has no servers of its own, no sign-in and no third-party analytics, advertising or tracking code. It never asks for permission to track you, and it does not use your location, contacts, camera or microphone.
What stays on your iPhone
Your progress (levels, best times, fish, unlocked riders and tubes, settings and your chosen player name) is saved only on your device. We cannot see it. Deleting the app deletes this data.
Purchases
In-app purchases are handled entirely by Apple through the App Store. We never receive your name, Apple Account, email address or payment details. Apple tells the app only which items you own, so it can unlock them and restore them on your devices. Apple's handling of your purchase is covered by Apple's privacy policy.
Friend challenges
When you choose to challenge a friend, the game creates a link that you share yourself, using the share sheet. The link contains only:
- your recorded run on that level (where your rider was on the course, sampled a few times a second) and your time,
- the level, your rider and tube colours,
- your chosen player name, and only when it is one of the game's ready-made names. Any other name shows as "your friend".
The link never contains typed text, contact details or anything that identifies you or your device. It is not uploaded anywhere by us: it travels only through the app or chat you choose to send it with. When you open a challenge link, the game checks it on your iPhone and ignores anything that does not look like a valid run.
Highlight videos
If you save a highlight video, iOS asks for permission to add it to your Photos library. The game can only add videos; it never reads your library.
Children
Polar Slide is made for players of all ages and works the same for everyone: no account, no chat, no ads and no data collection. Purchases follow the Ask to Buy and Screen Time settings on the device.
Map data
Real-city levels are built into the app from OpenStreetMap data, available under the Open Database License. The game does not contact OpenStreetMap or any map service while you play.

Changes
If a future version of the game changes how data is handled, we will update this page before that version is released and change the date above.
