What the game keeps, and where

Everything the game keeps is in its own folder on your device, and nowhere else:

• your games in progress, Nell's album and your settings;
• your coins and boosters;
• on iPhone, iPad and Android, a record of each purchase: what was bought, the store's transaction number (on Android, Google Play's purchase token) and dates. The game needs it to add what you bought exactly once, and on iPhone and iPad to take it back if Apple refunds the purchase.

While it runs, the game also writes a technical log on your device, as most apps do. It stays on your device.

Device backups. If your device backs up its apps (iCloud Backup on iPhone and iPad, or Android's backup to your Google account), the backup can include the game's folder. Apple's and Google's privacy policies cover those backups.

What the game sends

Postcard Peaks has no server of its own, and no accounts, analytics, advertising or crash-reporting services, so the game sends nothing to us. The game is made with the Unity engine, and Unity's online services (analytics, ads, crash and performance reporting) are switched off, and so are Unity's hardware statistics.

The game's only outside communication is with the stores, for purchases and purchase-related checks (the coin packs' prices when you open the shop, and your purchases when the game starts):

• iPhone and iPad: the game asks Apple's StoreKit for the coin packs and their prices, and for a purchase, the product you chose. With each purchase it also gives Apple a random purchase ID it makes for that purchase alone (a new UUID every time, StoreKit's "app account token"), so it can match Apple's answer to the purchase it started. It names the purchase, not you: it isn't tied to you, your device or any account, and the game has none. Apple gets what any App Store purchase gives it (your Apple Account, the product, the payment), under Apple's privacy policy.
• Android: the game includes Google's Play Billing Library. It asks Google Play for the coin packs and their prices, opens Google Play's purchase sheet for the product you chose, and tells Google Play once the game has added a purchase. When you buy coins, it also gives Google Play a random purchase ID it makes for that purchase alone (as the purchase's "obfuscated account ID"). It isn't tied to you, your device or any account; Google Play returns it with the purchase, so the game can match the purchase to the request that made it. The library also sends Google its own diagnostics about how it's working. Google gets what any Google Play purchase gives it, under Google's privacy policy.
• Mac: nothing is sold, so none of this happens.

The game doesn't use Game Center or Google Play Games.

Purchases

• iPhone and iPad: you can buy coin packs and the Starter Bundle through Apple's App Store. Apple handles the payment and your Apple Account: we never see your name, email address or payment details. Apple tells the game what you bought, and about any refund, so that it can add or take back the coins and boosters. Apple's privacy policy covers what Apple does.
• Android: you can buy the same coin packs and the Starter Bundle through Google Play. Google Play handles the payment and your Google account: we never see your name, email address or payment details. Google Play tells the game what you bought, so that it can add the coins and boosters. It doesn't tell the game about refunds.
• Mac: the game doesn't sell anything. Coins are earned by playing.

The game keeps the record of each purchase on your device, as described above.

Crash reports from Apple and Google

If you've chosen, in your device's settings, to share analytics with app developers, Apple or Google may give us crash reports and usage figures for the game. They don't include your name or contact details. The game adds nothing to them. Apple's and Google's privacy policies describe them.

If you email us

Writing to us is up to you. If you do, we get your email address and whatever you write. We use them only to reply to you, and we delete them if you ask. Our support address is a Gmail address, so Google carries and stores the email too, under Google's privacy policy.

This website

This page, the support page and the game's page run no scripts and no analytics, and we set no cookies. They're hosted by Cloudflare, which handles your IP address to deliver the pages, as any web host does. We don't look at Cloudflare's records of visits; Cloudflare's privacy policy covers them.

Children

The game collects nothing about anyone, children included: it has no accounts, no chat, no ads and no tracking.

Deleting your data

Everything is on your device, so you're in control of it:

• iPhone, iPad and Android: delete the game. On Android you can also clear its storage instead: Settings, then Apps, Postcard Peaks, Storage, Clear storage.
• Backups: deleting the game doesn't delete backups already made. An iCloud Backup or a Google backup can still hold the game's folder until you delete that backup, in iCloud's or Google's settings.
• Mac: delete the app and its folder ~/Library/Application Support/Thira Games/Postcard Peaks. The engine may also keep the window size in ~/Library/Preferences/unity.Thira Games.Postcard Peaks.plist, and the last run's log in ~/Library/Logs/Thira Games/Postcard Peaks.
• In the game: Settings, then About, Reset progress clears every game in progress: its stops, stars, postcards and Nell's album. It keeps your settings, your coins and boosters, the record of your purchases, and which one-time rewards have been paid (so none pays twice).
• Purchases: Apple keeps your purchase history in your Apple Account, and Google Play in your Google account. Ask them about it.

Changes

When this policy changes, we update the date at the top and say what changed.

11 November 2026: We moved this page to the game's new site and removed mentions of the download page.
