PRIVACY POLICY

Overview

Rail Slingshot ("we", "us", or "the app") is a native mobile game published by Johan Andersson and distributed through the Apple App Store and Google Play.

We do not operate user accounts and we do not store your game progress on our servers. All gameplay data stays on your device unless you choose to share something through your device's built-in share feature.

No account or sign-in is required to play. By using the app you also agree to our User Agreement.

What Data We Store Locally

The following information is stored on your device only. We do not transmit it to our servers:

Game progress — High scores, Endless mode best survival time, current level (1–200), coins, unlocked vehicles, vehicle condition, upgrades, shop progress, daily login streak, play-time bonuses, and optional ad coin bonus counts.
App settings — Sound on/off, easier shooting mode, shooting demo card visibility, tutorial completion, and similar in-app preferences.
Ad frequency preferences — Local counters that limit how often full-screen ads may appear (for example, after several completed runs, with a minimum time between shows). Stored on your device only.

We do not offer cloud save, account sync, or backup of your game progress. If you uninstall the app or delete your data, your progress is lost.

Data Retention

Local data remains on your device until you delete it using the Settings page, or until you uninstall the app. Uninstalling the app removes locally stored game data from your device.

Share Score

If you choose to share your score, your device's native share sheet is used. We do not receive or store shared content.

Advertising

Rail Slingshot uses Google AdMob to show ads in the native mobile app only (not in a web browser). Ads help support development of the game. The app may show the following ad types:

Banner ads — Small ads at the bottom of the screen during active gameplay. Banners are hidden on the game over screen so results and buttons stay readable.
Rewarded video ads (optional) — You choose whether to watch. Used for optional double coins after a run, bonus coins in the shop (limited per day), and discounted train repair. Never required to play.
Interstitial ads (full-screen) — May appear when you leave a run via menu or shop (not immediately on game over). Shown at most roughly every fifth completed run after your first few runs, with at least about three minutes between shows. Your coins and progress are always saved first.

When ads are shown, Google and its partners may collect information such as device identifiers (including the advertising ID on Android where permitted), ad interaction data, IP address, and approximate location to serve, measure, and personalize ads (where permitted by law).

On iOS, you may be asked to allow app tracking for personalized ads through Apple's App Tracking Transparency (ATT) prompt. You can change this later in your device Settings.

In certain regions, including the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom, and Switzerland, Google may show a consent form before personalized ads are displayed. You can review or change your ad privacy choices at any time from the app's Settings page using Manage ad privacy choices.

Learn more in Google's Privacy Policy and how Google uses data in AdMob. You can also manage ad preferences at Google Ad Settings.

Your Choices

Rewarded ads are always optional — you choose whether to watch them.
You can manage ad consent and privacy choices in Settings.
You can delete all locally stored app data at any time (see Data Deletion below).
You can limit ad tracking through your device's privacy settings (iOS/Android).

What We Do NOT Collect

Your name, email address, or any contact information (unless you email us for support)
Payment or financial information — the app has no in-app purchases
An account or sign-in requirement to play
Cloud backup of your game progress on our servers
Selling or sharing your game progress with third parties

Children

Rail Slingshot is not directed at children under 13 (or the minimum age required in your country). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will assist with deletion where applicable.

Data Deletion

You can permanently delete locally stored app data at any time from the Settings page using the Delete All Data button. This removes your progress, settings, tutorial state, and ad frequency counters from your device.

This action cannot be undone. Ad consent choices managed by Google may need to be updated separately through Manage ad privacy choices in Settings or through your device settings.

International Users

If you are in the EEA, UK, or Switzerland, you may have rights regarding personal data processed by Google as an advertising partner. We do not receive copies of that data. For questions about data we control (local game data on your device), contact us using the email below.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top will reflect any changes. Continued use of the app after changes means you accept the updated policy.

USER AGREEMENT

Agreement

This User Agreement ("Agreement") is between you and Johan Andersson ("we", "us", or "the developer") for the mobile game Rail Slingshot (the "App"), available on the Apple App Store and Google Play.

By downloading, installing, or using the App, you agree to this Agreement and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the App.

The Game

Rail Slingshot is a free-to-play arcade game with 200 campaign levels and an optional Endless mode unlocked after you complete level 200. The App includes a shooting practice mode, vehicle upgrades, daily rewards, and local progress saving on your device.

There are no in-app purchases. The App is supported by advertising (see Privacy Policy). Game balance, levels, and features may change in updates.

License

We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the App for private, non-commercial entertainment on devices you own or control, subject to the rules of the App Store or Google Play and this Agreement.

You may not copy, modify, reverse engineer, decompile, sell, rent, or redistribute the App or its content except as allowed by applicable law or store terms.

Your Responsibilities

Use the App lawfully and respectfully.
Do not cheat, exploit bugs for unfair advantage, or interfere with ads or App security.
You are responsible for activity on your device and for keeping your device secure.
Progress is stored locally — we are not responsible for lost progress if you uninstall, reset, or delete data.

Age Requirement

The App is intended for users aged 13 and older (or the minimum age required in your country). If you are under the required age, you may use the App only with a parent or guardian's permission.

Intellectual Property

The App, including graphics, audio, code, and the "Rail Slingshot" name, is owned by Johan Andersson and protected by copyright and other laws. This Agreement does not give you ownership of any part of the App.

Third-Party Software

The App includes open-source and third-party software (for example React, Capacitor, UI libraries, and Google AdMob) under their respective licenses. Game graphics and procedural sound effects are original to this App unless noted in our Third-Party Licenses page (also available in Settings).

We use only permissive open-source licenses in the published app. Copyleft licenses (such as GPL or AGPL) are not included in what you download.

Disclaimer

The App is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, to the fullest extent permitted by law. We do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation on every device.

Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Johan Andersson shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising from your use of the App, including loss of progress, data, or device issues. Our total liability for any claim relating to the App shall not exceed the amount you paid for the App (which is zero for the free version).

Termination

You may stop using the App at any time by uninstalling it. You can delete all local data in Settings using Delete All Data.

We may stop offering or update the App at any time. Store providers (Apple, Google) have their own terms for downloads and refunds.

Changes

We may update this Agreement. The "Last updated" date will change when we do. Continued use after changes means you accept the updated Agreement.
