Last updated: 1 August 2026 · Effective: 1 August 2026
Sky Guardian: Endless Storm ("the game") is developed and published by KUT Games, a sole proprietorship operated by Emre Özel ("we", "us"). This policy explains what data the game handles, why, and what rights you have over it.
Summary: the game is fully offline and has no accounts, no ads, no in-app purchases and no analytics. It does not ask for your name, email, location, contacts, photos, microphone, camera, or advertising ID. The only data that ever leaves your device is an automatic crash report, sent only if the game crashes.
1. Data stored on your device
Your campaign progress, unlocked ships, upgrades, settings, records, daily streaks and achievements are written to local app storage on your device. This data stays on your device. We cannot see it and it is not backed up to any server we control.
You can erase all of it at any time from Android Settings → Apps → Sky Guardian → Storage → Clear data, or by uninstalling the game. No request to us is needed.
2. Crash reporting (the only data sent off your device)
The game includes Google Firebase Crashlytics so that we can find and fix crashes. It runs only when the game crashes or encounters a fatal error. It is not an analytics product: we do not track what you play, how long you play, which levels you reach, or anything you do inside the game.
What a crash report contains
| Data | Description |
|---|---|
| Stack traces | The technical trace of where in the game's code the crash happened. |
| Application state | The state of the app at the moment of the crash — for example whether it was in the foreground and the screen orientation. |
| Device metadata | Device manufacturer, model, Android version, available memory and similar diagnostic values. This does not include your phone number, IMEI, or any account identifier. |
| Crashlytics installation UUID and Firebase installation ID |
A randomly generated identifier for this installation of the game. Google states that it "does not uniquely identify a user or physical device". It exists so that ten crashes from one phone are not counted as ten affected players. It is reset when you reinstall or clear the app's data. |
| Session and app metadata | Package name, SDK versions, OS information and network connection type, used by Firebase to attribute a crash to a build. |
Purpose and legal basis
Crash reports are used for one purpose only: diagnosing and fixing stability problems in the game. Under the GDPR our legal basis is legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f)) — keeping the game functional and non-crashing — and the equivalent basis under Turkish KVKK Art. 5(2)(f) (legitimate interest of the data controller). No profiling and no automated decision-making is performed.
Who processes it
Crash reports are processed on our behalf by Google (Google Ireland Limited / Google LLC) as our data processor, under the Firebase Data Processing and Security Terms. Data is transmitted over HTTPS and is encrypted in transit. Processing may take place on Google servers outside your country, including in the United States, under Google's standard contractual clauses.
We do not sell, rent, or share crash data with any other third party, and we do not use it for advertising.
Retention
Google retains crash traces and their associated identifiers for 90 days, after which they are deleted automatically. We do not export or separately archive them.
3. What the game does not do
- No user accounts, no sign-in, no email address collected.
- No advertising, no ad SDK, no advertising ID (AAID).
- No in-app purchases and no payment processing.
- No analytics or behavioural tracking SDK.
- No location, contacts, photos, files, microphone, or camera access.
- No social login and no sharing to social networks.
- Community levels are shared as a plain text code that you copy and paste yourself. There is no server, no account, no messaging between players, and nothing is uploaded.
The only Android permission the game declares is INTERNET,
which is required to deliver crash reports. The game itself is fully
playable with no network connection.
4. Children
The game contains no realistic violence, no ads, no purchases and no social features, and is suitable for a general audience. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. Crash reports contain no personal identifiers and are not used to build a profile of any user, child or adult. If you believe a child's personal data has somehow reached us, contact us and we will delete it.
5. Your rights
If you are in the EU/EEA or the UK, the GDPR gives you the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict or object to the processing of your personal data, and to data portability. If you are in Türkiye, KVKK Art. 11 gives you equivalent rights. To exercise any of them, write to the address below.
Deleting your data
- Local save data: you delete it yourself — clear the app's data or uninstall the game. Nothing is retained by us.
- Crash reports: email us at the address below. Because crash reports are not tied to a name or account, please include the device model and the approximate date of the crash so we can identify the record. We will request deletion from Firebase and confirm within 30 days. All crash data is in any case deleted automatically after 90 days.
You may also lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority (in Türkiye, the KVKK Board; in the EU/EEA, your national data protection authority).
6. Changes to this policy
If we change what the game collects — for example if advertising or in-app purchases are ever added — we will update this page and the "Last updated" date above, and update the Data safety declaration on Google Play before releasing that version. Material changes will also be noted in the store release notes.
