sky fury · privacy policy
Last updated: 14 October 2026 · Published by Aksial Technologies AS
Sky Fury is a single-player arcade game. We designed it to collect as little about you as possible. We do not ask you to create an account, and we do not ask for your name, email, or any personal profile. This policy explains the anonymous gameplay statistics the game sends to us and the limited data handled by the third-party services the game uses.
What the game itself collects
Your campaign progress, high scores, settings, and the optional in-game flight log are stored only on your device.
Anonymous gameplay statistics
Unless you switch it off, the game sends anonymous statistics about how it is played to Aksial's own server (admin.aksial.io). We use them to understand how the game is played, for example which stages players reach. They describe events in the game: the app being opened and how long a session lasted; each stage started and ended (stage, difficulty, whether it was flown in the campaign or as a single-stage sortie, how it was entered, the stage the run began at, the lives, bombs and weapon level it started with, result, time, score earned in the stage, enemies destroyed, times shot down, best combo, medals, bombs used, highest weapon level, and whether it was the day's first clear, which earns double supply); whether an act-intro flight was skipped; which button was chosen after being shot down; whether an ad was shown, and the outcome of a Remove Ads purchase or restore; changes to the game's settings; opening the leaderboards; and opening the HANGAR (and from which screen), the upgrades fitted there and whether its one-time tutorial was followed.
Each batch carries a random identifier that the app generates for your installation, plus the app version, the iOS version and the device model (for example "iPhone17,3"). The statistics contain no name, email address, account, advertising identifier (IDFA), location or anything you type. Our server does not store your IP address (as with any internet request, the server sees it while the statistics are delivered). The statistics are not linked to your identity, are not used for tracking or advertising, and are not sold.
They are stored in Aksial's own database, which our hosting providers (Vercel and Supabase) run for us, and are kept for up to 24 months, then deleted.
You can switch this off at any time with SHARE STATS in the game's settings (from the main menu or the pause screen). Switching it off sends one final message recording that you opted out; then all sending stops, statistics not yet sent are deleted from your device, and the random identifier is deleted. If you switch it back on, a new identifier is created, so earlier statistics cannot be connected to new ones. Statistics we have already received stay until the 24-month limit; because the identifier is random and has been deleted from your device, we cannot tell which of them came from you.
Third-party services
The game relies on three third-party services. Each has its own privacy policy, linked below.
1. Advertising: Google AdMob
Sky Fury shows ads supplied by Google AdMob unless Remove Ads has been bought. To serve ads, Google may process device information such as a device advertising identifier, IP address, and ad-interaction data.
- Ads are served non-personalized (contextual) by default: the game does not request App Tracking Transparency permission and does not track you across other apps or websites for advertising.
- In the EEA, the UK, and Switzerland, a consent form (Google UMP) appears before ads load, so you can grant or decline consent for data processing.
- Ad content is rated for a teen audience.
- Google's handling of this data: policies.google.com/privacy and how Google uses data.
Buying "Remove Ads" stops this entirely: once purchased, the ad SDK is not initialized and no ad-related data is processed.
2. Leaderboards: Apple Game Center
If you are signed in to Game Center, your scores are submitted to Apple's Game Center leaderboards under your Game Center identity. This is handled by Apple. See apple.com/legal/privacy.
3. Purchases: Apple in-app purchase
The optional one-time "Remove Ads" purchase is processed by Apple through the App Store. We never see or store your payment details. Apple provides us only anonymous, aggregate sales information.
Privacy safeguards
- No account, name, email, or contact info is requested or stored.
- No third-party analytics or crash-reporting SDKs: the anonymous gameplay statistics described above are sent only to Aksial.
- No cross-app or cross-site tracking; no App Tracking Transparency prompt.
- The on-device flight log (an optional diagnostic) never leaves your device.
Children
Sky Fury is rated for teens and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Your choices
- EEA/UK/CH consent can be changed or withdrawn at any time via the Privacy Options button in the game's main menu.
- Gameplay statistics can be switched off at any time with SHARE STATS in the game's settings.
- Remove ads with the one-time purchase to end all ad data processing.
- Device controls: you can reset your advertising identifier or limit ad tracking in your device's privacy settings.
Changes
We may update this policy as the app evolves. Material changes will be reflected here with a new "Last updated" date.
