PROTOCOL — Privacy Policy

Effective 31 October 2026, from PROTOCOL 1.0. PROTOCOL is made by ZLCE Apps.

What we collect

To fix bugs and balance the game, PROTOCOL sends anonymous gameplay and diagnostic data: which screens you open, how runs go (sector, score, upgrades picked, how a run ended), in-game spending, which in-app purchases succeed or fail and their price, crash and performance reports, and the device model, iOS version, language and app version.

Each install gets a random ID that is not your Apple ID, advertising ID or device ID. We do not collect your name, email, contacts, location or anything that identifies you, and we do not keep your IP address. We do not use the data for advertising or tracking, and we never sell or share it.

Where it goes

The data is stored by PostHog, our analytics provider, in the United States.

Turning it off

Switch off Settings › Privacy › Share anonymous gameplay data. Sending stops at once and any data still waiting on your iPhone is deleted. Deleting the app also resets the random ID.

What stays on your device

Your progress, settings and purchase records are saved only on your iPhone. Deleting the app deletes them.

Purchases

In-app purchases are handled by Apple through the App Store. We receive no payment or personal details; Apple's privacy policy covers that processing. Restore Purchases asks Apple which items your Apple ID owns.

Children

We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone, including children. The gameplay data above is anonymous.
