Privacy Policy
For the game Shardsling and this website. Last updated 13 October 2026.
In short: we don't collect your personal data. Your progress is saved on your phone. Purchases go through Google Play, and leaderboards through Google Play Games if you use them, under Google's privacy policy. No analytics, no account.
Who we are
Shardsling is made by Glintworks, an independent game developer. If you have any question about this policy or your data, write to hello@glintworks.games.
What stays on your phone
The game saves the following on your device only. It is never sent to us:
- your progress: best wave, coins, unlocked comets, planets and themes, goal progress and statistics, and your Daily Orbit history and streak;
- a run in progress, so you can continue where you left off;
- your settings (sound, music, vibration);
- the order numbers of coin packs you bought, so each purchase is credited exactly once.
Uninstalling the game deletes all of it.
Purchases (Google Play)
Coin packs are sold through Google Play's billing system. Google handles the payment; we never see your card or payment details. The game receives a confirmation of the purchase from Google so it can add your coins. Google processes this under the Google Privacy Policy.
Leaderboards (Google Play Games)
If you're signed in to Google Play Games, the game submits your best wave and your Daily Orbit result to its leaderboards. The rankings are shown on Google's own leaderboard screen, where other players can see your Play Games gamer name and score; the game itself doesn't read your profile. You can manage this, or turn it off, in the Google Play Games app or your Google account. If you don't use Play Games, nothing is sent.
Sharing results
The Share button opens your phone's share menu with a short text summary of your Daily Orbit result. Nothing is sent unless you choose an app and send it yourself.
What we don't do
- No account or sign-up with us.
- No analytics, tracking or crash-reporting services.
- We don't sell or share personal data, because we don't collect any.
Children
Shardsling is a general-audience game and isn't directed at children under 13. We don't knowingly collect any personal information from anyone, including children.
