Privacy Policy

1. Information we handle

• Google sign-in. If you choose Google sign-in, we request only openid, email and profile. Google may provide your account identifier, email address and verification status, name, profile picture and other basic profile fields. These permissions do not give us access to Gmail messages, Google Drive files, contacts or calendars. We do not receive your Google password.
• Accounts and sessions. We use Supabase for authentication and cloud-save storage. Account identifiers, sign-in provider information and basic profile details are stored with the account. Session credentials are stored on your device to keep you signed in. If you use another offered sign-in provider, such as Discord, we receive the account information that provider shares during sign-in.
• Game progress. Local saves are stored on your device. When you use cloud saves, we store your saved progress, account and device identifiers, device platform label, save timestamps and records used for synchronization, recovery and security.
• Support. If you contact us, we receive your email address and any information you include in your message.

2. How we use and share information

We use account information to sign you in, identify your account and connect it to your cloud saves. We use game and technical information to synchronize and recover progress, maintain the service, investigate problems and prevent abuse. We use support messages to respond to your requests.

Google user data is used only to provide these account features. We do not sell it or use it for advertising. Supabase processes account and cloud-save information to operate these features. The developer may access relevant records for support, recovery and service administration. Information may also be disclosed when required by law.

3. Website hosting and external services

This website is hosted on GitHub Pages. Its download section requests release information from GitHub’s public API. These requests expose ordinary connection information, such as your IP address and browser information, to GitHub under the GitHub Privacy Statement.

The website does not add analytics, advertising trackers or cookies. Fonts and artwork are served with the site. External services you choose to visit, including Google, Discord, GitHub and Ko-fi, have their own privacy policies.

4. Storage and retention

Account and cloud-save records are stored through Supabase; local progress and session information remain on your device. Service providers may process information in countries other than your own. We use authenticated access for cloud saves and restrict access to their storage, but no system can guarantee absolute security.

We keep account information and cloud saves while your account remains active, unless you request deletion. Previous save versions and operational records may be retained for recovery and security. After a deletion request, limited information may remain where needed for legal obligations, security or provider backup retention.

5. Your choices and deletion requests

You can play using local saves without connecting a Google account. You can sign out in the game and revoke Google access through your Google Account connections. Signing out or revoking access does not by itself delete information already stored with your Stellar Refrain account.

To request access, correction or deletion of your account information and cloud saves, email jerryrox@outlook.co.nz. We may ask you to verify account ownership. Deleting cloud saves does not remove copies on your devices; those must be removed locally.

6. Changes and contact

We will publish updates here with a revised date and provide notice of material changes where appropriate. If we introduce a new use of Google user data, we will explain it and obtain any required consent before that use begins.

For privacy questions, contact the Stellar Refrain developer at jerryrox@outlook.co.nz.
