Version 1.1.2 (2026-11-14) · In effect from 14 November 2026
This policy covers Spaceport Tycoon and its web pages, provided by Steelyard Ventures LLC.
1. The short version
- Your game stays on your device. The games have no accounts, no game server and no cloud save. Your progress, chips, purchase records, spending limits and settings are stored only on the device where you play. We never receive them.
- No analytics, no ads, no tracking. The games contain no analytics, advertising or tracking tools, and no third-party software that collects data. We do not track you across apps or websites, and we do not sell or share personal information.
- Apple and Google handle payments. We never receive your card or bank details.
- We receive personal information in only two ways: when you contact us, and in the sales and refund reports the stores give us.
2. Who is responsible
Steelyard Ventures LLC, 2121 TW Alexander Dr, Ste 124 #475, Morrisville, NC 27560, United States, is responsible for the personal information described here (the "controller"). Our business phone number is shown with our trader details on each game's App Store and Google Play page in the European Union.
Contact for privacy questions and requests: the Privacy Officer, Steelyard Ventures LLC, through our contact page.
The Privacy Officer is also the person in charge of the protection of personal information for the purposes of Quebec law.
3. Information that stays on your device
The games store the following on your device so that they work. None of it is sent to us, and we cannot see, recover or delete it.
| Game | Stored on your device |
|---|---|
| Spaceport Tycoon | Your port and its progress, Moon Rocks, settings, a record of Moon Rock purchases already added, random identifiers kept in the save and in the device Keychain that tell your port and its saves apart, and the device clock reading used to measure time away |
Why it is stored. Storing this information on your device is strictly necessary to give you the game you asked for, so no consent is needed for it.
How long. It stays until you delete it: through the game's own settings where they exist, by clearing the game's data, or by deleting the game. Device backups may contain copies, depending on your device settings; some games exclude their data from backups.
4. What the games send, and to whom
- Purchases. To show prices and to buy and restore items, the games use Apple's in-app purchase system (StoreKit) or Google Play Billing. These connect to Apple or Google, not to us. The game receives from the store the purchase status, the product, a transaction identifier and the store country, and checks the store's signed purchase record. Google Play Billing also sends Google technical diagnostics such as app and Android versions, device model, language, network information and billing-operation details.
- Web links. When you tap a link to these Terms, this policy or a support page, your browser opens our website (see section 7).
- Nothing else. The games make no other network connections.
5. Payments: Apple and Google
Apple and Google run the checkout and process your payment as independent controllers under their own privacy policies:
- Apple: apple.com/legal/privacy
- Google: policies.google.com/privacy
They give us sales, payout and refund reports. Apple's reports do not identify you. Google Play's order records can include the order number, product, price, date, country, state or postal area, refund status and any other buyer details Google chooses to include. We use these reports to keep accounts, meet tax and legal duties, answer purchase questions, handle withdrawals and refunds, and prevent fraud.
6. When you contact us
If you contact us, we receive your email address, your message and anything you attach. We use them to answer you, handle your request (including a withdrawal, refund or complaint), keep a record of it and improve the games. Please do not send passwords, full card numbers, identity documents or other sensitive information.
If we refund you directly (Terms, Sections 7.5 and 14.3), we use the payment details you choose to give us (for example a bank account or a PayPal address) only to pay you, and keep them with the refund record.
You never have to give us personal information to play. If you want us to handle a withdrawal or another request through our contact page, we need your email address and the store's order number.
7. Our website
Our web pages are hosted by Cloudflare. When you open them, Cloudflare processes connection information such as your IP address and browser details to deliver and protect the pages. The pages use no advertising, analytics or tracking cookies. Our contact page uses a Google Form, which Google processes under its own privacy policy.
8. Legal bases (EEA, United Kingdom and Switzerland)
| Purpose | Legal basis |
|---|---|
| Answering your emails and requests, and using problem reports to fix and improve the games | Our legitimate interest in helping players and improving the games; performing our contract with you where your request concerns a purchase |
| Handling withdrawals, refunds and complaints, and keeping records of them | Legal obligation; performing our contract |
| Accounting and tax from store reports | Our legitimate interest in meeting our United States tax and accounting duties; legal obligation where EU or UK law requires it |
| Preventing fraud and abuse of purchases | Legitimate interest in protecting players and our business |
| Delivering and securing the website | Legitimate interest in running a secure website |
Where we rely on legitimate interests, you may object (section 11).
9. How long we keep information
- Support emails: up to 24 months after the matter is closed.
- Records of withdrawals, refunds, complaints and legal notices: as long as tax, accounting and limitation rules require, normally up to 6 years.
- Store reports: as long as tax and accounting rules require, normally up to 7 years.
- Website connection data: as kept by Cloudflare for delivery and security, normally a short period.
We may keep information longer only where we need it to establish, exercise or defend a legal claim.
10. Who we share information with
- Service providers who process information for us under contract: Cloudflare, Inc., which receives our email and hosts our website, and Google LLC, which provides our mailbox.
- Apple and Google, when we deal with them about your purchase or refund.
- Authorities, courts and advisers, where the law requires it or to protect our rights.
- A successor, if a game or our business is transferred; this policy will continue to protect your information.
We do not sell personal information, share it for cross-context behavioural advertising, or use it for profiling or automated decisions with legal or similarly significant effects.
11. Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:
- access the personal information we hold about you and receive a copy;
- correct it;
- delete it;
- restrict or object to its use;
- receive it in a portable format;
- withdraw consent where we rely on consent; and
- complain to a data protection or privacy authority, for example the authority where you live or work in the EEA, the Information Commissioner's Office in the United Kingdom, the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner in Switzerland, the Commission d'accès à l'information in Quebec or the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada.
Your right to object. Where we rely on our legitimate interests (section 8), you may object at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to our use of your personal information. We will then stop, unless we have compelling legitimate grounds that override your interests, rights and freedoms, or we need the information to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.
To use a right, contact Steelyard through our contact page. We answer within one month, or sooner if your law requires. We may ask for information to confirm that a request is yours. We will not treat you differently for using your rights.
Information on your device. Because we never receive it, we cannot access or delete it for you. You control it: delete it through the game's settings where they exist, by clearing the game's data, or by deleting the game.
12. International transfers
We are based in the United States. When you contact us or open our web pages, your information comes to us and to our service providers in the United States. Cloudflare, Inc., which receives our email and hosts our web pages, and Google LLC, which provides our mailbox, process it in the United States and take part in the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, its UK Extension and the Swiss-U.S. Data Privacy Framework.
13. Children
Spaceport Tycoon may be used by younger players with a parent's or guardian's permission; it collects no personal information from them. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If a child has emailed us, a parent or guardian can ask us to delete the message.
14. Security
We keep the information we hold with reputable providers that use encryption and access controls, and we limit who can see it. Your on-device game data is protected by your device's own security.
15. Changes to this policy
If our practices change, we will update this policy and the date above. If a change is significant, we will tell you in the game before it applies. If we ever add accounts, a server, analytics or advertising, we will update this policy before that change reaches you.
Details for this game
Your game stays on this device
Spaceport Tycoon saves your port on this device: Credits, Supplies, Moon Rocks, buildings and levels, workers and housing, eras, goals, Explore trips, tour choices, settings and a record of the Moon Rock purchases already added. Random identifiers, kept in the save and in this device’s Keychain, tell your port and its saves apart, and the device clock measures time away for offline earnings. None of this is sent to Steelyard. We do not run a game server, accounts or a cloud save.
Moon Rock purchases
Moon Rock packs are optional. Apple runs the checkout and processes the payment; the app never receives your card details. Each purchase carries a random purchase identifier for your port so the app can add it to the right port. It is not your name or your Apple Account. The app checks Apple’s signed purchase record and saves its transaction number on this device, to prevent a purchase being added twice. Apple’s own privacy policy covers what Apple keeps about your purchases.
No ads or tracking
This version has no ads and no analytics or advertising SDKs, and it does not track you across apps or websites. It does not ask for your microphone, camera, location, contacts, photos or health data. Gameplay works offline. Showing pack prices and buying a pack use Apple’s in-app purchase system, which connects to Apple. If you allow it in your device’s privacy settings, Apple may share crash reports with us.
Reset and delete
Settings → Reset port starts a new port. The old port is archived on this device, and your Moon Rocks and purchase records carry over.
Settings → Delete my data removes this app’s game files from the device, including your port, your Moon Rocks and their purchase records, and creates new random identifiers. Moon Rocks, including purchased ones, cannot be restored afterwards. Delete my data cannot run while a purchase is in progress.
After Delete my data, the old purchase identifier stays in this device’s Keychain and is not synced. It is used only to add a purchase that Apple approves later, such as one waiting for a parent’s approval, to your new port once. A local erasure date also stays, so old progress is not silently restored. Sound, haptic and motion preferences remain.
Neither action erases separate Apple backups, which may include the game files depending on your settings. There is no cross-device sync, save export or remote recovery.
Website and support information
Opening these support or privacy pages sends normal web-request information, such as your IP address and browser information, to our website host, Cloudflare. These pages do not add advertising or analytics scripts. Our contact page uses a Google Form, which Google processes under its own privacy policy. If you contact us, we receive the contact details and content you choose to send. We use correspondence to answer requests, investigate issues and meet applicable obligations. There is no fixed automatic expiry. Deleting the game does not delete correspondence already sent; you may ask us to delete information we hold.
Contact
For help or a privacy request, write to us through our contact page with “Spaceport Tycoon” in the subject. If you contact us, we receive the contact details and message you choose to send. Please don’t send passwords or card details. For a charge or a refund, use Apple’s Report a Problem page. We keep correspondence only as long as needed to answer you and meet legal obligations, and you may ask us to delete information we hold. We cannot reach or delete the save on your device.
