Privacy Policy — ReefDive

Last updated: 20 September 2026

ReefDive (“the app”) is an arcade game about a diver descending through a flooded temple shaft. This policy explains exactly what happens to your data. It is written to match what the software actually does.

No account, no name, no email

ReefDive has no sign-up and no login. We never ask for your name, email address, phone number, or any other identifier that points to you personally.

When you first open the app it generates a random identifier (16 hexadecimal characters) that is stored only on your device, using the operating system’s standard local app storage (SharedPreferences on Android, NSUserDefaults on iOS). It is not derived from your device, your phone number, or any advertising ID, and it cannot be linked back to you. It is not backed up to iCloud or a Google account, so if you uninstall the app, that identifier is lost and a fresh one is created on reinstall — on both Android and iOS.

Your gameplay progress

Your records, pearls, unlocked cosmetics, streaks, quests, and other in-game progress are stored only on your device, tied to the anonymous identifier above. We do not have a copy of your save file, and switching devices does not carry your progress over, because there is no account to sign into.

Daily leaderboard (optional)

If you play the Daily Dive mode and open the Social panel, your score for that day, how long the run took, and your anonymous identifier are sent to our server so we can rank you against other players and show you the day’s top scores. We do not send your name (we don’t have one) — only the identifier, the score, and the elapsed time.

Friend ghost sharing (optional)

You can share a “ghost” of one of your runs with a friend. Doing so sends the run’s position/depth trail and a short summary (best depth, mode) to our server, which stores it under a random 6-character code. Anyone who enters that code can fetch the trail to race against it. No personal data is attached to a ghost share — only gameplay data and the code itself.

Usage data

The app records gameplay events on your device (for example: app opened, a run started, a run ended, a chest opened, a purchase completed) together with technical context such as app version, platform, OS version, device model, and language. Today these events stay only on your device — they are kept in a rolling buffer of the most recent 500 and are not sent to any server. If we start sending them to our server to help us understand and improve the game, we will update this policy first.

Advertising

ReefDive shows ads through Google AdMob to support free play, and offers rewarded ads you can choose to watch for in-game rewards (such as opening a rare chest). Before requesting any ads, the app asks for your consent through Google’s consent form (required in the EU/UK) and, on iOS 14 and later, asks for App Tracking Transparency permission. If you decline either, you still see ads — they are simply not personalized to you. Ad personalization and measurement (including your device’s advertising identifier) is handled directly between your device and Google under Google’s own privacy policy; we do not receive or store your advertising identifier ourselves.

Purchases

Pearl packs, the ad-removal purchase, the season pass, and breaking your piggy bank are processed by the App Store (Apple) or Google Play, depending on where you installed the app. We never see or receive your payment card, billing address, or Apple ID / Google account details. We use Adapty to manage purchase state: Adapty receives the store’s purchase receipt, the product you bought, and the app’s anonymous identifier (as a customer reference, so your purchases are recognized if you reopen the app), and tells the app which entitlements are active. Collection of your advertising identifier and IP address is switched off in Adapty’s SDK.

Where your data is processed

Our leaderboard and ghost-sharing server functions run on Supabase infrastructure in the United States (us-west-2), and only receive data when you use those specific features. Purchase state is managed by Adapty. Ads are served by Google AdMob. Each of these providers processes data on our behalf, or directly with your device in the case of AdMob.

Children

ReefDive is a general-audience game and is not specifically directed to children. We do not ask for or knowingly collect a name, email address, or any other personal identifier from anyone, regardless of age — there is no account of any kind. If you believe a child’s device identifier should be removed from our leaderboard or ghost-share records, contact us at the address below.

Your choices

• Delete your data. Because we hold no account, write to us with your device’s identifier (find it in Settings inside the app) and we will delete the leaderboard and ghost-share records associated with it.
• Stop collection. Uninstalling the app removes everything stored on your device and ends all data collection.

Changes

If we change what the app collects, we will update this page and the “last updated” date above.
