Privacy Policy
Last updated 21 October 2026
Orbit Hop does not ask who you are. There is no account, no sign-in, and nothing you type is sent anywhere. Your progress stays on your device. The one exception is advertising: the game shows ads from Google AdMob, and Google receives data when it does. This page explains exactly what that means.
Who is responsible
Orbit Hop is published by an individual developer. For any question about this policy or your data, write to kakimind@gmail.com.
What the game stores on your device
The game keeps a handful of values in local storage inside the app. They never leave your device — the game itself makes no network requests of its own.
| Stored as | What it holds |
|---|---|
oh_meta | Stars, moons you own, the moon you have equipped, daily mission progress, and how many times the app has been opened |
oh_language | The language you chose |
oh_sound, oh_shake | Sound and screen-shake settings |
oh_rated | Whether the review prompt has already been offered, so it is not shown again |
pt_code | A random code used to label playtest records. It is generated on your device and is not derived from you, your device, or any account |
pt_orbit | Your scores, run lengths and session times |
Uninstalling the app, or clearing its data in Android settings, erases all of it. There is no copy anywhere else, which also means there is nothing to restore it from.
What is never collected
- No name, email address, phone number or postal address
- No account, sign-in or social login
- No contacts, photos, files, microphone or camera
- No GPS or precise location
- No analytics or crash-reporting SDK — the app does not include one
The app requests only the permissions the advertising SDK needs: internet and network state, and the Android advertising APIs described below. It does not request any runtime permission from you.
Advertising
Orbit Hop shows ads supplied by Google AdMob: a banner at the bottom of the screen, and optional rewarded video you can choose to watch to continue a run or to collect stars. Rewarded ads are never forced — nothing in the game is locked behind them, and declining one only means you do not get that reward.
To serve and measure those ads, Google receives information from your device. Google, not the developer, decides what that is and how it is used. It typically includes:
- Your device's advertising ID, and other device and app identifiers
- Device and network information such as model, OS version, language and IP address — from which an approximate location (roughly, your city or region) can be inferred
- Interaction with the ads themselves: that an ad was shown, viewed or tapped
The developer does not receive any of this. What is visible to the developer is aggregate reporting in the AdMob dashboard — totals such as impressions and revenue — which does not identify individual players.
Google's handling of this data is governed by its own policies:
How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services
Google Privacy Policy
Your choices about ads
- Reset or delete your advertising ID. On Android: Settings → Privacy → Ads. Deleting it stops personalised advertising on the device.
- In the EEA, the UK and Switzerland, a consent screen from Google is shown before personalised ads are used, and your choice there governs how Google may use your data. You can change it later from that same screen.
- Play the game offline. The whole game works without a connection. No ad is requested and no ad data is sent — rewarded ads simply cannot be watched, so those rewards are unavailable.
Other Google services in the app
In-app review. If you tap "Rate this game" in Settings, Google Play opens its own review dialog. Anything you write there goes to Google Play, not to the game. The game is never told whether you wrote a review — only that the dialog was opened, which is why the option is offered once and then stops appearing.
Sharing your score. The share button hands a short line of text — your score — to whichever app you pick from the Android share sheet. The game does not see where it goes, and sends nothing itself. Nothing is shared unless you tap share and choose an app.
Children
Orbit Hop is not directed at children under 13, and the developer does not knowingly collect data from them. If you believe a child has provided personal data through this app, contact kakimind@gmail.com and it will be addressed.
Your rights
Because the game stores nothing about you on any server, the developer holds no personal data to look up, export or delete. You control the on-device data directly by clearing the app's data or uninstalling it.
For the advertising data Google holds, use Google's own controls — the ad settings on your device, the consent screen described above, and My Ad Center. Depending on where you live you may have rights under the GDPR, the UK GDPR, the CCPA or similar laws, including access, correction and deletion. For anything within the developer's control, write to the address above.
Changes to this policy
If the app starts doing something this page does not describe, this page is updated before that version is released, and the date at the top changes with it.
한국어 요약 (Korean summary)
Orbit Hop은 이름·이메일·전화번호를 묻지 않습니다. 계정도 로그인도 없습니다. 설정과 진행도(스타, 보유 위성, 일일 미션, 기록, 선택한 언어)는 기기 안에만 저장되며 게임 자체는 외부로 아무 요청도 보내지 않습니다. 앱을 삭제하거나 앱 데이터를 지우면 전부 사라지고, 다른 곳에 사본이 없으므로 복구할 방법도 없습니다.
광고는 Google AdMob을 사용합니다. 하단 배너와, 이어하기·스타 충전을 위해 직접 선택해서 보는 보상형 광고가 있습니다. 광고를 보지 않아도 게임은 전부 플레이할 수 있습니다. 광고 송출과 측정을 위해 Google이 광고 ID, 기기·네트워크 정보(기종, OS, 언어, IP 주소에서 추정되는 대략적인 지역), 광고 노출·클릭 기록을 받습니다. 개발자는 이 정보를 받지 않으며, AdMob 대시보드의 합계 수치(노출 수, 수익 등)만 봅니다.
광고 ID는 기기 설정 → 개인정보 보호 → 광고에서 재설정하거나 삭제할 수 있습니다. 유럽경제지역·영국·스위스에서는 맞춤형 광고 전에 Google의 동의 화면이 표시되며 이후에도 같은 화면에서 변경할 수 있습니다. 오프라인에서는 광고 요청 자체를 하지 않습니다 (대신 보상형 광고 보상도 받을 수 없습니다).
설정의 리뷰 남기기는 Google Play의 리뷰 창을 엽니다. 작성한 내용은 Play로 가며 게임은 받지 않습니다. 공유 버튼은 점수 한 줄을 사용자가 고른 앱에 넘길 뿐이고, 게임이 따로 전송하는 것은 없습니다.
분석·크래시 수집 SDK는 포함돼 있지 않고, 위치·연락처·사진·마이크·카메라 권한도 요청하지 않습니다. 만 13세 미만을 대상으로 하지 않습니다.
