Information we collect
None. The Universe, Controlled does not require an account and does not collect personal information. We do not ask for, or receive, your name, email address, phone number, contacts, location, photos, or any other personally identifiable information. We do not link anything to your Apple ID, your device ID, your advertising identifier, or any other identifier that could be used to recognize you.
No analytics, no telemetry, no tracking
The app contains no analytics SDKs, no advertising, no third-party tracking, and no usage telemetry. It does not count your taps, log how many craft you land (or crash), or send any record of how you play to us or to anyone else. We do not operate a server that receives data from the app, and there is nothing to opt out of because nothing is being sent.
Information stored on your device
Your preferences, like music and sound-effect volume, whether the game plays when your device is on silent, and whether flying obstacles are turned on, are stored locally on your device using the operating system’s standard on-device storage. This information never leaves your device, is never transmitted to us, and is removed when you delete the app.
Links out of the app
If you tap a link inside the app, such as More Games and Apps, it opens in Apple’s App Store or your web browser. Anything that happens there is governed by that service’s own privacy policy, including Apple’s. The app itself doesn’t send anything along with the link.

Contacting us
If you choose to contact us through our support page or by email at lex@lexfriedman.com, we will of course see your email address and the content of your message. We use that only to respond to you. We do not add you to any mailing list, and we do not share your email with anyone.
Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act compliance
The app collects no information from anyone, including children under 13. Because nothing is collected, there is nothing to maintain, disclose, or delete.
California Online Privacy Protection Act compliance
We comply with the California Online Privacy Protection Act. We do not distribute personal information to outside parties, primarily because we don’t collect any to begin with.
Information for European Union users
Because The Universe, Controlled does not collect personal data, GDPR data-subject requests (access, deletion, portability) would return nothing about you. Your on-device settings stay on your device.
Changes to this policy
If this policy ever changes, the updated version will be posted on this page and the “Effective” date at the top will reflect the most recent revision. Your continued use of the app after a change constitutes your acceptance of it.
