This privacy policy applies to the Fly By app for Android and iOS devices, together with any related services operated by Jed Simpson (collectively, the "Application"). Jed Simpson is hereby referred to as the "Service Provider".
The Application does not have user accounts or passwords and does not ask for your email address or contact details. The only information you can choose to enter is a display name, if you decide to join the optional online leaderboard. Other information described below is collected automatically by the third-party services the Application uses.
Effective as of 10 October 2026
Your best score, settings, and calibration choices are saved locally on your own device. If you join the online leaderboard, the display name you chose and a random player ID created by the Application are saved on your device too. This save data is removed when you uninstall the Application.
The Application reads your device's accelerometer to tilt the camera during play. This sensor data is used only on your device, in real time, and is never stored or transmitted.
The Application shows banner advertising and offers an optional online leaderboard. To provide these, third-party services used by the Application collect information automatically when you use it. This information may include:
Your device's Internet Protocol (IP) address, which is also used to determine your approximate location (country or region level)
Device identifiers, including your device's advertising identifier (Android Advertising ID or Apple's Identifier for Advertisers)
Your mobile device type, model, and operating system version
The version of the Application you are running
Your network connection type
How you interact with the Application, such as when it is opened and when adverts are shown or tapped
Crash and error reports and other technical performance information, which may include diagnostic details about the fault
If you join the online leaderboard: the display name you choose, a random player ID created by the Application, and your best score
The Service Provider does not use this information to build a profile of you as an individual.
The leaderboard is optional. Nothing is sent to it unless you choose to join by entering a display name.
When you join, the Application creates a random player ID for your device and sends it, together with your display name and your best score, to Talo, the service that runs the leaderboard on the Service Provider's behalf. Your best score is updated whenever you beat it. Talo also receives your IP address when the Application connects to it.
Your display name and best score are shown publicly to everyone who plays the Application. Please do not use your real name or any other personal information as your display name. Names that are offensive or inappropriate may be removed.
Leaderboard data is kept for as long as the leaderboard is running, or until you ask for it to be deleted. Uninstalling the Application does not remove your leaderboard entry. To have it removed, contact the Service Provider (see Your Rights).
Leaderboard data is processed because you asked to take part in the leaderboard. Personalised advertising relies on your consent. Other technical data is processed on the basis of the Service Provider's legitimate interest in running, securing and improving the Application.
The Application and its third-party SDKs may use device identifiers and similar technologies to support advertising, measurement, and service delivery. Where required by applicable law, the Service Provider will obtain your consent before using non-essential tracking technologies.
On iOS, the Application will ask your permission before accessing your device's advertising identifier, as required by Apple's App Tracking Transparency framework. If you decline, adverts may still be shown, but they will not be personalised using that identifier.
If you are located in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, the Application will present a consent message when you first open it, asking whether you agree to the use of your data for advertising.
You can change your choice at any time inside the Application: on the main menu, tap the Settings (gear) button, then "Ad privacy options". Withdrawing consent stops further use of your data for personalised advertising from that point onward.
You can also reset or delete your advertising identifier at any time in your device settings (on Android, in the Ads or Privacy settings; on iOS, under Settings > Privacy & Security > Tracking), and you can stop all further collection by uninstalling the Application.
You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal data held by the Service Provider, including your leaderboard entry. To exercise these rights, or to withdraw consent where processing is based on consent, contact the Service Provider at contactjsigames@gmail.com. To have your leaderboard entry deleted, you can also tap Settings (gear) on the main menu, then "Delete my leaderboard data", which opens a pre-filled email.
Because the Application does not collect your email address or other contact details, the Service Provider may need some information to find the data relating to you. For a leaderboard request, please give your display name and your approximate best score. For other requests, the Service Provider may ask you for the device or advertising identifier concerned.
You also have the right to complain to a data protection authority. In the UK this is the Information Commissioner's Office (ico.org.uk).
If you are a California resident, you have the right to know what personal information is collected, the right to delete personal information, the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information, and the right to non-discrimination for exercising these rights.
The Service Provider does not sell personal information for money. The use of advertising identifiers for personalised advertising may constitute "sharing" under the CCPA/CPRA. To exercise your CCPA/CPRA rights, contact the Service Provider at contactjsigames@gmail.com.
The Application uses third-party services that collect information directly from your device in order to provide advertising and leaderboard functionality. Some of that information, including device identifiers and IP address, is not anonymous. Google acts as an independent controller of the data it collects for advertising. Talo stores leaderboard data on the Service Provider's behalf, on servers located in Germany.

The Service Provider may also disclose information:
as required by law, such as to comply with a subpoena or similar legal process;
when the Service Provider believes in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect their rights, protect your safety or the safety of others, investigate fraud, or respond to a government request;
with trusted service providers who work on the Service Provider's behalf, do not have an independent use of the information disclosed to them, and have agreed to adhere to the rules set forth in this privacy statement.
The Application is not directed at children under 13, and the Service Provider does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided information through the Application, including a leaderboard display name, contact the Service Provider at contactjsigames@gmail.com and it will be removed.
The Service Provider or its third-party service providers may transfer personal data to countries outside your country of residence, including outside the United Kingdom and the European Economic Area. Where applicable law requires safeguards for international transfers, the Service Provider will use appropriate mechanisms, which may include:
Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the European Commission, or the UK International Data Transfer Agreement or Addendum
Adequacy decisions or other legally recognised transfer mechanisms
Your consent, where required and legally permitted
Data protection laws in other countries may differ from those in your jurisdiction. Where required by law, the Service Provider will apply appropriate safeguards and obtain any consent required for the transfer.
The Service Provider may update this policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with a new effective date.
