Privacy Policy

Abandoned Dunes · Last updated: October 31, 2026

The short version: Abandoned Dunes does not collect, store on a server, share or sell any personal data. There are no accounts, no ads, no analytics, no trackers and no third-party SDKs.

What stays on your device

The game saves your settings (graphics level, sound, commentary and haptics preferences), your in-progress round, and your personal-best scores using the browser/app local storage on your own device. This data never leaves your device. It is removed when you delete the app (or clear the website's data in your browser).

Network access

The iOS app is fully offline: all courses, textures, audio and code ship inside the app. The web version at this site loads its own files from this site only. Neither version sends gameplay, usage or device data to us or to anyone else.

Apple Game Center (iOS app only)

The iOS app can optionally sign you in to Apple Game Center to show leaderboards and achievements. If you are signed in to Game Center, your final round scores and unlocked achievements are submitted to Apple's Game Center service and are governed by Apple's Privacy Policy. We never receive your name, Apple ID or any other personal information. If you decline or are not signed in, the game works exactly the same and nothing is submitted.

Friend matches (iOS app only)

The optional "Play Friends" mode uses Apple Game Center turn-based matches. Only your stroke counts for a round are stored in the match, and Apple's Game Center shows your Game Center display name to the other players in that match. This is handled entirely by Apple under Apple's Privacy Policy; we run no servers and receive none of it. There is no chat and no user-generated content.

In-app purchase (iOS app only)

The iOS app is free to download and includes one optional one-time in-app purchase ("All Courses") that unlocks the remaining courses and holes. Payment and purchase records are handled entirely by Apple (the App Store); the app only asks Apple on your device whether the purchase is owned. We never receive your payment details, name, Apple ID or purchase history. The web version is completely free.

Children

The game contains no ads, chat or user-generated content, and collects no information from anyone, including children.

Third-party credits

The courses are original, procedurally generated designs. The game bundles three.js and CC0 textures, skies and sounds (see THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.md in the source repository). These are static files; no requests are made to third-party services while you play.

Changes

If this policy ever changes, the updated version will be posted on this page with a new date.
