SlideShard

Last updated: 2026-07-22

SlideShard is a fully offline sliding-tile puzzle game in which you slide glowing crystal shards across a starfield grid to reveal hidden cosmic glyphs. This policy describes what SlideShard does and does not do with your data. The short version: SlideShard does not collect, transmit, or share any personal information.

1Information we collect

None. SlideShard has no accounts, no sign-up, no login, and no registration of any kind. We do not ask for your name, email address, phone number, or date of birth, and we do not collect device identifiers, advertising IDs, location data, contacts, photos, or usage analytics. There is no server behind SlideShard that could receive such information.

The display name and avatar you can set inside the game are chosen by you, stored only on your device, and never transmitted anywhere. You are free to enter anything you like — it defaults to Stargazer and is used purely to label your own profile screen.

2Data stored on your device

To make the app work, SlideShard stores the following only on your device, using the operating system's local storage:

  • Profile — the display name and avatar glyph you pick for your own profile screen.
  • Puzzle progress — which levels you have completed, the star rating earned on each, and a single saved in-progress run so you can resume a puzzle you left partway through.
  • In-game currency — your balance of motes, the date of your most recent daily reward claim, and how many daily rewards you have claimed. These are game counters, not payments.
  • Power-up upgrades — the tier level you have reached for each power-up in the forge.
  • Achievements — the list of achievements you have unlocked.
  • Settings — your accessibility and preference toggles, including colorblind mode, reduced-flash mode, and whether you have finished the onboarding walkthrough.

This data never leaves your device. It is not uploaded to SlideShard or to any third party. Uninstalling the app or clearing its storage deletes all of it permanently.

3Permissions

SlideShard requests no runtime permissions at all. Its Android manifest declares none, and it asks for no iOS permissions — no camera, microphone, location, contacts, photo library, or storage access. If your device ever prompts you for a permission on SlideShard's behalf, something is wrong; please contact us.

4Network use

SlideShard is fully offline. The app contains no networking code — no HTTP client, no sockets, no cloud database — and it makes no requests to us or to anyone else. It works identically in airplane mode. Because nothing is ever sent, there is nothing for us to log, store, profile, or sell.

5Third-party services

No analytics, advertising, attribution, or crash-reporting SDK is integrated into SlideShard. There is no Firebase, no AdMob, no Crashlytics, and no tracking library of any kind.

The app is built with open-source Flutter packages for local storage, state management, icons, and animation. These run entirely on your device and do not transmit data.

One optional feature does hand data outside the app: tapping Share on your profile opens your device's own share sheet with a fixed sentence inviting a friend to try the game. It contains no personal information and no game data. Whichever app you then pick — messages, email, social — handles that text under its own privacy policy, not ours. Nothing is shared unless you tap Share and choose a destination.

6Children's privacy

SlideShard is suitable for all ages and is safe for children. Because it collects no personal information whatsoever and transmits nothing off the device, there is no data that could identify or be used to profile a child. We do not knowingly — or unknowingly — collect data from users of any age, so the obligations of COPPA and GDPR-K around collecting children's data do not arise.

7Your rights

We hold no data about you, so there is nothing for us to look up, export, correct, or delete on your behalf — and no request form to fill in. Every byte SlideShard creates lives on your own device and is under your control.

To erase everything, uninstall SlideShard or clear its storage through your device settings (on Android: Settings → Apps → SlideShard → Storage → Clear storage). That permanently removes your profile, progress, currency, upgrades, achievements, and settings. There is no backup on our side to restore from, and no copy anywhere else.

8Changes to this policy

If this policy ever changes, the "Last updated" date at the top of this page will be revised. Material changes will be noted in the app's release notes.
