Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2026-09-18

1. Who we are

Star Garage (stargarage.dev) publishes offline web games, including "STAR VOYAGE". This policy explains how your data is handled when you play our games.

2. What we collect

We collect no personally identifiable information: no name, no email, no account, no cross-site identifier — and we never store IP addresses or user-agent strings.

• Stored on your device only: game progress, settings, achievements and the codex live in your browser's local storage and are never uploaded.
• Sent to our own servers — online leaderboard (only when enabled): a randomly generated guest ID plus that run's result — character, wave, kills, level, score and timestamp.
• Sent to our own servers — anonymous usage counts: one visit record when the game page loads, plus a few coarse gameplay events (game started, run ended, rewarded ad watched). These carry the campaign tag of the link that brought you here (for example ?utm_source=youtube) and the domain of the referring page. No IP address, no user-agent string and no cross-site identifier is stored.

The site also uses Cloudflare Web Analytics, a cookie-less traffic measurement service from our hosting provider. It reports aggregate page views, including a country breakdown, and does not profile you or track you across sites.

3. Ads

Some builds include rewarded video ads, played only when you actively tap a "Watch Ad" button in exchange for in-game bonuses (revive, star boost, pilot unlock). Ads are served by third-party ad platform ayeT-Studios GmbH (publisher ID 4095040, placement 24524), which may process non-personalized ad data under its own privacy policy (ayetstudios.com).

For EEA/UK users, ad SDKs load only after your consent choice. The ad-free build does not load any ad SDK at all.

4. Data retention

Game data lives in your browser's local storage and is deleted when you clear your browser site data. Server-side records are kept for a limited time and then deleted automatically: leaderboard entries after 30 days, anonymous usage counts after 180 days.

5. Your rights

The only server-side identifier we hold is the random guest ID described above; it is not linked to any name, email or contact detail. You can satisfy GDPR/CCPA access or deletion requests yourself by clearing your browser site data — that removes the guest ID, after which the leaderboard record can no longer be linked to you. You may also email us (below) to have a specific record deleted.

6. Children

Our games are not directed at children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information through a third-party ad, refer to the ad platform's policy and contact us for assistance.

7. AI-Generated Art

Visual assets in "STAR VOYAGE" (character ships, enemy sprites, backgrounds, UI elements) are created using generative AI tools, including Flux and Stable Diffusion, with manual post-processing. All gameplay code, game design, and audio are human-made.
