Privacy Policy
Privacy at a glance
Snake.World is developed by Ince Ozgur, an individual developer in Türkiye, who is the data controller. Contact: Settings › Support, Ideas & Bug Reports, or the support page on our website.
No account is needed. We do not collect your real name, contacts, photos, precise location or payment card details.
What we process and why
Player profile: a random anonymous player ID created on your device (not your Apple ID), the display name you choose and your profile badge. Other players see your name and badge in rooms and rankings. The server also gives you a 12-digit player ID (shown in Settings) for support and gifts. If you sign in to Game Center, your Game Center player ID (verified with Apple's signature) is linked to your anonymous ID so you can move your progress to a new device.
Game statistics: score, longest length, kills, games and play time for each world and private room, plus round wins and kills in 5v5, used for the World Top 100 and room rankings. Unlocked achievements are also recorded.
Usage statistics when the app opens: app version, game language, device model, iOS version and PRO status. Your country is derived from the connection on our server; your IP address is not stored. Used to count players and fix problems.
Crash and error reports: if the game crashes, freezes or hits an error, the app sends the error description, a technical call stack (memory addresses, no personal content), app version, device model, iOS version and your anonymous player ID, so we can find and fix the problem. iOS crash and freeze data comes from Apple's MetricKit diagnostics.
Online play: your snake's position and length are exchanged in real time with the room and kept only in memory during the match. While you play online, the app also sends a small connection report every 30 seconds (ping and short freezes) so we can keep the game smooth.
5v5 voice chat (only when you use it): your voice is passed live through our server only to teammates who have voice turned on; it is not recorded or stored. iOS asks for microphone permission the first time. If you block a teammate, an anonymous code that does not reveal who they are is kept on your device so their voice is not passed to you; your report is stored so we can review it.
Purchases: when you buy PRO, Apple's signed transaction details (transaction ID, product, price, currency, dates) and Apple's subscription notices are stored with your anonymous ID to verify PRO and for accounting. We never see your payment details.
Support: your message, rating, optional email, app version and language are stored and forwarded to the developer via Telegram, only to answer you.
Notifications (only if you turn them on): your device's push token, deleted when you turn them off. Notifications cover being eaten while in the background, someone joining your private room, dropping out of the Top 100, your weekly rank and new versions; offers and news (PRO campaigns, new skins) are a separate switch and are sent only if you turn it on. Reports you send about other players are stored so we can review them.
