Privacy
What our apps store, why, and how to have it removed.
This describes the shared backend behind Outworld Apps's apps. An individual app may say more on its own listing; nothing there overrides what is written here.
What is stored
An app that keeps leaderboards or cloud saves creates a player for you. A player is anonymous by default: it is an opaque identifier and a display name you choose. We do not ask for an email address in order to put a score on a board.
- Player — an identifier, the display name you chose, when it was created and last used.
- Device tokens — one per device you play on, stored only as a hash.
- Scores — your standing on each board, and whatever the app attaches to it.
- Stored values — saves and settings the app keeps for you, held as given and not inspected.
What is not stored
No advertising identifiers, no cross-app profile, and no third-party analytics in the backend. Players belong to the app that created them: two apps' players are separate, and neither one's credentials reach the other's data.
Site accounts
An account on this website is a separate thing from a player, and exists only to operate the service. It holds an email address and a password hash.
Deleting your data
Apps that create players offer deletion from inside the app, and it is immediate: the player, their standings, their stored values and their device tokens are removed together, not marked for later. If an app you use does not offer it, write to support@outworldapps.com and we will do it within 5 working days.
One thing deletion cannot undo: a score that has already been read by another player's device is on that device. Removing your data removes it from the board — it does not reach back into screenshots.
Retention
Boards with a repeating period keep a fixed number of past periods and drop the rest automatically. Stored values live until deleted, or until the expiry the app set for them, whichever comes first.
