Privacy Policy for Loopy Bird
Last updated: October 31, 2026
1. Introduction
Loopy Bird is a game made by Empoc, LLC. This policy explains what happens to your information when you play Loopy Bird on iPhone, iPad, Mac or Android, and when you visit loopybird.com.
2. What We Collect
Loopy Bird never asks for your name, email address, phone number, location, contacts or photos. It has no ads, and no advertising or analytics companies are built into it. What’s below goes only to our own server at loopybird.com. The Android version sends nothing to us.
Gameplay statistics. To understand how the game is played and to fix problems, the game on iPhone, iPad and Mac always sends gameplay statistics. There is no setting to turn them off: they don’t include your name or any way to contact you, and they’re used only for the game (see section 8). They are:
- a random install number the game makes up when it’s first opened (not your device’s identifier, your Apple ID or your Game Center ID). It’s kept on that device only: it isn’t copied to your other devices or to iCloud, and it stays on the device if the game is deleted and installed again;
- the app version, whether it’s an iPhone, iPad or Mac, and the system version;
- how the game is played: when it’s opened and for how long; your level, how many birds you have and whether you have the Loopy Pass; each run (the bird, background and pipe skin, the score and any bonus points, how long it lasted, how many flaps and powers were used, how it ended, and whether it was a daily or weekly challenge); challenges, level-ups, level gates, unlocks and how they were unlocked, items used from the Item Bag, which of the game’s screens are opened, visits to the Store and which items were bought;
- your music and sound-effect volume, and whether Game Center, iCloud and a Loopy Bird account are in use (yes or no only);
- when the sign-in screen is shown or closed, and when you sign in or out.
If you’re offline, the statistics wait on the device and are sent later.
A Loopy Bird account (optional). If you choose Sign in with Apple, Apple gives us a code that is unique to you and to our apps. We store it only in a scrambled form (a keyed hash), with a backup of your game progress (the last 10 versions from each of your devices) so it can be restored on another device. We never ask Apple for your name or email address, and Apple never gives them to us. We also keep a token from Apple, encrypted, so we can tell Apple to end the sign-in if you delete your account. While you’re signed in, your gameplay statistics are linked to your account, so a player with two devices is counted once.
Checking the game is genuine. On iPhone and iPad, the game uses Apple’s App Attest to prove that statistics come from the real Loopy Bird and not from a copy or a script. This stores a key that Apple’s service creates on your device. It identifies nothing about you and can’t be used to recognize your device in other apps. On a Mac, the game sends Apple’s signed record that it came from the App Store, with an identifier the App Store gives the game on that Mac for this check; the server checks Apple’s signature and keeps only a scrambled reference to that copy, for two days, to limit how much one copy can send.
Server records. Like any website, our server sees your internet address when the game or a browser connects. Our web logs shorten it (the last part is removed) before writing it down. To stop abuse, the server also counts recent requests in a scrambled form for up to a day, and its error logs, which can contain an address, are kept for 14 days.
3. What Stays on Your Device
Your progress is saved on your device and, if you use it, in your iCloud: scores, levels, your daily streak and challenge results, the birds, backgrounds and items you have, your settings, and a replay of your best run for Ghost Bird. Without a Loopy Bird account we can’t see any of it. If you delete the game, the copy on the device is deleted too (purchases can be restored, see section 5).
4. Game Center and Google Play Games
Leaderboards and achievements use Apple Game Center on iPhone, iPad and Mac, and Google Play Games on Android. If you sign in to them, your scores and achievements are sent to Apple or Google, and your nickname there is shown next to your scores on the leaderboards, where other players can see it. This is handled by Apple or Google under their own privacy policies; we don’t receive your Game Center or Play Games identity. You can play without signing in.
5. In-App Purchases
Purchases are handled entirely by Apple (App Store) or Google (Google Play). We never see your name, payment details or store account. The game learns which item was bought so it can unlock it, and on iPhone, iPad and Mac that item’s name is part of the gameplay statistics above. “Restore Purchases” asks Apple or Google for your past purchases.
6. Children’s Privacy
Loopy Bird is suitable for all ages. The gameplay statistics contain no name, contact details or anything else that identifies a child. A Loopy Bird account is optional and asks for nothing beyond Apple’s anonymous sign-in code. We don’t knowingly collect personal information from children, and a parent can ask us to delete anything connected to a child’s account (see section 12). Game Center and Google Play Games follow your device’s parental settings.
7. The Website
loopybird.com has no analytics, ads, trackers or cookies for visitors. Our server keeps the technical records described in section 2, for security and to keep the site running; we don’t use them to identify anyone.
8. How We Use It
Only to run and improve Loopy Bird: to back up and restore progress, to see which birds, levels and challenges work, to find and fix problems, and to protect the game and its leaderboards from cheating. We never use it for advertising and never build profiles of players.
9. Sharing
We do not share, sell, lease or rent any of it. It’s stored on our own server, which we run ourselves. Apple handles Sign in with Apple, App Attest, Game Center, iCloud and purchases under Apple’s own privacy policy, and Google handles Google Play Games and purchases on Android.
10. How Long We Keep It, and Deleting It
- Gameplay statistics: up to 400 days, then deleted.
- Your account and its backups: until you delete the account. Delete account in the game’s Settings removes the account, its sign-in and every backup at once, and tells Apple to end the sign-in. Your progress on your device and in iCloud stays. Statistics already sent stay, but are no longer linked to anyone.
- Signing out ends the sign-in on our server as well as on your device.
- App Attest keys: deleted after 400 days without use.
- The Mac’s scrambled copy reference: deleted after two days.
Connections to our server are encrypted (HTTPS), and account data is stored scrambled or encrypted where possible.
