Your garden. Your progress.

Local saves and optional iCloud sync

Your current shot, downloaded Daily board and device preferences stay on your device. In iCloud-enabled builds, completed missions, stars, best scores, challenge unlocks, tutorial completion, achievement progress and recent Daily results are also stored in your iCloud account to restore and merge progress between your Apple devices. This gameplay content is linked to your iCloud account and used only for this app feature. Recent Daily history is limited to 366 entries; retry counts keep the highest known count across devices.

The game uses Apple's iCloud key-value storage. Sync is enabled by default when available and can be paused in Options → Help & Privacy → iCloud Saves. Apple schedules transfers; progress remains local while offline. An opaque account token is kept locally to detect account changes and pause syncing; it is not included in the cloud save or sent to us. The game does not receive your Apple email address or password. Purchase ownership is checked separately through StoreKit.

Apple holds the cloud copy under Apple's privacy policy. We do not send saved progress to our Daily service or use it for advertising or analytics. Deleting the app can remove local data but does not itself request deletion of the iCloud copy. Device backups are controlled by your operating system and Apple settings.

Optional Game Center achievements

In Game Center-enabled iOS builds, choosing Connect Game Center in Achievements allows the game to send achievement identifiers and progress to Apple and read achievements already associated with your Game Center account. This gameplay content is linked to that account to synchronize achievements. The game keeps your Game Center player identifier locally to detect account changes and asks you to connect again before sharing progress with a different account. That identifier is not included in the iCloud save or sent to our Daily service.

We do not request your Game Center friends list, email address or password. Game Center is an Apple service with its own activity collection and sharing controls. Apple may display achievement activity according to your Game Center settings. See Apple's Game Center privacy information to manage activity sharing and understand Apple's handling of this information. You can earn local achievements without connecting Game Center.

Steam achievements and Windows saves

In Steam-enabled Windows builds, choosing Connect Steam allows the game to send earned achievement identifiers to Valve and read achievements associated with your Steam account. This achievement data is linked to your Steam account. Your Steam ID is kept locally to detect account changes and request a new connection before sharing this computer's progress with a different account. We do not send that identifier to our Daily service or include it in iCloud saves.

The game does not request your Steam friends list, email address or password. Windows mission progress, scores and current shots remain on your computer; this build does not upload game saves to Steam Cloud or link Steam to an Apple account. You can earn local achievements without connecting them to Steam.

Valve operates Steam and processes account, game and client activity under Valve's privacy policy, independently of this game's optional achievement connection. Steam may display activity according to your profile settings. Use Steam's profile privacy controls and account data tools to manage information held by Valve.

Daily Challenges and this website

The game requests a public challenge file from our Cloudflare service when you open Daily Challenge. It sends no game account, advertising identifier, scores or saved progress. Your IP address and standard connection information are necessarily processed to deliver the file.

Cloudflare hosts and protects the service and may process technical connection information for operation, security and abuse prevention. We have disabled persistent Worker request logs and tracing. Our application database stores challenge content and publishing records, not player profiles. We do not add analytics scripts or cookies to these support pages.

Cloudflare operates internationally. Its handling of service and network information is explained in Cloudflare's privacy policy. We do not use this connection information for advertising or to build player profiles.

Android saves and Google Play purchases

On Android, progress and preferences stay on your device. Android cloud saving and transfer from iCloud are not available. App backup is disabled for the Android build. Uninstalling the game or clearing its storage removes these local saves.

Google Play handles payment for the story expansion under Google's privacy policy. The game receives a signed purchase record from Google Play to grant or restore access, verifies it on your device and acknowledges completed purchases to Google Play. The signed record is cached locally for offline access and checked again with Google Play when connectivity allows. It may include a purchase token, order identifier, product, purchase time and status. We do not send these records to our Daily service, receive your card details or receive your Google Account email or password through the game.

Apple purchases

Apple handles payment for The Journey Continues. The game checks verified StoreKit transactions on your device to grant or restore access. We do not receive your card details or send transaction records to our Daily service. Apple processes purchases under Apple's privacy policy.

If you contact support

We receive the email address, message and any attachments you choose to send. We use them to answer your request, investigate a problem and meet any applicable legal obligations. We keep support correspondence only for as long as needed for those purposes. Please include only information relevant to the problem.

Your choices and deletion

Story and Challenge Levels can be played without requesting the Daily file, and iCloud sync can be paused at any time. To request removal of your cloud save, first pause syncing on all your other devices, then choose Remove Cloud Copy and confirm in iCloud Saves. This pauses sync on that device and requests removal from Apple; your local progress is kept. Apple applies the deletion when it synchronizes. Another device that still syncs, or re-enabling sync later, can upload local progress again.

There is no separate game account to delete. Contact rob@cat.town to ask about, correct or request deletion of information held in support correspondence, or to exercise other applicable privacy rights. You may also contact your local data protection authority.

We do not sell personal information. We do not knowingly request personal information from children in the game. If a child has sent personal information to support, a parent or guardian can contact us for help removing it.

Changes

We will update this page and its effective date if the game's data practices change. Any future online features will be described here before release.
