Space Race — Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 9, 2026

Space Race is a single-player card game. It has no accounts, no sign-in, and it never asks for — or stores — your name, email address, contacts, location, photos, or any other personal information.

Everything below describes the game. The shop and download pages on our website work differently, and are covered in their own section.

What the game stores on your device

Your gameplay preferences (selected game modes and the mute setting) are saved locally on your device so the game remembers them between sessions. This data never leaves your device.

Analytics

What the game measures depends on where you got it. In every case the statistics are anonymous, are not linked to your identity, are not used for advertising, and are not used to track you across other apps or websites.

• Amazon Appstore version (Fire tablets): nothing at all. This version contains no analytics of any kind and makes no network requests while you play. It is built specifically to collect no data, because it is intended for children as well as adults.
• Web, iOS and Google Play versions: these use Google Analytics for anonymous usage statistics — things like how many games are played and on which platform. The web version at game.spaceexplorer.tech also uses Vercel Analytics for the same anonymous purpose.

No tracking, no ads, no third-party sharing

Space Race contains no advertising, no in-app purchases, and no trackers. We do not sell, share, or transfer any data to third parties beyond the anonymous analytics described above, and the Amazon Appstore version shares nothing at all.

TV mode (optional)

The optional big-screen mode connects to a device on your own home network to mirror the game onto a TV. iOS will ask for Local Network permission before this happens. No data leaves your network.

Children

The game is suitable for all ages. It has no accounts, no chat, no user-generated content, no advertising, no in-app purchases, and no links out of the app. The Amazon Appstore version collects no data whatsoever — see Analytics above — which is the version a parent can add to an Amazon Kids child profile. Elsewhere, the same minimal, anonymous statistics are collected from every player regardless of age.

The shop and download pages

Two pages on our website are written for adults deciding whether to buy the printed card game or get the app: the shop and the download page. They are separate from the game, and what they do is different.

• Advertising measurement. As well as Google Analytics, these two pages load the Meta Pixel, a tool from Meta (the company behind Facebook and Instagram). It tells Meta that the page was visited and whether the visitor opened the checkout or followed a link to the game. If an order is placed, we also tell Meta that it happened and what the games in it cost. We use this to measure our ads and to show them to people likely to be interested. Meta may connect it to a Facebook or Instagram account and use it under its own privacy policy. You can limit this in your Facebook or Instagram ad settings, or with your browser's tracking protection. The Meta Pixel is never loaded in the game, on any platform.
• Orders. If you buy the card game we collect your name, email address and shipping address so we can send it to you. Payment is handled by Stripe, and we never see your card number. Your order details are used only to fulfil the order, and are shared only with the service providers that help us do that, including Stripe for payment, Shippo for the shipping label, and Resend for the confirmation and tracking emails. We do not send your name, email address or shipping address to Meta.
