Shadowbound has no accounts and does not send anything about you to us. It can show ads from Google AdMob, and Google's ad software collects some device and advertising data to show and measure those ads. Weekly leaderboards use Apple's Game Center. Optional purchases go through the App Store.
The game saves your cleared towers, medals, best times, deaths per tower, where you died on each tower, daily and weekly trial times, stamp days, your play streak, outfits and other looks you've chosen or earned, hint use and your settings. It also keeps a small play log (for example which tower you played and whether you cleared it) so the game can show your own stats. All of this is stored only on your device. We never receive it. Deleting the app deletes it.
Shadowbound can show optional videos you choose to watch for a reward (a hint, a continue from your last safe wall, or a skip on a tower you're stuck on), and a full-screen ad between some towers after tower 10. These ads are served by Google AdMob. Before any ad is requested, the game asks for your consent where the law requires it (for example in the EEA, the UK and Switzerland), and you can change your choice later in Settings. To show and measure ads, Google may collect:
Shadowbound does not ask to track you across other companies' apps and websites, and it does not read your device's advertising identifier for that purpose.
Google's use of this data is covered by Google's own policy: How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services.
You can buy ad-free play or packs of outfits and other looks. Purchases are handled by Apple through the App Store. We never see your payment details; the game only checks with Apple whether you own a purchase.
If you are signed in to Game Center and finish the weekly tower, your time is sent to Apple's Game Center leaderboard under your Game Center name. This is handled by Apple under Apple's privacy policy. If you are not signed in, nothing is sent.
If you allow notifications, the game schedules reminders on your device (for example when today's trial is ready or a new weekly tower drops). They are created on your iPhone; no notification server is involved and we receive nothing.
When you tap Share, Make clip or Fail reel, the game makes a short text or animated clip of your run and opens the iOS share sheet. Nothing is shared unless you pick where to send it.
The More Anttech games screen asks the App Store which ANTTECH games are available. That request contains only the games' App Store IDs, nothing about you.
Shadowbound is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.
If this changes, this page will be updated before the version that changes it is released, with a new date above.
