One Hot Summer - Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 2026

One Hot Summer is a game about one summer on a Tennessee lake. We built it to be played, not to watch you play. We (the developer) do not collect, sell or share any personal information - nothing about you is ever sent to us.

What stays on your device

• Your progress is saved only on your iPhone or iPad. Scores are saved on your device and, if you use Game Center, also sent to Apple (below).
• Motion sensors: tilting your device steers the skier. Motion readings are used live, on the device, and are never saved or sent anywhere.
• Photos: if you choose to save a picture or ride clip, the game asks your permission to add it to your Photos. It never reads your photo library.
• Ride clips: if you turn on clips, the game uses Apple's ReplayKit to record the game's own screen (never your camera or microphone); a red dot shows while it records. Clips stay on your device until you save, share or delete them.
• Sharing: if you tap share, Apple's share sheet sends what you choose, to whom you choose. The game doesn't see who you share with.

Game Center

High scores use Apple's Game Center. If you are signed in to Game Center, your scores and your Game Center nickname are sent to Apple's leaderboards so you and your friends can compare them. That is handled by Apple under Apple's privacy policy; we (the developer) never receive your scores, nickname, Apple ID, email or your device's contacts. So that a score made with no signal isn't lost, the game keeps it on your device, with your Game Center player ID, until it can be sent; a weekly score that misses its week is dropped. You can play without Game Center - your scores then stay on your device, and if you sign in later, waiting scores are sent then.

Android

On Android phones and tablets, your progress and your scores are saved only on your device - there is no Game Center or other leaderboard service, so nothing about you or your play is sent anywhere. The game shows no ads and has no tracking.

No ads, no tracking

The game shows no ads, contains no analytics or tracking tools, and does not track you across other apps or websites.

Children

The game is made for families. We collect no information from anyone, including children.
