Privacy Policy
Effective date: September 23, 2026 · Last updated: September 23, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how Nexus Code Studio LLC (“we”, “us”) handles information in the Sugar Squadron app for iPhone (the “App”) and on this website. We built a family-friendly candy arcade shooter and we keep our data practices simple and honest.
The short version
- No account or sign-in is required to play.
- We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use it for advertising.
- The App has no third-party analytics, tracking, or advertising SDKs.
- Your progress and settings are stored on your device, not on our servers.
- Purchases are processed by Apple. We never see your name, email, or payment card details.
Who we are
Sugar Squadron is published by Nexus Code Studio LLC. For any privacy question or request, contact support@sugarsquadron.com.
What the App does
The App is a single-player arcade game. You fly a hero, defeat candy enemies and bosses, rearm at the in-game Candy Shop during a run, and may unlock Endless mode after clearing certain campaign difficulties. The App works offline and does not require a network connection except to load and complete a purchase through Apple.
Information we collect
We do not require an account and we do not collect your name, email address, or precise location through the App. The categories below describe everything the App and this site handle.
- On-device game data. Settings (sound, music, haptics, auto-aim), high scores, campaign progress, Endless records, selected hero, chosen difficulty, and your unlock status are stored locally on your device using Apple’s on-device storage. This data stays on your device and is not transmitted to us.
- Purchases. The App offers one non-consumable in-app purchase, Unlock Full Campaign. Purchases are processed entirely by Apple through the App Store. We receive confirmation from Apple that a purchase was made (an entitlement) so the App can unlock the content, and we store that unlock status locally. We do not receive your name, email address, billing address, or payment card details. Apple’s handling of your purchase is governed by Apple’s Privacy Policy.
- No analytics, advertising, or tracking. The App contains no third-party analytics, advertising, or tracking SDKs. We do not track you across apps or websites, and we do not use the Advertising Identifier (IDFA).
- Crash and diagnostic data. The App does not collect crash logs or diagnostics itself. If you have opted in to share analytics with developers in iOS Settings, Apple may provide us aggregated crash reports through App Store Connect so we can fix bugs. We will update this policy and our App Store privacy labels if we ever add our own diagnostics.
- This website. This marketing site does not use third-party analytics or advertising cookies. Our host (Netlify) may process standard web server logs to serve the site securely, as described in Netlify’s documentation.
- Support email. If you email us, we receive your email address and whatever you choose to include so we can reply.
In-app purchases
Sugar Squadron is free to download. Missions 1 and 2 are free to play. A single non-consumable purchase, Unlock Full Campaign, opens the remaining missions and the finale. There are no subscriptions, no consumable purchases, and no advertisements. The in-game currency (“Candy Stars”) is earned by playing and cannot be bought. Payment is handled by Apple; you can restore a prior purchase from the title screen or the purchase screen using the same Apple ID.
Children’s privacy
Sugar Squadron is designed as a family-friendly arcade experience. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. The App has no chat, no social features, no user-generated content, and no advertising, so there is no behavioral advertising directed at children. Purchases made on a child’s device are subject to Apple’s Ask to Buy and parental-control settings.
If you are a parent or guardian and believe a child has sent us personal information (for example, by email), contact us and we will take reasonable steps to delete it.
How we use information
- To run the game and unlock content you have purchased.
- To improve stability and fix bugs (using Apple-provided crash reports, if you share them).
- To respond to support requests you send us by email.
- To comply with law or protect against abuse where required.
Sharing
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it for advertising or cross-context behavioral marketing. We rely on service providers who process data only to provide their services: Apple (App Store distribution and payment processing) and Netlify (hosting this website).
Data retention
Game data and your unlock status remain on your device until you delete the App or clear its data. Support emails are kept only as long as needed to resolve your request and for ordinary business records, then deleted.
Your choices and rights
- Delete the App to remove locally stored game data from your device.
- Restore purchases from the title screen or purchase screen using the same Apple ID.
- Manage purchases in your Apple ID and App Store settings.
- Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or port your personal information, to object to certain processing, and to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority. Because we do not hold personal data about you beyond any support email you send, these requests generally mean deleting that email. To make a request, email support@sugarsquadron.com.
- Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information: we do not sell or share personal information as defined by applicable privacy laws.
International users
The App is distributed through the App Store and this site is hosted in the United States. Information handled by Apple or our host may be processed in the United States or other locations where they operate.
Changes
We may update this Privacy Policy as the App evolves. When we do, we will post the new effective date on this page. Material changes will be reflected in our App Store privacy labels as well.
