OVERRIDE

OVERRIDE is an action game with an AI villain (the Warden) and an AI companion (PIXEL). This page explains what the game collects, why, and who it is shared with. The same policy covers the web version, the Android app and the iOS app.

What we collect

An anonymous install ID. A random ID is created on your device the first time you play. It is not linked to your name, email or phone, and it lets us count players and sessions.
Gameplay statistics. For each run: how long it lasted, how far you got, kills, upgrades picked, how it ended, the game version, frame-rate figures, and a coarse device type (phone/desktop, touch or not). We use these to balance the game and fix problems.
Where you came from. If you arrived through a link with a campaign tag (for example an ad, or the Play Store app), we record that tag so we can tell which links work.
Error reports. If the game crashes or hits an error, a technical report (error message, game version) is sent so we can fix it.
Feedback you choose to send. If you use the in-game feedback form, we receive what you write.
Your handle. The pilot name you pick is stored on your device and may appear on the public leaderboard. Pick one that doesn't identify you if you prefer.
Optional sign-in. If you sign in with a Krystal Unity account, your save is synced to our server and your display name is used as your leaderboard handle. Your email is never logged or shown.

The game does not use advertising, advertising IDs, location, contacts, camera or microphone, and it has no third-party trackers.

Game Center (iOS app). On iPhone and iPad the game can sign you in to Apple Game Center and post your best score and achievements there. That data is handled by Apple under Apple's privacy policy; we do not receive your Apple ID or Game Center contacts.

AI-generated lines

The Warden's and PIXEL's lines are written live by AI language models. To do that, the game sends a short description of what is happening in your run (for example your wave, health and recent play style, plus your handle) to our server, which passes it to an AI model provider. Depending on availability, this is our own hosted model or a third-party provider such as OpenAI, Groq, OpenRouter or Google. No install ID, email or device identifier is included. Spoken voice lines are generated on our own server.

How we use it

Only to run, balance and improve OVERRIDE, and to measure which links bring players. We do not sell your data or share it with advertisers.

Storage and retention

Statistics, error reports, feedback and synced saves are stored on Krystal Unity's own server. We keep them as long as they are useful for improving the game. Your local save and install ID live on your device; clearing the app's storage or uninstalling removes them.

Your choices

Uninstall the app or clear its storage to delete everything held on your device.
Ask us to delete your account data (synced save, leaderboard entries, feedback) on the account deletion page or with the in-game feedback form. We act on requests within 30 days.

Children

OVERRIDE is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.

Changes

If this policy changes, we will update this page and its effective date.
