Privacy Policy for ATC: Approach Control
Last updated: October 28, 2026
This Privacy Policy describes what happens to your information when you play ATC: Approach Control, and what rights you have. ATC is a video game: it has no accounts, no profiles and no servers of ours.
The game keeps everything on your device. The free version shows ads from Google AdMob between games; ATC Pro has no ads. The ads, the Pro subscription and Game Center are the only parts that involve other companies, and all three are described below. By playing the game, you agree to what is described here.
There is no analytics package of ours in the game and no server of ours for it to talk to.
- ✔️No analytics, no usage statistics, no crash reporting of our own
- ✔️No profiles, no accounts, no sign-up, no email address required to play
- ✔️No location, no contacts, no photos, no camera
- ✔️The microphone is never used: the controller's voice is spoken by your device, and nothing is recorded
- ✔️We never sell anything or pass it to data brokers; what the ads use is described under "Ads in the Free Version"
The free version shows a full-screen ad between games, and you can choose to watch one to continue after the airspace closes. Never during play, and never in ATC Pro.
- ✔️The ads come from Google AdMob (Google LLC, or Google Ireland Limited in the European Economic Area, the UK and Switzerland)
- ✔️To show and measure ads, Google's software in the game may collect your device's advertising identifier (only if you allow tracking), your IP address and approximate location derived from it, device and app information, ad interactions, and crash and performance data
- ✔️In the European Economic Area, the UK and Switzerland, the game first asks for your consent through Google's consent form. You can change your choices at any time in Settings › Privacy choices
- ✔️Google's privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy, and how Google uses data from apps that use its services: https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites
- ✔️ATC Pro removes the ads entirely: a Pro player never sees the consent form, the tracking request or an ad, and Google's software isn't started
App Tracking Transparency: the free version asks once whether ads may use your advertising identifier to be more relevant to you. If you decline, you still see ads, just not personalised ones. You can change this at any time in the iPhone's Settings › Privacy & Security › Tracking.
The game keeps what it needs in its own storage on your device.
- ✔️Your settings: voice readback, the side of the controls, how often emergencies happen
- ✔️Your best skill at each airport and how many emergencies you have handled
- ✔️Which airport you picked last
- ✔️The radio voice is generated on your device by iOS; no text or sound leaves it
- ✔️Removing the game from your device removes all of it
The Pro subscription is sold by Apple. We never see your name, your address or your payment details.
- ✔️Apple handles the payment and tells the game that a purchase went through
- ✔️The game uses RevenueCat, Inc. to check the subscription with Apple and to restore it on your other devices
- ✔️RevenueCat receives the App Store transaction, which plan was bought, the country of your App Store, the device model and iOS version, and an anonymous identifier the game generates for your device
- ✔️That identifier is a random string. It is not your Apple Account, your email address or your name
- ✔️RevenueCat's privacy policy: https://www.revenuecat.com/privacy/
Leaderboards and achievements are Apple's Game Center, and they work only if you are signed in to it.
- ✔️Sent to Apple when you are signed in: your best skill at each airport, the emergencies you have handled, and the achievements you earn
- ✔️Other players see the name Game Center shows for you. We never see your Apple Account
- ✔️Not signed in, the game plays exactly the same; nothing is sent
- ✔️Game Center is Apple's service, under Apple's Privacy Policy: https://www.apple.com/legal/privacy/
If you email us, we receive what you send.
- ✔️Your message and your email address, and nothing else
- ✔️We keep your message only as long as it takes to answer it and, where the law requires, to keep records
- ✔️It is never used for advertising and never passed on
ATC is a game for everyone. It is not directed at children.
- ✔️We do not knowingly receive anything from a child, because we receive nothing from anybody
- ✔️Parents who prefer a game without ads can choose ATC Pro, or turn off tracking in the iPhone's Settings
- ✔️Screen Time and Ask to Buy on the device control purchases
The controller for the little data that reaches us is Dorian Borovina, reachable at the address below.
- ✔️Legal basis: performing what you asked for (the subscription you bought, answering your email) and our legitimate interest in a working game
- ✔️You have the right to information, correction, deletion, restriction, portability and objection
- ✔️Purchase records at RevenueCat can be deleted on request; write to us and we will have them removed
- ✔️Data in Game Center is yours and Apple's to delete; Apple's support does it
- ✔️There is no automated decision-making and no profiling of any kind
- ✔️You may complain to your data protection authority
If the game ever starts doing something new with data, this page says so first.
- ✔️Changes appear here with a new "Last updated" date
- ✔️Anything material will be pointed out in the game itself
