Privacy policy
For the game PURLOIN on PC and phones. Last updated 2 November 2026.
In short: PURLOIN has no ads, no analytics and no tracking. Your game is saved on your own device. If you play online with friends, the game uses Epic Online Services to connect you, and purchases go through Steam or Google Play.
Who makes the game
PURLOIN is made by Marko, an independent developer. For anything about your data, email mk.kleee@gmail.com.
What stays on your device
- Your island, your progress and your achievements.
- Your settings, such as volume, language and screen size.
- The player name you type on a phone.
None of this is sent to me. Uninstalling the game, or clearing its storage on a phone, deletes it.
Playing online
Online play uses Epic Online Services, run by Epic Games. In the full game, PURLOIN signs in to it when it starts. The free version on phones signs in only when you join a friend's island.
- On PC it signs in with your Steam account, and uses your Steam name.
- On phones Epic creates an ID for your device. The game sends it your phone's model name and the player name you chose. No email address or real name is needed.
- When you play with friends, Epic passes game data between your device and theirs, and keeps the island code while your island is open. Your friends see your player name. Connections between players can go directly between devices, so the players in your game may be able to see your IP address, as in most online games.
Epic also collects basic technical data, such as error codes, to keep its services running. Epic handles all of this as described in Epic's privacy policy.
Buying the game
On PC you buy PURLOIN on Steam. On phones, the full game is a one-time purchase through Google Play. The store handles the payment, and the game only learns that the full game was bought. It never sees your card or bank details. See Valve's privacy policy and Google's privacy policy.
On phones, the purchase uses Unity's In-App Purchasing. Unity says this part collects only technical diagnostics needed for purchases to work, and doesn't share them.
Steam
On PC, Steam provides your name and your achievements. Steam keeps that data under Valve's privacy policy.
Children
PURLOIN isn't made for children under 13, and I don't knowingly collect their data. If you think a child has played online and you want their data removed, email me.
Your choices
- Play alone, and nothing about you leaves your device except the purchase check.
- Delete your saves by uninstalling the game, or by clearing its storage on a phone.
- Ask me anything, or ask for your data to be deleted, at mk.kleee@gmail.com. Data that Epic, Valve or Google hold can also be requested from them directly.
Changes
If this policy changes, the new version goes on this page with a new date.
