Effective date: October 17, 2026
Pocket TD is made by fakewaffle, llc, a Utah company (“we”). This policy describes how the game handles your data. The short version: the game has no account, no ads and no tracking, and it never sends anything to a server of ours. The only things that leave your device go to Steam or Apple, for the features below.
No account, no server of ours
Pocket TD does not ask you to sign up or log in to anything of ours. We do not run a server for it.
No advertising, analytics or tracking
The game contains no ads, no analytics, no crash reporting and no tracking, and it does not use your device’s advertising identifier.
Data that stays on your device
Your profile (experience, stats, achievements and best scores), your saved run, your settings and controls, your replays and the result cards you make are saved on your device. The game also keeps a random number for this install, so it can tell which device wrote a save when two devices sync. It is not linked to you, and it never leaves your device. Deleting the game deletes all of this.
Steam
On Windows, macOS, Linux and Steam Deck, the game uses Steam for cloud saves, achievements, stats and leaderboards, and shows your current mode and wave to your Steam friends. Steam Cloud keeps your profile and your saved run in your Steam account. When a run sets your best on a leaderboard, the game posts the score and attaches the run’s replay, and other players can see your Steam name and score and watch the replay. Valve handles all of this under the Steam privacy policy.
iPhone and iPad
The game uses iCloud to keep your profile in your own iCloud account, in a private database we cannot read. It uses Game Center for achievements and leaderboards. When a run beats your best on a Game Center leaderboard, and you are signed in to iCloud, the game publishes that run’s replay to a public iCloud database so other players can watch it. That record holds the replay, the leaderboard, the score and your Game Center player ID. Apple handles iCloud and Game Center under the Apple privacy policy.
Purchases
On iPhone and iPad the game is free to try, and one in-app purchase unlocks the full game. Apple handles the payment; we never see your payment details. The game keeps a note on your device that the full game is unlocked. On Steam, the game and its demo are bought and downloaded through Steam.
Links
The game can open its Steam store page. After that, the browser or the Steam app, not the game, is handling the request.
Deleting your data
- On your device: delete the game, or its pocket-td folder.
- Steam Cloud: in Steam, open the game’s Properties and turn off Steam Cloud, or follow Valve’s instructions to remove a game’s cloud files.
- iCloud: on iPhone or iPad, open Settings, then your name, then iCloud, then Manage Storage, and delete the Pocket TD data.
- Leaderboard entries and replays: email us and we will help.
Children
Pocket TD has no chat, no ads and no account of ours, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children. Leaderboards show the Steam or Game Center name a player already uses, and Apple’s and Valve’s parental controls apply to those services.
Changes
If this policy changes, we will update it here and change the effective date above.
