Orbit: Privacy Policy

Last updated: 27 October 2026

Orbit is an Android game by Lineasoft Sagl. This policy explains which data Orbit processes, why, for how long, and what rights you have. It applies only to Orbit.

In short: Orbit has no accounts and never asks for your name, email address or password. Your progress stays on your phone. To show ads, measure how the game is played, fix errors and run the weekly leaderboard, Orbit uses Google services, which receive some technical data from your phone.

1. Who is responsible

The data controller is:

Lineasoft Sagl
Via dell'Inglese 3A
6826 Riva San Vitale
Switzerland

Email: info@lineasoft.ch

2. What Orbit does not do

3. The data and why we process it

3.1 Your progress on the phone

Levels, stars, coins, purchased items and settings stay on your phone. If you have turned on backup in your Android settings, Android may copy them into the backup of your Google account: Google manages this according to your settings, and Lineasoft has no access to it. If you restore Orbit on a new phone from that backup, your progress and coins come along, and the app asks for your privacy choices again.

3.2 Advertising (Google AdMob)

Orbit is free and is funded by advertising. To show ads it uses Google's AdMob, which receives from your phone: IP address (from which it estimates your approximate location), Android advertising ID, app set ID, device information, your interactions with ads, and diagnostic data.

3.3 Gameplay statistics (Google Analytics for Firebase)

To understand how the game is played and to improve Orbit, we count what happens in the game: levels started, won and lost, stars, coins earned and spent, items used, shop visits and purchases, the settings you choose (for example music and graphics), your phone model, the app version, the approximate country or city derived from your IP address, and a random identifier of your installation. We do not send names, email addresses or any text you write.

3.4 Error reports (Firebase Crashlytics)

When the app closes because of an error, Crashlytics sends us a report: where the code stopped, the state of the app, your phone's model and system, and a random identifier of your installation.

3.5 The weekly leaderboard (Google Play Games)

If you use Google Play Games, Orbit receives your player identifier and your Play Games name, and at the end of each attempt in the weekly event it sends your score to the leaderboard. Orbit also reads your position and the names of the other players on the leaderboard.

3.6 Purchases (Google Play)

Payments are handled by Google Play: Orbit never sees your card or account. The app only receives the product you bought, to unlock it, and counts it in the statistics (section 3.3).

3.7 Reviews and updates (Google Play)

Orbit may ask you for a review or offer you an update using Google Play features. What you write in a review is processed by Google Play.

3.8 If you write to us

If you write to info@lineasoft.ch, we use your email address and what you write only to answer you. Legal basis: our legitimate interest in replying.

In Settings → Write a comment, Orbit prepares an email to us with the app version, your phone model and the world you have reached. It opens in your email app: you see it, can change it and decide whether to send it. Orbit sends nothing by itself.

3.9 Feedback from testers (Google Play)

If you take part in an early-access version or another test of Orbit on Google Play, you can send us private feedback through Google Play (a rating and a comment), or write to the address shown on the test page. In Play Console we see your comment with the details Google attaches to it, which may include your Google Play name, the date, the language, the app version and the phone model. We use it only to fix and improve Orbit, and we may reply to you through Google Play. We do not publish it and do not use it in advertising unless you agree.

3.10 Orbit on Discord and on social media

Orbit has a Discord server for players and accounts on Instagram, TikTok and YouTube. The links in Settings → Follow Orbit open them outside the app; Orbit sends them no data.

If you join the Orbit server on Discord, we read what you write in its channels, with your Discord name and picture, to answer you, to fix errors and to improve Orbit. The notes we take from it do not contain your name. We do not quote you in advertising unless you agree. Moderators may remove messages or members that break the server rules.

4. How you decide

5. Who receives the data, and where

The data goes to Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland) and to Google LLC (United States), which may also process it in other countries where they have servers. The dataset with the statistics exported for our own analysis is stored on servers in the European Union.

For transfers to the United States, Google LLC participates in the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework and in the Swiss-U.S. Data Privacy Framework; for other countries Google uses the European Commission's standard contractual clauses.

Destination countries: Ireland, the United States and the other countries where Google processes data.

6. How long we keep it

7. Age

Orbit is intended for people aged 16 and over. If you are younger than the age at which your country lets you consent to online services on your own, ask a parent to choose your Privacy options for you. If you are a parent and think your child has given us data, write to us and we will delete it.

8. Your rights

You can ask us to access your data, correct it, delete it, restrict its use, receive it in a readable format (portability), and object to processing based on our legitimate interest. You can withdraw your consent at any time, without affecting what was done before.

Write to info@lineasoft.ch. We answer within one month.

Orbit does not ask for your name or email address, so we often cannot tell which data is yours. For the gameplay statistics, send us the Privacy code you find in Settings → Privacy (the app can write the email for you): with it we can find and delete them. The code changes if you reinstall Orbit or clear its data; if statistics are off, the app shows the code of the ones collected before. For anything else, tell us what may help us find it (for example when and on which phone you played); if we still cannot identify you, uninstalling the app breaks the link between you and the data collected so far.

You have the right to lodge a complaint with the data protection authority of your country; in Switzerland, with the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC).

9. If you live in the United States

We do not sell personal data for money. Using the advertising ID to show personalised ads may count as a "sale" or "sharing" under the laws of some states (for example California): you can opt out in Settings → Privacy options, when available, or by deleting the advertising ID in your Android settings. You also have the right to know, correct and delete your data by writing to us; we will not treat you differently if you exercise these rights.

10. If you live in Brazil

Under the LGPD you have the right to know whether we process your data, to access it, correct it, have it anonymised or deleted, receive it, know with whom we share it, and withdraw your consent. Write to us at info@lineasoft.ch. You may also contact the Autoridade Nacional de Proteção de Dados (ANPD).

11. Security

All data travels encrypted (HTTPS/TLS). On the phone, it stays in the storage reserved for the app.

12. Changes

If Orbit changes the way it processes data (for example with a new service), we update this page and the date at the top; for important changes we also tell you in the app.
