Privacy, plainly.

Your game stays on your device

Personal records, game settings, earned credits, rewarded panorama identifiers, rating prompt history, travel journal entries and small scene previews, and offline achievement progress are stored on this device. Your journal records game locations, visit dates, and round results, not your physical location. Credits are earned only through play and cannot be purchased or transferred. Lost Atlas has no developer-operated account or analytics service, and contains no advertising or tracking SDK.

Optional Game Center

If you connect Game Center, Lost Atlas uses Apple's GameKit service to sign you in and report achievement identifiers and completion percentages. Apple manages your Game Center account and achievements. The app stores your game-specific player identifier locally to keep progress separate when accounts change. Offline play stays with the last connected player. Progress earned before the first connection is added to the first player who connects.

Street imagery and maps

Lost Atlas requests panoramas and walking paths from Mapillary and its image delivery services. These services receive normal network request information, such as an IP address and requested image identifiers. Apple Maps provides map tiles and place names. Coordinates sent for place names describe places in the game or pins on the map, rather than your physical location. These services operate under their own privacy policies.

Permissions and browsing

The app does not request access to your physical location, camera, microphone, contacts, or photos. Credit links open websites inside the app. Those websites may receive network information and use cookies or other website storage under their own policies.

Storage and removal

Downloaded images may be cached on this device. Removing the app removes its local data, subject to any system backup and restore behavior. Game Center achievements are managed separately by Apple and are not removed by deleting Lost Atlas. The app does not provide an achievement reset control.

Service privacy policies

Apple and Mapillary operate their services under their own policies. Read Apple's privacy policy and Mapillary's privacy policy. The app's credit browser may load additional sites you choose to visit.

This website

The Lost Atlas website serves its own pages, styles, scripts, and images. It does not embed analytics, ad networks, third-party fonts, or a contact form. It does not set cookies or store visitor data in your browser. Its origin server does not log visitor IP addresses or request URLs.

The public website is delivered through Cloudflare, which processes connection information such as IP addresses and request metadata to deliver and secure the site. Cloudflare's handling and retention are described in its privacy policy. This infrastructure processing is separate from the Lost Atlas app's on-device game records.
