1. What the app does
Fart Me To The Moon is a single-player iOS game with an optional online leaderboard. The app only sends data needed to submit scores, show leaderboards, look up your rank, or search for a friend code. There is no cross-app tracking, no analytics SDKs, no ads, and no third-party tracking pixels.
Stored on your device only:
- Player name, chosen country, avatar class, coins, upgrades, achievements
- Recent foods eaten, personal bests per planet
- iCloud key-value store entries used for cross-device progress sync
Sent to our leaderboard server (fartmetothemoon.com) when you use leaderboard features:
- A random per-install device ID (UUID generated once on first launch, not linked to your Apple ID)
- The nickname you chose
- The ISO country code you selected (never a GPS location)
- When you submit a run: numeric score, flight time, fart count, coins collected, highest planet reached, launch planet, and whether the BEYOND THE MOON in-app purchase is owned
- The app version string (e.g.
0.34.3)
- When you browse leaderboard features: the country leaderboard you requested, your own rank lookup by your in-app player ID, or the friend code you searched for
No email, phone number, precise location, contacts, photos, microphone, or camera access is requested.
2. Why this data is sent
The purpose is to power the leaderboard features inside the app — global, country, per-planet, time-limited periods, your own rank lookup, and friend-code lookup. The server is ours, hosted on our own Laravel backend.
3. Data retention and deletion
Scores are kept indefinitely so older leaderboard periods (yearly and all-time) keep working. If you want your records deleted:
- In app: tap
RESET on the main menu, then confirm. This clears your local save and regenerates a new device ID; your previous server records will no longer be linked to you.
- Through the support form: send your friend code (visible in-app), and we will delete the associated server-side records.
4. Children
Fart Me To The Moon is rated for ages 9+ in the App Store. We do not ask for an email, a real name, or any information that could identify a child. The nickname is self-chosen and may be changed at any time from the main menu.
5. Third parties
None. The app contains no analytics SDK, no advertising SDK, no attribution SDK, and no external dependencies (country flags use native Unicode emoji). The only outbound network connections go to api.fartmetothemoon.com.
6. Ads
The game does not contain ads. There are no banner ads, video ads, rewarded ads, or any other form of advertising in the app.
7. In-app purchases
The BEYOND THE MOON expansion is a one-time non-consumable purchase processed by Apple's StoreKit. We do not see your payment details; Apple does. We record only a boolean flag (has_expansion) on the leaderboard record so expansion players are visible in expansion leaderboards.
8. Support form on this website
The support form on this website is processed by the site's PHP backend. Submissions are checked with Cloudflare Turnstile to reduce spam and abuse, then sent through the configured SMTP mail provider for delivery to the support team.
Basic technical server logs created by the website host (IP address, browser details, timestamps) may also be recorded. Support messages may be kept for as long as reasonably necessary to answer questions, fix bugs, or resolve abuse.
