Privacy Policy

Last updated: January 2025

Solar Bear is a game about surviving a warming world. Ironically, it has one of the smallest digital footprints possible. We collect no data, store nothing on our servers, and have no servers receiving anything from you to begin with.

How the Game Works

Solar Bear is a client-side browser application. Every game loop, every leap over a glacier, every fish collected — all of it is computed by your own device's processor using your own browser's JavaScript engine. No data stream flows out of your browser to us during or after gameplay.

Storing Your Record

Solar Bear saves your best distance to your browser's local storage. This is a standard browser feature that stores small amounts of data for a specific website on the user's own device. We have no server-side access to it. If you want to clear your record, you can do so at any time through your browser's settings by clearing site data for this page.

Tracking and Advertising

Solar Bear contains no advertising and no tracking. There are no analytics services embedded in this game, no retargeting pixels, no session recorders, and no cookies of any kind. We have made a deliberate choice not to monetise player attention through data, and that choice is permanent as long as this game exists in its current form.

Third-Party Fonts

The Barlow Condensed and Nunito typefaces are served from Google Fonts, a content delivery network. Fetching these fonts involves your browser making an outbound HTTP request to Google's servers, which may record your IP address as part of standard CDN operation. This is subject to Google's own privacy terms. We receive nothing from this process.

Family-Friendly by Design

Solar Bear is suitable for all ages, including young children. There is nothing in the game's operation that could result in a minor's data being captured or stored by us. Parents are welcome to let their kids play without concern.

Policy Updates

If we ever make changes to how this game handles data, the updated policy will appear on this page with a new date. Any significant change — particularly any change that involved starting to collect personal information — would be communicated clearly before it took effect.
