Privacy

Last updated 26 September 2026

Oltre is a game, and it keeps only what it needs to run your colony while you are away. No analytics, no advertising, no tracking, and nothing is sold or shared for anyone's marketing. This page says exactly what is stored, where, and for how long.

Who is responsible

Oltre is made by Davide Farella, who is the controller of the data described here. Write to oltre@fardavide.dev about anything on this page.

What is stored, and why

• An account identifier from Apple or Google. Signing in with Apple or Google gives Oltre an opaque identifier that stands for your account with that provider, and that identifier is what brings you back to the same colony on any device. Oltre does not ask for your name. Your email address may travel inside the sign-in token; it is checked and then discarded, never stored.
• Your colony. The state of the game — facilities, research, ships, fleets, resources, experience, and when each of them last changed — so it keeps progressing while the app is closed and survives a new phone.
• The commander name and mark you choose. Optional. They are shown to the other members of an alliance you join or ask to join.
• Alliances. The name and tag of an alliance you found, your seat and role in one, when you joined, what you contributed to its treasury, and any request to join that is still waiting. Other members see the roster; anyone can find an alliance by its name.
• Retry records. A short-lived note of each command already applied, so one sent twice over a bad connection is not applied twice. They are pruned by age.
• Server logs. The hosting provider records each request's IP address, time, the address requested and the app's user agent. They are used only to keep the service running and to defend it from abuse.

On your device, the app keeps a copy of your colony and the session that keeps you signed in. Notifications about fleets and probes are scheduled on the device itself; nothing is sent to a push service.

The legal basis

Everything above except the server logs is processed because it is necessary to provide the game you signed up for. The logs are kept on the basis of a legitimate interest in running a service that stays up and is not abused.

Where it lives

• The server runs on Google Cloud Run in Belgium (europe-west1), and its logs are kept by Google Cloud.
• The database is Neon, a Postgres host, on AWS in Frankfurt (eu-central-1).
• Signing in is handled by Apple or Google, under their own privacy policies.

These providers process data on Oltre's behalf and for no purpose of their own. Nothing is shared with anyone else.

How long it is kept

• Your account, colony, profile and alliance seat: until you delete your account.
• The database keeps six hours of restore history, so deleted data is fully gone six hours after you delete it.
• Server logs: 30 days.

Your rights

You can see and change your commander name in the app at any time, and delete your account from the app's settings, which removes everything above that belongs to you. You can also ask for a copy of your data, ask for it to be corrected or erased, or object to how it is used, by writing to oltre@fardavide.dev. If you think your data has been mishandled, you can complain to the data protection authority where you live.

Children

Oltre is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly hold data about them beyond what is described here.

Changes

If this page changes, the date at the top changes with it, and the previous versions stay in the project's history.
