The Northern Lights Leave No Trail — Neither Do We
Aurora Catch captures the beauty of the polar night. Like the aurora itself — beautiful, transient, leaving no physical trace — your interaction with this Game leaves almost no data footprint. Your best score is saved to localStorage under aura_best. It flickers in your browser alone. We cannot see it, read it, or recover it. It vanishes if you clear your browser data, just as aurora ribbons fade with the sunrise.
Server Logs and External Requests
Our server receives a standard HTTP request when you load the Game — your IP address, browser identifier, timestamp, URL path. This is the irreducible minimum for serving a web page. Logs are kept for 30 days for security purposes only, then deleted. The Josefin Sans typeface is loaded from Google Fonts — one external request, per Google's data practices. No tracking infrastructure of any kind is present in Aurora Catch. No analytics. No advertising. No social integrations. Nothing that observes or records your play session beyond the server's access log.
Children, Rights, and Policy Updates
Aurora Catch is for all ages. The northern lights belong to everyone, and so does this game. We collect no personal data from any player. No parental action is needed. If our data practices ever change — even a small telemetry addition — we will describe the change in full before it takes effect.
Your Data Rights
Players in jurisdictions with formal privacy rights — including GDPR, CCPA, LGPD, and similar legislation — may request information about data we hold. Because we retain only brief, anonymised server-access logs, such requests will ordinarily confirm that we hold no personal data linked to any individual. We respond within legally required timeframes. To submit a request, use the official Aurora Catch website or repository contact channel.
No Sale, No Sharing
We do not sell, rent, trade, or share any data with third parties for commercial purposes. If we were ever legally compelled to disclose server-log data — for example, by a valid court order — we would comply with applicable law. We would not do so voluntarily for commercial reasons, because we have no commercial relationship with any data buyer or broker.
