Pod Digger: Signal Below. Last updated: 10 November 2026

Who is responsible

Pod Digger: Signal Below ("the game") is made and published by Nicu Glavan, an independent developer, under the name GN33. I am responsible for the game and for this policy. If you have any question about it, write to me at contact.gn33@gmail.com.

In short

The game collects no personal data. It has no ads, no analytics, no accounts and no in-app purchases, and it does not connect to the internet. Everything the game remembers stays on your phone, and I never see it.

What the game keeps on your phone

To let you carry on where you left off, the game saves a few things in its own storage on your device:

• your progress: the world, your Pod, its upgrades and items, your cash and how far you have dug;
• your statistics and achievements;
• your settings, such as the language, sound, music and control options;
• the pilot name you choose, if you type one.

This data never leaves your phone. The game does not send it to me or to anyone else, and it is not copied to your Google account by Android's backup. Uninstalling the game, or clearing its data in your phone's settings, deletes all of it.

What the game does not do

• It has no permission to use the internet, so it cannot send or receive anything.
• It does not show ads and contains no advertising or tracking code.
• It does not use analytics or crash-reporting services of its own.
• It does not ask for an account, an email address or any other contact details.
• It does not access your location, contacts, photos, camera, microphone or files.
• The only permission it asks for is vibration, used for haptic feedback while you play.

Links

The Website button on the game's About page opens this website in your phone's browser. Once you are on the website, the game is no longer involved, and the section below applies.

This website

This website sets no cookies, has no analytics or tracking, and loads nothing from other sites: its fonts and images come from the same server as the page. Like any web server, the company that hosts it keeps short-lived technical logs of requests (such as the IP address, the time and the page asked for) to keep the service running and secure. I do not use these logs to identify anyone.

Google Play

When you download the game from Google Play, Google processes data under its own privacy policy. Google gives me statistics about the game, such as how many people installed it. If you allowed your phone to share usage and diagnostics data with Google, Google may also give me reports of crashes and freezes, which include technical details such as the device model and Android version. These reports do not include your name or contact details, and I use them only to fix problems in the game.

Children

The game is made for players of all ages. It collects no personal data from anyone, including children.

Your rights

Under data protection laws such as the EU's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), you have the right to ask what personal data I hold about you, and to have it corrected or deleted. Through the game I hold no personal data about you, as everything stays on your phone. If you email me, I use your email address and your message only to answer you, and delete them when the conversation is over. You can also complain to the data protection authority in your country.

Changes to this policy

If the game changes in a way that affects your privacy, I will update this page before that version of the game is released, and change the date at the top.
