OBERTH Privacy Policy
Effective
This policy covers OBERTH, a game published by Ostemar Works (Martin Östemar, Sweden). It applies to every version of the game — Android, desktop and the browser build — and it is the policy referenced from the game's store listings.
OBERTH collects nothing and transmits nothing. It has no networking code at all. Everything the game remembers stays on the device you played it on.
What OBERTH does not do
- No accounts and no sign-in.
- No analytics, telemetry or crash reporting.
- No advertising and no advertising identifiers.
- No third-party SDKs.
- No tracking, profiling or device fingerprinting.
- No network requests of any kind. The game does not contain code to make them.
Because nothing is transmitted, no data about you is collected, shared or sold, and none of it can be seen by Ostemar Works.
What is stored on your device
So that your progress survives closing the game, OBERTH writes a save file to local storage on the device. It is written and read only by the game.
Where it is kept
- Browser version
- Your browser's
localStoragefor the site hosting the game. - Android
- The app's private internal storage, which other apps cannot read.
- Desktop
- The user data directory —
%APPDATA%\oberthon Windows, and$XDG_DATA_HOMEelsewhere, falling back to$HOME/.local/share.
What it contains
- Your best time on each level.
- Medals and badges you have earned.
- Per-level counters: attempts, clears, crashes and time played.
- Which tutorial cards you have already been shown.
- Replay data for your own best runs.
- Preferences: music volume, and whether the best-run ghost is displayed.
None of this is personal data. It does not identify you, it is never sent anywhere, and Ostemar Works has no way to see it.
Deleting your data
Since the save file is the only thing OBERTH stores, deleting it removes everything the game holds about you:
- Android: uninstall the app, or clear its storage in system settings.
- Browser: clear site data or local storage for the page you played on, using your browser's settings.
- Desktop: delete the save file from the directory listed above.
There is nothing to request from Ostemar Works, because there is nothing held here to return or erase.
Distribution platforms
OBERTH is distributed through stores and hosts such as Google Play and itch.io. Those platforms collect their own data — about downloads, purchases and accounts — under their own privacy policies, independently of the game. That processing belongs to the platform rather than to Ostemar Works, and is covered by the policy of whichever platform you obtained or played the game through.
Changes to this policy
If OBERTH ever gains a feature that transmits data — online leaderboards, for example — this policy will be updated to describe it beforethat feature ships. The effective date above changes with any update.
