Privacy Policy

Last updated: 20 June 2026

Hivebreak is a single-player game for Apple Vision Pro developed by Josh Fisk (“we”, “us”). This page describes what data the app collects and how it’s used.

What we collect

Nothing directly. Hivebreak itself does not collect, store, or transmit any personal information from your device.

The app uses Apple’s hand-tracking, world-sensing, and (optionally) accessory- tracking APIs to detect your hand poses (for aiming and firing), the position of your head (to anchor enemies and the cockpit), and, if you enable it, the pose of PlayStation VR2 Sense controllers (to fly the ship). All of this data is processed on-device by the operating system and the app. None of it is sent to us, recorded, or shared with third parties.

Apple Music

The Space Flight cockpit includes optional controls (play / pause / skip) for Apple Music. If you use them, playback is handled entirely by Apple’s Music app on your device; we don’t access your library, listening history, or any account data, and nothing is sent to us.

Game Center (online leaderboards)

Hivebreak submits scores to Apple Game Center for three optional public leaderboards: best endless wave, fastest Overseer clear time, and most bugs killed in a single run. When you reach a leaderboard-eligible result, your Game Center alias (the public nickname you’ve configured in iOS / visionOS) and that single score are sent directly from your device to Apple’s servers, where they appear on the leaderboard alongside other players’ scores.

Important details:

• The data flows directly between your device and Apple. We don’t see, store, or have access to it; we only see the public leaderboards anyone can see in Game Center.
• Apple’s privacy policy governs how Game Center data is handled: https://www.apple.com/legal/privacy/.
• To opt out, sign out of Game Center on your Vision Pro before playing, or disable score submissions in Settings → Game Center. Score submissions silently no-op when Game Center is signed out; the rest of the game works identically.

We do not use:

• Analytics or telemetry services
• Advertising networks
• Crash-reporting services
• Cookies, web beacons, or tracking pixels
• Third-party SDKs that collect data
• Any data flow other than the Game Center submissions described above

What’s stored locally

Hivebreak saves a small amount of game progress to your device using Apple’s standard UserDefaults storage:

• Your highest endless-mode wave
• Your in-progress run state, so you can resume after exiting

This data lives only on your Vision Pro, never leaves it, and is removed if you delete the app.

Children’s privacy

Hivebreak is rated for ages 9+ and contains stylized fantasy combat. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone, including children.

Changes to this policy

If we ever change what the app collects, this page will be updated and the “Last updated” date above will change. Material changes will also be noted in App Store release notes.
