Shellworks privacy policy

Last updated November 10, 2026. Developer: Caden Burleson. Contact: support@cadenburleson.com

The short version

Shellworks does not collect any data. There are no accounts, no ads, no purchases, no analytics and no tracking. The game does not connect to the internet.

What the game keeps on your device

Your factory, your progress and your settings (sound, reduced motion, frame rate) are saved only on your device. They are not sent to us or to anyone else, and we cannot see them. Deleting the app deletes them, unless your phone's own backup restores them. "Start a new factory" in Settings erases the saved factory.

Backup files

If you choose "Back up this factory" in Settings, the game makes a file of your factory and hands it to your phone's share sheet. You decide where it goes. The file holds game progress only, and the game sends it nowhere by itself. "Load a backup" reads a file you pick and nothing else.

Ads, purchases and third parties

This version of Shellworks has no ads and nothing to buy. It includes no advertising, analytics or tracking software from any other company, and it does not use your advertising identifier.

Permissions

The game asks for no permissions. It does not use your contacts, photos, camera, microphone or location.

Children

Shellworks collects no personal information from anyone, including children.

Changes and contact

If a later version changes any of this, for example by adding ads or purchases, this policy will be updated here with a new date before that version is released. Questions or requests: support@cadenburleson.com.
