Privacy policy
Effective October 14, 2026
Feathered Defenders is a game about California gulls protecting a Utah farm from locusts. It is made by Comparative Imaging, Inc. ("we"). This policy explains what the game collects, why, and the choices you have. The short version: there are no accounts, no ads, no analytics and no tracking, and we never sell anything about you.
What the game collects
- A name you choose, only if you play online or post a high score. When you make or join an online game, or put a score on the world high-score list, the game sends the name you typed (up to 16 characters) to our game server. Other players in your game, and visitors to the high-score list, can see that name. Please use a nickname, not your real full name. Children should not use their real names.
- Your scores. High scores you choose to post are stored with the name you entered, the level and the date.
- Gameplay controls during online games. While you play online, your gull's steering and button presses are sent to our server and passed to the other players in that game so everyone sees the same farm. This is not stored after the game ends.
- Your outfit choice. If your gull wears an outfit, that choice is shared with the other players in your online game.
- Promo codes (website only). If you redeem a promo code on the website, the game creates a random identifier on your device and our server stores a one-way scrambled version of it with the code, so a code with a limit can count how many devices used it. It is not linked to your name or anything else about you.
What the game does not collect
- No accounts, email addresses, phone numbers, contacts, photos or location.
- No advertising, advertising identifiers, analytics or tracking, and no data shared with data brokers.
- Tilt steering reads your device's motion sensors on the device only; nothing about motion leaves the device.
- Your progress, stars, settings and chosen outfit are saved only on your own device.
Purchases
Purchases (the Full Valley and gull outfits) are handled entirely by Apple's App Store or Google Play. We never see your payment details. The store tells the game which items you own so it can unlock them.
Our game server
Online play and high scores run on our server at play.sitesparkignite.com in the United States. Like any internet service, it receives your device's IP address to make the connection; we do not store or log IP addresses for identifying players. Online games exist only while they are being played. Posted high scores are kept until we reset the lists.
Children
Feathered Defenders is for everyone, including a Kids mode for young players. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. Kids mode and solo play send nothing to our server. A child playing online or posting a score shares only the nickname typed in, so we ask parents to help children choose a nickname that isn't their real name. If you believe a child has entered personal information, contact us and we will delete it.
Your choices
- You can play without ever going online or posting a score; nothing is then sent to us.
- To remove a name or score from the high-score lists, email us with the name, level and roughly when it was posted.
- Deleting the app removes everything it saved on your device.
Changes
If this policy changes, we will update this page and the date above.
