Pineapple Simulator
Privacy Policy
The short version is that there is nothing to collect, so we don't.
Pineapple Simulator does not collect personal data. It contains no analytics, no advertising, and no tracking SDKs. It has no user accounts.
The only data the app sends anywhere is a city name you type into the settings panel, sent over HTTPS to Open-Meteo to retrieve local weather. Everything else stays on your device.
What the app collects
Nothing on any server we operate. We do not run a server. There is no account, no sign-in, no profile, no telemetry, no crash reporting, and no analytics SDK in the app.
What is stored on your device
The app saves the following locally, in private app storage that other apps cannot read:
- Your settings — volume, motion preferences, weather refresh interval, location mode, manually-entered city, debug time offset.
- Your observation log — which deadpan in-game observations you have already seen, with first-seen timestamps.
- Visit count, unlocked pedestal styles, and the photo-attempt counter.
- A cached copy of the most recent weather response, so the app continues to look right when offline.
If you uninstall the app, Android deletes all of this. You can also clear it manually through your device's Settings → Apps → Pineapple Simulator → Storage.
What goes over the network
When the app fetches the weather, it sends two HTTPS requests:
- To
geocoding-api.open-meteo.com, with the city name you entered (or a default), to resolve it into latitude and longitude. - To
api.open-meteo.com, with those coordinates, to retrieve the current weather forecast.
No identifier, account, device ID, or personal information is attached to these requests. No headers are added beyond what Godot's HTTP client sends by default.
The app makes no other network requests of any kind.
Third-party services
One: Open-Meteo, used for weather data. Open-Meteo does not require an account and does not return user-identifying data. Open-Meteo's own terms and privacy practices apply to the requests above and are available at open-meteo.com/en/terms.
Permissions
The app requests two Android permissions, both required only for the weather feature:
INTERNET— to make the HTTPS requests above.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE— to check whether the device is online before attempting a request.
The app does not request, and cannot access, your location, camera, microphone, contacts, photos, storage outside its own sandbox, or any other sensitive permission.
Cookies, advertising, analytics
None. The app is not a web view and does not use cookies. There is no advertising integration. There is no analytics SDK. There is no third-party tracking.
Children's privacy
The app is rated for general audiences. Because no personal data is collected from anyone, no personal data is knowingly collected from children either. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has somehow provided personal information through the app, please contact the address below; we will be very surprised, and will help investigate.
Your rights
Because no personal data is collected, there is no personal data on our side to access, correct, delete, or export. Local data on your device can be cleared by uninstalling the app or by clearing app data through your device's Settings.
If you are a resident of the EU, UK, or another jurisdiction with general data protection laws, the same is true: there is no controller-held personal data about you to act on. For questions, use the contact below.
Changes
If this policy materially changes, the Last updated date at the top of the page will change with it. Past versions are available through the public source history at the project's repository (replace with the actual link if you publish the policy in a public repo).
