Summary
This policy covers the Biological Games website and games published by Biological Games, including Pulse and future releases of Surge. It describes our current practices; a game-specific notice may supplement this policy if a title uses different services.
Biological Games does not provide studio accounts, cloud profiles, an email signup, or a website analytics system. Game progress is generally stored on your device. We do not sell or rent personal information.
01 Scope
This policy applies when you:
- Visit biological.games or another website operated by Biological Games.
- Install or play a game published by Biological Games.
- Contact Biological Games by email.
App stores, advertising providers, purchase processors, hosting providers, and websites reached through external links operate under their own privacy policies. Their current roles are described below.
02 Website data
The Biological Games website has no account system, contact form, newsletter, advertising, or analytics service controlled by us. We do not set advertising cookies or use tracking pixels.
Some interactive pages may use localStorage to remember interface state on your device. That state is not sent to Biological Games and can be removed by clearing this site's browser data.
The website is hosted and protected by Cloudflare. Cloudflare may process technical request information such as IP address, traffic-routing data, system configuration, and security data to deliver and protect the site. See the Cloudflare Privacy Policy.
If you email us, we receive the email address, message, and attachments you choose to send. We use that information to respond and handle the request.
03 Game data
Biological Games games do not currently require a studio account or cloud profile. A game may store progress, settings, and unlocks locally on your device.
Pulse currently stores the following on-device:
- Best level, best score, banked orbs, equipped cosmetics, and selected Progenitor.
- Your local per-Progenitor leaderboard and 2-4 character player tag.
- Sound preferences, Pulse Pass progress, quests, and achievements.
Pulse uses operating-system storage (localStorage in browser builds and Capacitor Preferences in native builds). It does not transmit this save to a Biological Games server. Uninstalling the game or clearing its storage removes the local save.
Surge is in development. Before an alpha or public release, we will update this policy or provide a game-specific notice if its data handling differs.
04 Purchases and advertising
Rewarded ads in Pulse are optional. Pulse has no banners, interstitials, or forced advertisements. Rewarded videos appear only on clearly marked bonus actions.
- Store payments are processed by Google Play or, if an iOS edition launches, Apple. Biological Games does not receive your payment-card details, billing address, or store password.
- RevenueCat validates Pulse purchases and entitlements using a randomly generated app user ID, purchase receipt, platform, device country, and app version.
- Google AdMob provides optional rewarded videos in Pulse and may process device information, advertising identifiers, consent choices, IP address, and ad events.
- No Biological Games analytics are included in the current website or current game builds.
If another Biological Games title adds purchases, advertising, analytics, online services, or new device permissions, its store listing or in-game notice and this policy will be updated before that processing begins.
05 Third-party services
Delivers and protects the Biological Games website and may process technical traffic and security data needed to provide those services. See the Cloudflare Privacy Policy.

06 Children's privacy
Biological Games services are not directed at children under 13. Individual game ratings appear in their store listings and may vary by region. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Parents and guardians should use Apple Screen Time, Family Sharing, Google Family Link, or equivalent device controls to restrict purchases or ad-supported reward actions. Pulse's rewarded ads are optional.
07 Your privacy rights
Depending on where you live and which laws apply, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, portability, restriction, or objection; withdraw consent; or complain about how personal information is handled.
For local website or game data, clear the relevant browser or app storage or uninstall the game. For Pulse purchase data processed by RevenueCat on our behalf, send your request to Biological Games and we will instruct RevenueCat to assist where applicable.
Cloudflare, Apple, and Google may independently control information in their systems. You can use their account-level privacy tools or contact us and we will help identify the appropriate route. Australian residents may also contact the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner.
08 Retention and changes
- On-device data remains until you clear the relevant site or app storage or uninstall the game.
- Email correspondence is kept only as long as reasonably needed to respond, maintain necessary business records, or meet legal obligations.
- Purchase, advertising, store, and hosting data is retained by the relevant provider under its policy and applicable legal requirements.
We will update this policy before introducing a Biological Games account, cloud save, analytics pipeline, new advertising model, or other material change to how information is handled. The effective date at the top will change when the policy is revised.
