Holy Mackerel

Privacy Policy

Last updated 1 October 2026

Holy Mackerel is an arcade game about a cat, a flying machine and a great many fish. It collects nothing about you.

The short version


What is stored on your device

Your progress: worlds cleared, stars, scores, coins, upgrades, the fish you have caught, missions, achievements and your settings. It is written to the game's own storage on your iPhone or iPad. It is not read by us, and deleting the game deletes it.

iCloud

If you are signed in to iCloud, the game keeps a copy of your progress in your iCloud account (iCloud key-value storage) so it follows you to your other devices. That copy is stored by Apple in your account. We have no access to it.

Game Center

If you are signed in to Game Center, the game sends your scores to its leaderboards and your achievements to your Game Center profile. This is handled by Apple and covered by Apple's privacy policy. You can sign out of Game Center in Settings on your device; the game works the same without it.

Purchases

The full game is a single in-app purchase made through the App Store. Apple processes the payment and tells the game only whether the purchase has been made. We receive no personal or payment information.

Children

The game collects no personal information from anyone, including children.

Changes

If this policy ever changes, the new version will be posted here with a new date. If the game ever starts collecting anything, this page will say what, and why, before it does.
