LAST SEEN · Updated September 2026
Privacy Policy
The short version
LAST SEEN has no accounts, no sign-in, and no tracking SDKs. We do not sell or share your personal data. Two things leave your phone. One is anonymous, aggregate gameplay tallies, such as how many cases were closed that day. The other is a message you type to someone in a case, which our server reads to choose their reply and does not keep.
On your device
Case progress, grades, rank, credits, settings, and the signature mark you draw at the oath are stored only in the app on your phone, using the system's local storage. They never leave the device unless you send them to us yourself.
Anonymous tallies
To understand which cases players enjoy, the app occasionally sends event counters (such as “case opened” or “case closed with grade A”) to our server. These are aggregate numbers with no user identifier, no device identifier, no IP-based profile, and no way to connect them to you.
Messages you type in a case
In a case, you can type to the people in the recovered phone. When you send a message, the app sends it to our server. It also sends the last few messages on screen in that conversation, and which case and contact they belong to.
Our server passes them to TypeSafe (typesafe.ai), a service that reads your message and picks the contact's reply from lines we wrote. It does not write a reply of its own.
We do not store your messages, and our logs do not record their words. TypeSafe does not train its models on them, and handles them under its own privacy terms. Each request carries an anonymous session token, and no name, account, or device identifier. It also carries proof that it comes from a genuine copy of the game. Apple vouches for the app on your device, and Google’s Firebase App Check checks that proof for our server. The proof identifies this copy of the app. It does not identify you.
Your messages stay in the game on your phone, so a conversation reads the same the next time you open it. To keep everything you write on your phone, tap the replies a case offers instead of typing.
When you email us
If you tap Send Feedback, the mail app may attach a diagnostics report (app version, system version, and basic game state like credits and which cases have saves) so we can reproduce bugs. You see the whole email before sending and can delete the attachment. We only use it to answer you.
Purchases
Apple processes purchases on iPhone, iPad and Mac, and Google Play processes purchases on Android. We never see your card details. We may receive anonymous confirmation that a purchase completed, to unlock what you bought.
Children
The game contains crime fiction and is intended for players 12 and up. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone, including children.
