Delete your data
You don't need an account to play Tetherline. Deleting your data removes your progress on this iPhone and the anonymous data linked to it on our servers.
In the app
- Open Tetherline and go to Settings.
- Tap “Delete my data” and confirm.
- Your progress on this device is deleted immediately and the game starts again from the beginning with a new, unrelated player ID.
- The server deletion request is queued, even when you are offline, and sent the next time you have a connection. Until it is accepted, Settings shows “Deletion request pending”.
- Once our server accepts it, your anonymous account, device credential and linked records are deleted, and your customer record at RevenueCat (our purchase provider) is deleted, within 24 hours.
When cloud save is introduced, this option will become Settings → Account → “Delete account and cloud data”, with the same effect on server data.
If you can't use the app
Email support@kilimgames.com with the subject “Data deletion”. Tell us roughly when you installed the game and, if you made a purchase, the purchase date and product. We will delete the purchase-related records manually and confirm by email. You can also use this address to request deletion of analytics data held by Google or Meta.
What deletion does not cover
- Purchases recorded by Apple. They stay on your Apple ID and can be restored with Restore Purchases. The Starter Pack's one-time Scrap bonus is not granted again.
- Backups. Copies in our encrypted server backups are overwritten within 35 days. If a backup is ever restored, deletions are re-applied automatically.
- Pseudonymous deletion log (kept 3 years) and the one-time reward record (store transaction ID and date only, no longer linked to you). Details in the privacy policy.
- Your own device backups (iCloud or computer), which only you control.
Uninstalling the app deletes your local progress but not the server data; use “Delete my data” first.
