Last Ship
Privacy policy.
Last updated 7 November 2026
Last Ship is a game made by TrueMagic SIA, a company registered in Latvia (5 - 23 Plavnieku iela, Riga, LV-1021, Latvia). We are responsible for the data described here (its "controller" under the EU's GDPR). For any question or request, write to support@truemagic.io.
In short
- There's no account: the game never asks for your name, email or phone number.
- It tells our server how the game is played, under a random ID made on install, so we can fix and improve it.
- Ads come from Google AdMob, which collects its own data to show and measure ads.
- Only if you allow it, the game tells Meta (Facebook) that you installed and play it, so our ads reach people who'll enjoy the game. You can turn this off in Settings.
- Reminders are made on your phone, only if you allow notifications.
- We don't sell your data.
What the game sends us
- A random install ID, made when you first open the game. It isn't your advertising ID and isn't linked to your name or Google account. It's left out of your phone's backups, and reinstalling the game makes a new one.
- How you play: each run you fly (the sector, how long it lasted, how it ended, ships destroyed, your ship and its power), what you earn and spend of the game's energy, cores and fragments, the chest you open, the turrets you merge and evolve, the ships you unlock and fly, the missions and daily rewards you collect, the first minutes of your first run (for example when you first shot or upgraded), when sessions start and end, and whether you allow reminders and open the game from one. The shop's paid items are marked "Coming soon" in this version and can't be bought; we count which ones you tap, to learn what players want. The currencies in the game are not real money.
- Ads: which reward an ad was offered for (free cores, a supply drop, a continue after your ship is lost, new command cards), when an ad shows and what it earned us, whether you earned its reward, and an error code when an ad fails to load.
- The app and your phone: the app version, that it runs on Android, your phone's model and Android version, your language and time zone, and how the game was installed (the store's install referrer: for example, that you came from a link we posted).
- Your country: from your SIM card or mobile network, the country only.
- Your answers to the Meta question below and to reminders (allow or no, and which kinds you switch off), so we know how many players say yes.
We don't collect your name, email, phone number, contacts, photos or files, or your precise location. Our server doesn't receive your advertising ID and doesn't store IP addresses.
Your ship, your game currencies and your settings are saved on your phone, not on our server. If Android's backup is on, your phone may copy them to your own Google account's backup, which we can't see. The game also asks our server for its settings; that sends only the install ID and the app version.
Reminders (a finished patrol, the next day of the log-in calendar, a run saved at its checkpoint, and a note after a few days away) are scheduled on your phone itself, only if you allow notifications. We send no push messages from a server. You can switch each kind off in Settings or in your phone's settings.
Why we use it
- To run the game and fix problems.
- To balance the game and test improvements. Different players may get slightly different settings while we compare them.
- To learn which of our posts, links and ads bring players who enjoy the game.
Ads
The game shows optional videos from Google AdMob that you can choose to watch for a reward. Google's ad software in the game collects and shares data itself: your advertising ID, your IP address (used to estimate your general location), how you interact with ads, and diagnostic data. Google uses it to show ads, measure them and prevent fraud. Google explains this at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.
Where the law requires it, for example in the EU and the UK, the game asks for your consent before showing personalised ads, and requests no ads until you've answered. You can change your answer in Settings ("Ad privacy choices"). You can also reset or delete your advertising ID, or turn off personalised ads, in your phone's settings.
Meta (Facebook), only if you allow it
We advertise Last Ship on Facebook and Instagram. After you clear your first sector, the game asks whether it may share that you installed and play it with Meta. Until you tap Allow, Meta's software in the game stays switched off and sends Meta nothing. If you allow it, it sends Meta:
- that the game was installed and opened, and two moments of play: your first cleared sector, and coming back on a later day than the install;
- your advertising ID, an anonymous ID that Meta's software makes for the game, and whether you came from a Facebook or Instagram ad (read from the Facebook and Instagram apps on your phone, if you have them);
- basic facts about the app and your phone that Meta's software adds itself: the app version, your phone's model and Android version, language, time zone, mobile carrier, screen size and storage size, and your IP address;
- reports from Meta's software when it crashes itself.
It never sends your name, email, contacts or your game currencies. Meta uses this to count which ads bring players and to show our ads to people like the ones who enjoy the game, under Meta's privacy policy. To stop it, turn off "Share installs with Meta" in Settings. You can also reset or delete your advertising ID in your phone's settings.
Who else handles the data
- Amazon Web Services hosts our server and stores the data in Ireland (EU), on our behalf.
- Google distributes the game (Google Play) and serves its ads (AdMob), under Google's privacy policy.
- Meta (Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd.) receives the install and play events described above, only if you allow it.
Our own server doesn't share your data with anyone. Everything the game sends travels encrypted (HTTPS). If you live outside the EU, your data is sent to our server in the EU.
How long we keep it
- Detailed play data (every run and every change of your currencies) is deleted after 180 days.
- A short summary for each install (install date, country, how the game was installed, and daily counts of games and ads) is kept while we run the game, linked only to the random install ID.
Your choices and rights
- Stop it: uninstall the game and it sends nothing more. Reinstalling starts with a new ID.
- Delete it: email support@truemagic.io with the install ID shown at the bottom of the game's Settings, and we'll delete everything linked to it within 30 days. We don't know who you are, so we can't find your data without that ID.
- Your rights: depending on where you live (for example under the EU's GDPR or Brazil's LGPD), you can ask to see, correct, delete or take a copy of your data, and object to how we use it. Write to us and we'll answer within 30 days.
- Complaints: you can complain to the Latvian Data State Inspectorate (Datu valsts inspekcija, www.dvi.gov.lv) or to the data protection authority where you live.
Legal basis (EU and UK)
We use play data because we have a legitimate interest in running, fixing and improving the game (GDPR Article 6(1)(f)). Personalised ads, and sharing installs and play with Meta, run only with your consent (Article 6(1)(a)), which you can change at any time in Settings.
Children
The game isn't made for children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect data from them. If a child under 13 has played and you want their data deleted, email us with the install ID.
This website
lastship.io uses no cookies, analytics or trackers, and we keep no visitor logs.
Changes
If the game starts collecting anything new (for example, real purchases once the shop opens, or saving your progress online), we'll update this page first and change the date at the top.
