Delete your data
How to have your Apollo Boy data deleted: what to send us, what's deleted, what's kept and for how long, and the data you delete yourself.
Help pages
This page is for the Apollo Boy app, made by StackBlender (StackBlender LLC). You don’t need an account or sign-in to play or host online: your games, saves and settings stay on your device, and we keep no purchase or play history on our servers (Privacy Policy).
Data held by StackBlender
If you contact support, StackBlender retains your email correspondence. You may request its deletion by following the steps below.
Google maintains your Pro purchase record in your Google account. StackBlender does not retain the purchase or integrity tokens used to verify online hosting.
Ask us to delete your data
- Email support@stackblender.com with the subject Delete my Apollo Boy data.
- Identify the email correspondence you want deleted, including roughly when you wrote to us.
- Unless a shorter mandatory local period or a country-specific procedure below applies, we reply within 30 days, confirming what we deleted, or explaining what we must keep and why (for example, data needed to deal with fraud or a legal claim). If a request is complex and the law where you live allows it (without overriding those local procedures), we may take up to 30 more days; if so, we’ll tell you within the first 30 days, with the reason. Deleted data can stay in our database provider’s restorable backup (Cloudflare D1 Time Travel) for up to 30 days, and is gone after that.
To protect your data, we may ask you to confirm the request from the email address you used to contact us, or ask something only the sender would know. A parent who thinks their child sent us an email can ask the same way.
Costa Rica: data-rights requests are resolved free of charge within 5 business days of receipt. This country-specific procedure in Your rights replaces the general deadlines above. Use the same support address.
Mexico: the ARCO procedure and its 20-business-day decision / 15-further-business-day implementation periods in Your rights apply instead of the general deadlines above. Use the same support address for access, correction, cancellation, opposition or consent withdrawal; electronic access is free.
Your privacy contact
StackBlender LLC’s person in charge of the protection of personal information (its Privacy Officer, also its data protection officer) can be reached at support@stackblender.com or by mail: StackBlender LLC, 2222 W Grand River Ave, Ste A, Okemos, MI 48864, United States. Use this contact for questions about privacy or requests to access, correct or delete your data.
The data a feature sends us may be processed and stored in the United States and in other countries where our service providers (Cloudflare and Google) operate, including outside your own country or province. Wherever it’s held, it may be accessible to courts, law enforcement and national-security authorities under that country’s law, including US law. See the Privacy Policy.
If you’re under 14 and live in Quebec, the person having parental authority or the tutor must consent before you email us or buy anything in the app (Children).
What’s deleted, and what’s kept
| Data | How it’s deleted | Kept until then |
|---|---|---|
| Purchase token, obfuscated account ID and integrity token sent to host an online room | Checked, never stored | Not kept (a passed check’s result is held in memory for a few minutes) |
| Online rooms and what’s in them | Automatically, when the room closes | Until the room closes (an empty room closes after 30 minutes; any room after 12 hours at most); a minimal retry record up to 12 hours and two minutes |
| Anonymous counts (relay use, busy relay, how games connected) | Not personal data; nothing to delete | The current calendar month (UTC) and the 12 months before it |
| Email you send us, including this request | On request | While we answer it, and at most 12 months (90 days after your request is closed) |
| Your IP address in Cloudflare’s request logs and rate-limit counters | Automatically | Kept by Cloudflare under its own policy, currently up to 7 days; we can’t delete them sooner |
Data you delete yourself
- On your device (games, saves, save states, resume points, cheat codes, settings, sign-ins, the app’s log, your terms acceptance): uninstalling Apollo Boy deletes them from your device (if you moved to a new phone with Android’s transfer tool, delete them there too). Screenshots, clips and copies you exported stay in your gallery or where you saved them; delete them there. The trial start date and purchase identifier kept through Google Play services’ Block Store can outlast uninstalling, as described below.
- Google Drive backup (Pro): these files go straight between your device and your own Drive, and StackBlender never receives them. Turn the backup off with the Backup switch in Settings > Google Drive backup. To delete one game’s backups, use Remove from Drive… in the app. To delete them all, open Google Drive’s settings, choose Manage apps, and delete Apollo Boy’s hidden data, or remove Apollo Boy’s access in your Google Account.
- RetroAchievements: sign out in Settings > RetroAchievements to remove the sign-in token from your device. Your RetroAchievements account and its achievements belong to retroachievements.org; ask them to delete it.
Data held by others
- Google Play services’ Block Store keeps the free trial’s start date and the app-made purchase identifier (Google Play’s obfuscated account ID) in Google’s backup of the app where backup is enabled; if you started a free trial in an earlier test version of Apollo Boy, it may also hold the random trial ID that version made. These can survive uninstalling. Google handles it under its own privacy policy.
- Google Play keeps the record of your Pro purchase on your Google account and restores Pro on your devices. Google also handles Android vitals and the Play Integrity checks, and logs the checks we ask it for, under its own privacy policy.
- Cloudflare, which runs our services, keeps request logs and rate-limit counters under its own privacy policy, currently for up to 7 days.
