This Privacy Policy explains how Eric Leibenguth EI, doing business as Slingshotter ("Slingshotter", "we", "us", or "our"), collects, uses, shares, and protects information when you visit the Slingshotter website or play the Slingshotter browser game.
If you have questions about this policy or your information, contact us at support@slingshotter.space.
Slingshotter is a browser-based spaceflight simulation game. The service uses Firebase for authentication, cloud saves, backend functions, hosting, and analytics; Stripe for payments; and Google sign-in when you choose it.
We do not sell personal information. We do not use advertising cookies. Analytics cookies are only enabled when you accept them in the cookie banner.
We collect information you choose to provide when you use Slingshotter, including:
Password authentication is handled by Firebase Authentication. Slingshotter does not receive or store your plaintext password.
When you use Slingshotter, we may collect:
Slingshotter uses browser storage for essential functions, including account persistence and cookie consent. Firebase Authentication may store authentication state in your browser so you can stay signed in.
If you accept analytics cookies, Firebase Analytics may use cookies or similar browser storage for analytics. If you choose "Essential only", analytics storage is denied and analytics collection is disabled.
We use information to:
The Slingshotter landing page includes a cookie banner with two choices:
Slingshotter sets Firebase Analytics consent so that ad storage, ad user data, and ad personalization are denied. Analytics storage is granted only after you accept analytics.
You can change your choice by clearing this site's browser storage and reloading the site.
Payments are handled by Stripe. When you start a checkout, Slingshotter sends Stripe the checkout price, return URL, your Firebase user identifier, and, if available, your account email address. Stripe processes the payment details you enter in its checkout experience.
Slingshotter stores payment-related records needed to apply the purchase to your game account, such as your plan, purchase time, last payment session identifier, Stripe customer identifier, and paid funding status. Slingshotter does not store full payment card numbers.
We share information with service providers that help us operate Slingshotter:
We may also disclose information if required by law, to protect rights and safety, to prevent abuse or security incidents, or as part of a business transfer such as a merger or acquisition.
When you use links to third-party services, such as Discord, those services process your information under their own privacy policies.
Slingshotter has a leaderboard. When a campaign becomes leaderboard eligible, leaderboard entries may show your leaderboard tag, base name or flag, campaign year, contracts revenue, completed contracts, and budget spent.
Do not use personal information in your leaderboard tag or base name if you do not want that information displayed to other players.
We keep information for as long as needed to provide Slingshotter, maintain your account and campaign, process purchases, operate leaderboards, resolve errors, comply with legal obligations, and protect the service.
You can reset your active campaign in the game settings. To request access, correction, deletion, or other privacy help, contact support@slingshotter.space.
We use Firebase, Google Cloud, and Stripe security features to help protect the service and your information. No online service can guarantee perfect security, so please use a strong password and protect access to your account.
Slingshotter and its service providers may process information in the United States and other countries where they operate. These countries may have privacy laws that differ from the laws where you live.
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, export, restrict, or object to certain uses of your personal information.

We may need to verify your identity before completing certain requests.
Slingshotter is not intended for children who are too young to consent to the use of online services under the laws where they live. If you believe a child provided personal information to Slingshotter without appropriate consent, contact support@slingshotter.space.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the "Last updated" date above. If changes are material, we will provide additional notice when appropriate.
