Privacy Policy
Yonder is a long-range ballistics training simulator published by Yonder Software LLC ("we", "us"). It is fully playable offline, and what you create in it (load profiles, scores, settings and progress) is saved on your device. This policy explains the limited information that does leave your device.
What we store on your device
Everything you do in Yonder is saved in your device's local storage (the same place a website remembers your preferences). That includes:
- Rifle / cartridge load profiles and ballistic settings you enter.
- Scores, drill results, Academy progress, and unlocked content.
- App preferences (audio on/off, haptics on/off, scope and reticle choices).
This data is not tied to an account, and it is removed if you delete the app or clear its storage.
Analytics: no cross-app tracking
Yonder (the App Store app and the website) uses analytics from PostHog to understand how the app is used and to fix problems: for example, which screens and drills get used, the scopes, reticles and loads you shoot with, how your shots go, and which errors occur. We don't record what you type, and we make no session recordings.
Analytics use a random identifier, never your name, email, or Apple ID, and set no cookies. In the App Store app, it is the same anonymous ID our purchase provider uses, so your app activity and your purchases are associated with each other.
Our analytics provider estimates your approximate location (such as country, region and city) from your connection. We don't collect your precise location, and your IP address isn't stored with analytics.
Some links we share include a referral code. If you open Yonder through one, the code is included in analytics so we know which links bring people to Yonder, and our server keeps a hashed device record so each link works on a limited number of devices.
Yonder does not track you across other apps or websites, shows no ads, and does not sell your data.
Purchases
Payments are handled entirely by Apple; we never see your card or billing details. Our purchase provider, RevenueCat, keeps a record of what your app's anonymous ID has bought so your purchases unlock and restore, and it shares purchase and subscription events (such as purchases, renewals and cancellations) with our analytics.
Online features
A few features use our server. For these, your device has a random anonymous key and a display name (a generated one like "Shooter-1a2b" unless you change it).
- Daily leaderboard (Cold Bore): your daily shot result is sent with your key and display name to rank the day's board.
- Reticle requests: votes and requests you submit are stored with your key, along with your device's notification address if you ask to be told when a reticle is added.
- Networked matches: if you played them in an earlier version, your display name, rating and match results are kept for the leaderboard.
To prevent abuse, our server also keeps request counters based on a hashed form of your IP address. None of this is used for advertising, and none of it is sold.
Children
Yonder is a marksmanship/hunting training simulator intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Data we do not collect
We do not collect your name (beyond the display name above), email, phone number, precise location, contacts, photos, or advertising identifiers. We do not show ads. We do not sell data.
Changes
If this policy changes, we will update the date above. Material changes will be reflected in the app's release notes.
