TALOS FLIGHT, PRIVACY NOTICE
Transcendiant Labs. Last updated 27 September 2026.

Short version: there is no account, no analytics, no advertising, no cookies and no game server.
Nothing you do in this game is sent to Transcendiant Labs, because there is nowhere to send it.


1. WHAT THE STUDIO COLLECTS

Nothing. Transcendiant Labs operates no game server, no database, no login, no telemetry, no
analytics and no advertising. The game is a single page that runs entirely in your browser.


2. WHAT IS STORED, AND WHERE

The game stores your settings and progress in your own browser, using localStorage. It never
leaves your device. The keys it uses are:

    fa18_run_v1              campaign progress: day, bank, hull, installed equipment
    fa18_graphics            graphics quality settings
    fa18_mobile_quality      mobile quality choice
    fa18_bw                  monochrome display preference
    fa18_touch_lefty         left-handed touch control layout
    fa18_music               music on or off
    fa18_klaxon              cockpit klaxon on or off
    ace_music_volume         music volume
    ace_sfx_volume           effects volume
    ace_audio_muted          mute state
    ace_training_v2          tutorial completion gate
    ace_flight_tutorial_v1   flight tutorial completion
    ace_flight_model         flight model you chose, Arcade or Realistic
    ace_mobile_tutorial_v1   mobile control reference seen
    ace_head_tracking_v1     head tracking preference and sensitivity
    ace_canopy_postits_v1    notes you write on the cockpit canopy
    ace_health_notice_v1     health notice acknowledged
    ace-build-dismissed      which "newer build" notice you dismissed
    talos_grade_v1           colour grade settings
    talos_grade_presets_v1   colour grade presets you saved and named
    fa18_studio_help_v2      Film Studio help panel dismissed

You can erase all of it at any time by clearing site data for this site in your browser, or with
"Reset all game progress" in the pause menu under Exit options.

The public demo and the capture mission hold this state in memory only, for the session. They
write nothing to your disk.


3. THE WEBCAM

The game has an optional head tracking feature. It is off by default and never turns itself on.

If you switch it on, your browser asks your permission for camera access. If you grant it:

    the video is processed entirely on your own device, by a face landmark model bundled with the
    game, and no frame, image, landmark or derived measurement is ever transmitted anywhere;
    nothing is recorded, saved or written to disk;
    the only use made of it is to move your in-game view;
    switching the feature off releases the camera immediately.

Microphone and location access are blocked outright by the site's own Permissions-Policy header.


4. NETWORK REQUESTS

Playing the game downloads the game: the page, the engine, textures, audio and fonts, all from the
game's own origin. Fonts are embedded in the page rather than fetched from a font service.

There is one exception, and it does not apply to the website. If the source file is opened
directly from disk as a local file, the browser cannot import a sibling module, so the three.js
engine is fetched from the jsDelivr CDN instead. That fallback is never used on
https://ace-protectorate.pages.dev/ or https://talos-flight.pages.dev/, which always serve their
own local copy.


5. HOSTING

The game is hosted on Cloudflare Pages. Like any web host, Cloudflare processes ordinary request
information, such as your IP address and browser user agent, in order to serve the page and
protect the service. That processing is Cloudflare's, under Cloudflare's own terms. Transcendiant
Labs does not receive, store or analyse it.


6. OFFLINE CACHE

The game installs a service worker that caches its own files in your browser so it starts quickly
and keeps working offline. The cache holds game files only. It contains no personal information,
and clearing site data removes it.


7. RECORDINGS AND EXPORTS

The Film Studio can record and export video of your own flights. Those files are produced on your
device and saved by you, to your device. They are never uploaded.


8. CHILDREN

The game collects no personal information from anyone, of any age.


9. CHANGES

This notice may be updated, and the version served alongside a build governs that build.
