Your progress stays on the headset
Paper Wings XR is a game with no account and no sign-in. It sends nothing unless you agree to send gameplay statistics. This page says what it keeps and what it sends if you do.
What the game keeps
Your progress — the best run on each level, and which levels that has opened — and your settings are kept in the browser's local storage on the device you play on. They never leave that device, and clearing the site's data in the browser removes them.
What the game sends
Nothing, unless you agree to send gameplay statistics. They are how the levels get tuned: how many tries a level takes, how a sortie ends, how long it lasts. If you agree, the game sends, to its own server at the address it is played from:
- A random id made on your device for the statistics alone. It is not your Meta account and is not linked to it.
- The game's version, the headset model and the language your browser is set to.
- When the game starts.
- For each sortie: the level, which try it was, how it ended, the stars, and how many sheets, planes, bombs and seconds it took.
- Which setting you changed and what you set it to.
- When the game hits an error: the kind of error and where in the game's code it happened. Not the error's message.
It sends no name, no account, no position, no picture or sound of your room, and nothing about the rest of your device. The address your connection comes from is used to limit how many requests one place can make, and is not stored. The statistics are stored by Cloudflare, which runs the server, and kept for three months. Until they are sent they wait on the device, and the game plays the same with or without a network.
Each time it starts, the game asks its server whether it takes statistics, so that it knows whether to ask you. That request carries no id and nothing the game keeps, only what any request to a site carries.
Your answer
The game asks once, on a card in front of you as you start playing, and keeps your answer on the device. You can change it at any time with the Statistics switch on the settings card, which the cog on the plaque at the table's edge opens, as does pressing in a thumbstick. Turning it off deletes the random id and any statistics still waiting on the device. Statistics already sent carry only that id, so they can no longer be linked to you or your device, and they expire after three months.
What this site keeps
This page sets no cookies and runs no analytics. It links to the game and to nothing else that would know you were here. The typefaces are fetched from Google Fonts, which sees the request for the font files and nothing about you beyond it.
The store
When the game is installed from the Meta Horizon Store, Meta's own terms and privacy policy govern the store, your account and any purchase. The game itself does not read your account.
