Snowmaker Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 10, 2026

Snowmaker is a game where you build and run a ski resort. It is the iPhone and iPad app with the App Store listing "Snowmaker - Build a Ski Resort". Snowmaker is made by Yipbit LLC, a Colorado limited liability company ("we"), the makers of Marginal. This policy explains what information the game collects and how it is used.

If you don't sign in

We collect nothing. Your resorts are saved in files on your device, one for each mountain, with the save before kept as a backup. They are not uploaded anywhere. Deleting the app deletes them.

If you sign in

An account is optional. You use one only to keep your resorts in the cloud and play them on another device. You can sign in three ways.

• Sign in with Apple. We receive an account ID and the email address Apple shares with us. It may be Apple's private relay address.
• An email code. You give us your email address and we send you a six-digit code. We store your email address and an account ID.
• A guest account. This makes an anonymous account with a random ID and no email address. A guest account cannot sign back in on another device.

Once you have an account, the game uploads your saved resorts to us, one for each mountain, and keeps them up to date while you play. That is the only game information we receive. Your Yipbit account is the same one Marginal uses, so if you already use Marginal you are already signed in, and signing out in one game signs you out of the other on that device.

To stop bots, creating a guest account or asking for an email code runs a check from Cloudflare (Turnstile). Cloudflare sees your device's network address and browser details for that check. If you ask for an email code, Cloudflare's email service delivers it, so it handles your email address and the code.

Purchases

Snowmaker is free to download and play on three mountains. The World Pass is a one-time purchase that opens the other mountains and some extra buildings. Apple handles the purchase from start to finish: we never see or store your name, card or payment details, and the game does not send us anything about your purchase.

Apple tells the game on your device whether your Apple Account owns the pass, including through Family Sharing, and the game remembers that answer on your device. There are no subscriptions and nothing in the game is bought more than once.

What we do not collect

Snowmaker shows no ads and does not track you across other apps or websites. It has no analytics and sends no usage events or crash reports to us. It does not ask for your location, contacts, photos, camera or microphone, and it sends no notifications. We do not collect your real name.

We do not sell personal information and we do not share it for advertising.

If you choose to share analytics with app developers in your device's settings, Apple may give us crash and usage totals that are not linked to you.

On your device

• Your game. Your resorts are saved on your device whether or not you sign in.
• Motion. When you tilt your device, the mountain view shifts a little. The game reads the motion sensor for this while it is open. The readings are used at once and are not stored or sent.

Where it is stored

Only signed-in players have data with us: an account ID, an email address unless the account is a guest account, and the saved resorts. We use it only to sign you in and to keep your resorts in step between your devices.

These companies handle it for us, and only for that purpose:

• Supabase hosts accounts and cloud saves. Access rules mean a player can only read and change their own data.
• Cloudflare runs the bot check and delivers the email code, and hosts this website. It sees your network address when you open a page.
• Apple provides Sign in with Apple and handles every purchase.

Our providers are based in the United States, so if you play from another country your account data may be sent to and kept in the United States. Data travels encrypted, and your sign-in is kept in your device's keychain. We keep account data until you delete your account.

This website sets no cookies, runs no analytics and loads no third-party fonts or scripts.

Deleting your data

You can delete your account at any time in the game: Settings, then Account and cloud save, then Delete account. This permanently deletes your Yipbit account and everything saved with it in the cloud, including your Snowmaker saves and any Marginal progress. Resorts saved on your device stay until you delete the app. You can also email us and we will delete your data.

Your choices and rights

You can play the whole game without an account. If you have one, you can see the email address on it in Settings, and delete the account and everything saved with it at any time. Your resorts are always on your own device too.

Depending on where you live, the law may give you the right to ask for a copy of your personal information, to have it corrected or deleted, or to object to how it is used. Email us and we will answer within 30 days. We will not treat you differently for asking.

Children

Snowmaker can be played without an account, and played that way it collects nothing from anyone. Accounts are not meant for children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you think a child under 13 has an account, email us and we will delete it.

A purchase by a child in a Family Sharing group goes through Apple's Ask to Buy, if the family organizer has turned it on.

Changes

If this policy changes, we will update the date above.
