Your privacy

Curiosity deserves care.

How PastPort handles information in the game, online services and this website.

Updated September 22, 2026

Who operates PastPort

PastPort is currently operated by Tasamo L Morrison in Utah, United States. Emberstrike Studios LLC has completed registration; the App Store publisher-account transition is pending. Contact support@playpastport.com for support, privacy requests or a concern about another player.

Guest play and device storage

Guest gameplay is saved on your device: XP, discoveries, stamps, achievements, answered and missed questions, practice schedules, daily and weekly progress, and unfinished rounds. Music and startup-sound preferences are also saved locally. Clearing app data or deleting the app can remove these saves. Guest play does not require an email address.

Optional adult accounts and cloud saves

Online accounts are intended for adults. Signing in uses your email address and a one-time email code, or an existing account password where available. Passwords are handled by our authentication provider and are not stored in gameplay records. Supabase provides authentication and database hosting, and Resend delivers sign-in emails. These providers process the email address and technical delivery or security information such as IP addresses and timestamps. Native authentication sessions use the device's secure storage.

For signed-in players, gameplay progress is saved under an account identifier and synchronized between devices. This includes the saved information listed above. Guest progress is copied into an account only when you choose to import it. We do not sell personal information or use it for advertising or cross-app tracking.

Friends, rankings and challenges

Online players choose an explorer name and avatar. Versions with custom names allow players to enter their own explorer name. Names can be visible to friends and in ranking screens, so do not include private information or a child’s real name. We store the account identifier, explorer profile, friend code, requests, accepted friendships and blocks. Friend and ranking screens display the selected explorer identity and relevant scores; they do not display your sign-in email. Ranked quizzes and friend challenges store answers, scores and timestamps to calculate results and prevent repeat scoring. Accepted friends can send in-app challenge invitations. There is no free-text chat, user photo upload or public contact search.

Junior explorers

Junior does not ask for a child's name, email, date of birth or location, and does not include friend requests, leaderboards, social sharing, ads or purchases. Junior gameplay is stored in a separate on-device passport and does not upload new Junior progress to an adult account. A grown-up navigation gate is required to return to the main app. That gate is not identity verification or a verified parental-consent service.

Earlier private tester versions could include Junior progress in an adult's cloud passport. Updating preserves those existing records; it does not automatically delete them. Contact support or use account deletion if you want cloud records removed. Parents should supervise use of the main app. If you believe a child has supplied personal information, contact us so we can investigate and remove it where appropriate.

Country pack purchases

The main game offers optional one-time country pack purchases through Apple. Each country has a free opening chapter; purchasing that pack unlocks its remaining two chapters. Junior has no purchase controls. Apple processes payment; PastPort does not receive your card details.

RevenueCat validates purchases and restores, keeps track of unlocked packs and purchase/refund history, and provides purchase reporting. It processes an anonymous app identifier, transaction and product identifiers, purchase dates, prices, currency and store information, along with technical information needed to provide the service. We do not send your PastPort sign-in email, explorer profile or cloud account identifier to RevenueCat. Purchase records are not used for advertising or tracking across apps.

Purchase ownership follows your store account, separately from your PastPort cloud passport. Restore Purchases can recover eligible purchases when using the same Apple Account. Deleting your PastPort account does not refund a purchase or erase Apple's transaction records. For purchase-data requests, contact support; payment and provider records may be retained for fraud prevention, accounting or legal obligations. See RevenueCat's privacy notice and Apple's privacy policy.

Version 1.1 and Android testing

We are preparing a chapter update and an Android edition; Google Play public availability has not started. In the updated version, each additional history, music or food chapter is a separate one-time purchase. Older country bundles keep the history access they originally included. Android test purchases use Google Play and RevenueCat rather than Apple. Google processes payment and store-account information; PastPort does not receive your payment-card details. RevenueCat processes the purchase and technical information described above to validate and restore access. Purchases remain tied to the store account and do not automatically transfer between Apple and Google Play. Account deletion does not erase Google’s transaction records or refund a purchase. See Google’s privacy policy. Testers should use the designated test payment methods.

Sharing and read-aloud

Outside Junior, you may choose to share a score card or text through your device's share menu. PastPort does not read your contacts or automatically post results. The receiving app has its own privacy practices. Read-aloud uses your device's speech service; its processing depends on the operating system and installed voice.

Support and service providers

Support messages, sender addresses and attachments are handled through Zoho Mail. We use them to respond to requests and address safety or technical concerns. Do not send passwords, sign-in codes or unnecessary personal information about children. Hosting and service providers may process information in countries outside your own, including the United States, under their applicable safeguards.

Retention and deletion

Account and gameplay records are retained while your account exists. In the app, open Passport, your explorer account, then Delete my account. Confirming deletion removes the authentication account and associated live cloud passport, friend/profile, ranking and challenge records, plus the account's saved copy on that device. The separate guest passport remains. Offline copies on other devices may remain until removed there; a deleted account cannot upload new changes.

Provider security logs, email records and backups may remain after live account deletion until their retention cycles expire or a legal obligation ends. Support correspondence is kept as needed to resolve and document the request. Contact support to request access, correction, deletion or details of applicable retention and provider handling. We may need to confirm account ownership before acting.

You can request account deletion without reinstalling or opening PastPort. Email support@playpastport.com from your account email address with the subject “Delete my PastPort account.” We may verify account ownership before acting. Do not send passwords or sign-in codes. Our account-deletion help explains the steps.

This website and external links

This website has no PastPort advertising trackers, analytics tags, mailing-list signup or payment collection. Its hosting and security services process technical request information to deliver and protect the pages. Source links and external services operate under their own privacy practices.
