Lantern is a virtual reality flight game for Meta Quest, made by David Harper. This policy explains what the game does with information about you. The short version: it collects nothing.
What the game collects
Nothing. The game has no accounts, no analytics, no advertising and no online play. It contains no code that sends anything over the internet, and it doesn't ask for permission to use the internet, your microphone, your camera or your location.
What the game uses while it runs
Like every VR game, it reads where your head is and where it's looking, and how you move your controllers' sticks, triggers, grips and buttons. If you play with hand tracking, it reads where your hands are. It uses these so it can draw the cockpit and the world around you and let you fly the jet, work its switches and walk on the ground. It uses them only from moment to moment while you play; it never records them, saves them or sends them anywhere.
What stays on your headset
The game saves two things, only on your headset, and never sends them anywhere:
- Your game: how far the story has come, what you've found and repaired, what's in your hangar, and the state of the land you've flown over.
- Your settings, such as whether missions fly by night.
The game also keeps its own flight model files on the headset; they hold nothing about you. The game turns off Android's app-data backup, and uninstalling the game removes everything it saved.
Meta
Meta runs the store, your account and the headset's system software, and handles any information it collects in doing so, such as purchases, crash reports and how you use your device, under its own privacy policy: meta.com/legal/privacy-policy. The game's developer doesn't receive that information about you.
Children
Because the game collects no personal information from anyone, it collects none from children. Meta sets the minimum age for using Meta Quest headsets and accounts.
Changes
If a future version of the game changes what it collects, this page will be updated before that version is released, with a new effective date at the top.
