Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 14, 2026. This policy covers BlackSails.com software — Steam apps, Android apps, desktop utilities, and Chrome extensions.

No ads No tracking SDKs No data harvesting No sale of data

Short version: Our products do not spy on you. We do not collect personal data from our apps or extensions, we do not show ads, and we do not ship analytics / advertising / “spyware” SDKs. Settings and files you create stay on your device unless you deliberately use a platform feature that syncs them (for example Steam Cloud or an optional sync feature you turn on).

Who we are

BlackSails.com is an independent software studio based in Canada. Contact: support@blacksails.com.

Products covered

This policy applies to all current BlackSails.com software products, including:

What we do not collect

Our software does not collect, transmit, sell, or share personal data with BlackSails.com. That means no advertising IDs, no usage telemetry to us, no hidden analytics dashboards, and no third-party tracking networks inside the apps or extensions.

What stays on your device

Preferences, layouts, controller mappings, save data, local media you open, and folder paths you choose are stored locally on your device (or in browser storage for extensions). We do not upload that information to BlackSails servers for profiling or ads.

Network features you choose

Some products can use the network when you ask them to — for example opening a project page, checking a store listing, optional LAN multiplayer, or a sync feature you enable. Platform services you already use (Google Play, Steam, the Chrome Web Store) may process purchase or account information under their privacy policies. BlackSails does not receive a separate copy of your payment card details.

Children

Our software is generally intended for adults. RetroPro Game Emulator is intended for users 18 and over and is not directed at children.

This website

blacksails.com is a product portal. Website analytics are separate from our apps and extensions, which do not include tracking or analytics SDKs.

This site uses Google Analytics (Google LLC) to measure traffic — pages visited, referrers, general device/browser information, and similar standard web metrics. Google’s privacy policy applies to how they process that data: policies.google.com/privacy.

We may also run a custom BlackSails web analytics tag on this site — the same kind of lightweight snippet Google Analytics uses — for our own traffic analysis (including bots and crawlers, which matter more than ever in the age of AI). If enabled, it collects comparable visit data and sends it to BlackSails infrastructure, not ad networks.

We use these tools only to understand how blacksails.com is used. We do not sell visitor data, and we do not use website analytics to track you inside our apps or extensions.

Changes

If we change this policy, we will update this page and the “Last updated” date.
