Pull Shift — Privacy

Effective 2026-11-01. Last verified against the game's code: 2026-11-08. This page adds detail to the Responsive Design LLC Privacy Policy.

In short: No account. We (Responsive Design LLC) collect no personal information from this game. Your progress and settings are saved only on your device. No ads, no analytics.

What is stored on your device

Game progress (run state, permanent perks), settings (volume, accessibility toggles, play-reminder choice) are saved in the browser's localStorage (web) or the app's private storage (Android). They never leave the device; clearing site data / uninstalling deletes them.

What leaves your device

  • Web version (itch.io): nothing is sent by the game itself. It only loads its own files from the site that hosts it (itch.io, under itch.io's own privacy policy). The built-in analytics module is switched off in published builds — it creates no identifier and makes no network requests.

Advertising

This game shows no ads on any platform.

Purchases

There are no in-app purchases. Everything is earned by playing. The free web demo shows a "Get the full game" link that opens itch.io in your browser; any payment there is handled by itch.io — the game never sees payment details.

This is not gambling

Pull Shift is a pretend casino. In plain words:

  • No real money. Nothing in the game costs real money, and nothing in it can be won, cashed out, traded, transferred or exchanged for real money, prizes or anything else of value. The in-game money, credits and Horseshoes are game points only.
  • Nothing to buy. The game never sells credits, spins, luck, extra chances or any in-game currency, and it never will. If you buy the full version on itch.io, that is a one-time purchase of the game itself, the same as any other game.
  • Honest odds, shown to you. Every machine has an ODDS button that displays its real payout table and hit rates, calculated from the same numbers the game uses. There are no "near-miss" tricks or hidden odds.
  • Not for children. The game is made for teens and adults and is not directed at children under 13. It is rated through the stores' age-rating questionnaires with the simulated-gambling descriptor answered honestly, which in some countries means a higher age rating or no listing at all.
  • Play reminder. After an hour of continuous play the game shows a gentle reminder, which you can turn off in Settings.
  • If gambling is a problem for you or someone close to you, please skip this game. In the United States the National Problem Gambling Helpline is 1-800-GAMBLER, call or text, 24 hours a day.

Children

This game is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. The game collects no personal information from anyone.
