Delete your OverLit data

OverLit is an iPhone and Android game published by Alek Jałtuszyk.

Almost everything OverLit knows about you never leaves your phone. The only data held on a server is what the online leaderboards need, and there is a button in the game that erases all of it.

Before that: you can stop new scores being posted

Settings → Legal → Post my scores to leaderboards. Off keeps your runs on this device while you keep playing, and you can still read the boards. For players who chose the 13-to-17 age range it starts off.

That stops anything new being published. To remove what is already there, use one of the two routes below.

In the game — one tap

Open Settings → Legal → Delete my leaderboard data, and confirm.

It acts on your own identity directly, so nothing has to be matched or described. It cannot be undone.

The row appears once leaderboards are available to you, from level 5. Before that no leaderboard identity was ever created and there is nothing on any server to delete.

By email

Open Settings → Legal → Copy my leaderboard ID, then email alekgameshelp2@gmail.com with the subject “Delete my leaderboard data” and paste the ID in.

Your leaderboard identity is anonymous — no name, no email address, no account — so the ID is the only thing that says which data is yours. Without it the request cannot be actioned.

Requests are answered within one month, as the GDPR requires.

What is deleted

Either route runs the same server function, and it erases everything held against your anonymous identity: every board entry on every board, your nickname, the private player record, the rating record, the submission ledger, and the anonymous account itself. Your entries come off the live boards, not merely out of an internal table.

What is kept

Your game progress, levels, stars, unlocks and settings. These are not on a server at all — they are on your phone. Deleting the app removes them. Erasing a score does not cost you your campaign, deliberately.

Purchase records, which belong to Apple or Google Play and are handled by their support channels.

Operational logs at Google, for the periods Google applies to its own logging.

Retention if you do nothing

Board entries have no automatic expiry — an entry stays until it is erased. Deleting the app does not remove a published leaderboard entry; use one of the two routes above.
