This policy explains what information the mobile game Aurora Timber: Idle Tycoon ("the game", "we") collects, how it is used and the choices you have. The game is intended for players aged 13 and over and is not directed at children. Contact: arshadh6611@gmail.com.
1. Information we collect
| Data | Purpose | Source / service |
|---|---|---|
| Game progress (levels, currencies, settings) | Saving your game on the device and, if enabled, in the cloud | On-device storage; Google Firebase Firestore |
| Anonymous account ID; Google account ID and email if you choose “Save progress with Google” | Cloud save and restoring progress on a new device | Firebase Authentication, Google Sign-In |
| App interactions (e.g. tutorial steps, upgrades, sessions), device model, OS version, app version, approximate country | Analytics to improve game balance and fix problems | Google Analytics for Firebase |
| Crash logs and diagnostics | Finding and fixing crashes | Firebase Crashlytics |
| Advertising ID, IP address, device information, ad interactions | Showing ads, measuring them, preventing fraud; personalized ads only with consent where required | Google AdMob and mediation partners: Unity Ads, AppLovin, Meta Audience Network |
| Purchase records (product, order/purchase token, time) | Delivering and verifying in-app purchases and subscriptions | Google Play Billing; our Cloud Function |
| Play Games profile (if you sign in to Play Games) | Leaderboards | Google Play Games Services |
| Remote configuration requests | Tuning events, offers and ad limits without an app update | Firebase Remote Config |
We do not collect your name, phone number, contacts, photos, precise location or payment card details. Payments are processed entirely by Google Play.
2. Advertising and consent
The game shows optional rewarded videos and, at natural breaks, interstitial ads. Ads are served by Google AdMob, which may use mediation partners (Unity Ads, AppLovin, Meta Audience Network). Where required by law (for example in the EEA, UK and Switzerland, and in U.S. states with privacy laws), we ask for your consent through Google’s User Messaging Platform before any ad is requested. You can change your choices at any time in Settings › Privacy options. You can also reset or delete your Advertising ID in your device settings.
3. How we use information
- Provide the game, save progress and deliver purchases.
- Understand how the game is played to improve balance and fix bugs.
- Show, cap and measure ads, and prevent fraud.
- Send optional local reminders (at most two a day), which you can turn off in Settings.
We do not sell your personal information.
4. Retention
Local progress stays on your device until you delete the app or use “Delete my data”. Cloud saves are kept while your account exists and deleted on request. Analytics data is retained by Google Analytics for 14 months; crash reports for up to 90 days. Purchase verification records are kept as long as needed for fraud prevention and legal obligations.
5. Deleting your data
In the game, open Settings › Delete my data: this deletes your local save, your cloud save and your (anonymous or Google-linked) account. You can also request deletion by email — see Delete account.
6. Security
Data is transmitted over encrypted connections (HTTPS/TLS). Cloud saves are protected so that only your account can read or write them.
7. Your rights
Depending on where you live (e.g. GDPR, UK GDPR, CCPA/CPRA, PIPEDA), you may have rights to access, correct, delete or port your data and to object to or restrict processing. To exercise them, email arshadh6611@gmail.com. We will respond within 30 days.
8. Children
The game is rated for ages 13+ and is not designed for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us data, contact us and we will delete it.
9. Changes
We may update this policy. The “Last updated” date shows the latest version; significant changes will be announced in the game.
