Privacy Policy for My Idle Harvest
Last updated:
This Privacy Policy explains how AbnaSoftware ("we", "us", or "the developer") handles information in connection with our mobile game, My Idle Harvest (the "Game"). By downloading or using the Game, you agree to the practices described here.
Summary
- We do not ask you to create an account with us, and we do not collect your name, email, or other directly identifying information ourselves.
- Your game progress and settings are stored locally on your device.
- We use trusted third-party services — Google AdMob (to show ads) and Google Analytics for Firebase (to understand how the Game is used) — which may collect data as described below.
Information collected
1. Data stored on your device
Game data such as your gold, progress, hired workers, unlocked crops and animals, processing facilities, and settings (for example, language and animation preferences) is stored locally on your device using Flutter's local storage capabilities. This data stays on your device and is not transmitted to us. Removing the Game from your device deletes this data.
2. Advertising — Google AdMob
The Game displays advertisements served through Google AdMob. To deliver and measure ads, Google and its partners may automatically collect and process information such as:
- Advertising identifiers (for example, the Google Advertising ID / IDFA);
- Device information (device model, operating system, language, network type);
- Approximate (coarse) location derived from your IP address;
- Interaction data, such as ads viewed or tapped.
This information is used to show ads (personalized or non-personalized), limit how often you see the same ad, and detect invalid activity. Learn more in Google's Privacy Policy and "How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services".
3. Analytics — Google Analytics for Firebase
The Game uses Google Analytics for Firebase to understand how players use the Game (for example, how many players open it each day and how they interact with features and ads), so we can fix problems and improve the experience. This service may automatically collect and process information such as:
- App usage and interaction events (for example, app opens, sessions, and when a rewarded ad is watched);
- Device and app information (device model, operating system version, app version, language);
- A Firebase installation identifier;
- Approximate (coarse) location derived from your IP address;
- Diagnostic and crash information.
This information is aggregated and used for analytics and product improvement; we do not use it to identify you personally. On iOS, the Game uses a version of Google Analytics that does not collect the advertising identifier (IDFA) for analytics. Learn more in Firebase's privacy and security information and Google's Privacy Policy.
How information is used
- To operate the Game and save your progress on your device;
- To display and measure advertisements;
- To analyze usage and improve the Game;
- To keep the Game secure and detect abuse or fraud.
Third-party services
The Game relies on the following third parties, each governed by its own privacy policy:
Your choices & advertising controls
- Ad personalization: You can opt out of personalized ads in your device settings — on Android via Settings → Google → Ads, on iOS via Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking.
- Reset your advertising ID at any time from the same device settings.
- EU / UK / Switzerland: Where required, you will be asked for consent before personalized ads are shown, and you can change your choice later from within the app's settings.
Children's privacy
The Game is intended for a general audience and is not directed at children under the age of 13 (or the minimum age required in your country). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information, please contact us at the address below and we will take appropriate steps to remove it.
Data retention & security
Data stored on your device remains until you delete the Game or clear its data. Information processed by Google is retained according to Google's own policies. We rely on the security measures of the platforms and services we use to protect information.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete personal data, or to object to certain processing. For data held on your device, you can exercise these rights directly by clearing the Game's data or uninstalling it. For data processed by Google, please use the controls described above or contact Google. You may also contact us with any request.
International users
The third-party services we use may process and store information on servers located in other countries. By using the Game, you understand that your information may be transferred to and processed in countries other than your own.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date above. Significant changes will be reflected on this page.
