2. Information the Game handles
| What | Why | Who handles it |
|---|---|---|
| Game progress (your kingdom, currencies, heroes, settings, purchase records) | To save your progress | Stored on your device; a copy in Google Play Games Saved Games if you are signed in; may be included in your Android device backup |
| Google Play Games display name and player ID | To sign you in automatically and keep your cloud save | |
| Advertising ID, IP address, approximate location derived from IP, device and app information, ad interactions, crash and diagnostic data | To show, measure and limit ads, prevent fraud and (only with your consent where required) personalise ads | Google AdMob |
| Purchase confirmations (product ID, order ID, purchase token) | To deliver what you bought and restore purchases | Google Play Billing; we receive the confirmation only |
| A random player ID created by the Game | Shown in Settings so support can find your case | Stored in your save |
We do not collect your name, email, contacts, photos, precise location, or payment card details. Local reminders (for example "your Treasury is full") are scheduled on your device and send no data to us.
3. Advertising
Ads in the Game are rewarded videos that you choose to watch in exchange for an in-game reward. They are never forced and never interrupt a battle. Ads are served by Google AdMob. Google may use cookies or similar technologies and your device's advertising ID.
- EEA, UK and Switzerland: you are asked for consent before personalised ads are shown. You can change your choice any time in Settings → Ad choices.
- Everywhere: you can reset or delete your advertising ID, or opt out of ad personalisation, in your device settings (Android: Settings → Privacy → Ads). Watching ads in the Game is always optional.
- Ad requests are marked as not directed at children.

4. Purchases
In-app purchases and subscriptions are processed by Google Play under Google's terms and privacy policy. We receive a confirmation of what you bought so the Game can deliver it. Refunds and subscriptions are managed in your Google Play account.
5. Google Play Games and backups
If you are signed in to Google Play Games, the Game stores a copy of your save in your Google Play Games account so you can keep playing on another device. Google Play Games is provided by Google under Google's Privacy Policy. Android may also include the Game's save in your device backup to your Google account.
6. How long data is kept, and deleting it
- On your device: until you uninstall the Game or use Settings → Reset all progress.
- Google Play Games save: until you delete it. You can delete the Game's data from your Google Play Games account (Play Games app → Settings → Delete Play Games account and data, or the game's entry there).
- Advertising data: kept by Google according to its own retention policies.
We don't run our own servers that store your personal data. If you need help deleting your data, contact us (section 10).
7. Children
The Game is intended for players aged 13 and over and is not directed at children under 13. We don't knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has provided information through the Game, contact us and we will help delete it.
8. Security and international transfers
Your save file is protected against tampering, and data sent to Google's services is encrypted in transit. Google may process data in countries other than yours, under its own safeguards.
9. Your rights
Depending on where you live (for example under the GDPR, UK GDPR, Canada's PIPEDA or US state laws) you may have the right to access, correct, delete or port your personal information, to object to or restrict processing, and to withdraw consent. Because we don't hold your personal data ourselves, most requests are handled through the controls above or directly with Google; we're happy to help with any request.
