Privacy Policy — Fruity Farm
This Privacy Policy explains how the mobile application Fruity Farm
(package com.outlierdogs.fruityfarm, the “App”), developed by
Outlierdogs (the “Developer”, “we”,
“us”), handles information when you use it. The App is a single-player
puzzle game. We keep data collection to the minimum needed to run the game, show
optional rewarded ads, and — only if you choose to sign in — back up your progress.
1. Information we handle
The App does not require you to create an account or provide any personal information to play. Signing in is entirely optional and only enables cloud backup of your progress.
| Data | When | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Device and usage data — device/other identifiers, app-interaction events (e.g. levels started and completed), and app performance/diagnostic data | Always, via Google Firebase Analytics | To understand how the game is played and to find and fix problems |
| Advertising ID, IP address, and coarse (approximate) location derived from it, and general device information | When a rewarded ad is served, via Google AdMob | To show and measure the optional rewarded ads that support the game |
| Your email address and Google account identifier | Only if you sign in with Google, via Firebase Authentication | To identify your cloud backup so you can restore it on another device |
| Your game progress — level, coins, and farm state | Only if you sign in, stored in Google Cloud Firestore | To back up your progress and sync it across your devices |
| Your consent choices (in the EEA/UK) | On first launch in applicable regions, via Google’s User Messaging Platform | To record your ad-personalisation consent under GDPR |
The App requests only the INTERNET, ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE,
VIBRATE, and POST_NOTIFICATIONS permissions. It does
not request access to precise location, your contacts, camera,
microphone, photos, or files.
2. How your information is used
- To run the game and remember your progress on your device.
- To show optional rewarded ads that you choose to watch, and to keep them free of forced or intrusive advertising.
- To back up and restore your progress across devices — only when you sign in.
- To analyse gameplay in aggregate and to diagnose crashes and errors.
We do not sell your personal information.
3. Service providers
We rely on Google services to provide the features above. Your data is processed by Google under its own privacy terms:
- Firebase (Analytics, Authentication, Cloud Firestore) and Google AdMob — Google Privacy Policy
- How Google uses data from apps that use its services — google.com/policies
- AdMob and advertising ID — AdMob help
4. Data retention and deletion
Progress saved on your device stays until you uninstall the App or reset your progress in-game. If you have signed in, your cloud backup is kept until you delete it.
- Delete your cloud data (keep your account): use “Delete cloud backup” on the account screen. This removes your saved progress from our servers and signs you out; the game on your device is not affected.
- Delete your account and all associated data: email us as described on our Data & Account Deletion page and we will remove your account record (email address and account identifier) within 30 days.
Full step-by-step instructions, and what is deleted versus kept, are on the Data & Account Deletion page.
5. Data security
Data transmitted between the App and Google’s services is encrypted in transit using industry-standard protocols. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, but we rely on Google’s infrastructure and its security practices to protect the data described here.
6. Children’s privacy
The App is intended for a general audience and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.
7. Your choices
- Ads personalisation: in the EEA/UK you are asked for consent on first launch and the game remains fully playable if you decline.
- Advertising ID: you can reset or delete it in your Android settings under Settings → Privacy → Ads.
- Cloud backup: optional — simply don’t sign in, or delete your backup at any time as described in Section 4.
8. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes are posted on this page with a new “Last updated” date. Continued use of the App after a change means you accept the revised policy.
