Privacy Policy

BrainRot (brain_rot) — developed by Sycamore Hill Studios

Introduction

This Privacy Policy describes how BrainRot ("the App", "we", "us", or "our") handles information when you use our Android application. BrainRot is a satirical doom scroll simulator game. We are committed to transparency about our data practices and to protecting your privacy.

Information Collection

BrainRot does not collect, store, or transmit any personal information. The App does not require account creation, login credentials, or any form of personal registration. We do not use analytics services or tracking tools of our own.

All gameplay data—including your stats, achievements, and settings—is stored locally on your device using Android SharedPreferences and is never sent to any external server.

Third-Party Services

The App integrates the following third-party services, each of which may collect information independently in accordance with their own privacy policies:

Google AdMob

We use Google AdMob to display advertisements, including interstitial and rewarded ads. AdMob, operated by Google, may collect and process certain information such as:

This data collection is governed by Google's privacy policies. You can review Google's Privacy Policy at https://policies.google.com/privacy and learn more about how Google uses information from apps that use their services at https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.

You may opt out of personalized advertising by adjusting your device's ad settings or by visiting https://adssettings.google.com.

Google Play Billing

The App offers a non-consumable premium tier purchase through Google Play In-App Purchases. All payment processing is handled entirely by Google Play. We do not receive, store, or have access to your payment details (such as credit card numbers or billing addresses). Purchase transactions are subject to Google's Privacy Policy and the Google Play Terms of Service.

Data Storage

All App data (gameplay statistics, achievements, and user settings) is stored locally on your device using Android SharedPreferences. This data never leaves your device and is not transmitted to us or any third party. Uninstalling the App will remove all locally stored data.

Children's Privacy

BrainRot is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. Since the App does not collect personal information from any user, no special provisions for children's data are required. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has somehow provided personal information through a third-party service integrated with the App, please contact the respective third-party service provider directly.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected on this page with a revised "Last Updated" date. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically. Continued use of the App after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
