Sycamore Hill Studios (“we”) makes Idle Black Hole 2: Devour (“the game”). This page explains what data the game handles and why.
We don’t run an account system or a server for the game. Your progress is saved on your device. If you’re signed in to Google Play Games, a copy is also kept in your Play Games saved games (see below); otherwise, uninstalling the game or clearing its data deletes your progress.
The game uses Google Play Games Services. If you have a Play Games profile, the game signs you in automatically when it starts; you can play without it, and you can turn automatic sign-in off in the Play Games settings. While you’re signed in, Google receives and stores your Play Games player ID, gamer name and avatar, the achievements you unlock, and a saved copy of your game progress so you can continue on another device. Google also collects analytics and diagnostic data about the Play Games service. This data is handled under Google’s Privacy Policy. The game shows your gamer name in Settings; we never receive your email address. You can delete this data from your Play Games profile or your Google Account.
The game only shows an ad when you tap a button that offers a reward for watching one. Ads are served by Google AdMob, which collects and shares data to show ads, measure them and prevent fraud: your device’s advertising ID, approximate location (from your IP address), how you interact with ads and the app, and diagnostic data.
In the European Economic Area, the UK and Switzerland, the game asks for your consent through Google’s consent form before any ad is requested. You can change your choice at any time in Settings > Privacy options. See how Google uses data from apps that use its services.
Purchases and subscriptions are handled by Google Play. The game receives a record that a purchase was made so it can deliver it; we never see your payment details. Google’s privacy policy applies to the payment.
If you allow them, the game schedules reminders on your device (for example when your disk is full or a new event starts). They are created on the device; no data is sent to us. You can turn them off in the game’s Settings or in your phone’s settings.
Apart from your Play Games gamer name described above, we don’t collect your name, and we don’t collect your email address, contacts, photos or precise location. We don’t use any analytics service of our own, and we don’t sell personal data.
The game is not directed at children under 13.
If this policy changes, we will update this page and the date above.
