Privacy Policy

App: Megachurch Tycoon: Idle Pastor
Package: com.sycamorehillstudios.megachurch
Publisher: Sycamore Hill Studios
Effective date: April 20, 2026

This Privacy Policy describes how Megachurch Tycoon (“the App,” “we,” “our”) handles information when you use our Android mobile application. We built this game with a privacy-first posture: your progression, settings, and every piece of gameplay state live on your own device.

1. Information We Do Not Collect

We do not ask for, access, or transmit any of the following:

The App does not require you to create an account or sign in.

2. Information Stored Locally on Your Device

The App stores the following on your device only, using Android’s DataStore mechanism. This data never leaves the device unless you explicitly back it up via Android’s system features:

Uninstalling the App deletes this local data.

3. Anonymous Gameplay Analytics

The App records anonymous, aggregate gameplay analytics events (for example: “session started,” “revival performed,” “venue unlocked”) to help us balance difficulty and fix bugs. These events:

4. Google Play Services

Because the App is distributed through the Google Play Store, Google Play Services may collect limited diagnostic information (install stats, crash reports) independently of the App. This collection is governed by Google’s Privacy Policy. We do not control and do not receive your personally identifiable information from Google.

5. In-App Purchases

The App offers optional in-app purchases (one-time cosmetic packs and a monthly Prosperity Pass subscription). Payment processing is handled entirely by Google Play Billing. We never see your card number, billing address, or any payment credential — Google returns only a confirmation token to the App indicating that the purchase was authorized.

6. Advertising

The App may include rewarded video advertisements that you may choose to watch voluntarily in exchange for in-game rewards. If an ad network SDK is integrated in a future update, that SDK may collect a non-resettable or resettable advertising identifier from your device solely to serve non-personalized or contextually-relevant ads. You can reset or opt out of ad personalization in Android’s system Settings → Privacy → Ads. We will update this policy before enabling any third-party ad network.

7. Children’s Privacy

The App is rated Teen and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect any information from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with data, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.

8. Your Rights (GDPR / CCPA / Similar Laws)

Because the App does not collect personally identifiable information, most data-subject rights (access, rectification, erasure, portability, restriction of processing, objection) apply to data you have voluntarily stored locally on your device — which you can exercise directly by:

If you have a data-subject request regarding anonymous gameplay analytics, email us at the address below and we will make reasonable efforts to fulfill it.

9. Data Security

All network requests the App makes are sent over HTTPS/TLS. Local save data is stored in Android’s private application sandbox and is not readable by other apps on your device.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to the App or applicable law. When we do, we will update the “Effective date” at the top of this page. For material changes, we will display an in-App notice before you continue playing.
