Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how the mobile game SWARM ("the Game", "we", "us") handles information. By playing SWARM you agree to this policy.
Summary
SWARM does not require an account and does not ask you for any personal information. Your game progress is stored only on your device. The Game shows ads and offers in-app purchases, which are provided by Google; those services collect limited device information as described below.
Information we collect
We (the developer) do not collect or store any personal information about you. Your progress — levels cleared, stars, glow dust, cosmetics, and settings — is saved locally on your device and is never transmitted to us.
Information collected by third parties
To keep the Game free, SWARM uses the following Google services, which may collect information according to their own privacy policies:
- Google AdMob (advertising). AdMob may collect your device's advertising ID and technical device information to serve and measure ads. You can reset or limit this ID in your device settings (Settings → Google → Ads), and opt out of ad personalization there. Google's policy: policies.google.com/privacy
- Google Play Billing (in-app purchases). If you make a purchase, Google processes the transaction. We never receive or store your payment details.
- Google Play Services, which the app relies on for the above.
We do not use any analytics SDK; the Game keeps no server-side data about you.
Children
SWARM is not directed at children under 13. If you believe a child has provided information through the ad services, contact us and we will assist. If you are in a region with specific children's-privacy rules, please use your device's ad settings to limit ad personalization.
Data security & retention
Information handled by the ad and billing services is transmitted over encrypted (HTTPS) connections by those providers. Your on-device game data remains on your device and can be removed at any time by using Reset Progress in the Game's settings, or by uninstalling the app.
Your choices
- Reset or limit your advertising ID in your device settings.
- Remove all local game data via Settings → Reset Progress, or by uninstalling.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy; the "Last updated" date will change accordingly. Continued use of the Game after an update constitutes acceptance.
