Privacy Policy – Idle Ball Factory: Drop & Earn
Last Updated: July 1, 2026
The short version: Idle Ball Factory does not collect, store, or share any personal information. All game data is saved locally on your device only.
1. Introduction
Welcome to Idle Ball Factory: Drop & Earn ("the Game", "we", "our", or "us"). This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you use our mobile application available on Google Play.
By downloading or playing the Game, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Game.
2. Information We Collect
We do not collect any personal information. No account registration, no login, no email, no name — nothing.
The only data stored is your local game save data, which includes:
- Your in-game currency balance and lifetime earnings
- Upgrade levels and purchase history
- Prestige level and progression state
- Cosmetic item ownership and active selections
- The timestamp of your last session (used to calculate offline earnings)
This data is stored exclusively on your local device using standard local storage. It is never transmitted to us or any third-party server.
3. How We Use Your Information
Since we do not collect personal information, we have no personal data to use. The local game save data is used solely for:
- Restoring your progress when you reopen the Game
- Calculating offline earnings accumulated since your last session
- Displaying your upgrade levels and active cosmetic selections
4. Third-Party Services
The Game currently does not integrate any third-party analytics, advertising, or tracking SDKs. We do not use:
- Google Analytics or Firebase Analytics
- Facebook SDK or Audience Network
- AdMob, Unity Ads, or any advertising network
- Crash reporting services (e.g., Crashlytics, Sentry)
Note: If third-party SDKs are added in future updates (e.g., for analytics or ads), this Privacy Policy will be updated accordingly and you will be notified through an app update.
5. In-App Purchases
The Game includes a cosmetic shop for visual customizations (ball skins, board themes, trail effects, etc.). These cosmetics are purely visual and do not affect gameplay or progression.
Any purchase transactions are processed directly by Google Play and are subject to Google's Privacy Policy. We do not receive or store your payment information.
6. Children's Privacy
Idle Ball Factory is a casual game suitable for all ages. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13 (or the applicable age of digital consent in your region).
Since the Game collects no personal data whatsoever, it is compliant with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and similar regulations.
If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us at the address below and we will take prompt action.
7. Data Security
Because all game data is stored locally on your device and no data is transmitted over the internet, there is no server-side security risk. The security of your local device data depends on your device's own security settings and protections.
8. Data Retention & Deletion
Game save data is retained on your device until you uninstall the application or clear the app's data through your device settings. Uninstalling the Game will permanently delete all locally stored game progress.
We have no ability to delete data on your behalf since we never receive or hold it.
9. Your Rights
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to:
- Access information we hold about you (we hold none)
- Request deletion of your data (uninstall the app to delete all local data)
- Withdraw consent at any time (simply stop using the app)
If you reside in the European Economic Area (EEA), you have rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Since we do not process any personal data, these rights are automatically satisfied.
10. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected by updating the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
Continued use of the Game after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated Privacy Policy.
