Your game stays on your device
The game has no player accounts. Progress, settings, inventory and a local purchase-status hint are stored on your device. We do not run a server that receives your game save, name or email. The game does not send your save, stars or inventory to the advertising service.
Android may back up the save through its system backup service, depending on your device settings. This is controlled by Android and your Google account, not a game account. You can reset progress in Settings or clear the app's storage in Android. Resetting progress does not cancel a purchase; system backups may retain an earlier save.
Optional ads
The Android app uses Google AdMob for rewarded video ads. The Google Mobile Ads SDK may collect and share:
- Device identifiers, including advertising ID and app-set ID.
- IP address, which can be used to estimate approximate location.
- App and ad interactions, such as launches, taps and video views.
- Diagnostics and performance information.
Google uses this information for advertising, analytics and fraud prevention. Data handling depends on consent, device settings and the ad served. Watching an ad is optional. Supporters do not need to watch ads to claim the optional rewards.
See Google's Mobile Ads data disclosure and Google's Privacy Policy for Google's processing, retention and privacy controls.
Consent and privacy choices
The app uses Google's User Messaging Platform (UMP) to request consent where required, including the EEA, UK and Switzerland. UMP processes app, device and regional signals to determine which message applies, and stores consent choices on the device and with Google's consent service as applicable. The app checks consent before requesting an ad and requests ads only when UMP permits it.
To change your choice, open the game's Settings and select Privacy options when available. This option is shown whenever Google's consent service requires it, including for supporters. You can also manage your advertising ID in Android settings. Withdrawing consent does not undo earlier processing; available ads may change.
The supporter purchase
The one optional purchase, Remove ads + supporter pack, uses Google Play Billing. Google processes the payment and purchase records under its policies. The game receives purchase status and temporarily handles the purchase token to acknowledge the transaction. It stores a local status hint and checks ownership with Google Play, including when restoring purchases. We do not receive your payment-card details.
Children
Elemental Bastion is intended for players aged 13 and over. It is not directed at children under 13. Ads are configured as not child-directed and capped at Google's Teen ad-content rating. This does not verify a player's age. Any consent must meet the rules that apply where the player lives. If you believe a child has provided personal information, contact [email protected].
Retention, deletion and your rights
Local progress remains until it is reset, app storage is cleared or it is otherwise removed. Google controls retention of ad, consent and payment data it processes. Clearing local storage does not erase Google's records or cancel a purchase. Use Google's privacy controls or contact Google for that data.
Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, erase or restrict personal data, object to its use, receive a portable copy, withdraw consent, or complain to your data protection authority. Contact [email protected] about information held by Piotr Gagolski IT/IS (Go Studios). If you email us, we use your email address and message to respond and keep them only as needed for your request or applicable legal obligations.
