Ember GardenPrivacy Policy
In short: Ember Garden doesn't collect, store or share any personal information. Your progress is saved only on your device.
Who we are
Ember Garden is made by Rohan Saxena, an independent developer ("I", "me"). This policy explains how the app handles information.
Information the app collects
None. Ember Garden does not ask for, collect or send personal information, including your name, email address, location, contacts, photos, device identifiers or advertising ID. The app has no accounts and needs no sign-in.
The app doesn't request internet access, and it contains no advertising, analytics, crash reporting or other third-party SDKs that collect data.
Information stored on your device
To let you continue where you left off, the app saves the following on your device:
- Your gardens and game progress (waves, coins, shrines and upgrades)
- Your Classic run history and best wave
- Your settings (sound, vibration, game speed, view options) and whether you've finished the tutorial
This data stays on your phone and is never sent to me. Uninstalling the app or clearing its data in Android settings deletes it.
Android backup
If you've turned on Android's backup feature, Android may include the app's saved progress in your device backup to your Google account, so it can be restored on a new phone. That backup is run by Google under Google's Privacy Policy. I can't see or access it. You can turn backup off in your phone's settings.
Garden codes and the clipboard
The app lets you export a garden as a text code. When you choose to copy a code, it's placed on your device's clipboard, and when you choose to import one, the app reads the clipboard to get it. This only happens when you tap those options. Codes contain game data only, and the app never sends them anywhere. If you share a code, you choose where it goes.
Children
Ember Garden is not directed at children under 13. Because the app collects no personal information from anyone, it collects none from children either.
Your choices
Since I don't hold any data about you, there's nothing for me to access, correct or delete. To remove everything the app has stored, uninstall it or clear its storage in Android settings.
Changes to this policy
If the app changes in a way that affects your privacy, for example by adding ads, in-app purchases or online features, I'll update this page and change the effective date above before that version is released.
