In short
Ruinsweep has no accounts, and your game progress stays on your device. The game is supported by ads: ads are served by Google AdMob, which uses device data such as the advertising ID. Optional purchases are verified with RevenueCat using an anonymous ID. The game has no server of its own run by the developer.
What data goes where?
| Data | Goes to | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Game progress, daily results, statistics, collection, settings | Your device only | Running the game |
| Advertising ID | Google AdMob | Serving ads, ad measurement, fraud prevention |
| IP address (used to estimate approximate location) | Google AdMob | Serving ads, ad measurement, fraud prevention |
| Device and app information (model, operating system, language) | Google AdMob | Serving ads, ad measurement, fraud prevention |
| Ad interactions (impressions, taps) | Google AdMob | Serving ads, ad measurement, fraud prevention |
| Anonymous ID and purchase record (which product, when) | RevenueCat | Unlocking and restoring purchases, fraud prevention, aggregate sales statistics |
| Payment details | Google Play only (App Store on iOS) | Processing the payment; the developer never sees or stores them |
Data that stays on your device
Your game progress, daily results, statistics, collection and settings (sound, language, text size, etc.) are stored only on your device. They are not sent to us. Deleting the app deletes this data from the device.
If device backup is turned on, this data can be included in it: Android’s automatic backup saves it to your Google account, an iPhone backup to iCloud (or your computer), and it may be restored when you install the app on a new device with the same account. These backups are held by Google or Apple; the developer has no access to them. You can turn backup off in your device settings; deleting the app does not delete an existing backup.
Ads (Google AdMob)
The game has two kinds of ads: interstitial ads between games, and rewarded ads that you choose to watch (for a hint or a revive). To serve and measure ads and to prevent abuse, Google AdMob receives the following from your device: the advertising ID (Android advertising ID; on iOS the IDFA only if you allow it), IP address, device and app information (model, operating system, language) and ad interactions (impressions, taps).
- European Economic Area, United Kingdom and Switzerland. Personalised ads are used only if you agree in the consent form shown at launch. You can change your choice at any time in Settings › Ad privacy choices.
- Android. You can reset or delete your advertising ID in your Android settings.
- iOS. The advertising ID is used only if you allow tracking instead of choosing “Ask App Not to Track”. The game works the same either way; ads are then not personalised. You can change this under Privacy & Security › Tracking in the iOS Settings app.
- The ad content rating is capped at “general audiences” (G).

Purchases: Full Game and No Ads (RevenueCat)
- The Full Game and No Ads are one-time in-app purchases. No Ads removes interstitial ads; rewarded ads remain optional.
- Payment is processed by Google (Google Play) or Apple (App Store). We never see or store your payment details.
- The purchase is verified through the purchase validation service RevenueCat. For this, the app sends RevenueCat a randomly generated anonymous ID and the purchase record issued by the store (which product, when it was bought). This record is not linked to your name, email address or advertising ID.
- This information is used only to unlock and restore purchases, prevent fraud and produce aggregate sales statistics; it is not used for advertising.
- When the app starts, only the anonymous ID is sent to RevenueCat to check whether you own a purchase.

Sharing and notifications
When you share a daily result or an expedition result, the text goes through your device’s share menu to the app you choose. It is not sent to us. The optional streak reminder is a local notification scheduled on your device, at most one a day; no data is sent for it. The app asks for notification permission only if you turn the reminder on, and you can switch it off in Settings › Streak reminder or in the Android or iOS settings.
Transfers and security
Ad and purchase data is encrypted in transit (TLS). Google and RevenueCat process data on their own servers under their own policies; these servers may be outside Europe, for example in the USA. Such transfers rely on the providers’ safeguards (for example, EU Standard Contractual Clauses). The game has no server of its own run by the developer.
Legal basis and retention
- Personalised ads. In the EU, UK and Switzerland, based on your consent. On iOS the advertising ID (IDFA) is used only if you allow tracking. You can withdraw your consent at any time in Settings › Ad privacy choices, and tracking permission in the iOS Settings app.
- Serving and measuring ads and preventing abuse. Based on our legitimate interest in offering the game for free with ads.
- Purchase verification (Full Game, No Ads). Necessary to provide the product you bought (performance of a contract).
- If you email us. We use your address and message only to answer your request.
- Retention. Data on your device stays there until you delete the app; a device backup follows Google’s or Apple’s settings. The anonymous purchase record is kept as long as needed to provide your purchase, or until you ask us to delete it. Emails are kept as long as needed to resolve your request.

Children
Ruinsweep is not directed at children and does not target children under 13. Ads are not tagged as child-directed; the ad content rating is capped at general audiences (G).
Your rights and deletion requests
- Account. Ruinsweep does not create accounts, so there is no account or account data to delete.
- Data on your device. Uninstalling the app deletes all game data on the device. On Android, clearing the app’s data in Android settings does the same.
- Ad data. Change your consent choice in Settings › Ad privacy choices. On Android you can reset your advertising ID in the device settings; on iOS you can withdraw tracking permission under Privacy & Security › Tracking in the iOS Settings app. For data held by Google, use the options described in Google’s policy above.
- Purchase record. To have your anonymous purchase record deleted, write to kefukar@gmail.com and include your store order number (from your Google Play or App Store receipt) so we can find the record. After deletion you can still recover your purchase through the store with “Restore purchases”.
- Your legal rights (GDPR, KVKK). You have the right to access your data, have it corrected or deleted, restrict or object to its processing, receive it in a portable format, and withdraw your consent at any time. Withdrawing consent does not affect processing that took place before. Write to kefukar@gmail.com; we reply within 30 days. Google is an independent controller for ad data; you can also send requests about that data to Google.
- Complaints. If you are not satisfied with our reply, you can complain to the data protection authority in your country (in Türkiye, the Personal Data Protection Board, KVKK).

If this policy changes, the updated text will be published on this page with a new effective date.
