Privacy Policy
At Angry Crops ("we," "our," or "us"), we believe that your privacy is a fundamental right. We are dedicated to delivering a delightful, casual garden deduction puzzle game without tracking your behavior, invading your privacy, or collecting unnecessary personal information.
This Privacy Policy explains how Angry Crops handles information when you play our mobile application (available on Google Play and Apple App Store) or visit our website at https://www.angrycrops.com.
1. Summary of Our Core Privacy Principles
- No User Accounts: You do not need an account, email address, password, or profile to play the game.
- 100% Offline Game: The core game runs completely locally on your device without requiring an active internet connection.
- Zero Personal Data Collection: The mobile app does not collect, transmit, sell, or rent your personal data to any third party.
- Zero In-App Ads: There are no commercial third-party advertising SDKs (such as Google AdMob or Unity Ads) inside the game.
- Safe for Everyone: Angry Crops is family-friendly and fully compliant with children's privacy regulations (COPPA).
2. Information Handled by the Mobile Game
A. Local Device Storage Only
The game saves your progress, statistics, and settings exclusively in your device's private application sandbox (via local device storage / SharedPreferences):
- Gameplay Statistics: Games played, games won, win rate percentage, and fastest harvest completion times across Sprout (8×8), Harvest (12×12), Orchard (16×16), and Custom Farm modes.
- Player Preferences: Toggles for Sound Effects, Garden Background Music, Haptic Touch Vibration, and Confetti Visual Effects.
- Active Board State: Temporary state of an in-progress game so you can resume where you left off if interrupted.
This data remains strictly on your device. It is never transmitted to our servers or any third-party analytics provider.
B. Score Export and Backup Freedom
In the game's Settings menu, we provide an "Export Records" and "Import Records" feature. This generates a clean, transparent JSON text representation of your local stats so you can copy and preserve your personal records or transfer them to another device. You maintain full custody and control over your records.
3. Information Handled by Our Website
When you visit our promotional website (https://www.angrycrops.com):
- Web Server Logs: Like standard web hosts, our web servers may log basic technical parameters (such as IP address, browser type, and timestamp) solely for network security, DDoS prevention, and server health.
- Website Analytics: The website utilizes Google Analytics 4 (GA4) with IP anonymization enabled to understand aggregate, non-personal page view trends (such as how many visitors view the How to Play guide). You may opt out of GA4 using any standard browser privacy extension or Do Not Track header.
- No Advertising Pixels: We do not deploy Facebook Pixels, retargeting cookies, or third-party behavioral trackers.
4. Third-Party App Distribution Platforms
Angry Crops is distributed through the Google Play Store (and upcoming Apple App Store). When you download, update, or rate the game, your interaction is governed by the respective store's privacy policy:
The stores provide developers with aggregated, anonymized crash reports and install counts. None of these reports reveal your personal identity.
5. Children’s Privacy (COPPA Compliance)
Angry Crops is a calm, non-violent, intellectual logic puzzle suitable for players of all ages, including children under 13. We strictly comply with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and international child privacy standards:
- We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
- The mobile app contains no social chat features, no profile creation, and no external tracking.
6. Data Retention and Deletion
Because all game data resides strictly on your local device:
- You can reset your stats at any time within the game via Settings → Reset All Records.
- Uninstalling the Angry Crops application from your phone or tablet immediately and permanently deletes all locally stored data.
7. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may periodically update this policy to reflect new game features or regulatory requirements. Any modifications will be posted directly to this URL (https://www.angrycrops.com/privacy) along with an updated effective date.
