Crystal Forge Idle — Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 2026

The short version: the game itself does not collect, transmit, or share any personal data. Everything stays on your device. The only data leaving your device is the advertising identifier Google's AdMob SDK uses to serve the game's one optional ad, and payment details Google Play Billing handles directly for purchases — neither passes through the game's own code.

What the game stores

• Your game progress (crystals, workers, upgrades, achievements, settings) is saved only on your device, in local app storage.
• The optional "Export save" feature copies your save data to your clipboard so you can back it up wherever you choose. The game never sends it anywhere.

What the game does NOT do

• No account, sign-up, or login.
• No analytics or tracking SDKs.
• No network requests of its own — the game is fully playable offline. (The AdMob and Google Play Billing SDKs described below make their own network requests, independent of the game's code, only when you choose to watch an ad or make a purchase.)
• No access to contacts, location, camera, microphone, files, or any other device data beyond its own local save storage.

Ads

The game shows exactly one optional ad: a rewarded video in the Daily tab's "Forge Blessing" feature, which you may choose to watch to double an already-free daily bonus — it is never required and never shown automatically. Ads are served by Google's AdMob SDK, which collects your device's advertising identifier for ad delivery and measurement, per Google's own privacy policy. You can reset or limit ad tracking at any time in your device's Android settings (Settings → Google → Ads).

In-app purchases

The game offers four optional consumable "Prism" packs, real-money purchases that grant Prisms — a currency spent only on convenience/speed boosts, never a randomized reward — plus one optional one-time "Remove Ads" purchase that permanently disables the game's single optional ad prompt. Purchases are processed entirely by Google Play Billing; the game itself never collects, stores, or sees your payment information. See Google Play's privacy policy for how Google handles payment data.

Children

The game contains no chat, no user-generated content, and no external links. Ads are configured to serve in accordance with AdMob's policies for the game's declared content rating (see the Play Store listing) — the app does not knowingly target children as its primary audience, but if that changes in a future release, ad requests will be tagged accordingly per AdMob's child-directed treatment settings and this policy will be updated first.

Deleting your data

Your data lives only in the app's local storage. Uninstalling the app — or using the in-game "Wipe save & start over" button — permanently deletes it.
