Garden Quest — Cozy Farm ("the game") is built to be played, not to collect data. This policy describes what the game does and does not do with information on your device.
The game itself collects nothing. There are no accounts, no sign-ins, and no analytics SDKs. The only data handling happens inside Google's advertising service (described under "Advertising" below), which the Remove Ads purchase disables entirely.
Your farm, progress, and settings are saved locally on your device only. They are never uploaded anywhere. Deleting the app deletes your saves.
The free version performs a simple connectivity check (asking the operating system whether a network is available) to gate play sessions, and uses the connection to load advertisements. Players who purchase Remove Ads can play fully offline with no ads and no ad-related data handling at all.
The free version shows advertisements served by Google AdMob: occasional interstitial ads during play and optional "watch an ad" bonus moments you choose to view. To serve and measure ads, Google's SDK may collect and process your device's advertising identifier, IP address, and coarse device information. This processing is governed by Google's Privacy Policy; you can reset or delete your advertising ID in Android settings at any time. We do not receive or store this data ourselves. Purchasing Remove Ads removes all advertising — no ads are shown and the advertising SDK is never used to serve you ads again.
If and when in-app purchases (such as Remove Ads) are offered, payment is processed entirely by Google Play. We never see or store your payment details.
The game collects no data from anyone, including children. Please note the game contains casino-style arcade mini-games played with in-game coins only (declared as simulated gambling in the content rating); no real money can be won.
The game requests only the permissions Android requires to run a game (network state for the connectivity check described above). It does not request access to your contacts, camera, microphone, location, or files.
If a future update changes any of the above, this page will be updated before that version ships, with the effective date revised.
