Harvest Twist - Privacy Policy
This policy explains what information the mobile game Harvest Twist ("the game") collects, why, and the choices you have. The game is published on Google Play by Gamez4Jali ("we").
1. Information the game collects
- Game progress - levels, stars, coins, farm progress, settings and a randomly generated farm name (for example "Lucky Sower 408"). It is stored on your device and, when online, in our cloud save (Google Firebase Cloud Firestore) so you can keep it on a new phone. You cannot type your own name or messages, so the game does not collect free text from you.
- Account identifiers - if you sign in with Google Play Games, an identifier for your Play Games account; otherwise an anonymous Firebase account identifier. We do not receive your email address or password.
- Club information - if you join a club: your generated farm name, level and weekly score, and the preset messages you choose to post. Other members of the club can see these.
- Usage and diagnostics - game events (such as level started or finished, purchases made in the game), device model, operating system, app version, and crash reports, via Google Firebase Analytics and Firebase Crashlytics. This helps us balance levels and fix bugs.
- Advertising - the game shows ads through Google AdMob. AdMob may collect your device's advertising ID, IP address and information about ad interactions to show and measure ads. Where the law requires it (for example in the EEA, the UK and some US states) the game asks for your consent first, using Google's consent form.
- Purchases - in-app purchases are processed by Google Play. We receive an order confirmation (order id and item), never your payment details.
- Notifications - if you allow them, the game schedules reminders on your device (for example when your lives are full). These are local and are not sent through our servers.
2. How we use it
To run the game and keep your progress, to provide clubs and cloud save, to show ads and offer optional reward videos, to process purchases, to understand how the game is played and improve it, and to fix crashes. We do not sell your personal information.
3. Third-party services
The game uses these Google services, which process data under their own policies:
- Google AdMob and the User Messaging Platform - policies.google.com/technologies/ads
- Google Firebase (Analytics, Crashlytics, Authentication, Cloud Firestore, Remote Config) - firebase.google.com/support/privacy
- Google Play Games Services and Google Play Billing - policies.google.com/privacy
4. Your choices
- Ads consent - where available, open Settings → Ad privacy choices to change your consent at any time. You can also reset or delete your advertising ID in your phone's Android settings.
- No Ads - the No Ads purchase removes banner and between-level ads (optional reward videos stay available if you want them).
- Notifications - turn reminders off in Settings or in your phone's settings.
- Delete your data - open Settings → Delete my data. This deletes your cloud save, your club membership and your online account, and resets the game on your phone. You can also ask us by email (see how to delete your data). We complete requests within 30 days. Analytics and crash data are pseudonymous and are deleted automatically by Google according to its retention settings (at most 14 months).
5. Data retention and security
Cloud saves and club data are kept while you play and are deleted when you delete your data (in the game or by email). Data is sent over encrypted connections (HTTPS) and stored on Google Cloud infrastructure.
6. Children
Harvest Twist is intended for players aged 13 and over and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us information, contact us and we will delete it.
7. Changes
We may update this policy. The date at the top shows the latest version; important changes will be announced in the game.
