Privacy policy
Last updated: 2026-10-15 · Applies to the Glimmerwood app on Android and iOS.
The short version
- You don't make an account. Your progress is saved on your device.
- The free version shows ads. Ad partners use your device's advertising ID to choose and measure ads, only as far as you allow: you are asked for consent where the law requires it (for example the EU and UK), and on iPhone you choose whether to allow tracking.
- If you buy "Remove ads", the app store handles payment. We never see your card details.
- We use anonymous gameplay statistics and crash reports to make the game better.
What is collected and why
Advertising (Google AdMob and its mediation partners): advertising ID, approximate location from IP address, device and app information, and how you interact with ads. Used to show, limit and measure ads and to prevent fraud. Google's policy: how Google uses data from partner apps.
Purchases (RevenueCat, Apple App Store, Google Play): purchase history and a random app user ID, so your "Remove ads" purchase can be checked and restored. RevenueCat's policy: revenuecat.com/privacy.
Analytics and crash reports (Google Firebase): anonymous gameplay events (for example "expedition finished"), device type, and crash logs. Used to fix bugs and balance the game. Not used to identify you.
On your device only: your save (gold, upgrades, camp), and your settings.
Your choices
- Ad consent: open the game, tap Privacy on the home screen to review or change your choices at any time.
- Tracking on iPhone: Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking.
- Advertising ID on Android: Settings → Google → Ads, to reset or delete it.
- Remove all data on your device: uninstall the app.
Ask us to delete your data
Email pubshiftsupport@gmail.com with the subject "Glimmerwood data deletion". If you bought "Remove ads", include your store order number so we can find the RevenueCat record. We act on requests within 30 days. Ad partners hold their own data; use the links above to manage it with them.
Children
Glimmerwood is not directed at children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect their personal information. If you believe a child has used the app and data was collected, contact us and we will delete it.
Changes and contact
We will update this page when the app changes what it collects. Questions: pubshiftsupport@gmail.com.
