Privacy Policy for Simple Lands Online

Last Updated: March 12, 2025

Welcome to Simple Lands Online ("the Game"), a browser-based strategy game developed by [Stank] ("we," "us," or "our"). Your privacy is our top priority, and we've designed this Game to be simple, secure, and respectful of your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you play Simple Lands Online via Google Play. Rest assured, any data we collect is used solely for the purpose of providing and improving the Game-nothing else.

1. Information We Collect

We keep data collection to the bare minimum:

No Personal Data Unless You Provide It: We do not collect personally identifiable information (like your name, email address, or phone number) unless you choose to share it with us, such as when you contact us for support.

Gameplay Data: We may collect anonymized, non-personal data like your in-game actions (e.g., moves, progress), device type, and basic usage stats. This helps us ensure the Game runs smoothly and improves over time. This data cannot be traced back to you as an individual.

Google Play Data: When you download Simple Lands Online through Google Play, Google may collect certain information (e.g., device ID, app usage stats) as part of its platform services. This is governed by Google's Privacy Policy, not ours, and we have no control over it.

We do not gather data for advertising, profiling, or any purpose beyond the Game itself.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the limited information we collect exclusively for Simple Lands Online:

That's it. We will never use your information for marketing, selling to third parties, or any purpose unrelated to running and improving Simple Lands Online. Your data stays with the Game and goes no further.

3. Data Sharing

Your information is yours, and we don't share it:

We do not sell, trade, or give your data to third parties for their own use-ever.

The only exception is with trusted service providers (e.g., server hosting or analytics tools) who help us run the Game. These providers process anonymized data on our behalf, are legally bound to keep it confidential, and cannot use it for any other purpose.

We may share data if required by law (e.g., a court order) or to protect the safety and rights of our players and the Game, but only in those rare cases.

Your information will never leave our control for anything other than supporting Simple Lands Online.

4. Security

We take every step to keep your data safe:

Encryption: Any data sent between your device and our servers is encrypted using industry-standard protocols.

Minimal Storage: We store only the minimal data needed, and it's protected with robust security measures to prevent unauthorized access, loss, or breaches.

Our Commitment: Since we collect so little, there's less to protect-but we still treat it with the highest care. Your information is locked down and used only for the Game.

5. Your Choices

You're in control:

Play Anonymously: You can enjoy Simple Lands Online without sharing any personal information.

Opt Out: If you want to stop all data collection, just uninstall the Game from your device-no further action needed.

We don't track you outside the Game or use your data for anything beyond what's needed to play.

6. Children's Privacy

Simple Lands Online is not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children. If we discover that a child under 13 has provided us with data, we will delete it immediately. Our focus is on the Game, not on gathering anyone's personal details-especially kids'.

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy as Simple Lands Online evolves. If we make significant changes, we'll notify you by posting the updated policy in the Game or on Google Play. Check the "Last Updated" date at the top to see the latest version. Your continued use of the Game means you accept the updated terms, but we'll never expand how we use your data beyond supporting the Game without your clear consent.
