1. Overview
Idle Swarm is an Android game developed and published by FoxSuda (package name com.foxsuda.idleswarm). This policy explains what information is stored by the game and what may be processed by the third-party advertising services used for optional rewarded ads.
2. Data stored locally
The game stores the following information on your device:
- gameplay progress and save data;
- audio, accessibility, onboarding, and interface settings;
- reward and cooldown state needed for offline progress and rewarded features.
This information is used to provide gameplay and remember your settings. Idle Swarm currently does not provide user accounts or cloud synchronization. Deleting the application or its local storage may permanently remove this data.
FoxSuda does not currently operate a remote gameplay telemetry or crash reporting service for Idle Swarm.
3. Optional rewarded advertising
Idle Swarm uses the Google Mobile Ads SDK (AdMob) to offer voluntary rewarded ads. A player may choose to watch an ad for:
- Double Offline Reward; or
- a temporary Farm Boost x2.
These ads are optional. The game does not require an ad to collect the standard offline reward or continue normal gameplay.
Depending on device, region, consent choice, and Google's configuration, Google Mobile Ads may process data such as IP address or a general location estimate, product interactions, diagnostic information, and device or account identifiers. Google may use this information for advertising, analytics, security, and fraud prevention.
Google describes its data practices in the Google Privacy Policy and its Mobile Ads data disclosure.
4. Consent and regional privacy choices
Google and Android may provide advertising or privacy controls depending on your device, region, account, and eligibility. These controls may affect how advertising data is used or which ads are shown.
Pending public-release requirement: FoxSuda must complete the applicable consent flow and provide a confirmed in-game entry point for reviewing privacy choices before Idle Swarm is publicly released. The current pre-release build should not be understood as already providing those controls inside the game.
5. Children
Idle Swarm does not ask users to create an account or directly submit a name, email address, or other profile information. Advertising and consent behavior may depend on the age and region settings supplied through the applicable platform or consent flow.
A parent or guardian who has a concern about a child's privacy may contact FoxSuda using the method below. This statement does not replace any rights or protections provided by applicable law.
6. Your choices
- You may decline optional rewarded ads and continue normal gameplay.
- You may use available in-game or Android privacy controls.
- You may clear the application's local data or uninstall the game to remove locally stored progress and settings.
Because Idle Swarm currently has no user account or cloud save, FoxSuda cannot remotely recover or delete local save data stored only on your device.
7. Data transfer and security
Google Mobile Ads network communications use encrypted transport such as TLS. No method of electronic storage or transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
8. Changes to this policy
This policy may be updated when the game, its services, or legal requirements change. The latest version will remain available at this URL, with the updated date shown at the top of the page.
9. Contact
Until a dedicated privacy support email is published, privacy questions can be sent through the FoxSuda GitHub profile.
A dedicated privacy contact email should be added here before the public store release.
