Controller and contact
The data controller is Roberto Drago. Contact dg.projects2026@gmail.com for support and privacy requests. This policy covers Gnome Quarry for Android, iOS and the web version, where available.
Game data on your device
Progress, coins, inventory, village, age band, sound, language, privacy choices and delivered transaction references are stored on your device. Before opening a payment, we locally record the attempt, product, technical customer reference, date and previously known transactions to recover interrupted delivery without duplicates. We do not request your full date of birth, name, location, contacts, photos or a game account. There is no cloud game save. League opponents are simulated, not real people. Local data remains until reset or app removal, subject to operating system behavior. Reset preserves non-consumable ownership and transaction references needed to prevent duplicate delivery, and attempts whose delivery is still pending.
Optional PostHog analytics
Only players who select age 16 or above may opt into sharing gameplay events with PostHog. Refusing does not limit the game. With consent we send session openings and duration, screens, tutorial steps, level attempts and outcomes, merges, tool purchases, village and wheel use, ad events and purchase outcomes. Events include limited parameters such as level, duration, placement and product, app version, browser/device technical information and a random installation identifier. These data are pseudonymous, not anonymous.
We disable session recordings, automatic click capture, advertising profiling with PostHog data and linking analytics to your store account. The SDK loads only after opt-in and when a project is configured. IP geolocation is disabled in PostHog, although its servers still receive the IP needed for a connection. The project region is configured to match the controller’s account. Legal basis: consent. Withdraw it in Privacy and ads to stop future collection and reset the SDK identifier. Withdrawal does not automatically delete events previously sent. Contact us to request deletion and, where available, include the identifier shown in settings before withdrawing consent.
Google AdMob advertising
When AdMob is configured, players aged 16 or above may see ads between levels and choose rewarded ads. Google UMP presents the privacy choices required in your region; the game requests ads only when UMP allows requests. Choosing non-personalized ads in the game also enforces that restriction. Cross-app tracking on iOS additionally requires Apple App Tracking Transparency authorization. Refusal does not prevent gameplay. We do not share PostHog events with Google for advertising personalization.
Google and configured advertising partners may process IP, advertising/device identifiers where allowed, ad interactions, technical and diagnostic information for delivery, measurement, fraud prevention and, if authorized, personalization. Non-personalized ads may still process data for delivery, security and measurement. Legal bases depend on the purpose and the choices presented by the provider, including consent where required. Revisit Google’s choices in Privacy and ads; availability and form content depend on your region. Remove ads removes interstitials; rewarded ads remain optional.
Store purchases and RevenueCat
When enabled, purchases are processed by Apple App Store or Google Play. We do not receive full payment card details. RevenueCat validates purchases and manages access using a technical installation/customer identifier, products, receipts or tokens, transactions, purchase status and necessary technical information. We do not link its identifier to PostHog or require a game account. Legal bases: performing the purchase, legal obligations and, where applicable, legitimate interests in preventing fraud and defending rights. We check RevenueCat history when you open the shop and, when purchases are pending, on startup or returning to the app to recover delivery. We also check previously owned non-consumable rights. Restore purchases recovers non-consumables recognized by the store; previously delivered coins are not granted again. Pending delivery recovery requires the local references to remain present. There is no cloud coin balance.
Younger players
For under-13 and 13–15 age bands, ad requests and analytics are disabled. Age band stays on the device and is not sent to PostHog. For under-13 players, shop access, purchases, external support actions and local data reset require the game’s parental gate. The store may require further approval. The arithmetic gate is not age verification or verified parental consent and is never used to authorize analytics or advertising for younger players.
Support, recipients and international transfers
If you email us, we process your email address and message to respond, handle rights requests and protect the service, on the basis of fulfilling your request, legal obligations and legitimate interests in providing support. Email providers and stores process data under their own roles and policies. PostHog and RevenueCat receive the described data only when their respective features are active; Google and selected partners receive advertising data when AdMob is used. Providers may operate outside the European Economic Area, using adequacy decisions or safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses where required. An EU PostHog region does not guarantee the absence of all international transfers.
Retention and security
Data are retained only as needed for the stated purposes: understanding and improving gameplay for analytics, managing and evidencing rights for transactions, completing support requests and subsequently defending rights, plus any legally required periods. Technical retention also depends on provider settings and contracts. Contact us for the period applicable to your request or to request deletion. We limit transmitted data, use encrypted connections and never embed administrative credentials in the app.
Your rights and choices
Where applicable, you may request access, correction, deletion, restriction, portability or objection, and withdraw consent. Contact dg.projects2026@gmail.com; we may request only information needed to identify and handle your request. You may complain to the Italian data protection authority (www.garanteprivacy.it) or your competent authority. Reset local game data in settings to remove progress, including purchased coin balances, without cloud recovery. Local reset does not automatically delete provider data or records that must be kept by law. Contact us for remote deletion; stores manage their own payment information.
