Privacy Policy
Crypt Descent is a game. We collect as little as we can, and we never sell your personal information.
What we collect and why
| What | Why | Where it's kept |
|---|---|---|
| Game progress (depths, gold, gems, heroes, pets, settings) | So the game remembers you, and your progress can follow you to a new phone | On your device, and in our cloud save service (Google Firebase) if you sign in |
| Account ID from Sign in with Apple or Google, if you use it | To find your cloud save | Google Firebase |
| Purchase records (what you bought and when; never card details) | To deliver purchases and let you restore them | Apple or Google handle payment; we keep a record of the item only |
| Leaderboard entries (display name and scores) | To show rankings | Apple Game Center or Google Play Games |
| Advertising data (an advertising ID and basic device info) | To show optional reward ads and short ad breaks between depths | Google AdMob |
| Game analytics (for example which depths are hard and which items people choose) | To balance and improve the game | Google Analytics for Firebase, without names attached |
| Crash reports (what the app was doing when it crashed, device model and OS version) | To fix crashes | Firebase Crashlytics, without names attached |
| Bug reports | To fix problems | Only when you choose to send one, by email |
| Notification token | To send the reminders you turned on | Apple and Google push services |
We do not collect your location, contacts, photos, microphone or camera.
Ads
Free players see optional reward ads (for example "watch to double gold") and a short ad break between some depths. The one-time Supporter Pack removes ad breaks. Ads are served by Google AdMob, and we limit them to family-friendly ads (rated G). AdMob may use your device's advertising ID. On iPhone you'll be asked whether to allow tracking, and you can say no. On Android you can reset or delete your advertising ID in your phone's settings.
Our partners
We use Google's services for ads, cloud saves, analytics and crash reports, and Apple's and Google's game services for leaderboards. Their use of data is covered by Google's privacy policy and Apple's privacy policy. We never sell your personal information.
Children
The game is rated for everyone but isn't designed for children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has given us personal information, contact us and we'll delete it.
Your choices
- Notifications: turn each kind on or off in Settings → Notifications, or in your phone's settings.
- Cloud save: play without signing in and your progress stays on your device only.
- Delete your data: Settings → Erase all progress clears this device. To delete your cloud save and account data too, email support@lanternlitgames.com and we'll delete it within 30 days.
How long we keep things
Cloud saves are kept while you play and deleted 12 months after your last sign-in, or sooner if you ask. Purchase records are kept as long as the law requires.
Changes
If this policy changes, we'll update the date at the top and tell you in the game about any important change.
