Privacy Policy
Last updated: October 2, 2026
Tomorrow's Tycoon ("the game") is designed to minimize data collection. This policy explains what we collect and how it is used.
1. Data stored on your device
Your game progress and settings are stored on your device. A copy of your progress is also saved to our server automatically while you play; see section 3.
2. Anonymous player ID
To support the leaderboard and cloud saves, the game generates a random anonymous ID on your device. This ID does not identify you personally.
3. Leaderboard and cloud saves
While you play, the game automatically sends our server your anonymous ID, your display name and your score for the leaderboard, and saves a copy of your game progress so it can be restored if you reinstall the game or change device. The game gives you a generated display name; if you choose your own, it is shown to other players on the leaderboard, so don’t use your real name unless you want it seen. This data is used only to provide the leaderboard and cloud saves. To have your saved progress and leaderboard entry deleted from our server, email us (see Contact) with the player ID shown in Settings.
4. Bug reports and error logs
If the game runs into an error, it automatically sends us an error report: the error message and where in the game it happened, the app version, your anonymous player ID, and your device’s browser information (the “user agent”, which includes the device model and operating system version). If you choose to submit a bug report, we also receive your description, your display name, your screen size and language, and your recent error reports, to help diagnose the issue.
5. Usage data
If a backend is enabled, the game records a small number of in-game events so we can tell whether a feature works and whether anyone uses it — for example that a tab was opened, a business was unlocked, an achievement was earned, or a purchase was started. Each event carries the event name, a few in-game numbers relating to it (such as how many hours of production were bought), the time, the app version, your anonymous player ID, and a short description of your device consisting of its model and operating system version, for example “Android 13; Pixel 5”.
We do not collect your name, email address, contacts, location, advertising ID or any identifier that points to you personally through this. The device description is the model and OS version only; it is used to tell real installs apart from the automated test devices Google runs before a release, and to reproduce problems on the hardware they happen on.
6. In-app purchases
The game offers optional in-app purchases through Google Play. We never see or receive your payment details — card numbers, billing address and the payment itself are handled entirely by Google Play, and that information is never sent to us.
When you make a purchase, our server receives and stores:
- a one-way hash of the Google Play purchase token, plus its first 8 characters, used to confirm the purchase with Google and to make sure a purchase is only ever granted once;
- the Google Play order ID;
- the product purchased and what it granted;
- your anonymous player ID, so the purchase can be restored if you reinstall the game or change device;
- the date and time of the purchase.
We do not store the full purchase token. We use this data only to deliver what you bought, to restore it on a new install, and to handle refunds and support requests. Purchase records are kept for as long as your entitlement lasts and as long as tax and accounting rules require.
To verify a purchase we send the purchase token and product ID to the Google Play Developer API. When a purchase is made, Google Play also receives an obfuscated (hashed) form of your anonymous player ID so the purchase can be linked back to your game progress.
7. Notifications
You may optionally enable notifications. You can disable them at any time in your device settings.
8. Advertising
The Android app offers optional video ads. You choose to watch one in return for an in-game reward, such as double income or free gems; no ad plays unless you ask for one. The ads are provided by Google AdMob. When an ad is requested or shown, Google collects information from your device, including its advertising ID, IP address (from which an approximate location can be worked out), device and app details, and how you interact with the ad. Google uses it to show and measure ads, to prevent fraud and, where you have agreed, to personalise ads. See how Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services.
If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, the app asks for your consent with Google’s consent form before any ad is requested. You can change your choice at any time in Settings → Ad privacy choices. You can also reset or delete your device’s advertising ID in its settings. With the Ad-Free purchase, no ads are shown.
We never receive your advertising ID, and we do not give advertisers any of your game data.
9. Third-party services
We do not sell your data. Apart from Google AdMob (section 8), the game contains no advertising or tracking SDK. We use Google Play for app distribution and for processing in-app purchases; Google’s handling of your data is covered by the Google Privacy Policy. We may also use the fonts and hosting services needed to run the game.
