Idle Startup Tycoon
Last updated: March 1, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how Idle Startup Tycoon collects, uses, and shares information. The app is local-first: progress is stored on your device and no account is required to play.
We do not collect names, email addresses, phone numbers, passwords, location data, photos, contacts, or payment information. No registration is required.
A random anonymous UUID is generated locally for analytics. We collect anonymous gameplay events (sessions, progression, achievements, playtime, language, and ad watch completions) via Aptabase and Firebase Analytics.
We use Google AdMob for optional user-initiated rewarded video ads only. No forced banner or interstitial ad placements are used.
If you submit feedback, we may receive category, message, rating, optional contact details, and anonymous gameplay context.
Game saves, preferences (language/audio/haptics), notifications, and ad consent preferences are stored locally on your device. No cloud save is used.
Data is used to improve balance, user experience, bug fixing, progression analytics, and optional rewarded ads. We do not sell data or build cross-app tracking profiles.
Aptabase (analytics), Firebase Analytics (Android analytics), Google AdMob (rewarded ads), and Google Play Services (updates and in-app review).
Internet, Vibrate, Schedule Exact Alarm, Wake Lock, and Network State for analytics, optional ads, haptics, and local notifications.
You can manage ad consent, clear local game data via device settings, disable notification categories, and limit analytics via advertising ID reset or app data reset.
The app is not directed to children under 13. In the EU context, personal data from users under 16 is not processed without verifiable guardian consent under GDPR Article 8.
Local data remains until you clear app data or uninstall. Analytics/ad retention follows provider policies. Data is transmitted over HTTPS. Aptabase is EU-hosted; Google services may process data internationally per their terms.
We may update this policy over time and reflect changes in the last updated date. Continued use implies acceptance of the current version.
