Privacy Policy

Sunny Harvest (com.fatalbug.idlefarmtycoon) · Android · Developer: FatalBug
Effective: October 5, 2026 (previous version: August 29, 2026)

In plain terms

The game has no account of its own. We do not ask for your name, email or phone number.
Your farm is saved on your device. If you are signed in to Google Play Games, a copy is also saved to your Google account (Play Games saved games) so you can restore it on another device. We do not run our own servers.
Ads (Google AdMob), analytics, crash reports and remote settings (Firebase) are provided by Google and use device-level identifiers, not your identity.
Every ad in the game is optional: you only see an ad when you choose to watch one for a reward.
Purchases go through Google Play. We never see your payment details.
You can erase your progress at any time with Settings → Reset Profile. This erases the save on the device and replaces your Play Games cloud save with a fresh farm.

1. Who we are

Sunny Harvest is developed by FatalBug ("we", "us"), an independent game developer. This policy explains what information the app collects when you install and play it, and how that information is used by us and by the third-party services the app relies on. It applies only to Sunny Harvest.

2. Information we collect

2.1 Collected automatically by third-party services

The services listed in Section 4 may collect, depending on your region and consent choices:

Device identifiers used for advertising, such as the Android Advertising ID, and app-instance identifiers used by Firebase.
Approximate location derived from your IP address, used for example to decide whether ad-consent rules such as GDPR apply to you. We do not use precise location.
Device and app information: device model, OS version, app version, language, and gameplay events (for example a session start, an upgrade bought, a reward ad watched, a tutorial step completed).
Crash and performance diagnostics: stack traces and device state at the time of a crash.

2.2 Game progress

Your save (resources, upgrades, prestige progress, achievements, purchases' in-game effects and settings) is stored in the app's private storage on your device. If you are signed in to Google Play Games Services, the same save is also stored in your Google account's Play Games saved games, which only this app and you can access. Google may show your Play Games profile name and avatar to the game when you sign in; we do not store them anywhere else.

2.3 Support ID

Settings shows a "Player ID": a random code created on first launch and stored only on your device. It is not derived from your device or your Google account, and the game does not send it anywhere by itself. It is included only if you choose to contact support, so we can find your report.

2.4 Information you send us

If you email us, we receive what you choose to include (usually your email address and your Player ID). We use it only to answer you.

3. How we use information

To run the game and keep your progress between sessions and across devices.
To show rewarded ads you choose to watch, including personalised ads where you have consented.
To understand overall play patterns and balance the game.
To find and fix crashes and bugs.
To adjust game settings remotely (for example event lengths or prices in in-game currency) without an app update.
To process in-app purchases through Google Play and to answer support requests.

We do not sell your information for money and do not build a profile of you outside the game. However, when you watch an ad, Google AdMob may use your advertising ID and related data to show personalised ads. Some US state laws, such as the CCPA, treat this as "sharing" or a "sale" of personal information. You can opt out at any time in Settings → Privacy Options (see sections 5 and 10).

4. Third-party services

Service	Purpose	Data involved
Google AdMob	Optional rewarded ads	Advertising ID, approximate location, ad interaction events
Google User Messaging Platform	Asks for and stores your ad-consent choice	Consent status, region, device identifier
Firebase Analytics	Gameplay analytics	Gameplay events, device and app info, app-instance ID, advertising ID
Firebase Crashlytics	Crash reporting	Crash logs, device model, OS version, installation ID
Firebase Remote Config	Remote game settings	Installation ID, app version, device language and country
Google Play Games Services	Sign-in and cloud save	Play Games profile, your saved game
Google Play Billing	In-app purchases	Purchase transaction (handled by Google)

Google's privacy policy covers all of the above: policies.google.com/privacy. For Firebase, see firebase.google.com/support/privacy; for ads, policies.google.com/technologies/ads.

Time check. When the game starts it makes a plain HTTPS request to a public time endpoint (operated by Google or Cloudflare) to read the current date, so time-based rewards can't be unlocked by changing the device clock. No game or personal data is sent; as with any web request, the endpoint sees your IP address.

5. Advertising and consent

The game does not show forced or interstitial ads. An ad plays only when you tap an offer to watch one in exchange for an in-game reward.

If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, the game shows a consent form on first launch using Google's User Messaging Platform, a certified consent management platform. You can review or change your choice at any time in Settings → Privacy Options. If you are in a US state with a consumer privacy law (such as California), no form is shown on launch, but Settings → Privacy Options lets you choose "Don't sell or share my data", which turns off personalised ads. If that option is not shown, it does not apply to your region. Elsewhere, ad personalisation follows your device settings (for example "Delete advertising ID" or "Opt out of Ads Personalization" in Android settings).

6. Notifications

With your permission, the game schedules reminders on your device (for example when your crops are ready or a daily reward is available). They are created locally on the device; no push server is involved. You can turn them off in the game's Settings or in Android's notification settings.

7. In-app purchases

The game offers optional purchases, such as Golden Seeds (an in-game currency) and permanent upgrades, processed by Google Play Billing. We receive confirmation that a purchase succeeded and which item was bought, but never your card number, billing address or other payment details.

8. Data retention and deletion

Save on the device: kept until you uninstall the app, clear its data or use Reset Profile.
Play Games cloud save: kept in your Google account until Reset Profile replaces it with a fresh farm, or until you delete the game's data from your Google Play Games settings.
Analytics and crash data: kept according to Firebase's retention settings, up to 14 months, then deleted or aggregated.
Advertising data: kept according to Google's advertising policies.

Because analytics data is not linked to your Player ID, your name or your email, we usually cannot single out your records in it. You can reset your advertising ID in Android settings, and you can contact us for anything else.

9. Children

The game is intended for a general audience and is not directed at children under 13 (or the minimum age in your country). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has given us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.

10. Your rights and choices

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete or object to the processing of information about you, and to opt out of its "sale" or "sharing" as defined by laws such as the CCPA. Most of the information above is held by Google, so the most direct tools are:

Google My Ad Center for ad personalisation;
Android Settings → Privacy → Ads, to reset or delete your advertising ID;
in the game: Settings → Privacy Options (ad consent) and Settings → Reset Profile (erase progress);
your Google Play Games settings, to delete the game's cloud data.

For anything else, email us and we will help as far as we can.

11. Security

Your save is kept in the app's private storage, protected by Android, and in Google's Play Games storage. Data sent to the services above travels over encrypted connections. No method of storage or transmission is completely secure, but the game sends data only to the services named in this policy.

12. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy when the game changes, for example if we add a new service. The effective date at the top shows the latest version. Significant changes will also be announced in the game.
