This policy applies to the Android game Ember Expedition, including its closed testing versions, with package name com.emberexpedition.origin. It explains data handling by the game, Google services and our support contact.

1. Local play and stored data

You can play without signing in to Google Play Games, and no Spincore Studio account is required. The game stores your character, level, experience, currency, equipment and items, skills, map and quest progress, last play time, settings and rewarded-ad progress on your device. It may also keep local backups. The game offers save-code export and import.

Local data supports progress saving, preferences and game features. Keep your device and exported save codes secure: a save code can be used to restore your progress.

2. Google Play Games sign-in and cloud saves

The Android version uses Google Play Games Services. At startup, it checks authentication through Google. Depending on your Play Games settings, it may sign you in automatically and read an existing cloud save. If authentication does not succeed, you can use the sign-in button or continue with local play. Google handles sign-in and account authentication.

The game uses your Play Games display name to show sign-in status. It does not ask you to enter your Google password or independently read your Google account email address. Google processes account identifiers and authentication data as part of its service.

After you are signed in and start playing, the game synchronises the progress and settings described above, together with a level summary, through Google's saved games service for backup and restoration across devices. Under Settings → Save Backup, you can sign in, upload a save or load a cloud save. Synchronisation may also occur during periodic saves or when the app moves to the background.

Choosing to start with this phone's progress does not disable cloud synchronisation. If you are signed in, continuing with local progress still enables synchronisation to that account. To play without cloud services, first manage or disable automatic sign-in for this game in your Google Play Games account settings, then play while signed out.

3. Google AdMob rewarded ads

The game integrates Google AdMob for optional rewarded ads. You can play without watching ads. The release version uses Google AdMob production ad units; ad content is provided by Google.

The advertising SDK may process data at startup, during initialisation or while preloading ads, before you watch an ad. Google and its partners may process IP addresses and approximate location derived from them, app launches and interactions, ad interactions, diagnostic and performance information, advertising IDs, app set IDs and other applicable device or account identifiers. Purposes include providing and measuring advertising, analysing service performance and preventing fraud. Actual processing depends on the SDK, device and consent settings.

The game uses Google's consent management service and shows a consent form where applicable. You can use Google's and Android's controls to manage advertising preferences or reset/delete your advertising ID. See the Google Privacy Policy, How Google uses information from partner sites and apps and Google Mobile Ads data disclosure.

4. Support contact and purposes

If you email us, we receive your sender address, message and any screenshots, device information or attachments you choose to provide. We use these to respond, investigate problems and handle data requests. Do not send passwords or unnecessary sensitive information.

Game progress supports gameplay and backup. Google services handle data for the purposes described above and under their policies. We do not sell your save data or support correspondence.

5. Retention, management and deletion

• Local progress: Use Android's app storage settings to clear game data or uninstall the game to remove its data from the device. Separately saved or shared save codes, exports and other backups must be managed separately.
• Google cloud data: Clearing local data or uninstalling does not itself delete data held in your Google account. Google provides controls to manage and delete individual game data; follow its instructions for deleting Play Games data or a profile. Retention and deletion are handled under Google's service and policies. Signing in and synchronising again may upload local progress again.
• Support data: Correspondence may remain in our support mailbox to track and resolve issues. You can contact us to request access to or deletion of the information you provided. We will confirm the request, explain what we can process, and identify any information that needs to be retained for legal requirements or unresolved matters.

For help or questions about the scope of deletion, contact spincore.studio@gmail.com. This policy does not guarantee immediate deletion of every copy held by a third-party service.

6. Children and policy changes

The game is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly request personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided information through our support contact, please let us know.

We will update this page and its date when features or data practices change. For our other websites and games, see the Spincore Studio privacy policy and the policy applicable to each service.
