Idle Forge Privacy Policy

Effective date: 10 August 2026
App: Idle Forge (com.tobioedge.idleforge)
Developer contact: tobdev237@gmail.com

Idle Forge is an idle/clicker game. It has no accounts, no sign-in, and no analytics SDK. This policy describes the small amount of data that is involved in running it.

Data the game itself handles

Your game progress is stored only on your device. Saves live in the app's private storage. We (the developer) never receive, see, or store your progress.

• Save codes. You can export your progress as a text code from Settings. The code contains only game progress (resources, upgrades, timestamps). It is placed on your clipboard and goes only where you choose to paste it.
• Settings (sound, notifications, display options) are stored on your device only.
• Reminders. If you enable them, the game schedules local notifications on your device. Nothing is sent anywhere.
• Clock check. To keep offline earnings fair, the app may contact a server to read the current time. This request carries no personal data and no game data; only a timestamp is read back.
• Deleting your data. Use Settings → Reset all progress, or uninstall the app. Because everything is on your device, that removes it completely.

Advertising (Google AdMob)

Idle Forge shows ads through Google AdMob (the Google Mobile Ads SDK). All rewards offered by ads can also be earned by simply playing.

Like most ad SDKs, Google's SDK may collect and process:

• Device identifiers, including the advertising ID
• IP address (which implies approximate location)
• Device and app information (model, OS version, app package)
• Ad interaction data (impressions, clicks) and diagnostics

This collection is performed by Google under Google's own policies:

• How Google uses data from apps that use its services
• Google Privacy Policy
• Ad personalization controls

Consent (EEA/UK). Where the GDPR applies, a consent form is shown before any ad is requested. You can change or withdraw your choice at any time in Settings → Ad privacy settings. Declining personalized ads does not remove any game content: ads only ever offer shortcuts.

Children

Idle Forge is not directed at children under 13. Ad content is configured for a general audience.

Changes

If this policy changes (for example, if a cloud-save option is added), the updated version will be published at this address with a new effective date.
