Torus Keep
In short: Torus Keep has no account and keeps your game on your device. The developer runs no server and receives no data from the app. If you're signed in to Apple's Game Center, the game sends Apple your achievements and best scores (from version 1.2). The only other data that leaves your device through the game goes to Google AdMob, which provides the optional ads. You never have to watch an ad, and owners of Bonus without ads never see one.
Torus Keep is made by Jason Fraser, an independent developer, who is responsible for this app and this policy. Contact: JfDevIos@gmail.com. Google is responsible for the data it collects through its advertising service, as described in section 4.
The game keeps these in its own storage on your iPhone or iPad. None of it is sent to the developer.
You can delete your progress, sortie history, recent ad IDs and the record of what was sent to Game Center at any time in Settings › Delete all local data, or delete everything by deleting the app. Achievements and scores already in Game Center are kept by Apple (section 9). Your ad privacy choices can be changed in Settings › Ads › Ad privacy choices (where they apply). If you choose Settings › Export save and sortie history, the game hands those files to the iOS share sheet and you decide where they go.
Apart from Apple's own services for purchases and Game Center (sections 8 and 9), the game makes no network connections of its own. It includes Google's advertising software (the Google Mobile Ads SDK and Google's User Messaging Platform), and the game starts that software only when an ad offer appears:
Torus Keep's optional rewarded video ads are provided by Google AdMob, an advertising service of Google. When an ad is requested or shown, Google may collect from your device, according to Google's own disclosure:
Google uses this to show and measure ads, to limit how often an ad repeats, to prevent fraud and abuse, and for analytics. Torus Keep asks Google for non-personalised ads only, which means ads are not based on your past behaviour in other apps or websites, and restricts ads to general-audience content (rated G). Torus Keep does not use App Tracking Transparency, does not track you across apps or websites, and never rewards you for granting any permission.
How Google uses this information is described in How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services and in the Google Privacy Policy. Apart from Apple's Game Center (section 9), Google is the only third party that receives data through the game. It protects that data under the Google Privacy Policy and its terms with app developers, keeps it for the periods described there, and may process it on servers outside your country.
If an ad is inappropriate, use Settings › Ads › Report an ad, or Report this ad on the screen after an ad. It opens an email to the developer, pre-filled with the app version and the ad's reference number, time and place in the game. Nothing is sent unless you send the email. The developer uses it only to look up and block the ad in AdMob.
If you write for support or to report an ad, the developer receives your email address and what you write, and uses them only to answer you and fix problems. Emails are kept only as long as needed for that, and you can ask for yours to be deleted.
Purchases are one-time and processed entirely by Apple. The developer never sees your payment details, billing address or Apple Account. Apple handles purchases under the Apple Privacy Policy.
Game Center is Apple's service for achievements and leaderboards. It is optional, and the game is the same without it.
Notifications are off unless you allow them. After your first Reclaimer claim, the game asks once whether you would like them; if you say yes, iOS asks for your permission. If you allow them, the game can tell you when your Reclaimers are full or new Daily Orders are in: at most one a day, never from 9 pm to 9 am, and never about offers. iOS schedules and shows them on your device; no server or push service is involved, and nothing is sent. Turn each one off in the game's Settings › Notifications, or all of them in the iOS Settings app. Allowing notifications earns no reward.
If you test Torus Keep through Apple's TestFlight, Apple may share with the developer the crash reports and feedback you choose to send, as described in Apple's TestFlight terms. TestFlight builds show Google's test ads, which use the same Google software described above.
Torus Keep is a general-audience game and is not directed at children under 13. The developer does not knowingly collect personal information from children. Ads are non-personalised and limited to general-audience content.
Depending on where you live (for example under the GDPR in Europe and the UK, or US state privacy laws), you may have rights to access, correct, delete or object to the use of your personal data, to withdraw consent, and to complain to your data protection authority. The developer holds no data about you other than any emails you send; contact JfDevIos@gmail.com about those. For data collected by Google for ads, use Settings › Ads › Ad privacy choices and Google's tools described in the Google Privacy Policy. Where consent is the basis for ad-related processing, it is collected by Google's consent message; answering your emails relies on the developer's legitimate interest in providing support.
If this policy changes, the new version will be posted on this page with a new effective date, before the app version it describes is released.
