Ants 2DPrivacy policy
This page explains what the Ants 2D game keeps about you, what leaves your device, and who it goes to. In short: the game does not ask for your name, email address or any account, and we do not sell or share anything about you for advertising. The game has no adverts.
What stays on your device
- Your saved games and settings. These are kept in the game's own storage on your device and are never sent to us.
- Whether you have bought the full game. The game keeps a record of this on your device so it works without an internet connection. To stop that record being copied to another device, it is tied to an identifier the device gives the game. That identifier stays on your device.
Uninstalling the game deletes all of this.
Buying the full game
The full game is bought through your device's app store (for example Google Play). The store handles the payment: we never see your card details or your store account. The store tells the game that the purchase was made, and the game checks that confirmation on your device. For how the store uses your details, see the store's own privacy policy, such as Google's privacy policy.
Game statistics and crash reports
The game is made with the Unity game engine and uses Unity's analytics and crash reporting. These send Unity details such as your device model and operating system, the game's version, how long the game was played and, if the game crashes, a report of the crash. Unity also uses an identifier for the game on your device, and can tell roughly which country you are in from your internet address. We use these reports only to see how the game is used and to fix problems. Unity's handling of this information is described in Unity's privacy policy.
Two-player games on the same Wi-Fi
When you host or look for a two-player game, the game announces itself to other devices on the same Wi-Fi network so they can find it. To do this it shares your device's name (shown to the other player as your name) and your device's address on that network. During the game, the moves of both colonies pass directly between the two devices. None of this is sent to us or to anyone else outside your network.
Your device's name is whatever the device is called in its settings, which can include your own name. You can change it in your device's settings.
Playing online
Playing against people over the internet is not available yet. Before it is, this policy will be updated to say exactly what that needs, such as the player name you choose and your results.
Children
The game does not ask anyone for personal details and has no chat. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Your rights
You can ask us what we hold about you, or ask us to delete it, by emailing the address below. As the game keeps your saves on your device, most of what there is can be removed by uninstalling the game. For the statistics held by Unity, you can also contact Unity directly through the policy linked above.
