01Overview
This policy explains what information the AI Click Empire Android game and its supporting services ("we", "us") collect, how it is used, and the choices you have. AI Click Empire is currently being prepared for closed testing on Android.
02Information we collect
Game progress
Your clout balance, workers, upgrades, prestige count, achievements and settings are stored locally on your device.
Optional sign-in
Clerk handles email verification and Google sign-in. Email sign-in uses your email address and authentication records. If you choose Google, the requested Google profile data is limited to your email address, name and profile picture (avatar). Clerk assigns an account ID. We do not request access to your Gmail messages, Google Drive files, contacts or unrelated Google account data.
Cloud save and leaderboard (signed-in players)
When signed in, your game state is stored on our servers under your Clerk user ID so you can restore progress on another or reinstalled device. Your display name and score may appear on the global leaderboard.
Support reports
If you choose to send a report from the game, we receive your description, any images or video you attach, your player name, your signed-in account identifier (if any), and automatically included game and device context: game progress, app/build version, device model, operating system version and ad error diagnostics. Drafts stay on your device until you send them. Please do not attach passwords, payment details, or media you do not want to share. Emails you send us directly are received in our support mailbox.
Gameplay analytics
We record pseudonymous gameplay events (such as event type, a pseudonymous device identifier and simple values like levels or counts) to understand how the game is played and to fix balance and stability problems. These events are not intended to contain your name or email.
Advertising data
For players without a subscription, Google AdMob may collect your advertising ID, IP address, approximate location, device information and ad interaction data. See section 4.
Purchase data
Subscriptions are purchased through Google Play and managed with RevenueCat. See section 5.
Website and service logs
Our hosting services process technical request information, such as IP address, browser information and requested pages, to deliver the website and protect the service. This public website does not add advertising trackers or analytics cookies.
Crash and diagnostic data
The app framework may produce crash and diagnostic information that helps us fix bugs.
03How we use it
- Save, sync and restore your game progress
- Run the leaderboard for signed-in players
- Show ads to non-subscribers and grant rewarded-ad bonuses
- Process subscriptions and unlock ad-free play
- Investigate and answer support reports
- Measure gameplay, fix bugs and improve balance
- Prevent cheating, abuse and fraud
04Advertising and your ad choices
We use Google AdMob for banner and rewarded ads. Where required, such as in the EEA, UK and Switzerland, a consent message is shown using Google's User Messaging Platform (UMP), and you can revisit your ad privacy choices where the app makes that option available. Depending on your choices and location, ads may be personalised or non-personalised.
You can also reset or delete your advertising ID or opt out of ad personalisation in your Android settings (for example, Settings, then Google, then Ads, or Settings, then Privacy, then Ads, depending on your device).
Google's information practices are described in How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services.

06Retention

07Your rights and choices
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or receive a copy of your personal information, to restrict or object to certain processing, and to withdraw consent.
In some US states, the use of data for targeted (cross-context behavioural) advertising may count as "sharing" or "targeted advertising" under local law. Where those laws apply, you can opt out by using the in-app ad privacy choices where available, by turning off ad personalisation in your Android settings, or by emailing us.
To delete your account and server-side data, see Delete Account. For any other request, email alexnovakgames9@gmail.com. We may need to verify your request. You may also complain to your local data protection authority.
08Children
AI Click Empire is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has provided personal information, contact us and we will delete it.
09Legal grounds, transfers and security
Where the GDPR applies, we process account, save and purchase information to provide the services you request; use consent for advertising where required; and rely on legitimate interests for proportionate security, troubleshooting and service improvement. We may also process information to meet legal obligations.
Our service providers may process information outside your country, including outside the EEA. Applicable transfer safeguards and the providers' policies govern those transfers. Contact us for information about transfers relevant to your data.
We use reasonable measures to protect information, but no method of transmission or storage is completely secure.
10Changes
We may update this policy. The date at the top will change, and significant changes may also be communicated in the app.
