Privacy policy
The short version
- GroveRaiders has no accounts and no sign-in. Your game progress and settings are saved on your phone, and we do not receive them.
- The game shows rewarded ads from Google AdMob, only when you choose to watch one. Google's ad software collects some device data to show and measure ads and to prevent fraud. It is explained below.
- The current version of the game has no in-app purchases.
- We, SasiPixel Games, do not run servers for the game and do not sell personal information.
Who we are
GroveRaiders is made by SasiPixel Games. In this policy, "we", "us" and "our" mean SasiPixel Games, which is CONFIRM BEFORE PUBLISHING: your legal name or registered business name, and your country.

What this policy covers
This policy covers the GroveRaiders app for Android and this website. It does not cover the websites or services of other companies, such as Google, even when the game or this site links to them.
Information the game keeps on your phone
To remember your game, GroveRaiders saves the following on your device only:
- your progress: levels cleared, coins, gems, gear, upgrades, raiders, missions, achievements and the daily reward streak;
- your settings, such as sound, music, vibration, screen shake and control layout;
- simple counters the game uses itself, such as how many rewarded ads you have watched and how many supply drops you collected today.
This information is not sent to us or to anyone else by the game. You can delete it at any time with Settings → Erase progress, or by uninstalling the app.
If Android backup is turned on for your Google account, Android may include the game's saved data in your device backup so it can be restored on a new phone. That backup is handled by Google under your Google account settings, not by us.
We do not ask for, and the game does not collect, your name, email address, phone number, contacts, photos, precise location or any account details.
Advertising: Google AdMob
GroveRaiders earns money from rewarded ads served by Google AdMob, Google's advertising service. An ad is only shown when you tap a button to watch one, for example to double the coins or XP of a level, revive once, double the daily reward or collect a supply drop. Ads never play on their own and never interrupt a level. You get the reward only if the ad plays to the end.
To show and measure ads and prevent fraud, the Google Mobile Ads software inside the app automatically collects and shares the following with Google. This list follows Google's own disclosure for its Android ads software (version 25.x):
| Data | What it is | Used for |
|---|---|---|
| IP address | Your device's internet address, which can be used to estimate your general location (such as your country or city), not your precise location | Advertising, analytics, fraud prevention |
| Interactions with ads and the app | For example app launches, taps on ads and video views | Advertising, analytics, fraud prevention |
| Diagnostics | Performance data such as app launch time, hang rate and energy use | Analytics |
| Device identifiers | The Android advertising ID, the app set ID and other identifiers Google may link to accounts on the device | Advertising, analytics, fraud prevention |
Google encrypts this data in transit. Google acts on its own responsibility for this data under the Google Privacy Policy. You can read how Google uses information from apps that use its services at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.
The game asks Google for ads suitable for a general audience: ad requests are limited to content rated for parental guidance or below.
Your choices about ads
- Consent. Where the law requires it (for example in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, Switzerland and some US states), the game shows Google's consent message the first time it starts. Your answer decides whether ads can be personalised. Where the game offers it, you can change your choice later in Settings → Privacy choices.
- Advertising ID. In your phone's settings (usually Settings → Privacy → Ads or Settings → Google → Ads) you can reset or delete your advertising ID. If you delete it, apps can no longer use it for ads.
- Not watching ads. Ads are optional. You can play and progress without ever watching one.
In-app purchases
The current version of GroveRaiders has no in-app purchases, and no payment or purchase information is collected. If we add purchases in a later version, we will update this policy before that version is released.
Permissions the app uses
- Internet and network state: to load ads and Google's consent message.
- Vibration: for short haptic feedback in the game, which you can turn off in Settings.
- Advertising ID: used by Google AdMob as described above.
The game does not ask for access to your camera, microphone, contacts, photos, files or location.
Children's privacy
GroveRaiders is intended for players aged 13 and over and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. The game itself collects no personal information, and its ad requests are not marked as directed at children. If you believe a child has given us personal information, for example by email, contact us and we will delete it.
How long data is kept
- Game data on your phone stays there until you erase your progress or uninstall the app.
- Data collected by Google for advertising is kept by Google according to its own policies.
- If you email us, we keep your message only as long as we need to answer you and handle your request, then delete it.
Security
Your game data stays on your device. The data Google's ads software sends is encrypted in transit, and this website is only served over a secure (HTTPS) connection. No method of storage or transmission is perfectly secure, but we do not hold your personal information on our own systems.
This website
This website is a set of static pages hosted by Cloudflare (Cloudflare Pages). We do not use cookies, analytics or advertising on it, and its fonts and images are served from this site, not from other companies. To deliver and protect the website, Cloudflare processes technical information such as your IP address and browser details, and may set a strictly necessary security cookie if its bot protection is active. See the Cloudflare Privacy Policy.
Sharing and international transfers
We do not sell or rent personal information. The only third parties that receive data through the game are Google (for ads, as described above) and, for this website, Cloudflare. Both may process data in countries other than yours, under their own safeguards.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to ask about, correct or delete personal information about you, or to object to how it is used. Because we do not keep game data or account data on our own systems, most requests about advertising data are best sent to Google, for example through your Google Account. You can always contact us and we will help. You may also complain to your local data protection authority.
Changes to this policy
If we change how the game or this website handles information, we will update this page and the "Last updated" date at the top before the change takes effect.
