Lantern Garden is a cozy tap-to-rotate puzzle game. The game is playable offline, and we do not require you to create an account or give us your name, email, or other contact details. We rely on a small set of well-known third-party services for crash reporting, anonymous analytics, optional advertising, and in-app purchases. This policy explains what those services process and the choices you have. We do not sell your personal information.
We do not directly collect your real-world identity. Our third-party SDKs may process the following, typically tied to a device or advertising identifier:
| Data type | Purpose | Processor |
|---|---|---|
| App usage & in-game events (levels played, sessions, taps) | Improve difficulty and game design (aggregate/anonymous analytics) | Google Firebase Analytics |
| Crash logs & diagnostics (device model, OS version, stack traces) | Diagnose crashes and improve stability | Google Firebase Crashlytics |
| Remote-configuration fetch (install/device data) | Tune difficulty and ad limits without an app update | Google Firebase Remote Config |
| Advertising identifier (IDFA/AAID) & ad-interaction data | Serve and measure ads (personalized only with your consent) | Google AdMob |
| Purchase & entitlement records, anonymous app-user ID | Process, restore, and manage in-app purchases | RevenueCat + Apple App Store / Google Play billing |
| Player ID, leaderboard & achievement data (only if you use them) | Game Center / Google Play Games features | Apple Game Center / Google Play Games |
| Game progress and settings | Save your game on your device only — not transmitted to us | Local storage (on-device) |
We do not collect precise location, contacts, photos, microphone, or camera data. Game progress and settings are stored locally on your device.

to opt out of "sale"/"sharing." We do not sell personal information. You will not be discriminated against for exercising these rights.
We retain data only as long as needed for the purposes above. Diagnostic and analytics data follow the processors' defaults (e.g. Firebase Crashlytics ≈ 90 days; Analytics per project settings). Purchase records are kept as required for entitlement restoration and tax/accounting.
Email lanterngarden.app@gmail.com from your request. You can also delete all locally-stored game data by uninstalling the app. For store-held purchase data, use your Apple/Google account controls.
We use reputable providers that transmit data over encrypted connections (HTTPS/ TLS). No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, but we take reasonable measures to protect the limited data processed.
Our processors (Google, Apple, RevenueCat) may process data in countries other than yours, including the United States, under safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses where required.
We may update this policy; the Effective date above reflects the latest version. Material changes will be noted in the app's release notes.
