Your privacy is important to us. This policy explains how we handle your data.
This Privacy Policy explains what information Finger Bakery: Idle Tycoon ("Finger Bakery", the "app") collects, how we use it, and the choices you have. Finger Bakery is published by GER LLC ("we", "us"). It applies to the app on iPhone, Apple Watch and Android.
Finger Bakery doesn't require you to create an account, and we never ask for your name, email address, phone number or location.
Your bakery (pastries, cash, equipment, upgrades, statistics and settings) is saved on your device. On iPhone it can also be synced through your own iCloud account, which we can't access.
The daily leagues and the Hall of Fame are run by our own server. To take part, the app sends:
If you allow notifications, the app sends a push token (Apple Push Notification service or Firebase Cloud Messaging) to our server so we can tell you about promotions, demotions, your league and reminders. You can turn notifications off in your device settings at any time.
To understand how the game is played and to fix problems, the app records gameplay events (for example, purchases of in-game equipment, league changes and screens viewed) together with your device type, operating system and app version. We use Google Analytics for Firebase, Aptabase and our own analytics server. These events are tied to a random app-instance ID, not to your name.
The free version shows ads served through the Unity LevelPlay mediation platform, which requests ads from our ad partners: Google AdMob, Unity Ads, Meta Audience Network and Pangle. These partners may collect your device's advertising ID, IP address (from which they can infer your approximate location) and information about ad interactions, to show, measure and personalize ads. On iPhone, the app asks for your permission through Apple's App Tracking Transparency prompt before the advertising ID is used for tracking, and you can change your choice at any time in Settings. Where the law requires it (for example in the EEA and UK), the app also asks for your consent before personalized ads are shown. You can reset or limit the advertising ID in your device settings. Buying "Remove Ads" turns ads off.
In-app purchases are handled by the Apple App Store or Google Play. We receive confirmation of what was bought (and a purchase token, to verify it), but never your payment details.
If you sign in to Game Center (iPhone) or Google Play Games (Android), achievements are saved to your account with that service under its own privacy policy. On iPhone, your Game Center player ID and nickname may be used for the leaderboards as described in 2.2.
On Android, the app may ask Google Play Integrity to confirm that leaderboard scores come from a genuine copy of the app. This check doesn't give us any personal information.
If you email us, we receive your email address and whatever you write to us.
We don't sell your personal information.
We share information only with the service providers that run parts of the app for us:
We may also disclose information if the law requires it, or as part of a merger or sale of the business. Your display name and scores are visible to other players on the leaderboards.
All data the app sends is encrypted in transit (HTTPS). Leaderboard scores are signed by the app so they can't be easily forged. No method of storage or transmission is completely secure, but we work to protect your information.
Leaderboard records are kept while you play and for as long as they're needed to run the leaderboards. Analytics events are kept only as long as we need them to understand and improve the game.
To delete your leaderboard data, email fin@ger.llc with your display name (shown in the app's leaderboard) and your platform. We'll delete your player record, scores and push token within 30 days. To delete your game progress, use "Reset Game Data" in the app's About tab or uninstall the app.
Finger Bakery isn't directed to children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child under 13 has used the app, contact us and we'll delete their leaderboard data.
Our service providers may process information in the United States and other countries whose data protection laws may differ from yours.
We'll post any changes on this page and update the "Last Updated" date above.
