The short version
Genesis does not require an account and does not run its own servers. Your game progress is saved only on your device. The game uses RevenueCat for in-app purchases. The current version shows no ads and collects no advertising data; a future update will add Google AdMob for optional ads. Each service collects only a limited set of data, described below.
What is stored on your device
The game saves your progress locally (the app's local storage on-device), including:
- Levels completed, stars, and best moves.
- Creatures collected and in-game "Genome" currency balance.
- Settings (sound, haptics, reduced motion, high contrast).
- One-time flags for tutorials and story beats already seen.
This data is not tied to your identity and is not sent to us. Clearing the app's data, using "New" from the menu, or uninstalling the app erases it.
Ads (Google AdMob)
The current version of Genesis does not show ads and does not collect any advertising data. A future update will add optional rewarded ads (you choose to watch one for a reward) and occasional ads between levels, served by Google AdMob (the Google Mobile Ads SDK). When that update ships, this page and the "Last updated" date will change first.
Once ads are enabled, AdMob can collect device identifiers (including your IDFA, if you allow tracking), coarse location derived from your IP address, and ad-interaction data, to serve and measure ads. On iOS the game will ask for your permission via Apple's App Tracking Transparency (ATT) prompt before any tracking-linked ad data is used; if you decline, Genesis works exactly the same and any ads are simply less personalized. See Google's Privacy Policy and How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services for details on AdMob's data practices.
Purchases (RevenueCat + Apple)
In-app purchases (Genome packs, the Founder's Pack, Pure Genesis) are processed by Apple's App Store and managed on our behalf by RevenueCat, which receives your purchase receipt and an anonymous app-user id to validate purchases and restore them across reinstalls. RevenueCat does not receive your name, email, or payment details — those stay with Apple. See RevenueCat's Privacy Policy and Apple's Privacy Policy.
What we do NOT do
Children
Genesis is rated 4+ and suitable for all ages, but because it shows ads and offers in-app purchases, it is not part of Apple's Kids Category and uses the same standard ad/IAP experience as the rest of the App Store. It is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children beyond what AdMob and Apple collect as described above.

Questions about this policy or the game are always welcome.
Changes to this policy
If what the game collects changes — for example when ads move from test to live inventory at general release — we'll update this page and the "Last updated" date above.
