Privacy Policy
Effective 9 November 2026
This policy explains what Happy Nest (the "game") collects, why, who it is shared with, how long it is kept, and the choices you have. The game is made by the Happy Nest team ("we"), who are responsible for your data. Contact: [email protected].
Your account
You do not need to sign up. The first time the game connects, it creates an anonymous account identified by a random ID. If you choose to, you can link Game Center (iPhone) so your progress can be restored on a new device; we then store your Game Center player ID and display name.
What we collect
| Data | Why |
|---|---|
| Account ID (random), and your Game Center player ID and display name if you link it | To keep your progress and restore it on a new device |
| Game progress and in-game items, and the leaderboard name and country you choose | To run the game and keep your progress in sync |
| Purchases: product, store transaction ID, date | To deliver what you bought and to restore or refund it |
| Device information: a random device ID created by the game, platform, app version | To sync safely across your devices and to fix bugs |
| Gameplay events (for example level started or finished, taps, screen time, performance) | To understand how the game is played and improve it |
| Rewarded-ad confirmations from our ad partner | To verify that a rewarded ad was watched before granting its reward |
| Your IP address, only as a keyed one-way hash kept for at most 2 days | To protect the service against abuse (rate limiting) |
| Error reports from our servers | To detect and fix problems |
We do not collect your name, email address, contacts, photos or precise location.
Advertising
The game shows ads through AppLovin MAX, which works with other advertising networks. To show ads, these partners may collect information such as your device's advertising identifier, IP address and ad interactions, under their own privacy policies. On iPhone, the advertising identifier is only used if you allow tracking in Apple's prompt. Where the law requires it (for example in the EEA, UK and Switzerland) you are asked for consent first, and you can change your choice later in Settings. Buying ad removal removes interstitial ads; ads you choose to watch for a reward remain available.
Service providers
We use these providers to run the game. They process data on our behalf or under their own policies:
- Supabase — our game server and database (hosted in the European Union).
- RevenueCat — processing and verifying in-app purchases.
- Apple App Store and Google Play — payments; we never see your payment details.
- AppLovin MAX and its mediated ad networks — advertising.
- Google Firebase (Analytics and Remote Config) — usage statistics and game configuration.
- OneSignal — push notifications, if you allow them.
- Sentry — server error monitoring (hosted in the European Union).
We do not sell your personal data. Some of these providers are located outside your country, including in the United States; where required, transfers rely on appropriate safeguards such as the European Commission's standard contractual clauses.
How long we keep it
- Your account and game progress: until you delete your account.
- Detailed gameplay events: 7 days for taps and screen time, 30 days for other events. Daily totals without personal data are kept longer.
- Sync records: 90 days. Rewarded-ad confirmations: about 90 days.
- Server error reports: 30 days. Hashed IP addresses: 2 days.
- Purchase records: kept after account deletion, without any link to you, because we must keep records of payments for accounting, refunds and legal obligations.
Deleting your account
Open the game's Settings → Delete account. This permanently deletes your account and the data linked to it. See Delete your account for details, or to ask us by email.
Your rights
Depending on where you live (for example under the GDPR or US state privacy laws) you can ask to access, correct, delete or receive a copy of your data, object to or restrict its use, and withdraw consent at any time. Email [email protected]; we answer within 30 days. You can also complain to your local data protection authority. Our legal bases are: performing our agreement with you (running the game and delivering purchases), our legitimate interests (security, fixing bugs, improving the game), and your consent (personalised advertising where required).
Children
The game is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from them. If you believe a child has given us data, contact us and we will delete it.
Security
Data is sent encrypted (HTTPS) and stored with access controls. No system is perfectly secure, but we work to protect your data.
Changes
We may update this policy. The effective date above shows the latest version; significant changes will be announced in the game.
