Salvage Station ("the app") is a single-player game by Synapse One. This policy explains what data the app handles.
Your game progress: your station, items, credits, level and settings are saved on your device. We never receive them (see Cloud save below for the optional Google backup). Uninstalling the app deletes them, and you can erase them at any time with Settings > Reset progress.
Cloud save (Google Play Games, optional): if you choose to sign in with Google Play Games (Settings > CLOUD SAVE, or the offer after stage 2), the app stores a copy of your game progress in your Google Play Games Saved Games, so you can restore it after reinstalling or on a new phone. This copy belongs to your Google account and is stored by Google; we run no server and never receive it. If you do not sign in, nothing is uploaded and your progress stays on your device only. Switching cloud save off in Settings stops further uploads; to delete the stored copy, use Google Play Games (Play Games app > Settings > Delete Play Games account and data). Resetting your progress in the app also replaces the cloud copy with the fresh game. Google's policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy
Advertising (Google AdMob): the app offers optional rewarded ads (for example, watch an ad for free energy). No ad is ever shown unless you choose to watch one. To serve and measure ads, Google's Mobile Ads SDK collects and processes data such as your device's advertising ID, IP address, approximate location derived from it, device and app information, and ad interactions. Google may use this data for personalized advertising where you allow it. In the European Economic Area, the UK and Switzerland, the app asks for your consent before any ad is requested (Google's consent form); you can change your choice at any time in Settings > AD PRIVACY CHOICES. You can also reset or delete your advertising ID, or opt out of personalized ads, in your Android settings. Google's policy: https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites
Purchases (Google Play): in-app purchases are processed by Google Play. We do not receive your payment details. The app only receives a confirmation from Google Play of which product was bought, so it can deliver it and restore one-time purchases on a new device.
Analytics: the app does not send analytics. A few anonymous gameplay events are recorded in memory on your device and never leave it. If a future version sends analytics, this policy will be updated before that version is released.
Data sharing: we do not sell your data. Data is shared only with Google as described above (AdMob for ads, Google Play for purchases, Google Play Games for the optional cloud save), encrypted in transit.
Children: the app is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect personal data from them. Ads are limited to content rated for general audiences.
Changes: if the app starts handling data in a new way, this policy will be updated before that version is released.
