What the game does not collect
- No account, sign-in, name, email or phone number.
- No user-generated content, chat or messaging.
- No contacts, photos, files, precise location or microphone access.
- No data is sold.
What is collected and why
| Data | Source | Purpose | Shared with |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gameplay events (level started or completed, hearts lost, hints used, daily streak) | the game | Balance levels, fix bugs, measure retention | Firebase Analytics, GameAnalytics |
| Device and app info (model, OS version, language, app version, crash logs) | the game and SDKs | Stability and compatibility | Firebase, GameAnalytics, ad networks |
| Advertising identifier (IDFA on iOS with your permission, GAID on Android unless you opt out) | the device | Show and measure ads, limit frequency | AppLovin MAX, Google AdMob and their mediated networks |
| Purchase receipts (no card numbers) | Apple App Store or Google Play | Deliver and restore purchases | Apple or Google only |
| Approximate location derived from IP address | ad networks | Regional ad delivery and legal compliance | ad networks |
Progress, hints and streaks are stored on your device. Removing the app deletes them.
Advertising
The free version shows interstitial ads after some levels and offers rewarded videos you can choose to watch. Ads are served through AppLovin MAX and Google AdMob with their partner networks. "Remove Ads" turns off interstitials permanently on that store account; rewarded videos stay available by choice.
Your choices
- iOS: the App Tracking Transparency prompt lets you deny tracking. The game works the same either way.
- Android: reset or delete your advertising ID in system settings.
- EEA and UK: the consent dialog shown at first launch (Google UMP) lets you accept or refuse personalised ads, and you can reopen it from the settings screen.
- Email hello@lanterngarden.app to ask what we hold about your device identifier or to have it deleted. Requests are answered within 30 days.
Children
Lantern Garden is rated for everyone but is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided data, contact us and we will delete it.
