Privacy Policy — Squish Forts

Squish Forts is a clay fort-smashing game for Android: build forts, slingshot clay balls and splat bombs, and squish the king. This policy explains what information the game uses, why, who it is shared with, and the choices you have. The game needs no account, and nothing in it requires your contacts, camera, microphone, photos or precise location.

1. Summary

• You can play the whole game without an account or sign-in.
• Your progress (levels, stars, coins, upgrades and settings) is saved only on your own device.
• We do not collect your name, email address, phone number or precise location.
• There are no in-app purchases. Coins are earned by playing, or by watching an optional rewarded video ad.
• Ads, when switched on, are served by Google AdMob, which may use your device's advertising ID as described below.
• We do not sell personal information.

2. Information the Game Stores on Your Device

Squish Forts keeps a small save file on your device containing: the levels you have unlocked, the stars you earned, your coin balance, workshop upgrade levels, your daily challenge progress, and sound or music settings. This file never leaves your device through our code, and it is removed when you uninstall the game or clear its storage in Android settings.

3. Information We Collect

We (Bryn Flow) do not run an account system and do not receive a copy of your save file. We do not collect personal information such as your name, email address, contacts, photos or location. If you contact us by email, we receive your email address and message so that we can reply.

4. Advertising (Google AdMob)

Squish Forts is free to play. When ads are enabled, the game shows optional rewarded video ads through Google AdMob — for example, to earn bonus coins or an extra shot. Ads are only shown when you choose to watch one. To serve and measure ads, Google AdMob and its partners may collect and use information such as your device's advertising ID, IP address, device and operating-system details, app version and ad interaction data, under Google's own privacy policy (policies.google.com/privacy).

You can reset your advertising ID or opt out of ad personalisation at any time in Android Settings → Privacy → Ads. Choosing to opt out does not remove ads, but they will no longer be personalised. We do not pay for, or sell, any personal data.

5. In-App Purchases

There are none. Every coin, upgrade and level in Squish Forts can be unlocked for free through play.

6. Fort Wars and Daily Splat

In the current version, the opponent forts in Fort Wars and the Daily Splat challenge are generated on your device, and no fort designs or personal data are uploaded. If we later add online sharing of fort layouts, it will only involve anonymous fort layouts and a display name that you choose, we will tell you before it starts, and we will update this policy before that feature is released.

7. Permissions

• Internet and network state — used to load and show ads when they are enabled.
• Advertising ID (Google Play services) — used by Google AdMob for ad delivery and measurement; you can reset or disable it in Android settings.
• The game does not request access to your contacts, camera, microphone, photos, files or location.

8. How We Use Information

Saved progress is used only to run the game on your device. Information handled by AdMob is used to deliver, limit and measure ads and to prevent fraud. We do not use any information for profiling or sell it to anyone.

9. Third-Party Services

• Google AdMob / Google Mobile Ads SDK — advertising. Privacy policy: Google Privacy Policy.
• Google Play services — app distribution, updates and the advertising ID.

10. Children

Squish Forts is a casual game for a general audience and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us personal information, contact us and we will delete it. Where required, ads can be configured as non-personalised.

11. Data Retention and Deletion

All game data is stored on your device. To delete it, uninstall Squish Forts or choose Settings → Apps → Squish Forts → Storage → Clear data. Because we do not hold a copy of your save file, there is no server-side account to delete. For anything held by Google (such as advertising data), use your Google Account's privacy controls.

12. Security

The save file lives in the game's private storage on your device, which Android protects from other apps. We do not transmit it. Please note that no method of electronic storage is 100% secure.

13. International Users

Squish Forts is available worldwide. Ads are provided by Google, which may process information in countries other than your own under Google's own safeguards.

14. Your Rights

Depending on where you live (for example the EU/UK under GDPR, or California under CCPA), you may have the right to access, correct or delete personal information, and to opt out of its sale or sharing. We do not sell personal information and do not hold a profile of you. To make a request about information that we hold (such as your support emails), contact us below.

15. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy when the game changes. The effective date above shows the latest version, and we will update it here before the changes take effect.
