Lolo's Farm Privacy Policy
Lolo's Farm is a single-player farming game made by Cogsprite, an independent game studio ("we"). It is made for players of all ages, including children. This policy explains what happens to your information when you play it.
In short
- The game runs on your phone and works offline. We have no server that stores your data, and there are no accounts of ours and no analytics.
- Your farm is saved only on your phone, unless you choose to sign in with Google Play Games to keep a copy in your own Google account.
- Ads only appear when you choose to watch a short video for a bonus. Every ad request is marked as directed to children: ads are never personalised, are rated G, and the advertising ID is not used.
- Nothing in the game is sold for money.
What stays on your device
Your progress (your farm, the farmer nickname and look you chose, your level, coins and items) and your settings are saved in the game's private storage on your device. The nickname is only used inside the game; we never receive it. Nobody else can read this data, including us.
Optional reward videos (Google AdMob)
The Android app uses the Google Mobile Ads SDK to show an optional short video you can choose to watch for a small bonus, for example finishing a timer, doubling the daily gift or a box of building materials. Ads never appear on their own: there are no banners and no ads between screens, and there are at most a few videos a day.
Because players of all ages enjoy the game, every ad request tells Google that the user is a child (child-directed treatment under COPPA) and under the age of consent (GDPR), and that only ads rated G may be shown. Google then serves contextual ads only: no personalised or interest-based ads and no remarketing. The app does not use the Android advertising ID.
To deliver and measure ads, and to prevent fraud, the Google Mobile Ads SDK processes limited technical information such as the device's IP address (from which an approximate location can be worked out), device type and operating system, the app version, and ad interactions (for example, that a video was shown). Google processes this information as described in How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services and Google's privacy policy. Google AdMob is certified for apps in the Google Play Families program. Where the law requires it, for example in the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom, you can review your ad privacy choices in the game under Settings > Privacy choices (ads).
The web version used for testing shows no ads.
Google Play Games sign-in and cloud save (optional)
You can play without signing in. If you choose to sign in with Google Play Games in Settings > Account, the game receives your Play Games player ID and display name so it can show who is signed in, and it keeps a copy of your game progress in your Google account (Google Play Games saved games), so your farm can follow you to a new phone. The copy holds the same game progress as the save on your device and nothing else. This is handled by Google under your Google account and Google's privacy policy. We don't run a server and we don't receive this data.
Purchases
The game has no purchases: everything is earned by playing. If we add a purchase in the future, it will be handled entirely by Google Play, we will never see your payment details, and this policy will be updated before that version is released.
Reminders (optional)
If you allow notifications, the game asks Android to show friendly reminders on your device, for example when your crops are ready. Android schedules them on your device; nothing is sent to us or to anyone else. You can turn reminders off in the game's Settings or block the game's notifications in your phone's settings at any time.
Sharing and backup files (optional)
If you tap Share, the game opens your phone's own share menu with a picture of your farm, and you choose the app and the person. If you make a backup file in Settings, the file is saved where you choose on your device. We don't see what you share or save.
Children
Lolo's Farm is made for players of all ages and follows the Google Play Families Policy. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. Ads are child-directed, non-personalised and rated G, from an ad network certified for families, signing in is optional, and there is nothing to buy. Parents who have questions can write to support@cogsprite.com.
Deleting your data
We don't keep your data on any server of ours, so there is nothing for us to hold on to. You can delete everything yourself:
- Your farm and settings on the phone: uninstall the game, or open your phone's Settings → Apps → Lolo's Farm → Storage → Clear storage. This deletes them immediately.
- The cloud save (only if you signed in): open the Google Play Games app → your profile → Settings → Delete Play Games account and data, or remove the game's data from your Google Account. This deletes the copy of your farm and your player ID for the game.
- Data processed by Google for ads: managed by Google under its own retention rules; you can manage your Google data at myaccount.google.com.
If you'd like help, or want us to confirm a request, email support@cogsprite.com with the subject "Delete my data" and we'll reply within 30 days. We keep no other data, so nothing is retained after these steps.
Security
All ad and Google Play Games traffic from the game is encrypted in transit (HTTPS). The game does not ask for any permission to read your files, contacts, camera, microphone or location.
Changes to this policy
If we change how the game handles data, we will update this page and its date before the change reaches players.
