The Lost Crown Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 20, 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to The Lost Crown. This Privacy Policy explains how information is collected, used, stored, and protected when you use the iOS game.

2. Information and Data Handling

2.1 Local Game Data

The app stores gameplay data locally on your device, including level progress, settings, privacy consent status, and related preferences. We do not operate an account system for this app, and we do not upload your local game progress to our own servers.

2.2 In-App Purchase Data

The app offers a non-consumable purchase that unlocks additional levels. Payments, purchase verification, and restoration are handled by Apple through StoreKit. The app does not receive or store payment card details and does not upload purchase receipts to our own servers. A verified unlock status is cached locally on your device so purchased levels remain available.

2.3 Analytics, Advertising, and Tracking

The current version does not display third-party advertising, does not track users across apps or websites, and does not collect analytics, advertising data, device identifiers, or crash reports. Although the Firebase Analytics SDK may be present in the app, analytics collection is disabled and the app does not send analytics events to Firebase.

2.4 Information You Send to Support

If you contact us by email, we receive the information you choose to provide, such as your email address, device model, iOS version, app version, screenshots, and issue description.

5. Data Storage and Security

5.1 Local Storage

Game progress, settings, privacy consent status, and the cached level-unlock status are stored in the app sandbox on your device. Other apps cannot access this data through normal iOS sandbox rules.

5.2 Transmission and Third-Party Storage

The app does not transmit gameplay, advertising, analytics, device identifier, or crash data to our servers or to Google. If you contact support, the information you choose to send is transmitted through your email provider.

5.3 Backups

If you use iCloud or computer backups, local app data may be included in those backups. These backups are managed by Apple and are subject to Apple's privacy policy and your device settings.

6. Your Choices

  • You can delete local game data by deleting the app from your device.
  • You can manage App Store purchases through your Apple account and restore purchases from the app.
  • You can contact us to request deletion of support emails you sent to us.

7. Children's Privacy

The app is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information to us through a support request, please contact us so we can delete it.

8. Data Transfers

The app does not transfer analytics or advertising data internationally. Information you voluntarily send in a support email may be processed by your email provider and ours according to their respective policies.

9. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make significant changes, we will update this page and revise the "Last updated" date above. Continued use of the app means you accept the updated Privacy Policy.
