1. About this policy
Bug Invasion: Garden TD is an iPhone game developed by Kim Larsson, Sweden. Kim Larsson is responsible for the personal data processing described here that is under the developer's control. Contact: k__larsson@hotmail.com.
The game uses Apple Game Center for online leaderboards and achievements, and Google AdMob for advertising. No separate game account is required. Apple and Google also process data under their own privacy policies, linked below.
Learn how Google uses personal data through its business products.
2. Game data stored on your device
The game stores progress, saved runs, Garden Coins, tower unlocks, loadouts, local high scores, daily challenge progress and preferences on your device. Local Game Center records include player identifiers, scores and achievement progress to manage pending submissions and avoid assigning them to the wrong player.
This data supports gameplay and saving your progress. It is not uploaded to a developer-operated game server. Apple device backups may include local app data, depending on your device and backup settings.
3. Apple Game Center
When you play while signed in to Game Center, the game submits eligible Best Wave results and achievement progress to Apple, associated with your Game Center profile. The app accesses your Game Center player identifier and display name to provide these features.
Your nickname and scores may be visible to other players through global leaderboards. Apple manages your Game Center account and its data. Game Center does not synchronize this game's Garden Coins or saved runs.
You can manage Game Center sign-in and privacy in your device settings. See Game Center & Privacy and Apple's Privacy Policy.
4. Google AdMob advertising
The game displays banner ads, optional rewarded ads for extra Sun or lives, and interstitial ads between games. Google and its advertising partners process data to deliver and measure ads, maintain their services and detect fraud.
Depending on your choices, region and device settings, this can include IP address and approximate location derived from it, device or app identifiers, ad views and interactions, and diagnostic or performance information. Advertising identifiers are subject to applicable iOS permissions. The game does not request precise GPS location.
Google's consent message identifies participating advertising partners and their purposes. Personalized advertising depends on the required consent and permissions. Declining consent may result in limited advertising or no available ad; it does not necessarily remove advertising.
Read Google's Privacy Policy and Google's explanation of partner data use.
5. Your advertising choices
Where required, Google's User Messaging Platform presents a privacy message before ads are requested. You can accept, decline or manage the available choices.
To review or withdraw advertising consent, open the game's Settings → Privacy → Advertising privacy choices. This option is displayed when Google's platform requires it for your region. Withdrawal changes future processing and does not affect the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal.
You can also manage available advertising and tracking permissions in iOS Settings. Choosing to watch a rewarded ad is separate from consenting to personalized advertising.
6. Support messages and legal bases
If you email support, your email address, message and any information you choose to send are used to respond and resolve your request. Please avoid sending sensitive information or account passwords. Email is handled through the developer's email provider, Microsoft.
Where European data protection law applies, necessary gameplay processing supports providing the game you request. Support correspondence is processed for the legitimate interest of assisting users. Consent is used for advertising personalization and device storage or access where required. Some processing may be necessary to comply with legal obligations. Apple and Google explain the legal bases for processing under their control in their own policies.
7. Retention, deletion and your rights
Local game data is retained while it remains in the app's storage. Use Settings → Reset All Progress to clear local gameplay progression. This does not erase all app preferences, pending Game Center records, or scores and achievements already stored by Apple. Deleting the app removes its local app data, although restoring a device backup may restore it.
Support correspondence is retained only as long as needed to handle the request and meet applicable legal requirements. Apple and Google apply their own retention periods to data they process. Contact them through their privacy resources for requests concerning their services.
Depending on applicable law, you may request access, correction, deletion, restriction or portability of personal data and object to certain processing. Contact the developer using the email below for data under the developer's control. You may also complain to your local data protection authority, including Sweden's IMY.
8. Providers, international processing and security
Recipients described in this policy include Apple, Google and advertising partners identified in the consent interface, Microsoft for email support, and GitHub for this website. Their processing may take place outside your country, including outside the EEA. Their privacy policies explain their locations and applicable transfer safeguards.
We use reasonable measures to protect information under our control. No electronic storage or transmission method can guarantee absolute security.
9. Children and parents
Parents and guardians can manage Game Center and app permissions using Apple's device settings and parental controls. If you believe a child has provided personal information directly to the developer, contact support so it can be reviewed and, where appropriate, deleted.
10. This website and policy changes
This page is hosted on GitHub Pages and does not embed advertising or analytics scripts. GitHub may process technical request information, including IP addresses, to provide and secure hosting. See GitHub's Privacy Statement.
