Idle Archmage: Realms Unbound
Effective Date: 1 September 2026
Last Updated: 1 September 2026
Althea Group ("we," "us," "our") operates the mobile game Idle Archmage: Realms Unbound (the "Game"). This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, why we collect it, and the choices you have.
By using the Game, you agree to the collection and use of information as described in this policy.
1. Information We Collect
1.1 Automatically Collected Information
When you play the Game, we automatically collect:
- Device information: device model, operating system and version, unique device/advertising identifiers, language and region settings, time zone.
- Gameplay data: in-game progress, session length, purchases made, features used, and general play patterns (e.g. how far you've progressed, whether you've watched a rewarded ad).
- Crash and diagnostic data: crash logs and technical diagnostics if the Game encounters an error, used solely to fix bugs.
- Approximate location: derived from your IP address (country/region level only) — not precise GPS location, and not collected directly.
1.2 Account Information
- The Game creates an anonymous player account automatically the first time you open it. This does not require any personal information from you.
- If you choose to link your account with Sign in with Apple or Google Sign-In (entirely optional), we receive the identifiers and, if you permit it, the name/email associated with that provider — used solely to let you restore your progress and purchases on a new device.
- You may optionally set an in-game display name. Do not use your real name or any personally identifying information as your display name if you wish to remain anonymous within the Game.
1.3 Purchase Information
If you make an in-app purchase, our payment processing partner (RevenueCat, and the Apple App Store or Google Play billing system) processes the transaction. We receive confirmation that a purchase was made and which product was purchased — we do not receive or store your payment card details; those are handled entirely by Apple, Google, and their payment systems.
1.4 Advertising Information
The Game offers optional rewarded video ads (watched voluntarily in exchange for in-game rewards). Our advertising partner(s) may collect device identifiers and usage data to serve and measure these ads, and, where permitted by your device settings and applicable law, to personalize them. On iOS, this is subject to Apple's App Tracking Transparency framework, and you will be asked for your permission before any cross-app tracking occurs. You can decline this and still play the Game normally.
1.5 Information We Do Not Collect
- We do not require or request your real name, home address, or phone number.
- We do not allow user-generated content uploads (photos, custom images, etc.) — in-game profile icons are selected only from a fixed set of in-game assets.
- We do not include chat, messaging, or any other player-to-player communication features.
2. How We Use Information
We use the information described above to:
- Operate, maintain, and improve the Game.
- Save and restore your progress across sessions and devices.
- Process purchases and verify entitlements (e.g. confirming a one-time purchase remains active).
- Diagnose and fix bugs and crashes.
- Measure and improve the game's balance and pacing using aggregate, anonymized analytics.
- Serve and measure optional rewarded advertisements.
- Comply with legal obligations and enforce our Terms of Service.
We do not use your information for purposes unrelated to operating the Game.
3. Third-Party Services
The Game uses the following third-party services, each with its own privacy practices:
| Service | Purpose | Privacy Policy |
|---|---|---|
| Google Firebase (Authentication, Analytics, Crashlytics, Cloud Firestore) | Anonymous account creation, optional account linking, cloud save, gameplay analytics, crash reporting | firebase.google.com/support/privacy |
| RevenueCat | In-app purchase processing and entitlement management | revenuecat.com/privacy |
| Apple (Sign in with Apple, App Store) | Optional account linking; purchase processing on iOS | apple.com/legal/privacy |
| Google (Google Sign-In, Google Play) | Optional account linking; purchase processing on Android | policies.google.com/privacy |
| Advertising mediation partner(s) | Serving and measuring optional rewarded video ads | To be added once the ad mediation SDK is finalized |
We do not sell your personal information to third parties.
4. Data Retention
We retain your gameplay and account information for as long as your account is active, or as needed to provide the Game's features (such as cloud save). If you delete your account through the in-game Settings screen, we delete your associated save data and account identifiers within a reasonable time, except where we are required to retain certain records (e.g. purchase records) for legal, tax, or fraud-prevention purposes.
5. Your Choices and Rights
- Delete your account: You can delete your account and associated data at any time from Settings → Account → Delete Account within the Game.
- Restore purchases: You can restore prior purchases from Settings → Account → Restore Purchases.
- Unlink your account: You can sign out of a linked Apple or Google account at any time; this does not delete your progress, only the link to that external identity provider.
- Advertising choices: You can decline app tracking permission when prompted (iOS) or adjust ad personalization settings in your device's system settings (Android), and you can simply choose not to watch rewarded ads — none are required to play the Game.
Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights over your personal information, including the right to access, correct, or export your data, or to object to certain processing. To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details in Section 10 below.
6. Children's Privacy
The Game is not directed at children under the age of 13 (or the equivalent minimum age in your jurisdiction), and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under that age. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us using the details below and we will take steps to delete it.
7. Data Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures — including secure cloud infrastructure, encrypted data transmission, and restricted access rules on our cloud database — to protect your information. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
8. International Data Transfers
Our third-party service providers (Google Firebase, RevenueCat) may process and store data on servers located outside your country of residence, including in the United States. By using the Game, you consent to this transfer.
9. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we will update the "Last Updated" date above and, where required by law, provide additional notice. Continued use of the Game after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
