This Privacy Policy explains how Quadratic Studios handles information in connection with the mobile game Tarmac Tycoon. We built Tarmac Tycoon to respect your privacy: there is no account, we never ask for your name or email, and we do not track you across other apps or websites.
1. Information we collect
Information you provide directly: None required. The game has no user accounts or logins. Any in-game names you type (such as your airline name or CEO name) are stored only on your device as part of your saved game and are not transmitted to us.
Information collected automatically by third parties: The game shows advertising through Google AdMob and offers optional purchases through Apple. These providers may automatically collect limited technical information to deliver and measure their services, which may include:
- Device identifiers (such as an advertising identifier) and general device information (device model, operating system version, language, coarse region);
- Ad interaction and usage data (such as ads shown or tapped);
- Diagnostics (such as crash and performance data).
We have configured AdMob to serve non-personalized ads. The game does not present an App Tracking Transparency prompt and does not use data to track you across other companies' apps or websites.
Purchases: In-app purchases are processed by Apple through the App Store. We do not receive or store your payment card details — only confirmation that a purchase completed, so we can unlock the corresponding content.
Saved game data: Your progress, settings, and entitlements are stored locally on your device (and may be included in your device backups via Apple, under Apple's control).
2. How we use information
We and our service providers use the limited information above to operate and display the game, show and measure advertising (non-personalized), process and restore in-app purchases, and diagnose crashes to improve stability. We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use it for cross-app or cross-site tracking.
3. Advertising
The game uses Google AdMob to show ads. Players who buy the Founder's Edition (or are otherwise ad-free) will not see ads. Ads are served on a non-personalized basis. For details on how Google handles ad data, see the Google Privacy Policy and How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services.
4. Third-party services
The game relies on the following services, each governed by its own privacy policy:
- Google AdMob — advertising
- Apple App Store / StoreKit — app distribution and in-app purchases
We choose providers we believe handle data responsibly and configure them to minimize data use (for example, non-personalized ads).
5. Sharing of information
We do not sell personal information. Information may be shared only with the service providers above (to provide their services), if required by law or valid legal process, or in connection with a merger or sale of assets (in which case we will continue to protect your information consistent with this Policy).
6. Data retention
We do not maintain user accounts and do not store your personal information on our own servers. Saved game data stays on your device until you delete the game or clear its data. Information collected by our service providers is retained per their respective policies.
7. Children's privacy
Tarmac Tycoon is intended for a general audience and is rated 12+. It is not directed to children under 13 (or the equivalent minimum age in your country), and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information, please contact us and we will take appropriate steps.
8. Your privacy rights
Depending on where you live (for example, the EEA/UK under GDPR, or California under the CCPA/CPRA), you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict processing of your personal information, and to opt out of certain data uses. Because the game does not collect or store personal information on our servers and does not track you, most requests can be handled directly on your device:
- Limit ad-related data: on iOS, adjust Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking and Apple Advertising, where you can reset or limit your advertising identifier.
- Delete your data: deleting the game removes your locally stored saved data.
To exercise any applicable right, or ask a question, contact us below. We will respond consistent with applicable law.
9. International users
The game is operated from the United States. Our service providers may process information in the United States and other countries whose data-protection laws may differ from those in your country.
10. Security
We take reasonable measures, and rely on the security practices of Apple and Google, to protect information. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
11. "Do Not Track" and tracking
The game does not track users across other companies' apps or websites and does not respond to browser "Do Not Track" signals (it is a native app, not a website). We serve non-personalized ads and do not present an App Tracking Transparency prompt.
12. Changes to this Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the effective date above and post the updated version at this URL. Your continued use of the game after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised Policy.
