Privacy Policy

Ants Marching is a puzzle game. We collect the minimum needed to run the game: your puzzle progress, optional account email, and — on the mobile apps — advertising and purchase identifiers. We never sell your data, and we don't compare you to other players.

If you play without signing in, your progress (solved puzzles, gold, pack unlocks, settings) is stored only on your device. Clearing the app's data deletes it permanently.

You can optionally create an account with an email address or Google sign-in. When you do, your progress is synced to our servers so it follows you between devices, and any progress already on your device is imported. We store your email address, sign-in method, and gameplay progress.

When you solve a puzzle we record the solve, your time, and gold earned or spent. We also count puzzle starts, crashes, and hints in aggregate so we can spot puzzles that are too easy, too hard, or broken. Device-only activity is recorded without an email or public player profile. These statistics are used to improve the game — we don't publish leaderboards or compare individual players.

The free version of the mobile app shows rewarded video ads, provided by Google AdMob. Watching an ad is always your choice (for example, to open a picnic basket). AdMob may use the device's advertising ID to measure and serve ads. You can reset or limit that ID in your device's settings. See Google's privacy policy at policies.google.com/privacy.

The optional one-time "Remove Ads" purchase is processed by the app store (Google Play or Apple App Store) and managed with RevenueCat. We receive a purchase record and an anonymous app user ID so we can unlock ad-free play; we never see your payment card details. See RevenueCat's privacy policy at revenuecat.com/privacy.

• We don't sell or rent your personal information.
• We don't show third-party banner ads or interstitials you didn't ask for.
• We don't track your location, contacts, or files.
• We don't use your puzzle history to profile you for anything outside the game.

Ants Marching is a general-audience puzzle game. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 beyond the gameplay data described above; a child can play fully without an account.

Email antsmarching.support@gmail.com from your sign-in address and we'll delete your account and stored progress. Device-only progress can be removed by clearing the app's data.

If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted at https://antsmarching.app/privacy with a new date. Questions? Email antsmarching.support@gmail.com.
