Privacy Policy
Last updated: October 29, 2026
This policy explains what data Tap & Build ("the game", "we") handles when you play it on Android, and what we do with it.
1. The short version
- There is no advertising in the game, free or paid, and no advertising SDKs.
- Your progress is saved on your device. If cloud save is enabled, a copy is stored so you can recover it.
- If you submit a score, the name you choose and your score are public.
- We collect basic usage and crash data to fix bugs, not to profile you.
2. Data we handle
Game progress. Coins, machines, upgrades and achievements are stored locally on your device. If you never use cloud save, that data never leaves your phone.
Cloud save. To restore your progress on another device, we store a copy linked to a device identifier generated by the game. It is not linked to an email address, a phone number or a real name.
Leaderboard. If you submit a score, we store the display name you typed and the score in our database (Supabase). Both are publicly visible to other players. Don't use your real name if you don't want it to be public.
Usage data. We use Firebase Analytics to record events such as sessions, screens opened and purchases started, along with device model, operating system version and app version. This is aggregated and is not used to build advertising profiles.
Crash reports. Firebase Crashlytics sends us stack traces and technical state when the app crashes, so we can find and fix the cause.
Purchases. Payments are processed by Google Play. We never receive your card details. We do receive a purchase token and the entitlement it grants, so we can unlock what you bought.
3. What we don't do
- We don't show ads, and there is no advertising SDK in the app.
- We don't sell, rent or trade personal data.
- We don't access your contacts, photos, precise location, microphone or camera.
- There is no account with email and password. We don't ask for your name.
4. Third parties
We rely on three providers:
- Google Play — processes payments. Privacy policy
- Google Firebase (Analytics and Crashlytics) — usage and crash data. Privacy information
- Supabase — leaderboard and cloud save storage. Privacy policy
We share data with them only to the extent needed to run those features.
5. How long we keep it
Local progress stays until you uninstall the game or clear its data. Cloud saves and leaderboard entries stay while the game remains installed or until you ask us to delete them. Crash reports are kept for a limited period and then discarded. Purchase records are kept as long as required by tax and accounting rules.
6. Deleting your data
You can request deletion at any time. The steps and what gets removed are described in Data deletion. We answer requests within 30 days.
7. Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, export or delete your data, or to object to certain processing. Write to support@tapandbuild.com and we'll handle it.
8. Children
The game is not directed to children under 13. We don't knowingly collect data from children. If you believe a child has provided data, write to us and we'll delete it.
9. Security and international transfers
Data travels over HTTPS. Our providers may process it on servers outside your country, under their own security commitments.
10. Changes
If this policy changes, we update the date at the top. Substantial changes will be announced in the app or on this page before they apply.
