Who this is from
Agriculture Farming Simulator is made by an independent developer. If you have a question about this policy, email ummutyahya@gmail.com.
What the game doesn't do
- It doesn't ask for your name, email, location, contacts or photos.
- It has no accounts or sign-up of its own, and no servers of its own.
- It doesn't use analytics tools of its own.
- It never shows ads you didn't ask for: every ad is optional and starts only when you tap to watch one for a reward.
- The developer doesn't sell your data. The only data shared with a third party is what Google AdMob collects to serve ads, described below.
What is stored, and where
On your iPhone
Your farm (fields, money, progress) and your game settings are saved on your device.
In your iCloud
If you're signed in to iCloud, a copy of your farm is kept in your private iCloud database through Apple's CloudKit, so it can sync between your devices. The game also reads Apple's server time from iCloud, to stop changes to the device clock from speeding up the farm. This data lives in your own iCloud account: the developer can't see or access it. Apple's handling of iCloud data is covered by Apple's privacy policy.
Game Center
If you're signed in to Game Center, the game sends your scores (such as net worth and weekly season points) and achievements to Apple's Game Center. Leaderboards show your Game Center nickname and scores to other players, according to your Game Center settings. The developer sees the same public leaderboards as everyone else and doesn't receive your Apple Account details. You can manage this under Settings → Game Center.
Level leaderboards
The in-game world and country level leaderboards keep one entry per iCloud account in the game's public iCloud (CloudKit) database: your Game Center nickname (or "Farmer" and a number if you don't use Game Center), your level and XP, and the country you play for (your device's region unless you pick another). Other players can see these entries. They contain no email, name or contact details.
Optional rewarded ads (Google AdMob)
You can choose to watch a short ad for an in-game reward, such as clearing the trees on a piece of land. Ads only play when you tap to watch one. They are served by Google AdMob, which may collect:
- your device's advertising identifier (IDFA), only if you allow tracking when the game asks;
- device information such as model, operating system and approximate location derived from your IP address;
- how you interact with the ads you watch.
Google uses this to show, measure and improve ads and to prevent fraud. If you're in the European Economic Area, the UK or Switzerland, the game asks for your consent before personalised ads are shown, and you can change your choice at any time in the game's settings (Privacy options). On iPhone you can deny or withdraw tracking under Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking; you'll still get ads, but they won't be personalised. See how Google uses data from apps that use its services and Google's privacy policy.
Notifications
Notifications (a harvest is ready, a storm is coming) are scheduled on your iPhone. Nothing is sent to a server to deliver them. You can turn them off under Settings → Notifications.
Deleting your data
In the game, open the settings (the gear button) and tap Delete Account. This permanently deletes your farm on the device and in your iCloud storage. Deleting the app also removes the copy on the device. You can also remove the iCloud copy under Settings → [your name] → iCloud → Manage Account Storage.
Children
The game isn't directed at children under 13 and doesn't knowingly collect personal information from them.
Changes to this policy
If the game adds something that handles data differently, for example in-app purchases, this page will be updated first and the date above will change. Any new data handling will be described here before it reaches the game.
