Relic Revival (the “App”) is a relaxing restoration game in which you wipe grime from procedurally generated antiques, uncover what they really are, and build a museum. It is published by Carthage Studio (the “Developer”, “we”, “us”). Contact: apps.contact.supports@gmail.com.
This policy explains, in plain language, what data the App handles and why.
| Category | What it is | Why | Where it lives |
|---|---|---|---|
| Game progress | Your coins, the relics you have revealed, your museum sets, your hired restorers and their levels, idle timestamps, your daily-reward streak, and your settings (sound, haptics, language, daily reminder). | To save your progress between sessions. | On your device only. |
| Purchase records | A receipt confirming the “Remove Ads” purchase. | To unlock what you paid for. | Validated by Google Play. We store only a yes/no flag on your device. |
| Advertising identifier | Your device's advertising ID. | So our ad partner (Google AdMob) can serve and measure ads. | Collected by and shared with Google AdMob. We never receive or store it ourselves. |
| App interactions & diagnostics | Ad interactions, crash and performance diagnostics, and device/network information, gathered automatically by the Google Mobile Ads SDK. | To serve ads, measure them, and prevent fraud. | Sent to and shared with Google. We never receive or store it ourselves. |
We do not collect: your name, email address, phone number, contacts, SMS messages, calendar, precise location, microphone audio, or photos. The App has no sign-up and no login, and works fully offline apart from serving ads and processing the optional purchase.
The App may show interstitial ads (only after you finish appraising a relic, never during a wipe) and rewarded ads (only when you choose to watch one — for example to double an appraisal, or to double your offline earnings). It shows no banner ads and no ads on launch or exit.
In the European Economic Area, the UK and Switzerland, and in US states where required, we show a consent prompt (Google's User Messaging Platform) before any ad is requested. You can change or withdraw that choice at any time from Settings → Privacy options inside the App. You can also disable ad personalisation at the OS level (Android: Settings → Google → Ads), or remove forced ads via the in-app purchase.
The App can show an optional local daily reminder. Notifications are scheduled entirely on your device — no data leaves it, and there is no push server and no device token. You can turn them off at any time in the App's settings or your device settings.
If you tap Share, the App renders an image on your device and hands it to your system share sheet. Nothing is uploaded to us. Where it then goes is governed by the app you choose to share into.
The App is intended for a general audience aged 13 and over. It is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from them. Ads are requested with settings appropriate for a general audience.
Your progress and settings live on your device and are removed when you uninstall the App or clear its data. We hold no server-side copy, so there is nothing for us to delete on our side. For any request, email apps.contact.supports@gmail.com; we action verified requests within 30 days.
If you are in the EU/UK (GDPR) or California (CCPA/CPRA), you have the right to access, delete, and object to processing of your data, and to withdraw consent at any time (Settings → Privacy options). We do not sell personal information.
Network requests use HTTPS. Purchases are validated by Google Play directly — we never see your payment method.
If we materially change this policy we will update the date above and, where appropriate, notify you in the App.
