Egg Nest Privacy Policy
# Privacy Policy
**Service**: Egg Nest (알 키우기)
**Effective date**: September 21, 2026
**Last updated**: September 21, 2026
This policy describes how the Egg Nest app ("this app") collects, uses and stores information. By installing and using this app, you are considered to have agreed to this policy.
---
## 1. Information this app collects or transmits
This app **does not collect any directly identifying personal information** such as your name, email address, phone number or postal address. There is no sign-up and no login.
The following information may be stored **locally on your device** or processed by **third parties (Google) for advertising and payments**.
### 1.1 Stored on your device only (never transmitted)
The following game progress is stored on your device through `SharedPreferences`:
- Resources (dew, stardust, candy) and the creatures in your nest with their growth state
- Collection records (species you have met), prestige count and permanent upgrade levels
- Cumulative statistics (hatches, feeds, evolutions, releases and so on)
- Daily quest and attendance progress, and how many rewarded ads you have used today
- Products you have purchased and the order IDs already granted (kept so one payment is never granted twice)
- App settings (sound on/off)
This information is **never sent to any server** and is deleted together with the app. You can delete it at any time from "More → Start over" inside the app.
### 1.2 Advertising by a third party (Google AdMob)
To keep the app free, this app shows rewarded ads through the **Google AdMob** SDK. A rewarded ad plays only when you tap "Watch ad" yourself; there are no banner ads and no interstitials that appear on their own. AdMob may automatically collect and process the following to serve relevant ads and to prevent click fraud:
- **Advertising ID** (resettable on your device)
- IP address (for approximate location)
- Device information (model, OS version, screen size and so on)
- Ad impression and click records
The developer of this app neither collects nor stores that information; **Google processes it under its own privacy policy**. Users in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland are shown Google's consent form (UMP) on first launch, and can change that choice at any time from "More → Ad consent settings" in the app.
- Google advertising policy: https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads
- AdMob data processing: https://support.google.com/admob/answer/6128543
To reset your advertising ID or opt out of personalized ads:
- **Android**: Settings → Google → Ads → "Reset advertising ID" or "Opt out of Ads Personalization"
### 1.3 Payments by a third party (Google Play)
Purchases in this app are processed by **Google Play in-app billing**. Payment details (such as card numbers) are handled by Google Play; **this app never receives or stores them.** What the app keeps on the device is only the purchased product and its order ID (section 1.1), so that the same payment is never granted twice. No receipt is sent to a developer server.
- Google Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy
---
## 2. Permissions this app uses
### Internet permission (`android.permission.INTERNET`)
- Loading ads
- In-app billing (`com.android.vending.BILLING`)
- Checking for Play Store updates (`in_app_update`)
- Opening the Play Store listing for a review (`in_app_review`)
This app **does not request sensitive permissions** such as camera, microphone, contacts, location or storage. The game screen is a web page bundled inside the app; it does not open external websites or track your browsing.
---
## 3. Retention period
This app collects no personal information itself. The local data in section 1.1 stays on your device **until you delete the app or tap "Start over"**.
Information processed by AdMob and Google Play is retained according to Google's own policies.
---
## 4. Disclosure to third parties
This app **does not separately provide your personal information to third parties.** Information may be processed by Google while ads are shown (1.2) and while payments are processed (1.3), which is the standard behaviour of those SDKs.
---
## 5. Your rights
- **Reset your data**: "More → Start over" in the app deletes all game progress immediately
- **Delete the app**: removing the app from your device deletes everything in section 1.1
- **Opt out of personalized ads**: reset your advertising ID or opt out in system settings as described in section 2; where the consent form applies, change your choice in "More → Ad consent settings"
---
## 6. Children's privacy
This app does not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 14 (Korean threshold), nor from children under the age of 13 (COPPA). AdMob ads here are served to a general audience, and the app is not designed for children. Parental consent and guidance are recommended for users under 14.
