Idle Legacy · KBWorks
This Privacy Policy describes how KBWorks ("we", "us", or "our") handles information when you use Idle Legacy ("the Application") on iOS or Android. By using the Application, you consent to the practices described below.
Information We Collect
Data collected automatically:
- Device IP address
- Application usage duration and session timing
- Mobile device operating system and device type
- Crash reports and error logs (via Firebase Crashlytics)
Data you provide (optional account):
Idle Legacy offers an optional account system for cloud save and PvP features. Creating an account requires:
- Email address
- Display name (chosen by you)
- Game progress data (era, civilization, prestige count, research state)
- PvP empire snapshot (power stats used for asynchronous leaderboard matching)
No account is required to play. Without an account, all progress is stored locally on your device only and we collect no personally identifiable information beyond the automatically collected data listed above.
We do not collect precise location data. We do not use Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies to process your personal data.
Online & Offline Play
The Application is designed to work fully offline. Core gameplay requires no internet connection. Online connectivity is used only for:
- Account creation, sign-in, and cloud save synchronization
- PvP Clash matchmaking and leaderboard updates
- Daily quest verification (when an account is active)
Advertising Identifiers
iOS (Apple IDFA): We request access to the Identifier for Advertisers (IDFA) via the App Tracking Transparency prompt at first launch. If you consent, ads may be personalized. You can change this any time via Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking.
Android (Google AAID): Google AdMob uses the Android Advertising ID (AAID) for advertising purposes. You can opt out via Settings → Google → Ads → Delete advertising ID.
In jurisdictions requiring consent (EEA, UK, Switzerland), the Application uses Google's User Messaging Platform (UMP) to collect consent before showing personalized ads.
Third-Party Services
The Application integrates with the following third-party services, each governed by their own privacy policies:
- Google Play Services
- Google AdMob
- Google Analytics for Firebase
- Firebase Crashlytics
- Firebase Authentication (for optional accounts)
- Cloud Firestore (for cloud save and PvP data)
- Apple App Store & StoreKit
- Sign in with Apple (optional account creation)
- Google Sign-In (optional account creation)
Only the minimum necessary data is transmitted to these services. We do not sell your data to third parties.
How We Use Your Data

- To sync your save data across devices (account users only)
- To power asynchronous PvP matching (account users only)

Opt-Out Rights

Data Retention
Account data is retained while your account is active and for a reasonable period thereafter. To request deletion of your account and all associated data, email kbsoft.support@gmail.com or use the Delete Account form. We process requests within 7 business days. Local device data (saves, settings) is removed when you uninstall the Application.
Children's Privacy
The Application is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly solicit or collect personal data from children under 13. If we become aware that such data has been collected, we will delete it promptly.
Security
We use industry-standard technical and organizational measures — including encrypted transit (TLS), Firebase Security Rules for Firestore, and Firebase Authentication — to protect your data. No method of internet transmission is 100% secure.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date. Continued use of the Application after changes are posted constitutes acceptance.
