Aion built Idle Space Explorer (“the app”) as a free, ad-supported game for Android. This page explains what information is involved when you use the app, who handles it, and the choices you have. It applies to Idle Space Explorer 2.0 and later versions.
In short: the app has no accounts and does not ask you for any personal information. Your game progress stays on your device and is never sent to me. The app shows ads from Google, and Google may process some information about your device to show those ads.
Your progress (your expedition, ship, upgrades and resources) is saved only in the app’s private storage on your device. The app has no user accounts, no cloud save and no developer server, and it does not send your game data to me or to anyone else. I cannot see, access or restore your game data.
If you updated from an earlier version of the app, the previous version’s progress may remain in the app’s private storage on your device. It is not used by version 2.0 and is never transmitted.
The app shows a banner ad provided by Google AdMob, using the Google Mobile Ads SDK. The app requests non-personalised ads. Even so, Google may collect and use information from your device to deliver ads, limit how often you see the same ad, measure ad performance, and detect and prevent fraud and abuse. Depending on your device and your choices, this may include:
This information is collected and processed by Google, not by me. I do not receive information that identifies you; I only see aggregated advertising reports in my AdMob account. Google handles this information under its own policies:
Where you have agreed through Google’s consent message, Google and its certified advertising partners may also store or access information on your device for these purposes.
The app uses Google’s User Messaging Platform (UMP) to manage your privacy choices for advertising. Each time the app starts, UMP determines whether a privacy message is required, for example in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland. If one is required and you have not yet made your choices, Google’s message is shown; otherwise your saved choices are used. The app requests ads only when the consent system indicates that ads are permitted. Where US state privacy laws apply, Google’s message may offer you a choice to opt out of certain uses of your information for advertising.
You can review or change your choices at any time from the app’s Privacy menu (the privacy icon at the top of the game screen) by selecting Privacy options. This option appears when it applies in your region.
If the app cannot obtain the consent information it needs (for example when you are offline), it shows no ads. The game works the same with or without ads.
You can also reset or delete your device’s advertising ID in your Android settings (usually under Settings > Privacy > Ads, or Settings > Google > Ads), and manage your Google ad settings at My Ad Center.
The app does not ask for your name, email address, phone number or any other contact details, and it does not access your precise location, contacts, photos, files, camera or microphone. The app does not include analytics or crash-reporting services. Apart from the advertising and consent features described above, the game itself does not connect to the internet.
The app’s permissions come from the Google Mobile Ads SDK and the supporting Android libraries it uses. They include internet and network-state access and access to the advertising ID and Android’s ad-related services, as well as technical permissions declared by those libraries for their own background work (such as keeping the device awake briefly or running a short background task). The app does not request access to your precise location, contacts, camera, microphone, external storage or phone.
When you open this policy from the app, it is loaded from this website, which is hosted by GitHub Pages. GitHub may record standard technical information about the request, such as your IP address, as described in the GitHub Privacy Statement. This website does not set its own cookies.
Your game data is kept in the app’s private storage, which other apps cannot normally read. Communication between the Google Mobile Ads SDK and Google is handled by Google. No method of electronic storage or transmission is completely secure, so I cannot guarantee absolute security.
This policy and the app contain links to websites that I do not operate, including Google’s. I am not responsible for their content or privacy practices, so please review their privacy policies.
The app is not directed at children under the age of 13, and I do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. Because I do not collect personal information through the app, I do not hold such information. If you are a parent or guardian and have a concern about your child’s use of the app, please contact me.
I may update this privacy policy from time to time, for example when the app changes. Any changes will be posted on this page with a new effective date, so please review it periodically.
This policy is effective as of 2026-11-03. Previous version: 2023-08-25.
If you have any questions or suggestions about this privacy policy, please contact me at dfrancesconi12@gmail.com.
This privacy policy was originally based on a template from privacypolicytemplate.net and the App Privacy Policy Generator, and has since been revised.
