NeuronIdle is a free idle game developed by Thendril (the "Developer"). This policy describes what data the NeuronIdle Android application and the neuronidle.com website collect, how it is used, and your rights.
1. Data Collection
Local-first by default. The game stores all gameplay progress locally on your device. No account or registration is required to play.
Optional online features (Google Play Games sign-in, leaderboards, achievements sync, cloud save, in-app purchases) are opt-in. When you enable them, the following data is processed:
- Google account identifier — for sign-in and to associate cloud saves with your account
- Game progress data — synced to Google Play Games Services for cross-device continuity
- Public display name — shown on leaderboards (provided by Google Play Games)
You can disable online features at any time in the game's Settings screen and continue playing offline.
2. Advertisements
NeuronIdle displays optional rewarded advertisements via Google AdMob. Watching ads is never required and only used to claim in-game rewards.
AdMob may collect: an advertising identifier, IP address, device information, and ad interactions. Ad personalization can be controlled in your device's privacy settings. See Google's Privacy Policy for full details.
3. In-App Purchases
The game offers optional in-app purchases of Neurons (Nu), the premium currency. Purchases are processed exclusively through Google Play Billing.
NeuronIdle does not store payment information. All transactions are handled by Google Play according to its Terms of Service. In-app purchases are not required for full enjoyment of the game.
4. Third-Party Services
NeuronIdle minimises data collection. The integrated services are:
- Google AdMob — rewarded video ads (when watched)
- Google Play Services — billing for in-app purchases
- Google Play Games Services — sign-in, leaderboards, achievements, and cloud save (opt-in)
- Google Cloud / Firebase (anti-cheat L3) — server validation for online competitive features (when implemented; not yet active)
5. Data Storage and Security
Local game data is stored in your device's protected app storage and is removed when you uninstall the game.
Online data (cloud saves, leaderboards) is stored by Google Play Games Services subject to Google's infrastructure and security. Cloud saves are signed with HMAC-SHA256 to detect tampering. Online data handling complies with applicable data protection laws including the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
