When you visit this website
This website uses optional Google Analytics 4 when configured. We load its tag only after you select Allow analytics. It measures page visits, game-page views, support clicks and, once available, Play Store link clicks. Google may process cookie identifiers, browser/device details, approximate region and interaction timestamps. Advertising personalization and Google signals are disabled. We do not send email contents, form entries or URL query strings in our custom events. Use Cookie settings to decline or withdraw consent; withdrawal stops future collection and removes accessible first-party Analytics cookies. Your choice is saved locally. The site has no account registration or mailing-list form. The little factory interaction runs in your browser; its batch count is not uploaded and resets when the page reloads.
Our hosting provider, Vercel, processes technical request information, such as IP address, browser information and the requested page, to deliver and protect the website. See Vercel’s privacy policy. Analytics cookies are used only with your permission; no website advertising cookies are requested. See Google’s privacy policy.
Your game progress
Your game balance, machine levels, unlocked recipes, goals, offline rewards and preferences are stored locally on your device. There is no player account or cloud-save service. Clearing app data or uninstalling the game can remove your progress. We cannot recover a local save that no longer exists.
The game uses your device’s locale to suggest a virtual-currency display. You can override it in Settings. This does not convert your balance, request location permission or use an IP lookup for currency selection.
Game analytics and crash reports
The Android game uses Google Firebase Analytics to understand play sessions, onboarding, upgrades, recipe unlocks, menu use and reward outcomes. It uses Firebase Crashlytics to identify crashes and technical errors. Collection is automatic in the current Android build; the game does not currently provide an analytics or crash-reporting switch.
These services may process app-instance or installation identifiers, device and operating-system information, app version, event timestamps, gameplay events and crash diagnostics. Google may process network information, including IP addresses, when providing its services. Our custom gameplay events do not request your name, email, precise location or player-entered text.
We use this information to fix problems and improve the game. Google processes it under its applicable terms and privacy practices. See Google’s privacy policy and Firebase’s privacy information.
Optional rewarded advertising
The game integrates Google AdMob for optional rewards such as temporary double income, bonus virtual cash and extra offline earnings. Current development builds use Google test ads. The site does not imply that live advertising is already enabled.
The advertising SDK can process device or app identifiers, IP address, diagnostic data and ad interactions to deliver ads, prevent fraud and measure performance. Reward events are also included in game analytics. You can ignore reward offers and continue ordinary play.
Before live advertising is enabled, applicable consent messaging and privacy controls must be configured and tested. This policy will be updated if our data practices change. Information about Google advertising is available at Google’s advertising privacy page.
When you contact us
If you email us, we receive your email address and the message or attachments you choose to send. We use these to respond to support, feedback and privacy requests. Do not send passwords, payment-card details or sensitive personal information.
Sharing, retention and security
We use the service providers described above to host the website, process support email, understand gameplay and diagnose errors. We do not operate a marketplace for your personal information. Service providers may process information in countries other than your own.
Local game data remains until it is reset or removed from the device. We retain support correspondence for as long as needed to handle the request and meet applicable obligations. Analytics and crash data follow the configured retention and deletion settings of the relevant Google services. We use reasonable safeguards, but no storage or transmission method is completely secure.
Your choices and requests
You can change local game preferences in Settings and remove local data through the game’s reset option or Android app settings. Removing local data does not automatically delete information already processed by service providers.
Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete or restrict processing of your personal information. Email us with your request. We may need enough information to verify and locate relevant records, and we may not be able to link anonymous gameplay records to you. You may also contact your local data-protection authority.
Children and parents
The game is still in development and its store audience settings are not finalized. We do not ask players for their name, email address or age in gameplay. If you believe a child has provided personal information to us, please contact us so we can investigate and take appropriate action.
Changes to this policy
We will update this page when our services or data practices change. The date at the top identifies the current version. Material changes will be communicated as required.
