PRIVACY POLICY
SALVAGE JUNKIES · LAST UPDATED OCTOBER 2026
THE SHORT VERSION
The game itself collects nothing. Everything it stores stays on your device. It shows ads served by Google AdMob and offers optional purchases through Google Play, and those services process some data under their own policies.
WHAT WE COLLECT OURSELVES
Nothing. The game has no accounts, no analytics, no tracking, and no servers run by us that receive your data.
WHAT STAYS ON YOUR DEVICE
Save data. Your game progress is stored in the app's local storage on your device. It never leaves your phone. It is deleted when you uninstall the app (or when you use the in-game save wipe option).
Settings. Sound, haptics, and other options are stored locally the same way.
ADVERTISING (GOOGLE ADMOB)
The app shows ads provided by Google AdMob: banner, interstitial, and rewarded ads. To serve ads, Google may process data such as your device's advertising ID, IP address, device information, and ad interactions. This data is processed by Google under Google's own policies; we do not see or store it.
Ads personalization is governed by your device settings and, where required (EEA/UK), by a consent prompt shown when the app first runs. You can reset or disable your advertising ID in your Android settings.
Google's policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy
IN-APP PURCHASES
Optional purchases are processed by Google Play. We never see or store your payment details; Google handles the entire transaction. The app only receives confirmation that a purchase succeeded so it can grant the item.
PERMISSIONS AND WHY THEY EXIST
Microphone (RECORD_AUDIO). One optional gameplay mechanic asks you to blow into the microphone. The app analyzes live microphone volume in real time to drive that mechanic. Audio is processed on-device only; it is never recorded, stored, or transmitted, and the microphone is not used for any other purpose.
Audio settings (MODIFY_AUDIO_SETTINGS). Used so game audio behaves correctly.
Internet (INTERNET). Required to load ads and verify purchases.
Vibration. Haptic feedback only: it carries gameplay feedback, not data.
CHILDREN
Salvage Junkies is designed to be enjoyed by players of all ages. The app itself collects no personal information from anyone, including children, and there are no social features or chat. Ads are served by Google AdMob; ads shown to users identified as children are subject to Google's protections for children.
CHANGES TO THIS POLICY
If this policy ever changes, the updated version will be posted at this URL with a new effective date.
