01 / SCOPE
Which app this covers
This policy applies to Cataclysm: Bright Nights RPG, the independent Android edition published by C60 Limited. It covers the ad-supported build. The separate FOSS build excludes Google’s advertising and consent SDKs.
This Android edition is independently distributed. It is not operated by, affiliated with, or endorsed by the upstream PC maintainers. This page describes this Android app’s practices.
02 / LOCAL STORAGE
What stays on your device
The publisher does not run a game account system or a save-upload service for this edition. The app does not send saved worlds, character names, inventory contents or local reward-receipt IDs to Google or the publisher.
| Information | Why it is stored |
|---|---|
| Worlds, survivors and settings | Run the game and resume your progress. |
| Optional Quantum snapshots | Restore a validated saved world when you choose a backup rewind. |
| Reward receipts, clone-use records and cooldown times | Recover earned bonuses and apply the ad limits. These records stay outside rewound world saves. |
| Sleep-ad preference and foreground play time | Remember your choice and enforce the interval between sleep ads. |
| Privacy-choice records managed by UMP | Remember and communicate the advertising privacy choices that apply to your session. |
Android cloud backup is disabled for the app. You can remove local data using Android’s app-storage controls. Uninstalling normally removes it, although Android may offer an option to retain app data for a later reinstall.
03 / ADVERTISING SERVICES
What Google may process
The ad-supported build uses Google Mobile Ads (AdMob) and Google User Messaging Platform (UMP). UMP contacts Google when checking which privacy choices apply, even if you do not watch an ad. These checks can involve app and device information and your network address.
Depending on your choices and SDK operation, Google and advertising partners may receive:
- Your IP address, which can indicate an approximate geographic area.
- Advertising or app-set identifiers and, where applicable, identifiers associated with device accounts.
- Interaction events such as opening the app, taps or viewing a video.
- Startup, responsiveness, energy-use and other app/SDK diagnostic information.
Google uses advertising information for ad delivery and measurement, analysis and fraud prevention. Google reports that its Mobile Ads SDK transfers data using TLS encryption. Its handling of data depends on its services, your choices and applicable requirements.
The game does not request precise-location, camera, microphone, contact or broad-storage access. It does not add a separate analytics SDK. Google’s advertising SDK has its own measurement and diagnostic functions.
04 / YOUR CONTROLS
Manage consent and sleep ads
Use this menu to reopen applicable consent or opt-out choices and to turn sleep-break ads off. Where required, UMP presents regional privacy messages, including European consent and US state privacy choices. Advertising partners and purposes are shown in the applicable form.
The app refreshes consent information each launch. A successful privacy check/form flow and UMP permission are both required before the app initializes its ad service or requests ads. If this check fails, ads stay paused and normal gameplay remains available.
Declining personalized advertising may still allow limited or contextual advertising, depending on Google’s services and applicable choices. You can separately disable sleep ads in the game. Android’s advertising controls can also let you reset or delete an advertising ID or adjust ad-related settings; available controls vary by Android version.
05 / ADS & REWARDS
When an ad can appear
There are no banner ads, no app-open ads and no forced death ads.
- Quantum Clone | optional rewarded ad. When Quantum backups are enabled and a valid snapshot exists, you may choose to watch an ad for a full-world rewind. Rewards are limited to once per survivor and once per rolling 24 hours.
- Supply Drop | optional rewarded ad. During limited-point custom character creation, you may choose an ad for three additional starting trait points in that draft.
- Safe Sleep | optional setting. A confirmed sleep of at least two in-game hours in a bed, without detected nearby threats or tile danger, can show an interstitial after at least 30 minutes of foreground in-game play since any shown ad. Driving, pain or death prevent this placement. You can turn these ads off.
The game saves the safe-sleep boundary before any ad UI takes over. An ad that fails to load or show never prevents normal play. Rewards are granted only after Google’s earned-reward callback. Their local receipts help recover earned benefits if the process stops. Ad availability and serving are controlled by Google.
No local reward server account is created, and local character or receipt identifiers are not attached to ad requests as custom targeting or verification data.
06 / RETENTION
Removing data and making requests
Local game files, reward records and app preferences remain in private app storage until removed. Clearing Android app storage removes that local copy. The publisher cannot recover or delete a save on your device remotely because this build does not upload it.
Google and its partners control retention of data they receive under their own policies and your choices. Removing the game does not necessarily delete information already held by those services. Use the privacy controls in the game, Android and Google’s services to manage those choices, and contact the publisher with questions about this app.
07 / AUDIENCE & EXTERNAL SERVICES
Audience, links and this page
This post-apocalyptic survival game includes mature themes and is not designed for children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information through this app’s advertising services, contact the publisher and the relevant service using their privacy channels.
The app has no in-app purchase or login system. Following an advertisement or opening a source, license or privacy link can take you to another service, whose privacy practices apply to that visit.
This policy page does not include advertising, analytics scripts or forms in its content. Its hosting provider may process technical request information, such as an IP address and browser details, to deliver and protect the page.
