Privacy Policy
Idle Coffee Shop Tycoon for iPhone · Effective November 11, 2026
This policy explains what data Idle Coffee Shop Tycoon ("the game", "we") uses and why. The game is published by Nguyen Tuan Thanh. You can play without creating an account, and we do not run our own servers that receive your data.
Data stored on your device
Your progress (money, upgrades, shops, cards, settings) is saved on your iPhone. It never leaves the device except through the Apple services below.
Apple services
- Game Center. If you sign in, Apple handles your Game Center profile. The game sends leaderboard scores (customers served, shops opened) and achievement progress to Game Center.
- iCloud. If Game Center and iCloud Drive are on, a copy of your progress is saved in your own iCloud account so you can continue on another device. We cannot read it.
- In-app purchases. Payments are processed by Apple. We never see your payment details; the game only learns which item was bought.
Apple's use of this data is covered by Apple's Privacy Policy.
Advertising (Google AdMob)
The game offers optional rewarded video ads, shown only when you tap a button to watch one. They are served by Google AdMob, which may collect device information (such as the identifier for vendors, device model and OS version), approximate location derived from your IP address, ad interaction data and diagnostic data, to deliver ads, measure them and prevent fraud.
- The game does not ask for permission to track you across other companies' apps and websites, and does not access the advertising identifier (IDFA).
- In the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland, a consent form appears before any ad is requested. You can change your choice at any time with Privacy Settings in the game menu.
- Buying No Ads grants every ad reward without showing ads.
See how Google uses information from apps that use its services and Google's Privacy Policy.
Children
The game is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has provided personal information, contact us and we will help remove it.
Your choices
- Play without Game Center or iCloud: progress then stays only on your device.
- Reset your progress from the game menu (Restart), or delete the app to remove all data stored on the device.
- Limit ad personalization in iOS Settings and, where available, in the game's Privacy Settings.
Changes
If this policy changes, we will update this page and the effective date above.
