Who we are

Idle Cosmic Chaos ("the game") is developed and published by Marooned Interactive, an individual developer based in India ("we", "us"). This policy explains what personal data we collect when you play Idle Cosmic Chaos on Android and, in future, on iOS; how we use it; who we share it with; and the choices you have. It also covers this website, marooned-interactive.com.

Privacy contact: support@marooned-interactive.com. Postal contact: Marooned Interactive, India.

In short
  • We collect a player account (your Google Play Games or Game Center player ID and gamer name), your game progress, gameplay analytics events and purchase records, so the game can save your progress and work properly.
  • The game shows ads through Google AdMob and partner networks, which use your device's Advertising ID. Ads are personalised only with your consent where the law requires it.
  • We never sell your personal data for money.
  • The game does not collect your real name, email address, contacts, photos, precise location or payment card details.
  • You can delete your account at any time, in the game under Settings › Delete account, or at marooned-interactive.com/delete-account.

This website sets no cookies, uses no analytics or trackers, and loads nothing from other companies' servers (its fonts are hosted here too). It is hosted on Cloudflare, which processes visitors' IP addresses to deliver and protect the site. The contact form does not send anything to a server: it opens your own email app with your message filled in, and we only receive what you choose to send.

Third-party services

These providers process data on our behalf or, in the case of ad networks, for their own purposes as independent controllers. Each link goes to the provider's own privacy policy.

If we add or change ad networks, we update this list and the "Last updated" date.

Advertising and the Advertising ID

The game shows rewarded video ads, and may show interstitial or banner ads, through Google AdMob and the partner networks listed above. To do this, the ad SDKs collect your device's Advertising ID, IP address, device information and how you interact with ads. They use this to deliver ads, limit how often you see the same ad, measure performance, prevent fraud and, only where you have consented, show ads personalised to you.

Google and its partners use data from apps that use Google services: see How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services.

You can limit or reset ad tracking at any time:

  • Android: Settings › Google › Ads › Delete advertising ID. On older versions the option is Opt out of Ads Personalisation. Wording varies by device.
  • iOS: Settings › Privacy & Security › Tracking. The game asks for permission through App Tracking Transparency before any tracking.
  • In the game: Settings › Privacy options reopens the consent form so you can change your choice.

If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, the game shows you Google's consent form (a certified consent management platform following the IAB TCF standard) before any personalised ads are shown. If you decline, you still see ads, but they are non-personalised or limited. You can change your choice at any time in Settings › Privacy options.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access the personal data we hold about you, correct it, delete it, receive a copy of it, restrict or object to how we use it, and withdraw consent you have given. To exercise any of these, email support@marooned-interactive.com. We answer within 30 days (45 days for requests under US state privacy laws) and may ask you to confirm you own the account first.

  • EEA and UK (GDPR): you also have the right to complain to your local data protection authority.
  • California and other US states: we do not sell your personal data for money. Sharing your Advertising ID with ad networks for cross-context behavioural advertising may count as "selling" or "sharing" under some state laws; you can opt out through the in-game Privacy options and your device's Advertising ID controls described above. We do not discriminate against you for exercising your rights.
  • India (Digital Personal Data Protection Act): you may access, correct and erase your data and nominate someone to act for you, by contacting the email above.

You can also delete your whole account yourself at any time; see Account and data deletion below.

How long we keep your data

  • Account, sign-in and game progress: until you delete your account, then removed within 30 days.
  • Gameplay analytics events: 24 months, after which they are deleted or kept only in aggregated form that cannot identify you.
  • Purchase records: as long as tax and accounting law requires, at most 7 years, even after you delete your account.
  • Server logs: for a limited period needed for security and troubleshooting, then deleted automatically.
  • Support emails: 90 days after your request is closed.
  • Advertising and analytics data held by partners: according to each partner's own policy, linked above.

Children

Idle Cosmic Chaos is not directed at children under 13, or under 16 in the EEA and UK where local law sets that age. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has created an account or that we hold a child's data, email support@marooned-interactive.com and we will delete it.

Account and data deletion

You can delete your account and the data linked to it at any time:

Deletion removes your account and player ID, the link to your Google Play Games or Game Center profile, your cloud save and all progress, currencies and items, and the analytics events tied to your ID (deleted or irreversibly anonymised). Purchase records are kept for the legal period above, and server logs expire on their own schedule. Data held by ad partners is controlled by them and by your device's Advertising ID settings. Deletion is permanent and purchases cannot be restored afterwards. Uninstalling the game does not delete your account.

Security

All traffic between the game, our backend and the ad SDKs is encrypted with TLS. Sign-in tokens on your device are stored encrypted. Access to player data is limited to the developer and the service providers named above, each bound by their own terms. No method of storage or transmission is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security, but we take reasonable steps to protect your data.

International transfers

We are based in India. Our backend provider and the partners listed above operate servers that may be located outside your country, including outside the EEA and UK. Where data protection law requires it, transfers are covered by safeguards such as the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses or an adequacy decision, or they take place with your consent.

Changes to this policy

When we change this policy we post the new version here with a new "Last updated" date. For material changes we also tell you in the game. Continuing to play after a change means the updated policy applies.
