Lost & Found privacy policy

01Who we are

Lost & Found is made by Third Burner Games, part of Third Burner ("we", "us"). If you have a question about this policy or your data, email hello@thirdburner.com.

02What stays on your phone

The game saves your progress (which shifts you've finished and your stars), your settings (such as sound and reduced motion) and whether you've unlocked the full game. This is stored on your device using Android's standard app storage. It is not sent to us, and we can't see it.

If you uninstall the game or clear its data, this saved information is deleted. A full-game purchase can be restored afterwards from the game's "Restore purchase" button.

03Ads for hints (Google AdMob)

The game never shows ads on its own. An ad plays only when you tap "Watch an ad for a hint". These ads are provided by Google AdMob. When an ad is requested or shown, Google may collect information such as:

• your device's advertising ID and other device identifiers
• your IP address, and an approximate location worked out from it
• device and app details, such as model, operating system and language
• how you interact with the ad, and diagnostic data

Google uses this to deliver ads, measure them, prevent fraud and, where you allow it, personalise them. We don't receive this information in a form that identifies you. You can read how Google handles it at How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services and in Google's Privacy Policy.

Your choices: if you're in the European Economic Area, the UK or Switzerland, the game asks for your consent before personalised ads are shown, using Google's consent tool. You can change that choice later from the game's settings. On any Android phone you can also reset or delete your advertising ID, or opt out of personalised ads, in your phone's Settings under Google › Ads (the exact menu varies by phone). If you never tap the hint button, no ads are requested.

04Purchases (Google Play)

The first chapter is free. The rest of the game is a one-time purchase made through Google Play Billing. Google handles the payment, and we never receive your card or bank details. The game receives only a confirmation from Google Play that the purchase is valid, so it can unlock the full game and restore it later. Google's handling of purchase data is covered by Google's Privacy Policy.

05Permissions

The game uses internet access only to load hint ads and to check purchases with Google Play. It also includes Google's standard advertising ID permission, which the ad service needs. It does not ask for access to your contacts, camera, microphone, photos or precise location.

06What we don't do

• We don't sell or rent personal information.
• We don't run our own analytics or tracking in the game.
• We don't use cloud saves or store player data on our own servers.

07Children

Lost & Found is not directed at children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has provided personal information through the game, email us and we'll help.

08Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct or delete personal information about you, or to object to how it's used. Because we don't hold player data ourselves, the quickest way to delete what the game stores is to clear the app's data or uninstall it. For data collected by Google, use your Google account's privacy controls or the ad settings described above. You can also email us and we'll respond within 30 days.

09Security

Saved game data stays inside the app's private storage on your phone, which other apps can't read. Ad and purchase traffic is handled by Google over encrypted connections.

10Changes to this policy

If the game changes in a way that affects your data, such as a new ad provider or online features, we'll update this page and the "Last updated" date above. For significant changes, we'll also mention it in the game's update notes.
