Privacy Policy
Last updated: 26 October 2026
Tide Idle ("the app") is developed and published by eBranding OÜ, Estonia.
Data we collect
We don't run analytics or sell personal data. The services below (optional sign-in, ads and purchases) process some data as described.
Advertising
The Android app shows ads from Google AdMob: optional videos you can watch for an in-game bonus, and occasional full-screen ads between parts of the game. To show and measure ads and prevent fraud, Google may collect your device's advertising ID, IP address (approximate location), and information about your device and how you interact with ads. In the EU/EEA and UK you are asked for consent first and can change your choice anytime in Settings → Privacy choices. Google's use of this data is described at https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites. You can reset or delete your advertising ID in your device's settings.
Optional sign-in and cloud save
In the Android app you can sign in with Google (Settings → Cloud save) to keep a copy of your game save in the cloud and continue on another phone. We then store your account (an ID, your email address and name from Google) and your save with our database provider Supabase in the EU (Ireland), shared with our other game Vera's Museum if you use the same account there. Signing in is optional. You can delete your account and cloud save at any time in the app or as described on Delete your data.
In-app purchases
In the Android app you can buy the Captain’s Pass (no ads between parts of the game, and the optional ad bonuses without ads). Payments are handled entirely by Google Play; we never see your card or payment details. To check that a purchase is genuine and unlock it, the app uses RevenueCat, Inc. (USA), which receives the store’s purchase record (product, date, price, a transaction ID) together with a random app user ID. Purchase records are kept as long as accounting and tax law require. See RevenueCat’s privacy policy.
Data stored on your device
Your game progress is saved on your own device, so you can continue where you left off. Unless you turn on cloud save (above), it never leaves your device, and it is deleted when you uninstall the app or clear its data. When you play on CrazyGames, CrazyGames also keeps your progress in your CrazyGames account, under CrazyGames’ privacy policy.
Permissions
The app only uses internet access (for ads, purchases, sign-in and cloud saves). It does not request access to your contacts, location, camera, microphone, photos or files.
Children
The app is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect data from anyone.
Changes
If this policy changes (for example, if we add features that process data), we will update this page and the date above before the change takes effect.
