Privacy notice
Last updated 28 October 2026
This notice explains what the game Parcelton (the "game") collects about you, why, who else receives it, and what you can do about it. The game is made and run by Damian Diaz ("I", "me"), who is responsible for your data. You can reach me at deam.diaz.developer@gmail.com.
What the game collects
| What | Why | Where it comes from |
|---|---|---|
| Your company: everything you build and earn in the game, your company's name and colour, and a random account id and support id. | To run the game, keep your progress safe and let you play on another device. | The game |
| Sign-in details, only if you sign in: your Play Games player id and gamer name, your Game Center player id, or, with Sign in with Apple, your name and email address (which may be Apple's private relay address). | To find your company again on another device, and to show your name to other players where the game shows companies. | Google, Apple |
| Purchases: what you bought, when, and the store's order number. I never see your card or payment details. | To give you what you paid for, and to handle refunds and fraud. | Google Play, the App Store |
| Play statistics: which screens you open and what you do in the game, with an app-instance id, your device model and system, and an approximate location worked out from a shortened IP address. | To understand how the game is played and make it better. | The game, through Google Firebase Analytics on a phone, and Sentry on a computer (Steam) |
| Crash reports: what the game was doing when it failed, your device model and system, and your account id. | To find and fix crashes. | The game, through Google Firebase Crashlytics on a phone, and Sentry on a computer (Steam) |

| Technical data: your IP address and the times the game talks to the server. | To keep the service working and secure, and to limit abuse. | Your device |

Other players can see your company's name, its level and rankings, and your gamer name if you signed in, wherever the game shows other companies (rankings, friends, consortiums and visits).
Ads, and your choices about them
The game shows an ad only when you tap a button that says so; ads are never forced on you. In the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, Switzerland and US states with privacy laws, the game asks for your consent before personalised ads are shown, and you can change your answer at any time in the game's Settings, under Privacy, "Ads and your privacy". Where your age is known to be under 18, only non-personalised ads are shown, or none.
You can also reset or turn off your advertising id in your phone's settings.
Statistics and crash reports
You can turn off "Share play statistics" and "Send crash reports" in the game's Settings, under Privacy.
The legal basis (for players in the EEA and the UK)
- Running the game, your account, purchases and support: to perform our agreement with you (the terms).
- Statistics, crash reports, security and fraud prevention: my legitimate interest in a game that works and is fair. You can object by turning these off in Settings or writing to me.
- Personalised ads: your consent, which you can withdraw at any time in Settings.
Who else receives your data
- Google (Firebase Analytics, Crashlytics, AdMob, Google Play and Play Games). See Google's privacy policy and how Google uses data from partner apps.
- Sentry (Functional Software, Inc.), for crash reports and play statistics from the game on a computer (Steam): what the game was doing, the computer's system, and your account id; never your name, address or a picture of the screen. See Sentry's privacy policy.
- Valve (Steam), for the game bought there, its sign-in, achievements and leaderboards, under Valve's privacy policy.
- Apple (the App Store, Game Center and Sign in with Apple), under Apple's privacy policy.
- The company hosting the game's server, which stores the data on my behalf and may not use it for anything else.
I do not sell your data. Some of these companies process data outside your country, including in the United States; where the law asks for it, this is covered by the European Commission's standard contractual clauses or the EU-US Data Privacy Framework.
How long it is kept
- Your company and account: while you play. A company that was made but never played is removed after a week.
- Earlier copies of your company, kept so it can be restored if something goes wrong: 90 days.
- A record of what your account did in the last few days (for support and to spot abuse): one week.
- Records of purchases: as long as tax and accounting law requires, without your account once it is deleted.
- Statistics and crash reports: as set in Google Firebase, at most 14 months; in Sentry, at most 90 days.
Your rights
You can see, copy, correct and delete your data:
- Download it: in the game, tap your picture at the top left, then DOWNLOAD MY DATA.
- Delete it: in the game, tap your picture at the top left, then DELETE ACCOUNT (or "Delete this company" if you never signed in), and type DELETE. See deleting your account.
- Anything else, including objecting to or restricting how your data is used: write to deam.diaz.developer@gmail.com, with your support id (shown in Settings) if you can. I answer within one month.
If you think your data is being mishandled, you can also complain to the data protection authority where you live.
Children
The game is for players aged 13 and over and is not directed at children. If you believe a child under 13 has given us data, write to me and I will delete it.
Security
The game talks to its server only over encrypted connections, your account is reached with a secret kept on your device, and the stored data is backed up encrypted.
Changes
When this notice changes, the new version is posted here with a new date at the top. If a change matters to how your data is used, I will also say so in the game.
