This Privacy Policy explains how information is handled when you use Swarmloom Idle (the “Game”). It applies to the Android version distributed through Google Play, the browser/WebGL version on AIBuiltProjects.com, and the browser version distributed through Kongregate. Features and data processing differ between these editions as explained below. Swarmloom Idle is intended for users aged 13 and over.
Game progress and local storage
Swarmloom Idle supports local progress saving on Android and in browser storage. Guest play does not require Google sign-in. The AIBuiltProjects.com edition and compatible Android builds also support optional Google sign-in and account-based cloud saving. These account features are separate from Kongregate sign-in, Kreds and Kongregate leaderboards.
Deleting the Android app, clearing its app storage, clearing browser or site data, resetting the device, or changing browsers may remove local progress. Local progress that has not been successfully uploaded cannot be recovered from the cloud. Check the in-game account and synchronisation status before changing devices, clearing data or uninstalling.
Optional Google sign-in and cloud saves
The account service uses Firebase Authentication and Cloud Firestore, provided by Google, together with the AIBuiltProjects.com WordPress server. When you choose Google sign-in, Firebase may process your unique account identifier, email address, display name, profile-photo URL and authentication/session information supplied by Google. Authentication providers and hosting services also process technical information, such as IP addresses and user agents, to operate and protect the service. The Game does not receive your Google password.
The cloud-save service associates your verified account identifier with your saved game progress and the revision, generation, operation and timing information needed to synchronise it safely. It is used to restore progress, recognise conflicting saves and prevent an old device from silently restoring deleted or reset progress. Use the same Google account on each supported device. A browser may retain a sign-in session so that you do not have to sign in on every visit.
Guest play may use an anonymous Firebase identifier to support account linking. This does not, by itself, make Guest progress a Google-account cloud save. You can choose Guest play, or connect with Google when you want account-based saving. Signing out does not delete cloud data.
Synchronisation requires compatible game versions, a working connection and server confirmation. An offline save or an upload interrupted by closing the browser or app may not yet be in the cloud. If local and cloud progress genuinely differ, the Game may ask which progress to keep; review that choice because replacing a save can discard progress. Account features do not transfer a Kongregate account, leaderboard record or platform purchase entitlement.
Firebase Analytics is not enabled for this AIBuiltProjects.com account integration. Enabling accounts does not enable additional advertising in the website game. Android advertising, diagnostics and third-party platform services remain governed by the applicable sections below. For Google’s processing and retention practices, read Privacy and Security in Firebase and the Google Privacy Policy.
Website ratings and bug reports
Rating a game is optional and requires a verified Google account. The website stores the game, your selected 1–5-star rating, an account-linked pseudonymous identifier and the update time. The identifier is derived using a server-side keyed hash; your Google name, email address and account identifier are not displayed with the rating. The public display shows the real rating count and average. Changing your rating replaces your previous vote for that game.
Report a Bug opens a panel showing the support email address and a copy button. It does not submit a report automatically or attach your game save, sign-in token or personal files. If you contact support by email, we receive the address and information you choose to send and use it to investigate and reply. Do not send passwords, sign-in codes or full payment details.
Deleting cloud data or your AIBuiltProjects account
Use the supported Game’s Account menu to choose Delete Cloud Data for its cloud progress or Delete AIBP Account for the account and its associated supported cloud-game data. Resetting a game, deleting cloud data, signing out and deleting the account are different operations; read the confirmation carefully. Deleting your AIBuiltProjects/Firebase account does not delete your Google account or accounts and purchase records held independently by Google Play or Kongregate.
Sensitive deletion operations may require you to sign in with Google again. Uploads are paused while account deletion is pending. A pending or retrying request is not a completed deletion; the service retries interrupted cleanup. An offline local copy may remain on a device, so follow the Game’s reset or local-data controls if you also want to remove it. Minimal revision or deletion markers may remain after a game reset or cloud-data deletion to stop stale saves being uploaded again.
You can also request account or associated data deletion without opening the Game by emailing condruzmf@gmail.com with the subject “AIBuiltProjects account deletion request” and the Google sign-in email used for the Game. We may need to verify ownership before acting. Do not send your password or verification codes. Use the same contact for website-rating deletion, access or correction requests, or if in-game deletion does not complete.
Advertising
Android only: when advertising is enabled in a published Android build, Swarmloom Idle uses Google AdMob solely for optional, player-initiated rewarded ads. The available rewards are Double Damage for 30 minutes, Double Biomass for 30 minutes, and a progress-based DNA reward. There are no banner, interstitial, rewarded-interstitial, or forced advertisements. The Game remains playable without watching an ad; a reward is granted only after a completed rewarded-ad view.
Advertising providers may process information needed to deliver, measure, secure and improve ads. Depending on the platform, device, region, settings and consent choices, this may include device or advertising identifiers, IP address, approximate location derived from IP address, ad interactions, diagnostics and fraud-prevention information. EpicJoy Games does not directly receive full payment-card details merely because advertising is shown.
Google’s handling of information is governed by its Privacy Policy. Kongregate’s handling of information is governed by its Privacy Policy.
Android advertising consent and choices
Android only: where required, the Android app presents Google’s consent form before requesting ads. It provides the choices required for the player’s region, including personalised or non-personalised advertising where applicable. When required by Google’s consent system, the app also provides a Privacy and cookie settings option so the player can review or change that choice later. This consent flow applies to the Android app, including Google Play Games on PC; it does not change the Kongregate browser version.
Optional purchases and Kreds
Where purchases are enabled, the Android version may use Google Play Billing. Google Play processes those transactions, and EpicJoy Games does not directly receive or store your full payment-card or bank details.
The Kongregate version may offer optional virtual items through Kreds, Kongregate’s virtual currency. The Kongregate purchase interface and platform process the transaction. The Game may receive the confirmation or inventory information needed to provide the purchased item, but EpicJoy Games does not directly receive your full card or bank details from that process. Kongregate account, transaction and platform information is handled under Kongregate’s own policies.
Platform services
Google Play may process technical, diagnostic, security and transaction information required for distribution, advertising consent, billing and related platform functions. When you play through Kongregate, Kongregate may process account, browser, device, usage, advertising and transaction information for its platform. Swarmloom Idle receives only the platform information made available for integrations that are actually enabled.
Kongregate statistics and leaderboards
This subsection applies only to the Kongregate browser version, not the Android version. When the official Kongregate client API integration is available, the Game can submit three gameplay records:
- HighestStage: the highest garden stage reached.
- Exterminations: the highest Extermination count reached within a game progression.
- PlantsConsumed: the cumulative number of plants actually consumed, as recorded by this statistics feature. Plants consumed before this feature started recording are not reconstructed.
These records support Kongregate leaderboards. When a record is submitted while the player is logged into Kongregate, it is associated with that player’s Kongregate account and may be displayed publicly alongside their Kongregate identity. Guest play does not require signing in. The Game keeps the counters locally and can submit them when the player is logged in and the integration is available, but score delivery or continuous synchronisation is not guaranteed.
Local personal-best records survive the Game’s Hard Reset. Clearing browser or site storage may remove locally stored records, but it does not delete scores already submitted to Kongregate. This integration does not create an EpicJoy Games account and does not provide cloud saves.
Kongregate controls its platform accounts, hosted leaderboard records and related retention and deletion processes under its own policies. Clearing local data or contacting EpicJoy Games does not automatically delete records held by Kongregate. For more information, read the Kongregate Privacy Policy.
Analytics and crash reporting
On Android, Swarmloom Idle uses Google Mobile Ads and Unity Diagnostics. Google Mobile Ads may process device identifiers, approximate location, app interactions and diagnostic information for advertising, analytics, fraud prevention, security and service delivery, as described above. Unity Diagnostics may automatically collect crash logs, diagnostic information, app performance data and device identifiers to help monitor reliability and troubleshoot technical problems; see the Unity Privacy Policy. These Android services operate separately from Kongregate. When the browser version is played through Kongregate, Kongregate may process platform analytics and technical diagnostics under its own privacy policy.
Sharing and sale of data
EpicJoy Games does not sell personal data. Information may be processed by Google/Firebase, the AIBuiltProjects.com hosting service, Kongregate and their service providers when the relevant account, cloud-save, platform, advertising or purchase features are used. EpicJoy Games does not share information with unrelated third parties for their independent marketing purposes.
Optional sharing
Sharing is voluntary and begins only when the player presses Share. The Game prepares a text message and a link to the Game, which may mention the insect the player unlocked. On Android, it opens the system sharing interface so the player can choose an available destination app. On supported browsers, it uses the browser or device sharing interface; when native sharing is unavailable, a copying fallback is provided.
The Game does not automatically publish a post, enumerate the player’s installed apps, or upload screenshots, photos or other files through this sharing feature. Opening the sharing interface does not necessarily mean that the player completed a share. Any destination selected by the player handles the shared text and link under its own privacy policy.
Your choices and consent
Where required by law or platform rules, advertising consent and privacy choices may be presented, including choices relating to personalised or non-personalised advertising where available. Android users may also manage advertising settings through their device and Google account. Kongregate users can use the privacy and account controls provided by Kongregate. Available options depend on the build, region, device, browser and platform.
Data retention and deletion
Local progress remains until it is removed using the Game or device/browser controls. Account-linked cloud progress and authentication records are retained to provide the account service until they are deleted or otherwise no longer needed. Deletion requests, minimal save-protection records and support correspondence may be retained while needed to complete cleanup, address abuse or resolve a request. Providers may retain security logs and backup copies under their own documented retention practices; deletion is not a promise of immediate removal from every backup. Kreds, Google Play purchases, Kongregate accounts and independent platform records remain subject to those providers’ controls and policies. See the account-deletion section above for the available request methods.
Security
EpicJoy Games uses verified sign-in tokens and account-specific access checks for the account service, and platform-provided systems for advertising and purchases. Reasonable safeguards are applied to the parts of the Game controlled by EpicJoy Games. Google and Kongregate protect information they process under their own security practices. No application, browser, device, network, payment process or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
Children’s privacy
Swarmloom Idle is intended for users aged 13 and over and is not directed to children under 13. Where advertising or purchases are enabled, EpicJoy Games intends to apply the relevant age, consent and platform requirements. Parents or guardians may contact us if they believe information has been provided directly to EpicJoy Games by a child.
External links
The Game may link to EpicJoy Games pages, support pages or other destinations. Once you leave the Game, the destination service’s privacy practices apply. EpicJoy Games is not responsible for the content or privacy practices of external services.
Changes to this Privacy Policy
This policy may be updated when the Game, its platforms, monetisation features or legal requirements change. The revised version will be posted here with a new “Last updated” date. Google Play Data safety information and platform disclosures should remain consistent with the services actually enabled in each published build.
