Privacy Policy

EFFECTIVE DATE: OCTOBER 14, 2026

The short version: Idle Studio: Photo Tycoon does not collect your data. There is no account, no analytics and no advertising. Your game save stays on your iPhone and in your own iCloud. Apart from Apple's services (iCloud, Game Center and the App Store), the only outside service the app talks to is RevenueCat, which manages purchases.

What we collect

Nothing. Idle Studio has no sign-up, no login and no user profile, and we run no servers that receive your data.

Your game save

Your progress is saved on your iPhone. If iCloud is turned on, the save also syncs through your own iCloud account so it carries over to your other devices. We can't see it.

Location

If you allow it, the app reads your approximate location to work out your local sunrise and sunset for the Golden Hour bonus. The calculation runs on your iPhone, and the coordinates are stored only on your device. They are never sent to us or to anyone else. If you decline, Golden Hour uses fixed default times. You can change this anytime in Settings.

Notifications

Golden Hour reminders are local notifications scheduled on your iPhone. No push service is involved.

Game Center

Game Center stays off until you turn it on in the app's settings. When it's on, achievement progress is reported to Apple's Game Center under Apple's privacy policy.

Purchases

Purchases are processed by Apple and managed through RevenueCat. To deliver what you bought, RevenueCat processes a randomly generated, anonymous app user identifier and standard purchase receipt information. It is not tied to your name or contact details and is not used to track you. Apple handles payment under its own privacy policy.

No tracking or advertising

Idle Studio has no ads, no advertising SDKs, no third-party analytics and no cross-app tracking.

Children

Idle Studio collects no personal information from anyone, so it collects none from children either.

Changes

If this policy changes, we will update the effective date above and post the new version on this page.
