Idle Goat Farmer, by Les Pins des Sables

## Privacy policy: Idle Goat Farmer

*This English translation is provided for convenience only. The [French version of this policy](https://lespinsdessables.com/applications/idle-goat-farmer/confidentialite) is the only legally binding one.*

Last updated: 2026-09-27.

Publisher: Les Pins des Sables, a company registered under SIREN number 983041658, whose registered office is located at 47 chemin des sables, 06160 Juan les pins, publisher of the mobile application Idle Goat Farmer (hereinafter ‘the Application’).

Contact: for any question about this policy or your personal data, you can write to us at contact@lespinsdessables.com.

This policy explains what data is collected when you use the Application, why, and what your rights are. It applies to the Android (Google Play) and Fire OS (Amazon Appstore) versions of the Application.

### 1. What the Application does NOT do

The Application does not ask you to create an account and does not collect your name, your email address, your contacts, your photos or any directly identifying data. It does not access your GPS location. Playing does not involve any connection to an online service: your progress is stored solely on your device.

### 2. Data stored locally on your device

\- Game progress (goats, resources, levels, settings): saved solely in your phone's local storage, on no server. If you uninstall the Application or clear its data, this progress is permanently lost, unless you have exported a save code.

\- Save export and import: the Application lets you generate a text code representing your progress, which you can copy or share yourself, for example when changing phones. This code is generated and read entirely on your device. We never have access to its content, and it does not pass through any of our servers.

\- Nickname (optional, Settings screen): stored locally, used only on your device and shared with no one.

\- Language and sound preferences: stored locally, read from your phone's settings (language) or chosen by you in the Application.

### 3. Advertising

The Application offers optional ads (watched voluntarily, in exchange for an in-game reward).

To serve and measure these ads, the ad networks may collect:

\- an advertising identifier (Advertising ID), which can be reset or disabled in your phone's settings;

\- technical information about your device (model, operating system, language, Application version);

\- an approximate location, inferred from the IP address, never from GPS;

\- your interactions with the ads (display, click, watched to the end).

This data is processed by these ad networks in accordance with their own privacy policies:

\- [Google AdMob](https://policies.google.com/privacy)

\- [Unity Technologies](https://unity.com/legal/game-player-and-app-user-privacy-policy)

\- [Pangle](https://www.pangleglobal.com/privacy)

\- [Meta Audience Network](https://www.facebook.com/privacy/policy/)

\- [Liftoff (Vungle)](https://liftoff.io/privacy-policy/)

Consent: on first launch, a consent banner (GDPR-compliant, IAB ‘UMP’ standard) asks for your agreement before any personalised advertising or audience measurement, if you are located in the European Union, the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland. If you refuse, ads are shown without personalisation. You can change or withdraw this consent at any time from the Application's Settings screen.

### 4. Audience measurement (Google Firebase Analytics and GameAnalytics)

With your consent, where required, the Application sends pseudonymous usage statistics in order to improve the game's balance and fix its defects: progression milestones, screens visited, session length, ads watched and their outcome, device and screen type, Application version.

These statistics are linked to a random identifier specific to the installation, never to your name, your email address or the advertising identifier, the collection of which by these tools is disabled.

In the European Union, the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland, this measurement only takes place if you have accepted it in the consent banner. You can withdraw this consent at any time from the Settings screen.

This data is processed by these tools in accordance with their own privacy policies:

\- [Google Firebase Analytics](https://policies.google.com/privacy)

\- [GameAnalytics](https://www.gameanalytics.com/privacy-policy)

### 5. Crash reports (Google Firebase Crashlytics)

If the Application crashes or an error occurs, the Application sends a technical report (error trace, device model, operating system and Application version, installation identifier), without any advertising identifier. This processing is based on our legitimate interest in ensuring the stability and security of the Application. Reports are kept for 90 days.

### 6. Application updates

On start-up, the Application automatically checks whether a content update is available, with the publisher's update server or the Expo/EAS technical service. This check transmits standard technical information (Application version, platform), which is necessary for the service to work properly, without any personally identifiable data on our part.

### 7. What the stores collect on their side

Google Play and the Amazon Appstore collect, on their own behalf and in accordance with their privacy policies, information relating to the installation, general use and any crashes of the Application, independently of us.

### 8. Data sharing

We do not sell your data. We share it with third parties only for the purposes described above: the ad networks listed in section 3, which process the data on their own behalf; the service providers for audience measurement (section 4) and for crash reporting (section 5), which process it on our behalf. These providers may host the data outside the European Union, under the safeguards provided for by the GDPR (standard contractual clauses or adequacy decision).

### 9. Children's privacy

The Application is not intended for children under the age of 13 and we do not knowingly collect personal data from them. Should the Application's age rating change, the advertising settings would be adjusted accordingly (non-personalised ads for this audience), in accordance with the applicable rules of the distribution platforms.

### 10. Your rights

In accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the French Data Protection Act, you have the right of access, rectification, erasure, restriction and objection regarding your data, as well as the right to withdraw your consent at any time. As most of your game data remains on your device, uninstalling the Application or clearing its data from your phone's settings permanently deletes this progress. As for the advertising identifier, you can reset or delete it from your device's advertising settings. The steps to follow are set out in our [data deletion policy](https://lespinsdessables.com/en/apps/idle-goat-farmer/data-deletion).

For any other request, contact us at contact@lespinsdessables.com. You may also lodge a complaint with the CNIL, the French data protection authority (www.cnil.fr).

### 11. Changes to this policy

This policy may be updated, in particular when new features are added (leaderboards between players, online saves, new advertising partners through mediation). The date of the last update appears at the top of this document.
