Privacy Policy for Letter Tycoon
Effective date: July 29, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how Letter Tycoon (the "Game") accesses, uses, stores, and shares information. It also explains the privacy choices available to players.
1. Privacy Summary
Letter Tycoon:
- Does not require an account or login
- Does not include developer-operated analytics, cloud saves, online chat, or an online leaderboard
- Does not request access to the camera, microphone, contacts, precise location, photos, videos, or device storage
- Stores gameplay progress and settings locally in the Game's private storage on the player's device
- Uses Google Play Billing for optional in-app purchases
- Uses Google AdMob and Google's consent tools for optional rewarded advertising
Technochiya does not sell personal information.
2. Information Stored Only on the Device
Letter Tycoon stores the following information in its private local save:
- Game progress, coins, upgrades, Golden Tiles, cosmetics, and settings
- Daily streak and offline-progress timestamps
- Words submitted, best-word statistics, and private offline league progress
- Whether the Supporter Pack is owned
- Counts of completed purchases and rewarded ads
- Google Play purchase-delivery tokens used to prevent duplicate delivery
This local gameplay information is used only to operate the Game and preserve progress.
Letter Tycoon does not transmit words played, private league scores, or local gameplay history to Technochiya.
Android backup is disabled for the Game's save data.
3. Google Play Billing and Purchases
Letter Tycoon offers optional in-app purchases through Google Play Billing.
Optional purchases are processed by Google Play. Google may process account, device, payment, purchase, diagnostic, and fraud-prevention information under Google's own terms and privacy policies.
Letter Tycoon receives purchase details needed to deliver an item, such as:
- Product identifier
- Purchase state
- Purchase token
The Game stores the purchase token in its private local storage to prevent duplicate delivery.
Google Play may also make transaction and purchase-status records available to Technochiya for fulfillment, customer support, accounting, fraud prevention, and handling refunds or revoked purchases.
Technochiya does not receive or store a player's full credit-card number, bank-account number, or Google Account password.
Consumable coin and Golden Tile packs are delivered once and cannot be restored after Google Play marks them as consumed.
The non-consumable Supporter Pack can be restored through Google Play.
For more information about Google's processing, see:
4. Optional Rewarded Advertising
Letter Tycoon contains no forced interstitial ads.
A player may choose to watch a rewarded advertisement in exchange for a clearly described in-game bonus.
The Google Mobile Ads SDK may initialize and prepare a rewarded advertisement when the Game is opened, even if the player does not ultimately watch it.
Google AdMob and Google's consent tools may automatically collect, process, and share information such as:
- The device's IP address, which may be used to estimate general or approximate location
- App and advertisement interactions, such as app launches, taps, ad requests, and video views
- Diagnostic and performance information, such as loading time, hang rate, energy usage, and SDK errors
- Device and app identifiers, which may include the Android advertising ID, App Set ID, and other device or account-related identifiers where available
- Advertising consent choices and related privacy signals
Google uses this information to provide and measure advertising, perform analytics, limit ad frequency, prevent fraud and abuse, maintain security, and comply with legal obligations.
Google may make this information available to advertising partners involved in providing an advertisement.
5. Advertising Configuration and Privacy Choices
Letter Tycoon requests non-personalized advertising and disables the AdMob plugin's first-party advertising identifier.
Depending on the player's region, Google's consent form may provide additional privacy choices before advertising is initialized.
Non-personalized advertisements may still use contextual information, IP address, device identifiers, and limited interaction data for advertisement delivery, measurement, security, and fraud prevention.
Information transmitted by the Google Mobile Ads SDK is encrypted in transit using Transport Layer Security (TLS).
Players can manage eligible advertising choices through:
- Google's consent message where available
- Android advertising and privacy settings
- Google My Ad Center
No third-party mediation ad networks are configured in the current version of Letter Tycoon.
If Technochiya adds another advertising network or changes these practices, this Privacy Policy and the Google Play Data Safety declaration will be updated as appropriate.
6. Legal Bases Where Applicable
Where data-protection law requires a legal basis, information may be processed:
- To provide requested Game features and complete purchases
- With consent, where consent is required for advertising-related processing
- For legitimate interests such as security, fraud prevention, service reliability, and providing non-personalized advertising, where permitted
- To comply with legal, tax, accounting, and regulatory obligations
7. Data Sharing
Information may be processed by:
- Google Play — for app distribution, licensing, in-app purchases, purchase restoration, fraud prevention, support, and transaction administration
- Google AdMob and Google's consent services — for rewarded advertising, consent management, advertisement measurement, analytics, security, and fraud prevention
Information may also be disclosed when reasonably necessary to comply with law, enforce legal rights, investigate fraud or abuse, or protect players, Technochiya, or the public.
Technochiya does not sell personal information and does not operate a data-brokerage service.
8. Data Retention and Deletion
Local Game data remains on the device until the player clears Letter Tycoon's app storage or uninstalls the Game.
Either action deletes the local save, including gameplay history and locally stored purchase-delivery tokens.
Because Letter Tycoon has no Technochiya account system or cloud save, Technochiya normally has no remote gameplay profile to delete.
The Supporter Pack may be restored from Google Play after reinstalling because Google retains the purchase record.
Consumed items and deleted local progress cannot be restored by Technochiya.
Google retains purchase, advertising, consent, security, and diagnostic information according to Google's own retention policies and legal obligations.
Players can use their Google Account, Android advertising settings, My Ad Center, or Google's privacy tools to manage eligible information held by Google.
To ask a privacy question or request deletion of information held directly by Technochiya, contact technochiya@gmail.com .
Technochiya may retain limited transaction records when necessary for fraud prevention, accounting, tax, dispute resolution, or other legal obligations.
9. Security
Letter Tycoon uses Android's private app storage for local save data and disables Android backup for that data.
Data sent to Google services is transmitted through the security controls provided by Google Play, Google Mobile Ads, and TLS-protected connections.
Reasonable safeguards are used, but no electronic storage or transmission method can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
10. Children's Privacy
Letter Tycoon is intended for a general audience aged 13 and older and is not directed toward children under the age of 13.
The Game does not knowingly request names, email addresses, or other direct contact information from children.
If a parent or guardian believes that a child under 13 has provided personal information directly to Technochiya, please contact technochiya@gmail.com .
11. International Processing
Google and its service providers may process information in countries other than the player's country of residence.
Those countries may have different data-protection laws. Google describes its international data-transfer safeguards in the Google Privacy Policy.
12. Player Privacy Rights
Depending on where a player lives, they may have rights to request:
- Access to certain personal information
- Correction of inaccurate information
- Deletion
- Restriction of certain processing
- Objection to certain processing
- Withdrawal of consent
Players may also have the right to lodge a complaint with an applicable data-protection authority.
These rights may be limited by applicable law.
For information held directly by Technochiya, use the privacy contact below.
For information controlled by Google, use Google's privacy controls or contact Google directly.
13. Changes to This Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy may be updated when Letter Tycoon, its service providers, or legal requirements change.
The revised policy will be published at the same public URL with a new "Last updated" date.
Material changes will be disclosed in the Game or through the Google Play listing when required.
