Privacy Policy & Terms of Service
Last updated: September 17, 2026. This policy explains what information Elden Earth collects, how it is used, and the choices available to you.
1. Overview
Elden Earth ("we," "us," or "our") operates a location-based idle game accessible via web browser. This Privacy Policy describes our practices regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of information when you use our service, and the choices you have associated with that information.
2. Information We Collect
We collect only the information necessary to provide and maintain the game experience:
- Account Information: When you sign in with Google, we receive your name, profile picture, and a unique account identifier used to save your progress.
- Location Data: With your permission, we use your device's GPS coordinates to determine which map tiles are available for you to claim. Location data is processed to support gameplay and is not sold or shared with third parties for advertising purposes.
- Gameplay Data: Progress, in-game currency balances, owned tiles, and settings are stored to keep your game state in sync across devices.
- Usage & Device Data: Basic technical information such as browser type and general performance metrics may be collected to maintain service reliability.
3. How We Use Information
Information we collect is used solely to operate, maintain, and improve Elden Earth, including to authenticate your account, save and sync your progress, display leaderboards, prevent cheating and abuse, and provide customer support.
4. Advertising
Elden Earth displays advertisements served through Google AdSense to help fund the game's treasury and community rewards. Google may use cookies or device identifiers to serve ads. You can learn more about how Google uses this information at Google's Partner Sites policy. We do not harvest, farm, or independently sell your personal data to advertisers or data brokers.
5. Data Sharing & Disclosure
We do not sell your personal information. We may share limited data with service providers (such as Firebase/Google Cloud) strictly for the purpose of hosting, authentication, and database storage required to run the game. We may disclose information if required by law or to protect the rights, safety, and integrity of our players and platform.
6. Data Security
We use industry-standard safeguards, including authenticated cloud infrastructure and access controls, to protect your information. However, no method of electronic storage or transmission is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
7. Data Retention & Deletion
Your account data is retained for as long as your account remains active. You may permanently delete your account and associated data at any time from the in-game menu. Deletion requests are processed promptly and cannot be undone.
8. Children's Privacy
Elden Earth is not directed to children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, we will take steps to delete such information.
9. Your Rights & Choices
Depending on your location, you may have the right to access, correct, or delete your personal information, and to withdraw location or account permissions at any time through your device or browser settings. Contact us using the details below to exercise these rights.
10. Terms of Service Summary
By using Elden Earth, you agree to play fairly and refrain from exploiting bugs, using automation tools, or engaging in behavior that disrupts other players. In-game currency and items have no real-world monetary value and are not redeemable for cash except through any officially announced cash-out program. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts found in violation of these terms or engaging in fraudulent activity.
