Potion Factory — Privacy Policy
Last updated: 9 November 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how Pointer Games (“we”, “us”, “our”) handles information in connection with the mobile game Potion Factory (the “Game”) on Apple iOS. By downloading or using the Game, you agree to this policy.
Short version: We do not ask you to create an account and we do not collect your name, email or contacts. Your factory and progress are stored on your device. To show ads, limited technical data is processed by Google as described below, and only after you have been asked for your consent where the law requires it.
1. Information we collect ourselves
We do not directly collect personal information. Your save games (factory layout, gold, research, explored islands, quests, achievements, daily rewards and streaks, production statistics) and your settings are stored locally on your device and are not sent to us. We do not operate game servers.
2. Advertising (Google AdMob)
The Game shows occasional full-screen ads and optional rewarded video ads (for example “watch an ad for 2× production” or “collect ×2”) through Google AdMob (Google Mobile Ads SDK). Watching rewarded ads is always optional. To serve and measure ads, Google may process:
device and advertising identifiers (e.g. IDFA, only if you allow tracking);
approximate, non-precise location derived from your IP address;
device information (model, operating system, language) and ad-interaction data.
Google’s handling of this data is governed by the Google Privacy Policy (https://policies.google.com/privacy) and “How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services” (https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites).
3. Consent (EEA, UK and Switzerland) and tracking
Consent form: if you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, the Game shows a consent message (Google User Messaging Platform) on first launch, where you can accept, decline or choose which purposes and partners to allow. You can change your choice at any time in the Game: Pause menu → Privacy choices.
Apple App Tracking Transparency: iOS asks whether the Game may track you across other companies’ apps and websites. If you decline, ads are shown without the advertising identifier (non-personalized / contextual ads).
4. Purchases
The Game offers an optional in-app purchase (“Remove Ads”). Purchases are processed by Apple through the App Store; we do not receive or store your payment details. Your purchase can be restored on another device with Restore purchases in the pause menu.
5. Children
The Game is not directed to children under the age of 13 (or the equivalent minimum age in your country), and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
6. Your choices
Ad consent (EEA/UK/CH): Pause menu → Privacy choices inside the Game.
Tracking: iOS Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking.
Apple ads: iOS Settings → Privacy & Security → Apple Advertising.
Ads in general: the optional “Remove Ads” purchase turns off full-screen ads (rewarded videos stay available if you want them).
Local data: deleting the Game removes all progress stored on your device.
7. Data retention & security
We do not hold personal data on our own systems. Data processed by Google and Apple is retained according to their policies. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, but the third-party SDKs we use apply industry-standard safeguards.
8. International users
Ad data may be processed by Google in countries outside your own, including the United States, under Google’s safeguards.
9. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date above shows the latest version.
