Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 12, 2026

MoleDrill: Dig & Mine ("MoleDrill", "the app") is a mobile game made by Dima Brandorf ("we", "us"). This policy explains what information the app handles, why, and the choices you have. By using the app, you agree to this policy.

The short version

• There are no accounts. We never ask for your name, email, phone number or location.
• Your game progress is saved only on your device.
• We use a few trusted services to show optional rewarded ads, process purchases, and understand crashes and how the game is played.
• We do not sell your personal information.

Information stored on your device

Your save game (coins, gems, upgrades, progress, settings and similar game data) is stored locally on your device. It is not uploaded to our servers. Uninstalling the app deletes it.

Information collected automatically

Analytics (Google Firebase Analytics)

To learn which parts of the game are fun and where players get stuck, the app sends anonymous usage events, such as levels reached, upgrades bought and session length, together with an app-instance identifier, device model, operating system version, app version and an approximate country derived from your IP address. This information is not used to identify you.

Crash reports (Google Firebase Crashlytics)

If the app crashes, a crash report is sent so we can fix the problem. It includes technical details such as the stack trace, device model, operating system version, app version and a Crashlytics installation identifier.

Ads (Google AdMob)

The app shows rewarded video ads only when you choose to watch one for a bonus. To serve and measure ads, Google AdMob may collect your device's advertising identifier (Android Advertising ID, or the iOS IDFA if you allow tracking), IP address, device information and ad interaction data.

• iOS: the app asks for permission to track (App Tracking Transparency). If you decline, ads are still shown but are not personalized using the IDFA.
• EEA, UK and Switzerland: you are asked for consent before personalized ads are shown, and you can change your choice later from the game's settings.
• You can reset or opt out of your advertising ID in your device settings at any time.

Purchases (Apple App Store, Google Play and RevenueCat)

In-app purchases are processed by the Apple App Store or Google Play. We never see your payment details. We use RevenueCat to verify purchases and restore them; it receives an anonymous app user identifier, the products purchased and transaction details.

Information we do not collect

• Name, email address, phone number or postal address.
• Precise location.
• Contacts, photos, camera, microphone or files.
• Payment card or bank details.

How we use information

• To run the game and keep it working (crash reports).
• To improve game balance, difficulty and features (analytics).
• To show optional rewarded ads and limit how many you see per day.
• To deliver, verify and restore purchases.

Service providers

These providers process data under their own privacy policies:

• Google (Firebase Analytics, Crashlytics, AdMob): policies.google.com/privacy
• RevenueCat: revenuecat.com/privacy
• Apple: apple.com/legal/privacy

We do not sell or rent your personal information.

Notifications

If you allow notifications, the game schedules reminders on your device, for example when your crew's storage is full or a build has finished. These are created on your device, not sent from our servers. You can turn them off in the game settings or your device settings.

Device permissions

• Internet: ads, purchases, analytics and crash reports. The game itself plays offline.
• Notifications (optional): the reminders described above.
• Vibration: haptic feedback while digging. You can turn it off in the settings.
• Run at startup (Android): so scheduled reminders survive a phone restart.
• Tracking (iOS, optional): personalized ads, as described above.

Data retention

Game data stays on your device until you uninstall the app. Analytics and crash data are kept by Google under the retention settings of our Firebase project (no longer than 14 months for analytics) and are then deleted automatically.

Your rights and choices

Depending on where you live (for example under the GDPR or the CCPA), you may have the right to access, correct or delete personal information, or to object to its processing. Because there are no accounts, the simplest options are:

• Uninstall the app to delete all game data on your device.
• Reset your advertising ID, or opt out of personalized ads, in your device settings.
• Email us at [email protected] for any other request, including deleting analytics or crash data linked to your device. We will reply within 30 days.

Children's privacy

MoleDrill is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has provided us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.

Security

Data sent to our service providers travels over encrypted connections (HTTPS). No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, but we only work with providers that protect data to industry standards.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. We will update the date at the top of this page, and announce material changes in the app.
