Crash Bang: The Gilded Citadel — Privacy Policy
Effective date: November 12, 2026 · Developer: Oxvelle
Crash Bang: The Gilded Citadel ("the game") is a platformer. You don't need an account, we never ask for your name or email, and the game's own code does not collect personal data, track you or send analytics. We run no server that receives your data. The only data that leaves your device for another company is what Google AdMob uses to show ads, described below.
Your game data
Your progress (halls finished, bells, records, the story you have seen, lantern shards found), your settings, gilt, lanterns, faces and cloaks, a record of delivered purchases, and simple counters for ads and daily gifts are saved on your device.
If you turn on "iCloud save" in the game's Settings (it is off until you do), a copy of this save is kept in your own iCloud account (Apple's iCloud key-value storage) so it follows you to your other devices. Only your Apple Account can read it; we cannot. "Erase all" in Settings deletes the save on this device and the copy in iCloud.
Game Center
If you are signed in to Game Center, the game sends your scores, achievements and, on iOS 26 and later, activity and challenge results to Apple so they appear on leaderboards and in your profile. Your Game Center nickname is shown to other players by Apple. This is handled by Apple under Apple's privacy policy.
Reminders
Reminders are off until you turn them on (when Lumen offers, or in Settings › Reminders). They are scheduled on your device only, for example when your daily gift is ready or after a few quiet days, never at night, and are removed when you return to the game. Turning them off removes them. Nothing about them is sent to us or anyone else.
Purchases
In-app purchases are processed by Apple through the App Store. We never receive your payment details or your Apple Account information. The game checks Apple's signed record of each purchase on your device to deliver what you bought, and to take back what a refunded purchase gave.
Advertising (Google AdMob)
The free version shows ads provided by Google AdMob: an ad between halls from time to time, and rewarded ads that you choose to watch. To show ads, limit how often you see them, measure them and prevent fraud, Google may collect your device's advertising identifier (only if you allow tracking), your IP address (from which an approximate location is derived), information about your device (such as model, operating system and language), how you interact with ads, and diagnostic data.
In the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland, the game asks for your consent with Google's consent tool before ads are personalised, and you can change your choice at any time in the game's Settings › Privacy choices. Apple then asks whether Crash Bang may track you; if you choose "Ask App Not to Track", your advertising identifier is not used. You see the same number of ads either way. Google's privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy. How Google uses data from partner apps: https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.
Players who bought Quiet Halls, the Bellwright's Kit or the Patron's Box see no ads between halls. Rewarded ads stay available to them, only ever by their choice. The game does not show ads on Mac.
Children
The game is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has provided us information, contact us and we will help remove it.
Your choices
- Turn tracking off: iOS Settings › Privacy & Security › Tracking.
- Change ad consent: the game's Settings › Privacy choices (where the consent rules apply).
- Turn iCloud save off, or erase all game data: the game's Settings.
- Remove the between-halls ads: Quiet Halls in the Treasury.
Changes
If this policy changes, the new version is published at the address above with a new effective date.
