Privacy Policy - Honey Hive: Idle Bee Colony

Last updated: 4 July 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Honey Hive: Idle Bee Colony ("the Game", "we", "us"), developed by Rhys Oosterkamp, handles information when you play. By playing, you agree to this policy.

Summary

Honey Hive is a single-player idle game. We do not ask you to create an account, and we do not collect names, emails, or other personal contact details. Your progress is stored locally on your device. The Game shows optional rewarded ads and offers optional in-app purchases, handled by Google. Those Google services may collect limited device information as described below.

Information handled by the Game

Game save data (honey, levels, upgrades, settings) is stored locally on your device and, if you enable Google Play Games cloud save, in your Google account. The Game does not collect your name, email, phone number, contacts, photos, precise location, or microphone/camera data.

Information collected by third-party services

Google AdMob (ads) may collect a device advertising ID, approximate (non-precise) location, device information, and ad-interaction data to serve and measure optional rewarded ads. See https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads

Google Play Billing (in-app purchases) processes optional "Amber" purchases and shares purchase status with the Game. We never see or store your payment card details.

Google Play Services may collect diagnostic and crash information to keep the app stable. Data collected by these services is processed by Google - see https://policies.google.com/privacy

How this information is used

To display and measure optional advertisements; to process optional in-app purchases; and to diagnose crashes and improve stability. We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it except with the Google services above needed to run ads, purchases, and diagnostics.

Advertising choices

You can reset or limit ad personalisation any time in your device settings (Settings, Google, Ads on Android). Ads are optional and shown only when you choose to watch one for a reward.

Children's privacy

The Game is intended for a general audience aged 13 and over and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

Data retention and deletion

Game progress lives on your device; uninstalling removes local data. Because the Game has no user accounts, we hold no personal profile to delete. For data held by Google services, use Google's own controls (Ads settings, Play purchase history, Google account controls).

Security

Data transmitted by the Game's third-party services is encrypted in transit using industry-standard protocols.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by updating the date above.
