Copper Chest — Privacy Policy

Last updated: 13 September 2026

Short version: the game keeps nothing about you. It has no accounts, no analytics and no server of ours. It is free and carries advertising supplied by Google AdMob, and that ad network — not us — collects the device and advertising identifiers it needs to choose and measure an ad. Everything the game itself remembers stays on your phone.


Who we are

Copper Chest is published by Akshay Kotish & Co. Questions about this policy can be sent to connect@akshaykotish.com.

What the app stores on your device

Seven values, written only to the app's own storage on your phone:

Stored valueWhat it is
Best scoreYour highest score
Deepest pinsThe most pins you have set in one run
Chests openedA running total
Runs playedA running count
Sound on/offYour setting
Haptics on/offYour setting
Intro seenWhether the first-run hint has been shown

These never leave your device. There is no server to send them to. Uninstalling the app removes them permanently.

What we do not collect

Advertising

Copper Chest is free and shows one full-screen advertisement between runs — never during one. Those ads are served by Google AdMob. To select, deliver, cap and measure an ad, AdMob and its partners may collect and process:

This processing is carried out by Google as an independent controller under its own terms. See How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services and Google's AdMob data disclosure.

Your choices about ads

Network access

The released Android application declares android.permission.INTERNET and com.google.android.gms.permission.AD_ID. Both exist solely so an ad can be fetched. The game itself needs no network: with the device offline the lock plays exactly as it does online, and the ad is simply skipped.

Children

Copper Chest is rated for all ages but is not directed to children, and it is not enrolled in Google Play's Designed for Families programme. We collect no personal information from anyone, including children under 13. Because the app carries third-party advertising, parents who want an entirely ad-free environment should use their platform's parental controls.

Deleting your data

We hold nothing about you, so there is nothing on our side to delete. To remove the local values listed above, uninstall the app. To remove or reset the advertising identifier Google holds, use the Android or iOS controls described under “Your choices about ads”. See our data deletion page for the formal request route.

Changes

Version 1.0.0 of Copper Chest shipped with no advertising and no network permission. Advertising was introduced in the following release, and this policy was updated before that version shipped. Any future change to what is collected will be described here and in the release notes.
