Privacy should not be a maze
Chicken Farm Monster designed Chicken Farm Monster so you can play without making an account or providing an email address. This policy explains the limited situations in which information is handled and the choices available to you.
Information we handle
The game is designed to work without a user account. This website uses only the necessary cookies described below and does not load third-party analytics or advertising tags. Depending on the features you choose to use, the following information may be handled:
- Support messages — when you email us or submit the website contact form, we receive the name, email address, subject, and message you choose to send.
- Website cookies — the cfm_lang cookie remembers your chosen website language for one year. A session cookie is used only on the contact page to protect the form against misuse and expires with your session.
- On-device game data — game progress, settings, and virtual-currency balances may be stored on your device so the game can work.
- Apple services — if you choose to use iCloud or Game Center, Apple processes the information needed to sync progress or provide leaderboards under Apple’s own terms and privacy policy. We do not receive your Apple ID or Apple password.
- Purchases and optional rewarded advertising — Apple processes in-app purchase transactions. If you choose to watch an optional rewarded ad, the advertising provider may process device, advertising, and ad-interaction information under its own privacy policy.
How we use information
We use information only to operate, secure, improve, and support Chicken Farm Monster and this website.
- To reply to support requests, investigate bugs, and protect the contact form from abuse.
- To save progress on your device and, if you enable it, make iCloud sync and Game Center features available.
- To deliver purchases, optional advertising rewards, and the game features you ask to use.
- To meet legal obligations and protect the game, players, and our rights.
When information is shared
We do not sell personal information or use your support details for unrelated marketing. Any provider that handles personal information for us must protect it to at least the standard described in this policy and as applicable law requires. We share information only when it is necessary for the situations below:
- With Apple, when you use iCloud, Game Center, or an in-app purchase.
- With an advertising provider only when you choose to use an optional rewarded-ad feature.
- With service providers that help us operate support or website security, under appropriate confidentiality obligations.
- When required by law, to respond to a valid legal request, or to protect people, property, or the security of the service.
Your choices and requests
You choose whether to use optional iCloud, Game Center, purchase, and rewarded-ad features. You can also change the permissions available to the app through iOS Settings.
- You can avoid Game Center by not signing in, and avoid iCloud sync by turning it off in your Apple settings.
- You can contact us to request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information from a support message, subject to applicable law and our need to retain limited records for legal or security reasons.
- Purchase, Game Center, iCloud, and advertising settings are controlled through Apple, iOS, or the relevant provider; their policies explain the options they offer.
How long we keep information
We keep support correspondence only for as long as reasonably needed to respond, resolve an issue, maintain security, or meet a legal obligation. On-device game data remains under your control until you delete the app or clear its data. Apple and advertising providers retain information under their own policies.
Security
We use reasonable technical and organisational safeguards for the information under our control. No internet or storage system is completely secure, so please do not send passwords, payment-card numbers, or other sensitive information through the contact form or support email.
Children’s privacy
Chicken Farm Monster does not require a child or adult to create an account to play. If a parent or guardian believes a child has sent us personal information through support, they can contact us and ask us to review or delete it, where applicable.
International processing
Information may be processed in the places where we or the providers described above operate. Those places may have privacy laws different from the laws where you live. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards for such transfers.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy when the game, website, or applicable law changes. We will post the updated version here and revise the “Last updated” date. If a change is material, we will provide additional notice when required by law.
