Your stands, cash, stars, pets, styles, achievements and settings are saved on your device only. We don't run servers that store your game, and we can't see your progress. Deleting the app deletes this data.
Reminders (for example "your free gift is ready" or "your stands are full") are local notifications scheduled on your device. You can turn them off with the Notifications switch in the game's Shop tab, or in your device’s notification settings.
The only in-app purchase is "Remove Ads + 2× Forever", a one-time, optional upgrade. It is handled entirely by Apple (App Store) or Google (Google Play), and we never see your payment details. Everything else in the game is earned by playing. The store keeps a record of your purchase, so Restore Purchases brings it back on a new device signed in to the same Apple Account or Google account.
If you're signed in to Game Center, your achievements and leaderboard scores (franchise stars, best login streak and visitor tips) are sent to Apple's Game Center so you can see them and compare with friends. This is handled by Apple under its own privacy policy. If you're not signed in, nothing is sent. The Android version doesn't use an achievements service: achievements stay in the game.
The game offers optional short videos for bonuses, such as doubling a free gift or your welcome-back earnings, 2× profit for an hour, or a Time Skip. Nothing plays unless you tap to watch, and the game is fully playable without them. "Remove Ads + 2× Forever" gives these bonuses without a video.
Videos are provided by Google AdMob, and we request only content rated G (suitable for all ages). On a later visit, the game explains and then shows Apple's tracking prompt once. If you choose Allow, Google may use your device's advertising identifier to show ads matched to your interests. If you choose Ask App Not to Track, ads are not personalized and the advertising identifier is not used. You can change this any time in iOS Settings > Privacy & Security > Tracking. On Android, Google may use your device’s advertising ID unless you delete it or opt out of personalized ads in your device’s Settings > Privacy > Ads (or Google > Ads).
To show and measure a video, Google may collect:
| Data | Why |
|---|---|
| The advertising identifier (on iPhone, only if you allowed tracking; otherwise an identifier specific to this app) | Delivering ads (and, with your permission, matching them to your interests) and preventing fraud |
| Device type and OS version | Delivering the video |
| Approximate location derived from your IP address | Showing ads that make sense for your country |
| Video interactions (loaded, watched, tapped) | Measuring ads and paying the reward |
| Crash and performance information from the ad software | Keeping ads working |
We don't link this data to your identity. Google's use of it is described in How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services and the Google Privacy Policy.
Where the law requires it, Google's consent message appears when you first open the game, and ads load only after you answer. You can change your choice at any time from the Shop tab, using "Ad Privacy".
Citrus Empire Idle is made to be fun for all ages. We don't knowingly collect personal information from anyone, including children: there is no sign-up, chat or sharing in the game, and only ads rated for general audiences are requested.
If this policy changes, we'll update it here and change the effective date above. For questions, email citrusempire.support@dilloncain.com.
