Tonk! Cricket: Privacy Policy

Effective: 23 October 2026

Tonk! Cricket ("the game") is made by Muppet Dev ("we", "us"). This policy explains what information the game uses, why, and the choices you have.

The short version

You don't need an account. We never ask for your name, email or contact details.
Your careers, settings and progress are saved on your phone.
The game shows optional rewarded ads through Google AdMob. Google may collect information from your device for those ads, and asks for your consent where the law requires it.
The game uses Google Analytics for Firebase to count how the game is played (for example, that a match was started). It does not use your advertising ID for this, and where the law requires it, it only runs with your consent.
Signing in to Google Play Games is optional. If you do, Google keeps your achievements, leaderboard scores and a cloud copy of your saves in your Google account.
Reminders are scheduled on your phone. Nothing is sent from a server.
Purchases are handled by Google Play. We never see your payment details.
We don't sell your information.
If you report a problem, the game makes a file about your game that you choose to send us. Nothing is sent automatically.

1. Information stored on your device

The game saves your careers, settings, records and progress on your device, including any names you type into the game (for example, your player's name). This information stays on your device and is not sent to us.

Phone backup: if your phone's Google backup is turned on, Android may include the game's saves in that backup, so they can be restored when you set up a new phone. This backup is handled by Google under Google's privacy policy. You can turn it off in your phone's settings.

2. Advertising (Google AdMob)

Ads in the game are optional. You choose to watch a rewarded ad in return for in-game match tickets. There are no banner ads and no ads you are forced to watch.

The ads are provided by Google AdMob. When an ad is requested or shown, Google may collect and process information from your device, such as:

your device's advertising ID;
your IP address, which can indicate your approximate location;
information about your device and the app;
how you interact with the ad.

Google uses this information to show and measure ads and to prevent fraud.

Your choices:

In the European Economic Area, the UK and Switzerland, the game asks for your consent before personalised ads are shown, using Google's consent form.
In some US states, you can opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of your personal information through the same privacy options.
You can change your choice at any time in the game: open THE SHOP (or Settings) and tap PRIVACY OPTIONS.
You can also reset your advertising ID, or turn off personalised ads, in your phone's settings.

Ads in the game are limited to content suitable for a general audience.

3. Analytics (Google Analytics for Firebase)

To learn which parts of the game are played and where players get stuck, the game sends a small number of game events to Google Analytics for Firebase, a Google service. For example: the tutorial was finished, a match or career was started or finished, a season ended, an ad was watched, a purchase was made (which item, never your payment details), the match tickets ran out, or the Daily Challenge was played.

With those events, Firebase collects:

an app instance ID, a random number for this install of the game (not your advertising ID: the game switches that off for analytics);
your device model, Android version, the game's version and your language;
your approximate location (country and region), worked out from your IP address;
when and how long the game is used.

Google keeps this information for up to 14 months and gives us reports about groups of players. These reports don't identify you, and we don't use analytics for advertising.

In the European Economic Area, the UK and Switzerland, analytics only run if you agree to it in the consent message when the game starts, and you can change your choice at any time under PRIVACY OPTIONS. Elsewhere, analytics run when you play.

4. Google Play Games (optional)

The game can sign you in to Google Play Games. If you are signed in, Google Play Games uses your Play Games player ID and gamer name for:

achievements;
leaderboards, where your gamer name and score can be seen by other players, depending on your Play Games profile settings;
cloud saves: a copy of your game's saves is kept in your Google account, so your careers can come back on a new phone.

This information is held by Google under Google's privacy policy. We don't receive your email address or your Google account details. You can sign out, change your profile's visibility, or delete your Play Games data in the Google Play Games app or your Google Account settings.

5. Reminders

If you allow notifications, the game schedules reminders on your phone, at most one a day and never at night (for example, when your match tickets are back, or your daily reward is ready). They are created by the game on your phone; we don't send notifications from a server. You can turn reminders off in the game's Settings or in your phone's settings.

6. Purchases (Google Play)

Purchases are processed by Google Play under Google's terms and privacy policy. The game only receives confirmation of what you have bought, so it can unlock it and restore it on a new phone. We never receive your card or payment details.

7. Sharing from the game

If you use photo mode or share a clip, the game creates the picture or video on your phone and hands it to the app you choose. We don't upload anything.

Bug reports: if you tap REPORT A PROBLEM, the game makes a report file on your phone. It contains your phone's model, Android version and screen size; the game's settings and saves (including any names you typed into the game); a record of what happened in the game in the last few minutes (screens, taps on the game's buttons and balls played, but never anything you typed except the optional note you add to the report); and a screenshot of the game. Nothing is sent automatically. The file goes only where you choose to send it, for example by email or a chat app, and we use it only to find and fix the problem.

8. Children

The game is intended for players aged 13 and over and is not directed at children under 13. We don't knowingly collect personal information from children.

9. What we receive

We don't run servers for the game, and we don't receive personal information from it, except a bug report you choose to send us (section 7). Google AdMob, Google Analytics for Firebase and Google Play give us only summary reports, such as the number of ads shown, how many players finished the tutorial, earnings and purchases. These reports don't identify you.

10. Deleting your data

To delete all game data on your phone, clear the app's storage or uninstall the game.
To delete your achievements, scores and cloud saves, use the Google Play Games app (Settings, then delete your Play Games account or this game's data).
To manage other information held by Google, use your Google Account settings.

11. Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, we'll update this page and the date at the top.
