Privacy Policy

Defend the Holidays — last updated 31 August 2026

Defend the Holidays is a single-player game. It has no accounts, no login, and no server of its own. Your progress is stored on your device and is never uploaded to us.

What we collect ourselves

Nothing. We do not operate a server, we do not receive your game data, and we cannot identify you. Your saved progress — boards cleared, stars, upgrades, settings and your daily streak — is written to your device's local storage and stays there. Deleting the app deletes it.

What our advertising partner collects

The game shows optional rewarded video ads. You are never required to watch one: every reward behind an ad is reachable by playing. Ads are served by Google AdMob, and when an ad is requested or shown, Google may collect and process the following:

Data	Why
Advertising identifier (IDFA), or a non-personalised equivalent	To select and measure ads
Device information — model, OS version, language, coarse region	To select appropriate ads and prevent fraud
Ad interaction — that an ad was requested, shown, or completed	To measure and pay for advertising

This data goes to Google, not to us. We see only anonymous, aggregated counts of how many ads were shown. Google's handling of it is governed by their own policy: How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services.

Your choices

We do not track you across other apps. This app never asks for permission to do so, and it does not receive the advertising identifier iOS uses for it. Ads you see are therefore not personalised on the basis of your activity in other companies' apps or websites.
In the EU, UK and Switzerland you are asked for your consent choices before any ad is loaded, and you can reopen that form at any time from Settings › Privacy inside the game.
Skip ads entirely. Never tap a watch-an-ad button. No ad is ever shown without you asking for one, and no content is locked behind one.

Children

This game is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. It is not published in the Kids Category.

Changes

If this policy changes, the date at the top of this page changes with it. A change that materially affects what is collected will be noted in the app's release notes.
