1. Overview
This policy describes current mobile releases of Forgedoku, published by Lowkey Forge, MB, a legal entity registered in Lithuania. The core game works offline. Forgedoku does not provide a Lowkey Forge account, and Lowkey Forge does not operate a gameplay or profile backend.
Most game information is stored locally on your device. Forgedoku contacts Google for advertising consent and setup only after an active profile is resolved. A sole saved profile is activated automatically; when several profiles exist, no profile is active until one is chosen. Google may also process information when an advertisement is later requested. Apple or Google processes an optional purchase or native review. Forgedoku does not send your profile or gameplay data to a Lowkey Forge-operated server. If you contact Lowkey Forge, we receive the support information described in Section 9. The optional usage analytics described below is separate: if enabled, Google will process usage events for Lowkey Forge, and its device owner preference will apply independently of the active profile.
2. Data Stored on Your Device
Forgedoku supports up to six local forge profiles. A profile includes its nickname, saved age-range choice, Forge Sigil, creation and update times, completed campaign and Free Forge progress, puzzle results and mastery, rewards and economy balances, Kingdom and customization state, tutorial and library state, audio settings, rewarded-ad reward state, and related timestamps.
Device-level records can also include advertising and consent preferences, rewarded-ad completion times used to enforce frequency limits, native review-prompt engagement count and request history, update-reminder dismissal times, and a local Supporter Pack entitlement record with a transaction identifier and verification times.
These local profile and game-save records are not uploaded to Lowkey Forge, MB, and we cannot inspect or change them remotely. The separate, limited usage events for optional analytics are described below.
3. Device Backups and Earlier Cloud Saves
On iOS and Android, system backups or device transfers may include app data, such as preferences and saved progress, depending on the device, app configuration, and backup settings. These services are governed by Apple’s or Google’s terms.
Any cloud saves created by earlier versions remain under your Apple or Google account. This version does not restore or manage those saves; you can manage them through the relevant platform’s account controls.
4. Saved Age Choice and Advertising
Each forge profile must save one of three choices: 13–17, 18 or older, or Prefer not to say. The choice can be changed in profile settings. Forgedoku does not ask for or store a birth date. Forgedoku is intended for ages 13 and older and is not an under-13 or Kids Category product. Prefer not to say does not assert that the player is a child; it applies the strictest advertising treatment.
- 13–17: teen treatment, non-personalized ads, and a PG content ceiling;
- 18 or older: unspecified/adult treatment, non-personalized ads, and a PG ceiling;
- Prefer not to say: child treatment, non-personalized ads, and a G ceiling; and
- No active profile: no advertising consent or ad SDK setup, banners, or rewarded offers.
All ads requested by Forgedoku are non-personalized and use the G or PG ceiling shown above. Forgedoku uses only anchored banner ads and optional rewarded ads; it does not use interstitial, rewarded-interstitial, app-open, or native ad placements. Banner ads do not unlock until the player reaches the relevant progression milestone, and they appear only when ads are otherwise available and the Supporter Pack is not active. They occupy a dedicated top rail, separate from game content and controls.
On a cold start, Forgedoku keeps a branded, non-interactive loading view visible while it prepares the initial route data and artwork, then reveals the loaded game view and restores focus to its content or required dialog. An unavailable asset cannot leave the player trapped on that loading view. Rewarded ads also depend on progression and are requested only after the player chooses an eligible reward and confirms that they want to watch. They are never shown automatically. Closing an ad does not prevent play, and no reward is granted unless Google reports that it was earned.
After any profile becomes active, Forgedoku applies its age treatment and rating before contacting Google for consent and advertising setup, even if banners have not unlocked and the player has not requested a rewarded ad. Google’s consent tools may then present a privacy choice. When Google requires ongoing privacy options, Forgedoku shows an Ad privacy control in Settings. Ad availability can also depend on connectivity, region, frequency limits, Google inventory, saved format choices, and the child-serving release gate.
5. Information Processed by Google for Ads
When any profile becomes active, Forgedoku contacts the Google Mobile Ads SDK for consent and advertising setup. During that setup, and when an advertisement is later requested, the SDK may automatically collect, process, and share information for advertising, analytics, fraud prevention, and service performance. According to Google’s current Android and iOS disclosures, this may include:
- IP address, which may be used to estimate the device’s general location;
- product interactions, such as app launches, taps, advertisements viewed, and video views;
- diagnostic and performance information, such as non-user-related crash logs, launch time, hang rate, and energy use;
- device, app, account, or advertising identifiers, depending on platform availability and settings; and
- advertising data, such as which advertisements were shown.
Google describes these practices in its Android data disclosure and iOS data disclosure. Google’s SDK practices and disclosures may change over time. Forgedoku does not send your local puzzle state, Kingdom state, balances, or saved profile age choice to Lowkey Forge through the advertising feature.
6. Supporter Pack Purchase
Forgedoku offers an optional one-time Supporter Pack through the Apple App Store or Google Play. The platform store supplies the product and purchase result. Forgedoku checks the store entitlement on the device and locally stores whether the pack is owned, its transaction identifier, verification and check times, and whether reconciliation is required.
A separate Restore purchases action asks the current app-store account for an existing entitlement. Apple or Google processes the purchase, store account, receipt or purchase token, and payment details. Lowkey Forge does not receive your card number, billing address, store password, or other payment credentials through Forgedoku. Provider details are available from Apple’s StoreKit documentation and Google’s Play billing documentation.
7. Native Review Prompts
After selected positive gameplay milestones, Forgedoku may ask the device’s native app store to present a review prompt. The app stores an engagement count, the last request date, and the app version last requested so prompts can be limited. Forgedoku does not include gameplay data in the request. Any rating or review you choose to submit is handled by Apple or Google under the platform provider’s terms.
8. Update Checks and Other Services
Forgedoku checks lowkeyforge.com for app updates. The request does not include profile, gameplay, or purchase data. The website’s hosting service receives network information, such as your IP address and standard request headers, and may process access logs.
Public releases before November 1, 2026 do not include the optional usage analytics described below. Google’s processing inside the Mobile Ads SDK is described in Section 5 and is not a Lowkey Forge gameplay analytics backend. Operating-system and app-store services may process their own operational data under their privacy terms.
Optional usage analytics
Optional usage analytics is available in current iOS and Android releases of Forgedoku from November 1, 2026. Earlier public releases do not collect this usage analytics or show analytics reminders. The behavior below applies to analytics-enabled releases.
In an analytics-enabled release, Google Analytics for Firebase helps Lowkey Forge understand app usage and improve the game. Collection is off until you enable Usage analytics in Settings or choose Enable analytics in a reminder. The app remains usable with analytics off. Gameplay and rewards do not depend on analytics consent. Browser builds do not collect this analytics.
A saved choice is respected on later launches. If there is no saved choice, or the app cannot read a valid choice, collection stays off. Activity while analytics is off is not queued for later upload when you enable it.
The choice belongs to the device owner and applies to this app on this device, including all local profiles. It is stored in app preferences with the time of the choice, separately from player profiles and game saves. Switching or deleting a profile does not change it, and game save import does not grant consent. When enabled, analytics can run before a profile is selected. There is no account or cross-device preference sync.
In an analytics-enabled release, if you have not made a choice, a reminder may appear after seven days. Reminders appear on navigation screens outside active play and do not block navigation. Not now leaves collection off and postpones another reminder for at least 90 days. A saved enabled or disabled choice stops reminders. No thanks saves a disabled choice, as does turning analytics off in Settings. You can change the choice later in Settings. Reminder dates are stored locally and refusing does not send an analytics event. Unavailable analytics or an unreadable preference also prevents reminders.
The app's own events describe approved screen visits and game starts and results, with a game mode and, where applicable, an authored level, difficulty, or board size . They do not include profile names or identifiers, age choices, raw navigation addresses, saved boards, puzzle seeds, purchase receipts, transaction identifiers, or free text.
Firebase also generates app-instance and session identifiers and automatically measures activity such as first use, sessions, engagement, and app or operating-system updates. Its data can include app version, device model and operating-system information, language, and general location derived from network information. This information is not fully anonymous. Firebase's supporting libraries can also send platform and SDK-version diagnostics to operate the service. Depending on the platform and integration, Firebase can also measure advertising interactions and store purchases, including product, value, currency, and quantity. These automatic events are separate from our authored gameplay events. Advertising identifier collection, advertising personalization and sharing, and automatic native screen reporting are disabled for analytics. Google signals is off, so we do not use its signed-in Google-account features for cross-device measurement. We do not assign an analytics user ID or intentionally link players across our games.
Lowkey Forge, MB is responsible for this optional analytics processing. Google processes the analytics data on our behalf to provide reports that Lowkey Forge can access. Analytics data may be processed outside your country. Google's Analytics data protection information explains its processing role and links to its international transfer safeguards.
Turning analytics off stops future collection and clears unsent local analytics data. Settings reports a failure if the change cannot be completed and offers a retry. Withdrawal does not delete data already uploaded or recall a transmission already in progress. Deleting a local profile or uninstalling the app also does not delete previously uploaded analytics. While enabled, Firebase may buffer events offline and send them when connectivity returns. Analytics consent is separate from advertising consent and purchases; changing it does not change your advertising privacy choices or purchase entitlement.
Analytics uses consent as its basis. The Analytics property is configured to retain event-level and user-level data for 14 months. New activity does not reset the retention period for user identifiers. Google deletes expired data through its monthly deletion process. Standard aggregate reports are not covered by the same retention setting. We will update this page before any change to the collection default. Contact support@lowkeyforge.com about privacy or deletion requests; an email alone may not identify a Firebase app instance.
See Google's Firebase privacy information, automatic event descriptions, and retention controls. This website does not load the analytics SDK or track these page visits with it.
9. Support Requests
Forgedoku has no in-app support form and does not automatically transmit support information. If you contact us using your own email service, we receive the email address you use, the contents of your message, and any name, attachments, or technical details you choose to include. We use this information only to respond to and manage your support request. Our legal basis is taking steps at your request or performing our obligations to you where applicable, and our legitimate interest in providing and documenting support.
We use an email service provider to deliver and store messages sent to support@lowkeyforge.com. We remain responsible for personal data processed on our behalf and require providers to protect it consistently with this policy and applicable law. We do not sell support messages or use them for advertising.
We retain support correspondence only as long as reasonably necessary and never longer than five years after our last communication, unless a longer period is required by law or needed to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims. We may delete it sooner. You may request earlier deletion as described in Section 12.
10. Children’s Privacy
Forgedoku is intended for ages 13 and older. It does not require a Lowkey Forge account or ask for a birth date. A player who does not wish to disclose an age can choose Prefer not to say. That choice does not assert the player is a child; the profile receives child treatment, non-personalized G-rated banner and opt-in rewarded ads, and the strictest advertising safeguards. Profiles marked 13–17 receive teen treatment and profiles marked 18 or older receive unspecified/adult treatment; both receive only non-personalized ads with a PG ceiling. With no active profile, Google is not contacted for advertising and no ad is offered. Lowkey Forge does not receive the local game-save or profile records through the app. The separate device owner analytics choice applies to all local profiles and is described above.
If a child contacts us by email outside the app, we handle that message as described in Section 9. A parent or guardian may contact us to request its deletion.
11. Deleting Data
You can delete an individual forge profile or reset its progress with controls in the app. These actions affect only this device and do not change the device owner analytics choice. Clearing app storage or uninstalling Forgedoku removes local app data but may leave device backups, earlier cloud saves, app-store purchase records, and any previously uploaded analytics intact.
Lowkey Forge cannot remotely delete local data or data in your private platform account. You can manage platform saves and device backups through the controls Apple or Google makes available for your device and account. Restoring or removing a Supporter Pack entitlement is governed by the app store.
12. Your Rights
Lowkey Forge, MB does not hold or have access to your locally stored game data, device backups, or earlier cloud saves. You can exercise available controls for local data in the app and for backups, earlier cloud saves, advertising, app-store purchase, or review data through the relevant Apple or Google service. Lowkey Forge generally cannot identify that provider data from a support email.
For personal data we process, including support correspondence and optional analytics when available, you may, where applicable, request access, correction, deletion, restriction, or portability, or object to processing. You can withdraw analytics consent in Settings at any time. We may ask for information needed to verify your identity and identify the relevant data, and will respond without undue delay, normally within one month.
To exercise these rights, email support@lowkeyforge.com. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with Lithuania’s State Data Protection Inspectorate.
13. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy when Forgedoku or its privacy practices change. We will post the updated policy on this page, revise the effective date, and update applicable app store disclosures. If a future release adds or changes data collection, transmission, use, or sharing, we will update this policy before or when those practices begin and request consent where required.
