Privacy Policy
Effective as of February 16, 2026
Manu Games LLC ("we," "us," or "our") built Manu Idle (the "App") as a privacy-first experience for Apple users. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and how we protect it when you use the App.
We only use Apple's native frameworks, including CloudKit for optional cloud syncing of your game data. We do not collect, store, or process any user credentials, personal identifiers, or third-party data. Everything is handled securely within your personal iCloud account.
Information We Collect
We collect the absolute minimum data required to deliver the App's core features:
- Game and Character Data — To save and sync your character information (e.g., progress, settings, and customizations), the App uses Apple's CloudKit service. This data is stored exclusively in your private iCloud account and is encrypted end-to-end by Apple. We have no access to it.
- No Personal Information — We do not collect names, email addresses, phone numbers, location data, device identifiers (beyond what's needed for Apple's services), or any other personally identifiable information. Authentication is managed entirely by Apple via your Apple ID and iCloud.
- No Analytics or Tracking — We do not use any analytics tools, crash reporting, or tracking. There are no third-party libraries, SDKs, or services involved.
- Future Optional Features — We may add opt-in features like leaderboards or competitive leagues in the future. These would involve only minimal, non-personal data (e.g., anonymized scores or rankings) that you explicitly choose to share. You can opt out at any time through in-app settings, and we will never collect more than necessary.
We do not import or collect data from any external sources beyond what you actively save in the App.
How We Use Your Information
We use your information solely to:
- Enable seamless cloud syncing of your game data across your Apple devices (iPhone, iPad, Mac) via CloudKit.
- Provide and improve the App's core gameplay features.
- Support future optional features like leaderboards, only with your consent and always minimizing data use.
We never use your data for advertising, profiling, or any commercial purposes unrelated to the App.
Sharing and Disclosure of Information
- With Apple — Your game data is shared only with Apple through CloudKit for storage and syncing. Apple handles all security and access controls.
- No Third Parties — We do not sell, rent, share, or disclose your information to any third parties, advertisers, or partners. There are no data brokers or external vendors.
- Public Features (If Added) — For optional leaderboards, any shared data (e.g., a chosen display name or score) would be visible to other users only if you opt in. This is always under your control.
- Legal Requirements — We may disclose information if required by law, such as to comply with a court order or government request, but we will notify you where possible.
Data Security
Your data is protected by Apple's industry-leading security:
- CloudKit uses end-to-end encryption and is stored in your private iCloud database.
- We follow Apple's best practices for data handling, with no servers of our own.
- You control your data entirely through iCloud settings on your device.
Your Rights and Choices
You have full control over your data:
- View, Edit, or Delete — Manage or delete your game data anytime via your device's iCloud settings.
- Opt Out of Features — Disable cloud syncing or future leaderboards in the App's settings.
- For California Residents (CCPA/CPRA) — You have the right to know what personal information we collect (none, in this case), request deletion, and opt out of any "sales" (we do not sell data). Contact us to exercise these rights.
- For European Economic Area (EEA) Residents (GDPR) — You have rights to access, correct, erase, restrict, or port your data. We process data only as necessary for the App's functions, with your consent where applicable.
If you have questions about your rights, contact us (see below).
Children's Privacy
The App is designed for general audiences and does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and believe we have collected data from a child, please contact us immediately to delete it. We comply with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and similar laws.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this policy occasionally to reflect changes in the App or legal requirements. The "Effective Date" at the top will be updated. We will notify you of material changes via the App or a prominent notice. Your continued use of the App after changes means you accept the updated policy.
