Scent Trail – Privacy Policy

Developer: Ocean Glide Ltd · App: Scent Trail (Android, package dev.jeffauguste.scenttrail) · Effective: 9 November 2026

The short version

Scent Trail has no accounts and we do not collect your personal information. Your game progress stays on your device. The game sells optional in-game items through Google Play. Google, not us, processes the data that purchases need, as described below.

Information stored on your device

The game saves your progress, campaigns, Home Nest, coins, diamonds, elixir, upgrades, gear, purchases you made, battle replays and settings in the app's local storage on your device. It also keeps, on the device only, the dates you accepted the licence agreement and a crash log that helps us fix bugs if you choose to send it to us. This data never leaves your device unless you send it yourself, and we cannot see it. It is deleted when you uninstall the app.

Base codes you share

Colony Wars lets you copy a text code of your base and give it to a friend, and paste a friend's code to play a friendly battle. The game never sends these codes anywhere: you copy and share them yourself, by whatever app you choose.

Purchases (Google Play)

Optional purchases (coins, diamonds, elixir, packs and Remove Ads) are paid through Google Play Billing. Google handles the payment; we never receive your card or payment details. The game only receives a confirmation of which item was bought so it can deliver it. Google Play keeps a record of your purchases so you can restore one-time items.

Advertising

This version of the game shows no ads. A later version will offer optional rewarded videos and, after the first levels, some ads between levels, from Google AdMob. Before that version is released, this page will be updated with what Google AdMob collects (such as the device's advertising ID, IP address and approximate location) and how to change your choices.

Information we collect

None ourselves. The app does not access your contacts, camera, microphone, photos, files or location. It uses the internet only for Google Play purchases; the game itself works offline.

Feedback you choose to send

From time to time the game asks “How are we doing so far?”, and its main screen has a “Contact our developers directly” button. Both open a short form with a star rating and an optional comment. Only if you press Send, the game sends to Ocean Glide, over an encrypted (HTTPS) connection: your star rating, your comment (if you wrote one), the name and version of the game, the language of the game and the platform (for example Android). It does not send your name, e-mail address, advertising ID or any other device identifier, and our server does not store your IP address. If there is no connection when you press Send, the feedback waits on your device and is sent when the connection returns.

The feedback is kept on our server (Google Cloud, European Union) and forwarded to our own e-mail inbox. We use it only to understand what players think and to improve our games. We do not sell it or share it with anyone, and we keep it for no longer than three years. Sending feedback is optional: nothing is sent unless you press Send. Please do not write personal information in your comment. Because feedback is not linked to you, we cannot tell which feedback is yours; to ask us to delete a comment, write to us with its approximate date and content and we will delete it.

Children

Scent Trail is intended for players aged 13 and over and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. Parents and guardians can contact us at the address below with any question.

Google Play

The app is distributed through Google Play. Google may collect information such as installation statistics and crash reports under its own privacy policy. That data is not shared with us in a form that identifies you.

Changes to this policy

If we change how the app handles data, we will update this page and the effective date above.
