Idle Needle in a Haystack

Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 4, 2026

This policy describes the game's currently documented local functionality. Google Play Games and advertising integrations are under development; the policy will be updated and verified against the final released Android package before those services launch.

1. Who is responsible

Scamorzone is the developer name used for Idle Needle in a Haystack. For questions about this policy or how information is handled, contact angelomarcarelli@gmail.com.

2. Progress saved on your device

The game stores gameplay progress locally, including your in-game currency, unlocked tunnels, upgrades, collected and equipped needles, quests, and progress related to offline earnings. Local save files support resuming gameplay. Local data remains within the game's device storage unless a future cloud sync feature is enabled.

3. Google Play Games and cloud saving

Google Play Games sign-in and cloud save are planned features. When enabled, authentication and saved-game synchronization will be provided through Google's services. Relevant account identifiers and game progress may then be processed by Google according to its applicable terms and privacy policy. We will revise this policy to reflect the final implementation before enabling these features.

4. Advertising

Google AdMob advertising is planned but is not confirmed as enabled in the currently documented build. If advertising is added, the game may use device identifiers and related information as described in the applicable Google advertising documentation. Where legally required, users will be presented with appropriate consent or privacy controls before processing requiring consent takes place. This policy will be updated before ad-enabled releases.

5. Analytics and third parties

This website does not intentionally install analytics trackers, advertising cookies, or third-party web fonts. Hosting providers may process limited technical request data (such as IP address, browser information and request timestamps) to deliver and secure this website. No account or payment data is collected directly through this website.

6. Data sharing and retention

Local save files normally remain on the device and may be removed when the app or its data is deleted, subject to the device's backup behavior. Future Google Play Games cloud saves will be managed through Google's service, with retention and deletion details to be specified when launched. We do not operate a direct game-account database as part of the currently documented build.

7. Your choices and rights

For privacy questions, requests, or concerns, contact angelomarcarelli@gmail.com. Where data is controlled by a separate provider such as Google, its own privacy controls may apply. Applicable privacy rights depend on your location and the type of data processed.

8. Children

This game is in development. Its final target-audience classification and any child-specific advertising or privacy requirements will be established before public release.

9. Changes

This policy may be updated when new services launch or data-processing practices change. The latest published version will be available at this page, with its revision date.
