Age of IterationAge of Iteration privacy policy
Age of Iteration is a game published by Loomfield Labs LLC ("we"), which is responsible for this policy and for the app. In short: the game collects no personal data for us and makes no network calls of its own, and the only data that leaves your phone goes to Google, through Google Play Games and Google Play, as described below. This website counts its visits, as its own section says.
What we collect
Nothing. The game has no account of its own, no advertising, no analytics and no crash reporting, and it does not send anything to us or to any server we run. It asks for no permissions to read your location, contacts, photos, microphone or files, and it does not use an advertising ID.
What Google Play Games collects
The Android app includes the Google Play Games Services software from Google, which starts when the app launches. Google collects, under the Google Privacy Policy:
- your Play Games profile identity, your gamer name and avatar, if you have a Play Games profile;
- the achievements you unlock in the game, stored with your Play Games profile;
- a copy of your game while you are signed in to Play Games, stored with your Play Games profile so another device signed in to it can continue your world;
- analytics and diagnostic data that Google uses to keep Play Games working and to improve it.
Google sends this data encrypted, over HTTPS. The game uses Play Games for achievements and the cloud save; it uses no friends list. We do not receive this data beyond what Play Games shows every game you play. You can play the whole game without a Play Games profile, and you can turn off automatic sign-in in the Google Play Games settings.
Your saves stay with you
Your game is saved in the app's own storage on your phone. We never receive a copy. While you are signed in to Google Play Games, the game also keeps a copy in your own Play Games profile, not with us; without Play Games sign-in there is no cloud copy, and deleting this game's data in your Play Games profile deletes it. If you use Export save, the file goes wherever you choose to send it, and nowhere else. Uninstalling the app, or clearing its storage in your phone's settings, deletes your saves from the phone.
If Android backup is on for your phone, Android copies the app's storage, including your saves, to a private area of your own Google account, so a new phone can restore your game. That copy is Google's Android backup service, not ours; we cannot see it, and on Android 9 and later it is encrypted with your phone's screen lock. You can turn backup off, or delete backups, in your phone's backup settings or in your Google Account.
Reminders stay on your phone
If you allow them, the game schedules its come-back reminders on your phone itself. Nothing about them is sent anywhere, and you can turn them off in the game's Settings or your phone's settings.
Purchases go through Google Play
The one-time purchase that unlocks the full game is handled by Google Play. Google processes the payment under its own terms and privacy policy; we never see your name, email address or payment details. The app checks on your phone whether the unlock has been bought, and does not send that to us.
Deleting your data
We hold no data about you, so there is nothing for us to delete. To delete what Google holds:
- your Play Games profile, or this game's data within it, in the Google Play Games app or at play.google.com/games/profile;
- your Google Account data, including Android backups, at myaccount.google.com.

This website
Everything above is about the game. This website, ageofiteration.com, counts its visits so we can see how people find it and which pages they read. It shows no ads, uses no third-party fonts, and never uses what it counts for advertising or to identify anyone.
It counts them with Vercel Web Analytics and Speed Insights, from our host, Vercel. They set no cookies. They record the page, the site that sent you, your country, your browser, operating system and kind of device, and how fast the page loaded. A visit is told apart from the next by a hash of the request that Vercel discards within a day, under the Vercel Web Analytics privacy policy.
Our host, Vercel, also keeps standard server logs of each request, such as the IP address, the page asked for and the browser's user agent, for a short time to run and secure the site. Those logs are Vercel's, under the Vercel Privacy Policy, and we do not use them to identify or follow anyone.
Children
The game is not directed at children under 13, and we collect no personal information from anyone, including children.
Changes
If the game ever starts collecting more data, we will update this page and the app's Google Play listing before that release, and change the date above.
