MadeTonight Studio (“MadeTonight”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) respects your privacy. This policy explains how we handle information when you use GrubSpire, our website, cloud-save services, leaderboards, multiplayer features, and global chat.
1. Information we collect
Account information
If you sign in with Google, we receive the account identifier supplied by Google and may receive your email address, display name, and profile picture. We do not receive your Google password.
Game and service data
We process cloud-save snapshots, game progress, inventory and settings included in your save, leaderboard scores, match results, multiplayer activity, chat messages, chat reports, and moderation records. Cloud save is intended as a backup and synchronization service.
Technical and advertising data
Our services may process IP address, device or session identifiers, request logs, timestamps, diagnostics, and security events. If ads are enabled, Google Mobile Ads and its partners may process device identifiers, approximate location derived from IP address, ad interactions, diagnostics, and consent choices according to their own policies.
2. How we use information
- Provide authentication, cloud saves, restoration, leaderboards, multiplayer, and global chat.
- Maintain service reliability, prevent abuse, investigate cheating, and enforce community rules.
- Display and measure advertising where enabled.
- Respond to support, privacy, and account-deletion requests.
- Comply with legal obligations and protect users, MadeTonight, and the public.
3. Sharing and third parties
We do not sell your personal information. We may share information with service providers that help us host, secure, maintain, analyze, or advertise our services; with Google when you use Google Sign-In or Google Mobile Ads; and when required by law or necessary to protect rights and safety.
Google’s handling of data is described in its Privacy Policy and How Google uses information from sites or apps.
4. Public features
Your display name, leaderboard position, score, and messages sent to global chat may be visible to other players. Do not include personal or sensitive information in public messages. We may remove messages, mute accounts, or retain reports to keep the community safe.
5. Retention
We retain account and game data while your account is active or as needed to provide the service. Global chat messages are generally retained for up to 30 days, while moderation and security records may be kept longer where reasonably necessary. Cloud-save revision history may be limited to recent versions. Data may be retained longer where required for security, dispute resolution, fraud prevention, or legal compliance.
6. Your choices and account deletion
You may choose not to sign in and use supported offline features. You may also request access, correction, or deletion of your account and associated game data. A deletion request removes your account profile, active cloud saves, leaderboard records, and chat data linked to the account, except limited records we must retain for legal, fraud-prevention, security, or dispute purposes.
Request account deletion →7. Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational safeguards designed to protect information, including encrypted transport for production services. No online service can guarantee absolute security, and cloud saves should not be your only copy of important data.
8. Children’s privacy
GrubSpire is not directed to children under 13, or the minimum digital-consent age in their country. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children below that age. A parent or guardian who believes a child provided information may contact us to request deletion.
9. International processing
Your information may be processed in countries other than your own. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards for international transfers.
10. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as our games, services, or legal requirements change. We will publish the revised policy here and update the date above. Material changes may also be communicated in the game or through another appropriate channel.
