The Eclipse War privacy policy

Last updated: 29 October 2026

This covers the Android app and the web version of The Eclipse War, made by Insomniac’s Dream ("we"). In short: we have no accounts of our own, no analytics and no game server, and we don't sell anything about you. The Android app uses Google Play to sell the unlocks for Acts II and III, Google AdMob for optional adverts before hints in the free part of the game, and, if you sign in, Google Play Games to keep a copy of your save in your Google account. The web version has none of these, and never sends your play or your saves anywhere.

Your saves and settings

Your progress (where you are, what you've chosen, the names in your Ledger, how grey the cat is, and how long you've played) and your sound settings are saved on your own device, in the app's or browser's local storage. Uninstalling the app, or clearing its storage or the website's site data, deletes them. They're never sent to us. In the Android app, if you sign in to Google Play Games, a copy of your progress is also kept in your Google account (see below); your sound settings stay on the device.

Google Play Games in the Android app

Signing in to Google Play Games is optional. If you've used Play Games before, it may sign you in automatically when the game starts; otherwise the title screen offers Sign in with Google Play Games. Signed in, the app saves a copy of your progress to Play Games Saved Games in your Google account, so you can carry on on another device or after reinstalling. The copy is labelled with your chapter and play time. The app shows your Play Games name on the title screen and uses nothing else from your account.

Google stores the copy under its own privacy policy. We have no access to it: only the game, on a device signed in to your account, can read it. To remove it, delete the game's data from your Play Games settings (in the Play Games app or at play.google.com/games), or delete your Play Games profile. If you don't sign in, nothing goes to Play Games.

The web version

The browser version has no adverts, no purchases, no cookies and no analytics, and its fonts and sounds are part of the game, so it fetches nothing from other companies. Our hosting provider may keep standard web server logs (IP address, time and pages requested) for a short time to run and protect the site.

Purchases in the Android app

The Prologue and Act I are free. Acts II and III can be unlocked with one-off in-app purchases through Google Play. Google handles the payment under its own terms and privacy policy, and we never see your card or bank details. The app asks Google Play which unlocks your Google account owns, so they can be restored on a new phone. We receive Google's standard purchase records (such as an order number, the product, the date and the country), which we use only to provide the unlock and handle refunds.

See the Google Payments privacy notice.

Adverts in the Android app

In the free part of the app, asking the cat for a hint offers a short advert first. It only plays if you choose to watch it, and there are no other adverts anywhere in the game. Buying either act removes them. The web version has none.

The adverts come from Google AdMob. To choose and measure them and to prevent fraud, Google's ad software collects information from your device, such as its advertising ID, your IP address (and the rough location it suggests), device and app details, and how you interact with the adverts.

In the UK, the EEA and Switzerland, the app asks for your consent before showing personalised adverts. If you say no, you'll still be offered adverts, but they won't be personalised. You can change your choice at any time from the game's Menu under Ad privacy choices. Anywhere, you can reset or delete your phone's advertising ID in its settings (Settings → Privacy → Ads).

See how Google uses information from apps that use its services and the Google Privacy Policy.

Children

The game is a dark fantasy story with violence, death, blood and frightening scenes. It isn't aimed at children, and we don't knowingly collect anything from them.

Your choices and your rights

Everything the game stores is on your own device, or in your own Google account if you sign in to Play Games, so deleting the app or its data, and the game's saved data in Play Games, removes it. For data Google holds about you, use your Google account's privacy settings. Under UK data protection law you can ask us about any personal data we hold, such as purchase records, and ask us to delete it. Email contact@insomniacsdream.co.uk. You can also complain to the UK Information Commissioner's Office (ico.org.uk).

Changes

If this policy changes, the new version will be posted here with a new date.
