Privacy policy

Last updated: 20 October 2026. KConsulting, France. [email protected]

In short

Towndom asks for no email and no password: just a nickname. The game server keeps a technical identifier for your install, that nickname, and your game (shares held, treasury, level, rank) so the game works and remembers you between sessions. The app optionally shows rewarded ads, served by Google AdMob: see “Advertising” below. It also sends anonymous usage statistics, which you can turn off: see “Anonymous usage statistics”.

What the game server keeps

To run the game, the server ties to an install identifier: your nickname, your shares and treasury, your place in leagues and leaderboards, your badges and missions, and the history of your in-app purchases (a transaction id, never your card details). No email address, no real name, no precise location is ever asked for.

This identifier is not an account in the usual sense: there is nothing to confirm by email, and uninstalling the app does not automatically erase the server-side game until the account expires or a deletion request is made (see “Your rights”).

In-app purchases

Purchases (écus, the no-ads pass, the premium Road Book track) go entirely through your store’s system: StoreKit (Apple) on iPhone, Google Play Billing on Android. Apple or Google handles the payment and payment methods; Towndom never sees your card number, only the confirmation that a purchase happened.

Advertising

Ads are always rewarded and optional: never on launch, never interstitial, never during a share purchase. They are served by Google AdMob. Before the first ad, a consent form (UMP, GDPR-compliant) appears: you choose what advertising may use, and you can revisit that choice at any time in Profile, “Ad choices”. On iPhone, iOS also asks whether the app may track your activity: you can say no, the app works the same, with the same rewards.

To serve an ad, Google receives technical data: the device advertising identifier, IP address (so an approximate location), device model and system version, and your interactions with the ad. It is used for delivery, measurement and, if you allow it, personalisation. Google publishes what it does with this data at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.

Anonymous usage statistics

To learn which screens are used and where the game gets in the way, the app sends anonymous usage statistics to GameAnalytics, a measurement service for games: screens opened and buttons used (buying or selling shares, with the amount rounded to a band; an in-app purchase; an ad watched), session length, device model, system and app versions, and an identifier picked at random by the app when it is installed. Never your nickname, the towns you play, your location, the device advertising identifier, or anything you type. Like any online service, GameAnalytics receives the connection’s IP address, which it uses to work out the country.

These statistics are only used to improve the game: they are not tied to your game on our server and are not used for advertising. Where consent is required (in the European Union in particular), they are only sent if the choice made in the privacy form covers storage on the device and audience measurement. You can turn them off at any time in Profile, “Anonymous usage statistics”: anything not yet sent is then erased from the phone. Deleting your account also replaces the random identifier.

What never leaves our servers

  • Your payment methods: handled only by Apple (iPhone) or Google (Android).
  • Your real name or address: never asked for.
  • Your game is never sold or shared with a third party for commercial purposes.

Children

Towndom is not specifically aimed at children and does not collect more data from them. The ads it shows are limited to general-audience content.

Your rights

You can request access to, correction of, or deletion of the data tied to your nickname by writing to the address below with your in-game nickname. For advertising, review your consent in Profile, “Ad choices”; for statistics, turn off “Anonymous usage statistics” in the same place; and reset or remove the advertising identifier in your iPhone or Android phone settings. You can also delete your account yourself in the app (Profile, “Delete my account”) or from the “Delete my account” page of this site.

Changes

Any change to this policy is published on this page along with its date.
