# Privacy Policy — Abiotic Factor Companion

Effective date: 11 August 2026

Abiotic Factor Companion is an unofficial game companion published by Xerxz. This policy explains the data used by the app.

## Data stored on your device

The app stores your selected crafting target, quantity, favorites, onboarding state, and checked materials locally on your device. The developer does not operate an account system or server that receives this information. You can remove local data by clearing the app’s storage or uninstalling it.

## Advertising

The Free plan uses Google AdMob. Depending on your location and consent choices, Google and its partners may process device identifiers, advertising data, approximate location derived from network information, app interactions, diagnostics, and fraud-prevention signals. The app uses Google’s User Messaging Platform to request and manage consent where required. You can reopen ad privacy choices from Settings.

See [Google’s partner-site privacy information](https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites) and [Google Ads policies](https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads).

## Purchases

Monthly and lifetime purchases are processed by Google Play. The app receives product identifiers, purchase state, and a purchase token so it can grant or restore Pro access and acknowledge completed purchases. The developer does not receive your full payment-card details. Google Play retains purchase records under your Google account and Google’s privacy policy.

## Wiki data and external links

The offline crafting database is derived from the Official Abiotic Factor Wiki under CC BY-SA 4.0. If you open a source or license link, your browser and the destination site handle that request under their own privacy policies.

## Security and retention

Google service requests use encrypted network connections. Locally stored preferences remain until you clear storage or uninstall the app. Purchase records are retained by Google according to Google’s policies and legal obligations.

## Children

The app is not directed to children under 13. The publisher should configure AdMob, the Play audience declaration, and any age controls consistently with the final target audience before release.

## Changes

This policy may be updated when features, SDKs, or legal requirements change. The effective date above will be updated.
