Privacy Policy

Effective date: November 11, 2026 · Applies to the Gemsomnia game on iOS, Android and the web.

Gemsomnia ("the game") is made by ReelRiot ("we", "us"). This policy explains what information is collected when you play, why, and the choices you have. In short: we do not ask for your name, email or any account. The only thing the game sends to us is leaderboard data (a random player ID, the nickname you choose, your country and your game results), and you can turn that off and delete it at any time. Ads and purchases are handled by the third-party services described below.

1. Information stored on your device

Your progress (levels, stars, coins, boosters, lives, settings) is saved only on your device, using the browser's local storage or the operating system's app storage. On a web game portal, the portal may also keep a copy of your save so you can continue on another device. We never receive this save data.

2. Leaderboards and the Daily Dream

When you finish a level or the Daily Dream, the iOS and Android apps (and the web version on our own site) send the result to our leaderboard server, which runs on Cloudflare. We store:

A random player ID and secret key created by the server the first time you play online. It is not linked to your device's advertising ID, your store account, your email or your real name.
Your leaderboard nickname. You start with a generated name (like "Sleepy Comet 42") and can change it. Nicknames are filtered and other players can report offensive ones; reported names are reset.
Your country, worked out from your IP address when you connect, so a flag can be shown next to your name. We store the two-letter country code only, never your IP address. Cloudflare processes IP addresses to deliver requests and keeps short-lived operational logs under its own privacy policy.
Your game results: for each level and Daily Dream, your best score and stars, when you set them, and the moves you made in that game (used to check the score is genuine).

Your nickname, country flag, scores and rank are shown publicly to other players on the leaderboards. We use this data only to run the leaderboards. We do not sell it, use it for advertising or share it with anyone else.

Turning leaderboards off: in Settings → Leaderboards, switch it off. This immediately deletes your player ID, nickname and every score from our server, and the game stops sending results. You can switch it back on later as a new player.

3. Advertising (Google AdMob)

The mobile versions show ads through Google AdMob. To serve and measure ads, and to prevent fraud, Google may collect:

your device's advertising identifier (IDFA on iOS, only if you allow tracking; Android Advertising ID),
approximate location derived from your IP address,
information about the ads you see and interact with, and basic device and app information,
crash and performance diagnostics from the ad software.

On iOS you are asked for permission (App Tracking Transparency) before your advertising identifier is used to personalise ads. In the European Economic Area, the UK, Switzerland and other regions where it is required, Google's consent form lets you choose whether ads may be personalised. Where Google requires it, you can change that choice at any time in Settings → Privacy choices. Ads are requested only after Google's consent check allows it: if you accept ads but refuse personalisation, the ads you see are not personalised; if you refuse, no ads are requested. Ad content is limited to a general-audience rating.

Google's use of this data is governed by its own policy: How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services and Google Privacy Policy.

4. In-app purchases (Apple, Google, RevenueCat)

Purchases are processed by the Apple App Store or Google Play; we never see your payment details. We use RevenueCat to validate purchases and restore them. RevenueCat receives an anonymous, randomly generated identifier, your purchase history and basic device information. See RevenueCat's Privacy Policy.

5. Web game portals

If you play on a web portal (such as CrazyGames, Poki or GameDistribution), that portal shows the ads and may set cookies or collect data under its own privacy policy, which applies in addition to this one. In-app purchases are not offered on web portals.

6. Analytics

The game does not include a separate analytics service. The ad and purchase services above may produce aggregated statistics (for example, how many ads were shown).

7. Your choices and rights (data deletion)

Delete your game data: uninstall the game or clear the app's or website's storage.
Delete your leaderboard data: Settings → Leaderboards → OFF deletes it from our server straight away. If you have already uninstalled the game, email us your leaderboard nickname and we will remove it.
Ad tracking: iOS: Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking. Android: Settings → Google → Ads, to reset or delete your advertising ID. You can also use Settings → Privacy choices in the game.
Requests: depending on where you live (for example under the GDPR or CCPA/CPRA) you may have rights to access, delete or object to the processing of personal data. For leaderboard data, use the in-game switch or email us. For ad and purchase data, the services above handle requests; email us and we will help you reach them.
We do not sell personal information. Sharing advertising identifiers with Google for personalised ads may count as "sharing" under California law. You can opt out by declining tracking or personalised ads as described above.

8. Children

Gemsomnia is a general-audience game and is not directed at children under 13 (or the equivalent minimum age where you live). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information through the game, contact us and we will help remove it.

9. Security and retention

Leaderboard data and data sent by the ad and purchase services travel over encrypted connections (HTTPS). Leaderboard data is kept until you turn leaderboards off (or ask us to delete it); Daily Dream results older than 30 days are no longer shown. The ad and purchase services keep data according to their own retention policies. Data on your device stays until you delete it.

10. Changes

If this policy changes, we will update this page and its effective date. Significant changes will also be noted in the game's release notes.
