Forgery Files
Privacy Policy
The short version
- We collect nothing. The game does not send your data to us or to anyone else.
- There is no account and no sign-in. We never ask for your name, email address or phone number.
- There are no ads, no analytics and no crash reporting in the app, and it does not read your advertising ID.
- Your progress is saved on your phone. Deleting the app deletes it.
What stays on your phone
The game saves these on your device so you can pick up where you left off:
- your progress in each case: the notes you recorded, your calls on each lot and how you did
- your game cash and trading profit. This is play money with no real value
- what you have unlocked in the Casebook
- anything you type into the question at the end of a case
- your sound setting
None of this leaves your phone through the game. We cannot see it.
If your phone backs up apps to your own Google account, Android may include this save in that backup. That backup belongs to you and is handled by Google. We have no access to it.
Sharing and copying
Some screens offer buttons to invite a friend, share your result, or copy your results. These only happen when you tap them. Sharing opens your phone's own share sheet, and you choose where the text goes. Copying puts the text on your phone's clipboard. The text is about the game, and includes anything you typed at the end of a case when you copy your results. We do not receive it.
Purchases
This version of Forgery Files takes no payment and does not connect to Google Play billing. If real purchases are added later, they will be handled by Google Play, we will never see your payment details, and this policy will be updated before that version is released.
What the app can access on your phone
| Android permission | Why it is there |
|---|---|
| Internet and network state | Included by the app's software framework. The game itself sends and fetches nothing: its pictures, video and sound are all inside the app. |
| Vibrate | The small buzzes you feel when using some tools. |
| Modify audio settings, wake lock | Used by the audio and video software that plays the game's sound and clips. |
The app does not use your camera, microphone, location, contacts or photos.
Children
Forgery Files is not directed to children under 13. We do not collect personal information from anyone, including children under 13.
Deleting your data
All of your game data is on your phone, so you can remove it yourself:
- Delete the app. This deletes your save from the phone.
- Or keep the app and start over: open your phone's Settings, then Apps, then Forgery Files, then Storage, and clear its storage.
- If your phone made a backup to your Google account, you can manage or delete it in your Google account or your phone's backup settings.
We hold no data about you, so there is nothing for us to delete on our side. You are welcome to email us with any question.
Changes
If the app starts collecting anything, or this policy changes in any other way, we will update this page and its effective date before that version is released.
