Tapfolio Privacy Policy
Effective October 13, 2026
Tapfolio is an idle tycoon game. This policy explains what information the game and its advertising partner handle, and the choices you have.
Your game data stays on your device
Your progress (in-game money, businesses, investments, settings and the name you type on your card) is saved only on your phone. We do not run servers, we do not have accounts, and we never receive your game data. Uninstalling the app or clearing its storage deletes it. You can copy your save from Empire → Profile → Save data.
All money, companies, stocks and coins in Tapfolio are fictional. There is no real-money trading or gambling.
In-app purchases
Tapfolio offers optional purchases (a starter pack, removing ads, gold and a VIP subscription). Payment is handled entirely by Google Play on Android and the App Store on iPhone; we never see your card or payment details.
To deliver what you buy and restore it on a new device, the app uses RevenueCat, a purchase-management service acting on our behalf. RevenueCat receives your purchase history (which products you bought, when, and the price and currency), a random anonymous ID created for this app, and basic device information such as the app version, OS version and locale. We use this only to provide your purchases and to understand which items sell; it is not used for advertising and is not sold. See RevenueCat's privacy policy.
To have your purchase records deleted, email us at the address below. Subscriptions are managed and cancelled in Google Play → Payments & subscriptions, or on iPhone in Settings → your name → Subscriptions.
Advertising
Tapfolio shows optional rewarded video ads, served by Google AdMob, when you tap a button marked “Ad”. To serve and measure ads, Google may collect and process:
| Data | Why |
|---|---|
| Device identifiers, such as your Android advertising ID | Advertising, analytics, fraud prevention |
| IP address, which can indicate approximate location | Advertising, fraud prevention |
| Ad interactions, such as views and taps | Advertising, analytics |
| Diagnostics, such as crash and performance data from the ads SDK | Analytics, fraud prevention |
This data is sent directly to Google and handled under Google's policies. We do not receive it. If you buy “No ads” or VIP, the game stops requesting ads. Learn more at How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services.
If you are in a region that requires consent, such as the EEA, the UK or Switzerland, Tapfolio asks for your choice before showing personalized ads. You can change it any time in Empire → Profile → Ad privacy choices. You can also reset or delete your advertising ID in your Android settings under Privacy → Ads.
Google Play Games (Android, optional)
If you sign in to Google Play Games, Google shares your gamer profile with the game and stores your achievements, leaderboard scores and a cloud copy of your save so you can restore it on a new phone. This data is held by Google under Google's privacy policy; we can't see your Google account. You can delete it from your Play Games profile or your Google Account. Signing in is optional.
Notifications
If you allow notifications, the game schedules reminders on your phone (for example, when an expansion finishes). They are created on the device and no data is sent anywhere. Turn them off in Empire → Profile or in your phone's settings.
iPhone tracking prompt
On iPhone, Apple asks whether Tapfolio may use your device's advertising identifier. If you decline, ads are still shown but are not personalized, and the game works exactly the same.
Children
Tapfolio is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from them.
Security
Data sent by the ads SDK is encrypted in transit. Your game save is stored in the app's private storage on your device.
Changes
If this policy changes, we will update the date above and the policy in the app's store listing.
