IDLE DUCK PRIVACY POLICY

Last Updated: June 2026

Our privacy policy is designed to provide transparency into our privacy practices and principles, in a format that our guests can navigate, read, and understand. Idle Duck d.o.o. and its subsidiaries (collectively, “Idle Duck”) is dedicated to treating your personal information with care and respect.

This privacy policy describes how Idle Duck collects, uses, and discloses information from players of its games (“Idle Duck Games”). Please read this privacy policy carefully so that you understand our information practices. By downloading, accessing, and/or playing the Idle Duck Games, you consent to the collection of information about you, pursuant to this privacy policy.

1. INFORMATION WE COLLECT

We collect information about you and your use of the Idle Duck Games. Information about you may be required to provide you with the Idle Duck Games. Your failure to provide such information may result in our inability to provide you with certain games, features, or services.

By downloading, accessing, and/or playing the Idle Duck Games, you consent to the collection of information about you, by us. Most of this data comes directly from you or your device, such as device information, your country and region, and game play information. We use this data to provide our games and services to you, including for the purposes of optimizing our games, preventing fraud, customizing in-game offers, verifying purchases, and, with our third-party advertising partners, delivering to you targeted and/or contextual advertisements.

The information we collect falls into three categories: (1) information collected directly from you; (2) information collected automatically, and (3) information collected from third parties.

(1) Information collected directly from you

(2) Information collected automatically

(3) Information collected from third parties

Please see the “Privacy for Children and Minors” section below for more information on our collection of information from children.

2. HOW WE USE YOUR INFORMATION

Idle Duck will use your information for the following purposes:

In addition, Idle Duck may use your information for the following purposes because these purposes are in Idle Duck’s legitimate business interests:

Please see the “Privacy for Children and Minors” section below for more information on our use of information from children.

3. HOW WE DISCLOSE YOUR INFORMATION

We may disclose your information outside Idle Duck in the following circumstances:

Please note that once we disclose your information with another company in any of the circumstances set out above, the information received by the other company becomes subject to the other company’s privacy practices. However, when companies perform services on our behalf, like customer service, we have agreements with those companies that govern their data practices and prohibit them from using your information for purposes other than those requested by us or required by law.

You may request a notice disclosing the categories of information we have disclosed to third parties, and the names of those third parties. To request such notice, please contact [email protected]. Please see the “Privacy for Children and Minors” section below for more information on our sharing of information from children.

4. ADVERTISING

Idle Duck relies on advertising to fund the development and distribution of the Idle Duck Games, most of which are available to play at no cost to you. Accordingly, when you play the Idle Duck Games you may see third-party advertising. This advertising is delivered to the Idle Duck Games by advertising networks that sell advertising to interested third parties. Advertising networks collect a unique device ID or advertising ID (Apple Identifier for Advertisers (“IDFA”) on Apple devices and Google Advertising Identity (“GAID”) on Android devices) that enables the delivery of advertisements that are relevant to you. Your advertising ID is consistent across all apps and thus allows for cross-app tracking and interest-based advertising. Advertising IDs are non-permanent, non-personal identifiers uniquely associated with your device.

Similar technologies include tracking pixels within ads. These technologies allow companies (including marketers and advertisers) to recognize your device when you use websites and applications. Advertising networks may use your device’s IP address to determine your approximate geographic location to enable them to deliver more relevant advertisements.

Some Idle Duck Games reward you with in-game currency (such as coins or gems) for watching advertisements (“Rewarded Ad”). If you are a California resident, please review the Incentive Program section in Appendix A.

Please see the “Your Controls and Choices” section, below, for information on how to limit advertising tracking. We do not sell data on children (players under the age of 13) and minors (players under the age of 16). Please see the “Privacy for Children and Minors” section below for more information on advertising to children.

5. IN-APP PURCHASES

Certain Idle Duck Games may allow you to make In-App Purchases. All In-App Purchases are processed by third-party payment processors that may collect information directly from you (for example, they may request your billing address and credit card information) in accordance with its own privacy policy. Idle Duck’s third-party payment processors do not disclose your financial information, like credit card number, with Idle Duck. We receive summary information about all purchases, including the amount of the transaction and your general location (such as your ZIP code).

6. YOUR CONTROLS AND CHOICES

We provide you the ability to exercise certain controls and choices regarding our collection, use, and sharing of your information. In accordance with applicable law, you may be able to exercise certain rights with respect to the information we hold about you, including requesting access to that data or requesting that we amend or delete it. You may exercise your controls and choices, or request access to your information, by contacting [email protected]. See also Appendix A (for users in California) and Appendix B (for users in the European Union).

(1) Marketing Communications

You can unsubscribe from marketing emails we send to you by clicking the “unsubscribe” link they contain or by contacting [email protected]. Please note that even though you may opt-out of receiving marketing-related communications from us, we may still send you important administrative and transactional messages.

(2) Rights Regarding Your Information

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right, in accordance with applicable privacy and data protection laws, to make requests related to your “personal information” or “personal data” (as such terms are defined under applicable law, and collectively referred to herein as “personal information”). Specifically, you may have the right to ask us to:

Please note that certain information may be exempt from such requests under applicable law. For example, we need to retain certain information in order to provide our services to you. We also need to take reasonable steps to verify your identity before responding to a request, which may include, at a minimum, depending on the sensitivity of the information you are requesting and the type of request you are making, verifying your name and email address. If we are unable to verify you, we may be unable to respond to your requests.

You may also have the right to opt out of “sales” of your information and “sharing/processing of your information for targeted advertising” as described below. If you are a California resident, please see Appendix A below for more information about our privacy practices and your rights.

As provided in applicable law, you also have the right to not be discriminated against for exercising your rights. To exercise any of these rights, you can contact [email protected].

You may be able to designate an authorized agent to make requests on your behalf. In order for an authorized agent to be verified, you must provide the authorized agent with signed, written permission to make such requests or a power of attorney. We may also follow up with you to verify your identity before processing the authorized agent’s request. Depending on applicable law, you may have the right to appeal our decision to deny your request, if applicable. We will provide information about how to exercise that right in our response denying the request. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.

(3) Notice of Right to Opt Out of Sales of Personal Information and Processing/Sharing of Personal Information for Targeted Advertising Purposes

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may also have the right to opt out of “sales” of your information and “sharing/processing of your information for targeted advertising.”

As explained in the “How We Disclose Your Information” and “Advertising” sections above, we sometimes disclose information to unaffiliated third parties we collaborate with or that provide offers that we think may be of value to you. We also provide information to third-party advertising providers for targeted advertising purposes or use advertising analytics partners to assist us in analyzing the use of our services and our user/customer base. Under certain laws, the disclosure of your personal information to these third parties may be considered a “sale” of personal information or the processing/sharing of personal information for targeted advertising purposes.

If you would like to opt out of the disclosure of your personal information for these, please visit the following link, which is also available in the footer of our Site: “Do Not Sell My Personal Information.” Because opt out requests are tied to your device ID, please note that you will need to opt out on each device you use to access the Services. Depending on your jurisdiction, you may be permitted to designate an authorized agent to submit such requests on your behalf. Please note that we do not knowingly sell the personal information of minors under 16 years of age.

7. PRIVACY FOR CHILDREN AND MINORS

Idle Duck applies special protections for its younger players’ data. For applications that are directed towards children and minors, Idle Duck does not collect your information for profiling, targeted advertising, or geolocation tracking and we use the limited information we do collect to support our internal operations.

For applications that are directed at users age 16 and up, Idle Duck has implemented age-screens to verify the age of players. When you download our game, we collect your age as indicated by you. We provide a separate experience for younger users through which we collect limited information and serve contextual advertising only. In that gaming experience, there will be no profiling, targeted advertising, or geolocation tracking, and we use the limited information we do collect to support our internal operations. A list of third-party operators on the Idle Duck Games can be found in Appendix C.

Idle Duck collects data on children (players under the age of 13) and minors (players under the age of 16) only when necessary:

Idle Duck may use this data for the following purposes because these purposes are in Idle Duck’s legitimate business interests:

We work only with selected ad networks that respect the tag-for-child-directed (TFCD) parameter—aka the ‘COPPA flag’—on a per-app or per-request basis, so that interest-based advertising is switched off, and personal data collection is restricted. In addition, these ad networks are able to categorize and tag their ad creatives by age, so that the ads are appropriate content-wise.

If Idle Duck discovers that we have inadvertently gathered personal information from a child under 13 years of age, we will take reasonable measures to promptly delete such personal information from our records. If you are a parent or legal guardian of a child under the age of 13 (or a minor under 16) who uses the Idle Duck Games, please contact us at [email protected], if you have any questions or comments. If you are a parent or guardian, you may review the information we have collected from your child or ask us to make no further use of, or delete, such information. We may need to verify your identity before implementing your request.

8. DATA SECURITY AND INTEGRITY

The security, integrity, and confidentiality of your information are important to us. We have implemented technical, administrative, and physical security measures that are designed to protect your information from unauthorized access, disclosure, use and modification. Please be aware though that, despite our best efforts, no security measures are perfect or impenetrable.

We will retain your information for the length of time needed to fulfill the purposes outlined in this privacy policy unless a longer retention period is required, or for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims, or for legitimate business purposes, or as provided by law.

9. DATA RETENTION

The length of time for which we retain your information depends on the purposes for which we collect it and use it. We may also retain and use this information as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. The criteria used to determine our retention periods include:

We will delete and/or aggregate your information after the retention period ends.

10. DATA TRANSFERS, STORAGE AND PROCESSING GLOBALLY

Pursuant to our contract with you to provide you with the Idle Duck Games, your information will be processed on servers that may not be located where you live, including on our servers hosted in the United States. Users outside the United States should be advised that through your continued use of the Idle Duck Games, which are governed by U.S. law, this privacy policy, and our Terms of Use, you are transferring your information to the United States and (where applicable) you consent to that transfer. No matter where our servers are located, we take appropriate measures to safeguard your rights in accordance with this privacy policy.

11. CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY

From time to time, we may change this privacy policy to accommodate new technologies, industry practices, regulatory requirements, or for other purposes. If we make any material changes to this privacy policy, we will post the updated privacy policy here and notify our users. Please check this page frequently to see any updates or changes to this privacy policy.

The Idle Duck Games may contain links to other sites or apps not owned or controlled by us and we are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites or apps.

APPENDIX A – CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS

Note: If you are an individual in the state of California, the following additional information applies to you.

CONTACT
Please contact [email protected] with any questions about this Appendix.

How We Collect and Use Your Personal Information

This section provides more detail on the types of personal information we collect from users and our purposes for doing so. This section provides the information required by the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act of 2020 (“CCPA”). The below outlines what we currently collect and have collected from users over the past 12 months.

Identifiers

Internet or Other Electronic Network Activity Information

Geolocation Data

Protected Classifications & Related Identifiers

Identifiers and Commercial Information

Identifiers & Network Activity (Marketing)

Inferences

We may additionally use this information for the following business purposes specified in the CCPA:

What Personal Information We Share

We primarily collect, use, and share de-identified and/or aggregated consumer information, which is not considered personal information under CCPA since it does not directly or indirectly reveal your identity. However, CCPA defines “sale” very broadly. It includes the sharing of CCPA Covered Information (by a covered business) in exchange for anything of value. According to this broad definition, in the year before the date this policy was issued, for some Idle Duck Games we collected, and may have sold, only the following categories of information for non-children and non-minor users:

We may share the information with recipients such as our service providers to achieve these business purposes. This means that we may disclose the categories of personal information listed above for a business purpose.

Your Choices Regarding “Sharing” and “Selling”

You have the right to opt out of our sale/sharing of your personal information for purposes of online analytics and advertising by clicking here. To opt out of the offline disclosure of your information to third parties for these purposes, please email us at [email protected].

Incentive Programs (California Residents Only)

The Services may offer opportunities to receive certain services or benefits such as discounts or free or extended services (such as bonus game time or additional credits), which may require the provision of personal information. Such opportunities could be considered a financial incentive under applicable law (each, an “Incentive Program”). When you participate in an Incentive Program, you agree to the terms of that Incentive Program, and may revoke your participation depending on the Incentive Program (e.g., by opting out of emails or terminating a service). To the extent we can determine the value of your information, we consider the value to you (and costs to us) of providing you with a discount, as compared to the value to us in an opportunity to gain a loyal, or even more loyal, customer; we seek to reasonably relate the benefits to you to the costs to us.

Sensitive Personal Information

The CCPA also allows you to limit the use or disclosure of your “sensitive personal information” (as defined in the CCPA) if your sensitive personal information is used for certain purposes. In the limited circumstances that we process sensitive personal information as defined in the CCPA, we do not use or disclose it other than for disclosed and permitted business purposes for which there is not a right to limit under the CCPA.

Please see the “Your Controls And Choices” section of our Policy above for information about the additional rights you have with respect to your personal information under California law and how to exercise them.

Retention of Your Personal Information: Please see the “Data Retention” section above.
