Privacy Policy
Overclock is a tower-defense game published by Alyro Studios ("we", "us"). This policy explains what happens to information when you play it. It is written to be read, not to be skimmed past.
The short version
- Your game progress is stored on your device. We never receive it.
- We do not ask for your name, email address or any account.
- The game shows ads, and the ad provider (Google AdMob) collects data to do that.
- If you buy something, the purchase is handled by Apple or Google and by RevenueCat.
- You can turn off personalised ads, and you still get every in-game reward either way.
Information we collect ourselves
None. Overclock has no accounts, no sign-in and no servers of our own. Your levels, stars, coins, gems and settings are saved on your device and stay there. If you delete the app, that save is deleted with it, and we cannot recover it for you.
Information collected by services we use
Ads — Google AdMob
The game is free because it shows ads. Ads are provided by Google AdMob, which collects information in order to select, show and measure them. This typically includes your device's advertising identifier, general device information such as model and operating system version, approximate location derived from your IP address, and whether you saw or interacted with an ad.
What Google does with this is described in How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services.
On iOS, the game asks your permission before any tracking. If you say no, you still see ads and still receive every reward; the ads are simply less relevant. In the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom, you are also shown Google's consent form and can choose what you allow.
Purchases — Apple, Google and RevenueCat
If you buy something, the payment is taken by Apple or Google, not by us. We never see your card details or your billing address. We use RevenueCat to confirm that a purchase succeeded and to restore it if you reinstall the game. RevenueCat receives a randomly generated identifier for your installation, along with what you bought and when. See RevenueCat's privacy policy.
What is collected, at a glance
| Data | Who receives it | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Advertising identifier | Google AdMob | To show and measure ads. Used for personalised ads only with your permission. |
| Device and general location (from IP) | Google AdMob | To show ads suitable for your region and device. |

Children
Overclock is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from them. Its ads are configured for a general audience aged 13 and over. If you believe a child has provided information through this app, please contact us and we will look into it.
Your choices
- Turn off personalised ads. On iOS, Settings › Privacy & Security › Tracking. On Android, Settings › Google › Ads.
- Remove ads entirely. The "No Ads" purchase in the game removes the ads we choose to show. Rewarded ads remain available if you want them.
- Change your consent (EEA and UK): the consent options are reachable from the game's Settings screen.
- Delete everything. Deleting the app deletes your save.
Your rights
Overclock is published from Australia. Depending on where you live, you may have the right to ask what personal data is held about you, to have it corrected or deleted, or to object to how it is used. Because we hold no personal data ourselves, such requests are usually best directed at Google, Apple or RevenueCat, whose policies are linked above. We will help you as far as we are able — contact us below.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes in a way that matters, we will update the date at the top and, where the change is significant, say so in the game.
