ClayscopePrivacy Policy
Version 2026-11-05.
In short: Clayscope needs an internet connection to download the places you play and to keep the game fair. For that our server keeps an ID for your copy of the game, your progress, and how you tap the pictures while you play. There are no ads, and you can delete your data from the game at any time.
This policy is written by G&K Soft ("we", "us"), the maker of Clayscope.
Why the game is online
The places you play are downloaded as your journey reaches them, and our server unlocks the next ones as you play. It also checks that the game is played by a person, on a genuine copy, so the places are not copied.
What our server keeps, and why
| What | Why | How long |
|---|---|---|
| An ID we give your copy of the game, and a secret only your copy knows | to know it is your game asking | until you delete your data |
| A scrambled code made from your device's Android ID | to keep your progress when you reinstall the game on the same phone, and to stop one phone posing as many | until you delete your data |
| Your Google Play Games player ID, if you are signed in | to bring your progress to a new phone | until you delete your data |
| Your progress: which places you have played through, and when | to unlock the next places | until you delete your data |
| Where and when you tapped the picture while playing a place | to check a place was really played, by a person, before it counts | 30 days |
| Google Play's answer to whether this is a genuine copy of the game on a genuine device ("Play Integrity") | to stop copied or modified versions of the game | until you delete your data |
| Notes our server makes when play looks automated | to slow down or stop automated copying | 30 days |
Who else is involved
- Cloudflare runs our server and stores the downloads for us.
- Google checks that the game and the device are genuine (Play Integrity) and runs Google Play Games, under Google's own privacy policy.
Deleting your data
In the game: Settings, then "Delete my data". Everything our server keeps about your copy of the game is deleted, and the journey starts again from the beginning. You can also email us and we will do it for you.
