Privacy Policy

Last Core: Idle Tower Defense · Effective 15 October 2026

Last Core is made by Ashutosh Jain, an independent developer ("I", "me"). This policy explains what information the game uses and who it is shared with. I do not run any servers for the game, I do not have player accounts, and I do not sell personal information.

Information stored on your phone

Your progress, settings and the optional name you enter on first launch are stored only on your iPhone. They are not sent to me. You can erase your progress at any time with Settings → Reset progress in the game, or by deleting the app.

Game Center and iCloud

If you sign in to Game Center, your scores are sent to Apple's Game Center leaderboards, where other players can see them alongside your Game Center name. A copy of your saved game is stored in your own iCloud account through Game Center so it can be restored on another device. This is handled by Apple under Apple's Privacy Policy. I cannot see your Apple Account details or your iCloud data. You can delete the saved game from iCloud in your iPhone's Settings under your Apple Account → iCloud → Manage Storage.

Purchases

In-app purchases are processed by Apple. I never see your name, payment details or Apple Account. The game only receives a confirmation of which item was bought so it can be unlocked.

Advertising

The game shows a small banner ad at the bottom of its menus (never during a run) and offers optional rewarded videos (for example, to revive or to double your shards). These are provided by Google AdMob. When ads are shown or requested, Google may collect:

• device identifiers, including the Advertising Identifier (IDFA) only if you allow tracking when iOS asks;
• IP address and approximate location derived from it;
• information about the ads you see and interact with;
• diagnostic information such as app crashes and performance.

Google uses this to show ads, measure them, and prevent fraud, as described in How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services and Google's Privacy Policy.

You stay in control: iOS asks before any app may track you, and you can change this later in Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking. In the European Economic Area, the UK and other regions where it is required, the game shows Google's consent form at launch. In US states with their own privacy laws, such as California, you can opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information for advertising. Either way, you can change your choices at any time with Privacy choices in the game's Settings. If you buy Remove Ads, the game stops showing and requesting ads.

Notifications

If you turn on reminders, the game schedules them on your phone (for example, when your daily reward is ready). They are created on the device and do not involve any server.

Children

Last Core is not directed at children under 13, and I do not knowingly collect personal information from them.

Your rights

Because I do not hold your personal information, there is nothing for me to export or delete on my side. For data held by Apple or Google, use their privacy tools linked above. If you have a question or request, contact me and I will help.

Changes

If this policy changes, the new version will be posted on this page with a new effective date.
