Axolittle Haven Privacy Policy

Your haven stays on your device

Axolittle Haven is made by Echorithm LLC. The game stores your residents, names, progress, preferences, journal and album locally. It has no player accounts, analytics, advertising, cloud saves or in-app purchases. The game does not send your haven or gameplay activity to Echorithm.

Photos you choose to share

Album originals remain in the game's private storage. Save to gallery creates a separate copy in your device's gallery. Share creates a gallery copy and opens Android's sharing chooser; only the app or person you select receives that copy. Those apps and any gallery backup service you use have their own privacy practices. Axolittle Haven does not read your existing gallery, camera, contacts or microphone.

Optional reminders

Haven Reminders are off until you enable them. Android notification permission lets the game show local reminders based on your saved haven. Android may display their text, including resident names, on the lock screen according to your device settings. You can turn reminders off in Settings at any time. Reboot permission restores local scheduling after your device restarts; no server is involved. Android's scheduling library also declares wake-lock, foreground-service and network-state permissions. The game has no Internet permission and does not transmit your data.

Keeping your progress

Local progress is retained while the app's data remains on your device. Updates are designed to preserve it. Settings → Backups lets you manually save a ZIP of your haven and private album to a location you choose, then restore it on a device. Android's file picker can offer third-party storage providers; their privacy practices apply to files you choose to send there. The game does not upload backups itself. A restore keeps the replaced haven as a local recovery copy. There is no automatic cloud recovery or sync. Uninstalling or clearing app storage can permanently remove your haven, private album and local recovery copy. Backups saved outside the app and gallery copies remain separate; you can remove them through the storage provider or gallery. No reset or deletion is needed to update the game.

Google Play and support

Google Play handles the app purchase and distribution under Google's own policies. The game's offline design does not describe data Google Play or Android may handle separately. If you choose to contact support, send only the information you want to share; email is handled outside the game.
