Privacy Policy

Lifeline · Version 2 · Effective date: October 21, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains what the Lifeline game ("Game"), provided by Page Games ("we", "us"), does with information. In short: the Game stores your game data on your own device, and we do not collect, receive or sell your personal information. The Android app shows optional ads through Google AdMob and sells premium items through Google Play, and those Google services collect some information as explained in section 3.

1. Information stored on your device

The Game saves the following in your browser's or app's local storage on your device only:

Your save slots (up to two lives and one backup each), including character names you type and in-game progress.
Family legacy and cemetery records across lives.
Settings: style and accessibility options, theme, sound, tips and Autopilot preferences.
Premium pass and subscription flags, and rewarded-ad counters. In the Android app this includes the record of what you bought through Google Play, so your purchases can be unlocked and restored.
Your agreement to these documents (the version number and the time you agreed) and your choice about in-game news.

This data is not sent to us or to anyone else. We cannot see it, and we cannot recover it if it is deleted.

2. Information we collect

We do not run any analytics or tracking of our own, and the Game has no accounts and no sign-in. It does not access your location, contacts, camera or microphone. The web version contains no advertising SDK. The Android app includes Google AdMob for ads and the Google Play Billing Library for purchases (see section 3). Apart from those services, the Game only downloads its own files (code, images and sounds) from the website or app package it is served from.

The web host that serves the Game may automatically keep standard server logs (such as IP address, browser type and the time of the request) for security and operations. See GitHub Pages's privacy policy for details.

3. Ads and purchases

Web version. The web version shows only in-game placeholders for ads (optional rewarded ads and an occasional full-screen ad). It uses no ad network and offers no real-money purchases.

Ads in the Android app. The Android app shows ads from Google AdMob, a service provided by Google. Rewarded ads play when you choose to watch one in exchange for an in-game reward, and a full-screen (interstitial) ad that cannot be skipped appears at a natural break in play (when you change screens or age up) about every 8 to 15 in-game years or after 20 minutes of active play, whichever comes first. Buying "No Ads Forever" (or the All Access subscription) removes the full-screen ads and gives rewards without an ad. To show and measure ads and to prevent fraud, AdMob may collect your device's advertising ID, your IP address and the approximate location it indicates, information about your device and the app, and how you interact with ads. Where the law requires it (for example in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland), the app asks for your consent through Google's consent form before ads are personalized. You can reset your advertising ID or turn off ad personalization in your Android settings. Google's use of this information is described in How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services and the Google Privacy Policy. AdMob gives us only summary reports about ad performance that do not identify you.

Purchases in the Android app. Premium passes, the All Access subscription, No Ads Forever and the Tester Pack are bought through Google Play. Google processes the payment under its own terms and privacy policy, and we never receive your card or payment details. The app receives a purchase record from Google Play (such as the product, the order status and a purchase token) and uses it on your device to unlock what you bought and to restore it if you reinstall. Google provides us with transaction reports (such as order numbers, products, prices and country) that we use for accounting, refunds and support.

4. In-game news (optional)

The optional checkbox only records your preference on your device, so the Game may show news about updates and events inside the Game. It does not collect an email address or phone number and does not send push notifications.

5. Children

The Game simulates adult life and includes mature themes. It is intended for players aged 16 and older, and it is not directed at children under 13. We do not collect personal information from players ourselves, and we do not knowingly allow children under 13 to use the Game or collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has sent us personal information (for example by email), contact us at paigehauling@outlook.com and we will delete it.

6. Deleting your data

All your Game data is on your device, so you control it:

In the Game: starting a new life in a save slot (Settings, then "Start a new life") overwrites that slot's save.
Everything: clear this site's data in your browser settings (Site settings, then Clear data), or, for an app version, uninstall the app or clear its storage in your device settings. This permanently deletes all saves, settings, premium flags and your agreement record.

We hold no account or copy of your game data, so there is nothing for us to delete on our side. Information collected by Google AdMob or Google Play is controlled through your Google account and your Android ad settings. If you have emailed us, ask us at paigehauling@outlook.com and we will delete that correspondence.

7. Security

Your data stays on your device and is protected by your device's own security. Anyone with access to your device or browser profile can see and change your saves.

8. Your rights

Depending on where you live (for example under the GDPR or US state privacy laws) you may have rights to access, correct or delete personal data. Because we do not hold personal data from the Game, these requests can usually be met by the deletion steps above; you can also contact us. For information held by Google AdMob or Google Play, use your Google account settings or contact Google.

9. Changes

If we change this policy in a material way, we will update the effective date and the Game will ask you to agree again.
