Privacy Policy
Summary
Idle Bank Run stores game progress locally on your device. We do not sell your personal information and do not upload your game saves to our servers.
- Browser edition (/play) — Google Analytics 4 (GA4) for usage and device-related analytics. No advertising or in-app purchases.
- Android app — Firebase Analytics (Google), Firebase Crashlytics (Google), Firebase Performance Monitoring (Google), optional rewarded ads (Google AdMob), optional in-app purchases (Google Play Billing), and optional local offline-cap notifications.
Who is responsible for your data
DRPH Holdings LLC (“we,” “us,” “our”) is the developer of Idle Bank Run and decides how personal information collected through the game and website is used. Google and other providers listed below process data under their own policies when you use their services in the app or site.
Privacy requests: Contact us through https://www.drphholdingsllc.com with the subject line Idle Bank Run Privacy. We will respond within a reasonable time as required by applicable law.
Data stored on your device
- Bank name you enter
- Up to five local save slots with full game progress (Android)
- Browser edition: one save in
localStorageon the same device and browser - Optional purchase entitlements on Android (Executive Services), stored separately from exported saves
- Notification preference for offline-cap alerts (Android)
- Light/dark theme and UI preferences
Data we do not collect directly
Neither edition collects real bank account information, contacts, photos, microphone, or camera data. We do not operate our own game-save servers and we do not sell personal information.
Browser edition
The web version at /play stores progress in your browser's localStorage. Game save data is not uploaded to our servers. The browser edition uses Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to collect usage events and related device/browser data (for example, page views, session activity, and in-game actions such as starting or continuing a game). It does not use advertising SDKs and has no in-app purchases. Clearing browser data or using a different browser will not carry your save over.
Analytics (Android)
The Android app uses Firebase Analytics (Google) to collect usage events and device/app metadata (for example, app opens and screen views). This helps us understand how the game is used. Game save data is not uploaded to our servers.
Google's processing is described in Google's privacy policy.
Crash reporting (Android)
The Android app uses Firebase Crashlytics (Google) to collect crash reports and non-fatal error logs. Reports may include device model, OS version, and app version. Game save data is not uploaded to our servers.
Performance diagnostics (Android)
The Android app uses Firebase Performance Monitoring (Google) to collect timing metrics such as app startup, save/load duration, and offline catch-up latency. This helps us identify slowdowns on real devices. Game save data is not uploaded to our servers.
Optional rewarded ads (Android only)
The Android app may offer optional rewarded video ads through Google AdMob when you choose to watch them (for example, for a 2× branch collect bonus or offline earnings boost). Ads are never required to play or progress.
When ads load or play, Google may process device and advertising-related data — including the Android advertising identifier where your device settings allow it — to deliver, measure, and prevent fraud, as described in Google's privacy policy and Google's Ads policies.
Where required by law (including the UK, EEA, and certain other regions), the app uses Google's User Messaging Platform (UMP) consent flow before personalized ads. You may see Privacy choices in Settings to review or change ad consent when your region requires it.
The app declares the AD_ID permission because AdMob may use the advertising identifier on supported devices. You can limit ad personalization through your device settings (for example, Settings → Google → Ads on many Android devices).
Purchasers of ad-free entitlements (when offered) will not see rewarded ads.
Optional notifications (Android only)
If you enable offline-cap alerts, the app schedules a local notification on your device when your offline earnings vault is full. No notification content is sent to our servers. You can disable alerts in the Start screen settings at any time. Android 13+ requires the POST_NOTIFICATIONS permission, which the app requests only when you turn alerts on.
In-app purchases (Android only)
Optional upgrades (Executive Services) are sold as one-time in-app products through Google Play Billing. Payment and purchase history are handled by Google; we do not receive your payment card details. Purchases are tied to your Google account and can be restored through Google Play on the same device. Purchase entitlements are stored locally on your device and are not included in exported save files.
Export and import
You may export a .ibrsave file to a location you choose. Exported files contain your game progress and bank name. Purchase entitlements are not included in exports and cannot be transferred via save files.
Android backup
Game saves and purchase entitlements are excluded from Android cloud backup and device-to-device transfer by default.

Legal bases and purposes (UK / EEA)
If you are in the United Kingdom or European Economic Area, we rely on the following bases for processing personal information through the app and site:
| Processing | Purpose | Legal basis |
|---|---|---|
| Analytics, crash, and performance SDKs | Improve stability, performance, and product decisions | Legitimate interests, balanced against your rights; where consent is required for non-essential cookies or similar technologies on the web, we align with applicable consent rules |
| Optional rewarded ads | Deliver ads you choose to watch for in-game bonuses | Consent where required (UMP); otherwise legitimate interests for limited ad delivery and fraud prevention |
| Local game data on device | Provide gameplay | Performance of a contract / steps at your request |
| In-app purchases | Provide purchased entitlements | Performance of a contract; payment data is processed by Google |
You may object to processing based on legitimate interests, withdraw consent for ads where consent applies (via Privacy choices or device settings), and exercise other rights listed below.
Retention
- Local game data remains on your device until you delete it, uninstall the app, or clear browser storage.
- Analytics, crash, and performance data held by Google is retained according to Google's policies and your Google account settings.
- Ad-related data is retained by Google according to its ads and consent policies.
- We do not maintain separate user account databases for Idle Bank Run on our own servers.
International transfers
Google and other providers may process data in the United States and other countries. Where required, Google offers appropriate safeguards (such as standard contractual clauses). See Google's documentation for details.
