Pineapple Farm Simulator
Pineapple Farm Simulator is a single-player breeding game for iPhone and iPad. There is no account, no login, no password and no advertising identifier. Your farm lives on your device. The app is fully playable with the network switched off, permanently.
This policy describes how the Pineapple Farm Simulator mobile application (“the app”, “we”, “us”) handles information. It applies to the app and to the website at pineapplefarmsim.online.
Questions, requests or complaints: [email protected], or use our support form.
We do not collect your name, email address, phone number, postal address, contacts, social profiles or payment details. There is nothing to sign up for and nothing to buy inside the app.
When the app first launches it generates a random install tag (a random identifier that is not derived from your device and is not linked to you). It is stored locally on the device. Deleting the app destroys it. It exists so that our server can apply rate limits and count distinct installs; it is never joined to any personal information, because we hold none.
The following never leaves your device:
Because the save is local, we cannot restore it. If you delete the app or lose the device, the farm is gone.
The app talks to our server rarely, and every request is either a single start-of-session handshake or the direct result of a button you pressed. If the network is unavailable, the app falls back to a local equivalent and play continues.
| When | What is sent | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Once, on first successful launch | The install tag, technical device information (see §5) and the current in-game day number. | To fetch seasonal content and basic service configuration. |
| Only when you tap Lodge with the grove | The install tag, the in-game handle you typed, the six-digit genome of the plant, its origin and strength, and the in-game day number. | To place the plant in the public register of notable strains. |
| Only if you turn on Share end-of-day totals in Settings (off by default) | The install tag and anonymous gameplay counters: coins, best strength, harvests, splices, mutations, brews poured and spoiled, puzzles solved, contracts settled. | To balance the game’s difficulty and economy. |
| Only if you lodge a plant grafted from an image | Five sRGB colour values (hex triples) that the image reduces to, plus the resulting genome. | To record how many players have found the same strain. The image is never sent. |
The in-game handle is a nickname you choose. Please do not use your real name, an email address or anything else that identifies you — it may be shown publicly in the register.
Like any HTTP client, the app includes technical details with each request: app version, device type (iPhone or iPad), operating system name and version, hardware model, screen size and scale, and preferred language. Our servers also see your IP address, as any server does when a connection is made.
We use this only for capacity planning, compatibility and abuse prevention. We do not use it to build a device fingerprint, we do not use it to track you across apps or websites, and there is no personal record for it to be joined to.
We do not sell, rent or trade any information, and we do not share it for advertising or marketing. Data is transmitted to and stored on infrastructure we operate for the sole purpose of running the service. We may disclose information if we are legally required to do so, but the only records we hold are a random tag, an in-game nickname you chose and gameplay numbers.
All traffic between the app and our servers uses HTTPS. Register entries are kept for as long as the public register is published. Anonymous balancing counters are kept in aggregate and are not tied to anything that identifies a person. Server access logs are kept for a short period for security and troubleshooting, then deleted.
Where the GDPR applies, our lawful bases are: legitimate interests (running, securing and balancing the service) and consent (the optional totals setting and the act of lodging a plant, both of which you initiate and can withhold).
The app is suitable for a general audience and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone, including children. There is no profile to create, no message to send another player and nothing to buy. If you believe a child has submitted something identifying as an in-game handle, contact us and we will remove it.
Our servers may be located outside your country. The information described above may therefore be processed in a jurisdiction other than your own. Given its nature — a random tag, a nickname and gameplay counters — this presents no meaningful risk to you, and we apply appropriate safeguards where required by law.
If this policy changes we will update the date at the top of this page and, where the change is significant, note it in the app. Continued use of the app after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
