Money MinerPrivacy policy
Effective date: 10 November 2026
Money Miner is developed by Tidal Wave Media ("we", "us"). This policy explains what information the game handles.
The short version
We do not collect your name, email, contacts, or anything else that says who you are. Your game progress stays on your device. The outside services the game contacts are Unity's game services (an anonymous, random player ID, the leaderboard, and, only if you say yes, anonymous play data, all described below), the advertising network that delivers the optional rewarded videos you choose to watch, and your app store when you choose to buy a coin pack.
Information we do not collect
We do not collect, store on our servers, or share: your name, contact information, precise location, photos, or contacts. The game requires no account and no personal details of any kind; you are never asked to sign in.
Information stored on your device only
Your game progress — levels cleared, stars, coins, items, gear, settings — is saved locally on your device. It never leaves your device, and uninstalling the game deletes it. We cannot access, restore, or transfer it, so please note that reinstalling starts a fresh game.
Anonymous game-services ID
When the game starts, it connects to Unity Gaming Services (a service of Unity Technologies) and receives an anonymous, randomly generated player ID. This happens automatically and silently: there is no account, no sign-in screen, and the ID is not linked to your name, email, or Google account. It exists so that online features such as the leaderboard can work. Unity may process basic technical information to provide this, such as the device's IP address, under the Unity Privacy Policy linked below. Uninstalling the game discards the ID.
Optional anonymous play data (off unless you say yes)
After your first level the game asks once whether it may collect anonymous play data. If you choose "No thanks", nothing is collected. If you choose "Sure", the game sends gameplay events to Unity Analytics (a service of Unity Technologies) so we can see where the game is too hard, too easy, or confusing. The events are things like: which level was started, whether it was won or lost and why, stars and coins earned in that level, which items were used, whether the daily wheel was spun, whether the shop was opened, and whether a rewarded video was watched to the end.
These events are tied only to the anonymous player ID above. They contain no name, email, contact, or anything you typed. Unity also records basic technical information with them, such as device model, operating system version, and country. You can switch this on or off at any time in the game's Settings ("Share anonymous play data"). Switching it off stops collection immediately. To ask for data already collected to be deleted, email us at the address below.
Leaderboard
The game has a leaderboard of the most coins banked. When you finish a level, your running total is sent to Unity Leaderboards and shown to other players next to a random nickname that Unity generates for your anonymous player ID. The nickname is not your name and is not linked to your Google or Apple account. You never type anything into the leaderboard.
Remote settings
When it starts, the game asks Unity for a small list of on/off settings (for example, whether the daily wheel is available). This sends nothing about you beyond the anonymous player ID.
Optional rewarded advertising
Money Miner shows rewarded video ads only when you choose to watch one — for example, to revive after a failed run or to claim an extra bonus. There are no banner ads, no pop-up interstitials, and no ads that play without you asking for them. You can play the entire game without ever watching one.
These videos are delivered by Unity Ads, a service of Unity Technologies. To serve a video, cap how often you see one, and prevent advertising fraud, Unity Ads may process limited technical information such as your device's advertising identifier, device model, operating system version, and coarse country. That processing is governed by Unity's own privacy policy:
- Unity Privacy Policy: https://unity.com/legal/privacy-policy
How to limit ad tracking. On Android you can reset or delete your advertising ID, and opt out of ad personalisation, under Settings → Privacy → Ads. On iOS you can decline app tracking when prompted, or change it under Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking. Opting out does not stop the rewarded videos from working — it only limits personalisation.
Optional in-app purchases
You can buy coin packs (fixed amounts of in-game coins) with real money. Every coin can also be earned by playing, and nothing in the game can only be bought with money. Purchases are optional.
Payments are handled entirely by your app store (Google Play on Android, the App Store on iOS). We never see or receive your name, payment card, billing address, or account details. The game only receives a confirmation that the purchase went through, plus an order number, which it keeps on your device so the same order is never credited twice. That information is not sent to us.
Purchases are processed under your app store's own terms and privacy policy:
- Google Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy
- Apple Privacy Policy: https://www.apple.com/legal/privacy/
Refunds are requested through your app store. You can block or require approval for purchases using your app store's parental controls or purchase-authentication settings.

Who is responsible. The data controller is Robert Watson, trading as Tidal Wave Media, Calle de Raimundo Fernández Villaverde, 37, 6.º A, 28003 Madrid, Spain. Contact: the email address at the end of this policy.
What is processed, and why.
| Data | Purpose | Legal basis |
|---|---|---|
| Anonymous player ID | Running the leaderboard and the remote settings | Our legitimate interest in providing the game's online features |
| Leaderboard total and generated nickname | Showing the leaderboard | Legitimate interest |
| Anonymous play data (only if you choose "Sure") | Understanding where the game is too hard, too easy or confusing | Your consent, which you can withdraw at any time in Settings |
| Technical data used by the ad network to deliver a rewarded video you chose to watch | Delivering the video, limiting how often it shows, preventing fraud | Legitimate interest. The game tells the ad network that you have not consented to personalised advertising, so the videos are not targeted using your behaviour |
| Purchase confirmation and order number, kept on your device | Making sure a purchase is credited once | Performance of the purchase |
Who receives it. Unity Technologies, which runs the game services, analytics and advertising for us, and your app store for purchases. Unity may process data outside the EU, including in the United States, under the safeguards described in its privacy policy (such as standard contractual clauses). We do not sell your data.
How long it is kept. Play data and leaderboard entries are kept while the game is operated, or until you ask for them to be deleted. Data on your device is removed when you uninstall the game.
Your rights. You can ask to access, correct or delete your data, to restrict or object to its processing, and to receive a copy of it. In the game, Settings → Delete my play data erases the play data collected about you and stops further collection. You can withdraw your consent to play data at any time with the switch in Settings. For anything else, email us. Because the game holds no name or email for you, we may need your anonymous player ID to find your data.
Complaints. You may complain to your local data protection authority. In Spain that is the Agencia Española de Protección de Datos (https://www.aepd.es).
Children
Money Miner is intended for players aged 13 and over and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. Advertising is limited to the rewarded videos described above.
Permissions
The game requests no sensitive device permissions. It does not use your camera, microphone, contacts, location, files, or photos.
Changes to this policy
If the game's data practices change, this policy will be updated and the effective date revised before the change ships in a released build.
