Data Deletion Request

This page explains how to have data associated with Plunder Tide: Idle Pirate Sim deleted, what is removed, and what we are required to keep.

Option 1 — Delete data stored on your device

Your game progress, currencies, items and settings are stored locally on your device. Uninstalling the app deletes them. No request to us is needed.

So that a reinstall on the same device does not lose your progress, a small copy is kept in the device's secure storage (on iOS, the Keychain, "this device only"); it never leaves the device and is removed when the device is erased. Android's standard app backup and your own iCloud or computer backup may also hold a copy. Those copies live in your own Google or Apple account — we cannot access or delete them for you. Manage them under Settings › Google › Backup (Android) or Settings › [your name] › iCloud › Manage Storage (iOS).

Option 2 — Request deletion of data held by our providers

To request deletion of the records held on our behalf, follow these steps:

1. Send an email to admin@ygappstudio.com
2. Use the subject line: Data Deletion Request — Plunder Tide
3. In the message, state the platform you played on (Google Play or App Store), the ID shown in the game's Settings next to the version (press and hold it to copy the full ID) and, if you made a purchase, its approximate date. If you contacted support before, include that email thread so we can match the records.

We will confirm receipt and complete the deletion within 30 days.

Plunder Tide has no user accounts, logins or profiles. Records are keyed to randomly generated identifiers and are not linked to your name, email or any personal identifier. Because of this we may need the details above to locate the correct records — and in some cases the data is anonymous enough that it cannot be traced back to an individual at all.

What is deleted and what is kept
