FarmCapi is a cozy farming game. We collect the minimum needed to keep your farm safe and to improve the game. We don't sell your data and don't show personalized ads.

What we store

Guest ID: a random code created the first time you open the game, with a secret key kept in your browser. The server only keeps a hash of that key.
Game progress: your farm (level, coins, crops, animals, items, settings such as language and sound) and the latest saved versions.
Account (optional): if you choose "Create account & save", we store the email you type, or the ID and email provided by Google or Apple. We never receive your password, and we don't store your name.
Gameplay events: what happens in the game (for example: started playing, first harvest, level up, session length), with time, language and time zone, so we can see where the game is confusing or dull and make it better.
Notifications (optional): if you accept alerts, we store your browser's push subscription, your time zone and the times of upcoming farm events (for example, "chick hatches at 3 p.m.").
Technical data: your IP address is used on the spot to prevent abuse (rate limits) and may appear briefly in server logs.

Email sign-in codes and player keys are stored on the server only as hashes, never in readable form.

Why we use it

To store and restore your farm, including on another device (providing the service you asked for).
To send sign-in codes by email and the alerts you allowed (consent, which you can withdraw anytime).
To measure, in aggregate, whether the game is fun, and to fix problems (legitimate interest).
To protect the service from abuse.

How long we keep it

Farm and account: while you play. If a guest farm with no linked account isn't opened for 60 days, we delete its save, save history, and push subscriptions and scheduled alerts from the server. We keep only the basic player record (ID, hashed key, language, time zone, and creation and last-visit dates) and the gameplay events, which follow the period below.
Gameplay events: 13 months. After that, a daily server job deletes the older events.
Log of alerts sent: we keep a record of which alerts we sent to each farm (so we can stick to 2 a day) for 90 days, then delete it.
Email codes: valid for 10 minutes and deleted within 1 day after they expire.
Push subscription: until you turn alerts off or delete your account. Subscriptions your browser has deactivated are deleted automatically.

Only with services that keep the game running:

Hosting: FarmCapi's server is hosted by Limestone Networks, Inc., in a data center in Dallas, Texas, in the United States. That's where the data described above is stored.
Email: sign-in codes are sent through the email provider FarmCapi has set up, which receives your email address and the message with the code.
Google or Apple sign-in: optional. Google and Apple are involved in sign-in only if you choose to sign in with them.
Notifications: your browser's notification service (Google, Apple, Mozilla or Microsoft) only receives an empty alert. The alert text is then fetched directly from our server.

International transfer. FarmCapi is run from Brazil, and its server is in the United States, so player data is transferred out of Brazil. This transfer follows Article 33 of Brazil's data protection law (LGPD): it happens to provide the service you asked for (storing and restoring your farm), with contractual and security safeguards in place.

Notifications

Notifications are optional, and you can turn them off at any time. We send at most 2 a day, never between 10 p.m. and 8 a.m. in your time zone, and nothing while you're playing. On iPhone, notifications only work if the game is added to your Home Screen, which is an Apple rule.

How to delete your data

In the game, open Settings › Account › "Delete my account and data" and type the confirmation word. We immediately erase from the server your farm, account, linked sign-ins, saved versions, history, gameplay events, alert log and push subscriptions, including those of older farms that were merged into it. The game then starts fresh on this device. If you can't open the game, email privacy@farmcapi.com.

Your rights

FarmCapi is run from Brazil, under Brazil's data protection law (LGPD). You can ask to confirm, access, correct, export, anonymize or erase your data, or withdraw consent, at privacy@farmcapi.com. You may also complain to your data protection authority; in Brazil, that's the ANPD (Autoridade Nacional de Proteção de Dados).

Children

The game is for all ages, and anyone can play as a guest without an account. You need to be 13 or older to create an account. Children under 13 may create an account only with the consent of a parent or legal guardian. If you're a parent or guardian and want a child's account deleted, email privacy@farmcapi.com.

Storage on your device

The game uses your browser's local storage (localStorage) to keep your farm, your guest ID with its access key, and a queue of events not yet sent. We don't use tracking or advertising cookies. The only cookie on the site is fc_lang, explained below.

This website

The farmcapi.com website (these pages outside the game) uses no analytics, ads or third-party scripts, and its fonts are served from the site itself. It sets a single cookie, fc_lang, and only when you pick a language in the language switcher: it remembers that choice for 1 year so the site opens in the same language next time, and it isn't used to track anyone.

Changes to this policy

When this policy changes, the date at the top of the page changes too. Before a significant change takes effect, we'll post a notice on the site and in the game. Questions: contact us.
