Purchases

Purchases are processed by Google Play. For refunds, see Google Play's refund help. If a purchase did not reach your game, email us with the order number from your Google Play receipt (it starts with GPA.) and we will help.

Privacy requests

To ask about your data, or to have your entry removed from the public rankings, email us with your owner and club name as shown in the rankings. You can also stop taking part in the rankings at any time in the game's Settings. See the privacy policy for details.

Reporting a name in the rankings

If you see an offensive owner or club name in the public rankings, email us the name and where you saw it, and we will remove it.

Terms of Use

Effective date: 2 November 2026

These terms apply to the Android game Civic Football Tycoon (the "Game"), made by an independent developer ("we", "us"). By installing or playing the Game you accept these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Game. Questions: spencemcneil@yahoo.com.

1. Licence

We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to install and play the Game on devices you own or control, for your own non-commercial entertainment. The Game, its code, art, text and design belong to us. You may not copy, modify, sell, rent, decompile or reverse engineer the Game, except where the law expressly allows it.

The Google Play Terms of Service also apply to your download and purchases.

2. A work of fiction

All clubs, players, staff, owners, towns, companies, competitions and events in the Game are fictional and generated by the Game. Any resemblance to real people, clubs or organisations is coincidental. The Game is not affiliated with or endorsed by any football league, club, federation or player.

3. Purchases and in-game currency

• Purchases are made through Google Play and are subject to its terms and refund policies.
• In-game money and items have no real-world value, cannot be exchanged for real money and cannot be transferred or sold.
• Consumable purchases (such as in-game cash) are used up when added to your career. Permanent purchases (such as Remove ads) stay linked to your Google account and can be restored on reinstall.
• Nothing in these terms limits any right to a refund or remedy that you have under the consumer law of your country.

4. Ads

The free Game shows ads provided by Google AdMob. Rewarded ads are always optional and their rewards and daily limits may change. The Remove ads purchase removes all ads except the optional rewarded ones.

5. Saves and progress

Your careers are stored on your device. If you uninstall the Game or clear its data without cloud saves turned on, your progress is lost. We are not responsible for lost progress, but we will try to help if you contact us.

6. Public rankings and names

If you join the optional public rankings, the owner name, club name, town and score you chose are shown to other players. You agree not to use names that are offensive, hateful, sexual, impersonate a real person, contain personal information or infringe someone else's rights. We may hide or remove any entry, and filter names automatically.

You agree not to cheat the rankings, for example by modifying the Game, editing save files or sending fake submissions. We may remove entries we believe are not genuine.

7. Availability and changes

We may update, change or stop any part of the Game, including the rankings and other online features, at any time. The core career is designed to keep working offline. We may update game rules and balance remotely.

8. Disclaimer

The Game is provided "as is" and "as available". To the extent permitted by law, we make no warranties that it will be uninterrupted, error-free or meet your expectations. Nothing in the Game is financial advice: its economy, companies and investments are simulated.

9. Limitation of liability

To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect, incidental or consequential damages, or for loss of data or progress, arising from your use of the Game. Our total liability is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim. Nothing in these terms excludes liability that cannot be excluded by law, including for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud, and nothing affects your statutory rights as a consumer.

10. Ending these terms

You can stop using the Game at any time by uninstalling it. We may suspend your access to online features if you break these terms.

11. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms. We will change the effective date above and, for important changes, tell you in the Game. If you keep playing after a change, the new terms apply.

12. Law

These terms are governed by the laws of the country where the developer is established, without prejudice to the mandatory consumer protection rules of the country where you live, and you may bring a claim in the courts of your own country.

Privacy Policy

Effective date: 2 November 2026

This policy explains how the Android game Civic Football Tycoon (the "Game") handles information. The Game is made by an independent developer ("we", "us"). We designed it to work without accounts and with as little data as possible.

Contact for anything in this policy: spencemcneil@yahoo.com. We are the controller of the data described in sections 3 and 4; Google is responsible for the data it processes under its own policies (sections 5 to 7).

1. Summary

• No account, no sign-up, no name, email or phone number is required to play.
• Your career is saved on your device. The main game plays offline.
• Two features are optional and off until you turn them on: cloud saves (Google Play Games) and the public owner rankings.
• The Game shows ads through Google AdMob. In the EEA, the UK and Switzerland we ask for your consent first, and you can change your choice at any time in Settings.
• We do not sell your data and we do not use your location, contacts, camera, microphone or files.

2. Data stored on your device

Your careers (club, town, owner and game progress), your settings and a random install identifier created by the Game are stored only on your device. This identifier is not linked to your identity or to any advertising identifier. Uninstalling the Game, or clearing its data, deletes all of it.

3. Public owner rankings (optional)

If you choose to join the rankings, at the end of each season the Game sends to our server:

• the owner name, club name, town and country you chose in the Game;
• your career results (seasons, divisions, trophies, town size, generation and legacy score);
• the random install identifier and a random career identifier.

The owner, club, town, country and score are published in the rankings that all players can see. Please do not use your real name or anything personal as an owner or club name.

To prevent abuse, our server counts submissions per install and per network address per day. The IP address is not stored: it is turned into a one-way hash combined with the date, used only for that daily count and deleted after 48 hours. Basic request logs may be kept briefly by our hosting provider (see section 8).

Legal basis: your consent, which you can withdraw at any time by turning the rankings off in Settings. Your entry stays in the rankings until you ask us to remove it; email us and we will delete it.

4. Purchases

In-app purchases are processed by Google Play. We never see your payment details. To confirm that a purchase is genuine, the Game may send the product and the purchase token issued by Google Play to our server, which checks it with Google. We do not store the token. Legal basis: performance of the purchase you asked for.

5. Advertising (Google AdMob)

The Game is free and shows banners, native ads, occasional full-screen ads and ads you choose to watch for a reward. Ads are provided by Google AdMob, which may collect and use information such as your device's advertising identifier, IP address, device and app information and ad interactions, to show, measure and (with your consent) personalise ads, and to prevent fraud.

• In the EEA, the UK and Switzerland, a consent form from Google's User Messaging Platform appears before any ad is requested. You can change your choice at any time in the Game: Settings → Privacy options.
• You can reset or delete your advertising ID, or opt out of personalised ads, in your Android settings (Settings → Privacy → Ads).
• Buying "Remove ads" turns off all ads except the optional ones you choose to watch for a reward.

Learn more in How Google uses information from apps that use its services and the Google Privacy Policy.

6. Cloud saves (optional, Google Play Games)

If you turn on cloud saves, your career save (club, town and owner data, no personal details) is stored privately in the Saved Games area of your Google Play Games account, so you can continue on another device. Only you can access it, and you can turn it off at any time. This is handled by Google under the Google Privacy Policy.

7. Google Play

Google Play may collect information about installs, crashes and app performance under its own policies. We receive only aggregated statistics through the Google Play Console.

8. Service providers and transfers

These providers may process data outside your country, including in the United States, under safeguards such as the EU Standard Contractual Clauses or the EU–US Data Privacy Framework.

9. Retention

• Data on your device: until you delete it or uninstall the Game.
• Rankings entries: until you ask us to remove them, or the rankings are closed.
• Daily anti-abuse counters: deleted after 48 hours.
• Emails you send us: as long as needed to help you, then deleted.

10. Children

The Game is not directed at children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has sent us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.

11. Your rights

Depending on where you live (for example under the GDPR in the EU/EEA and the UK, or under US state laws), you may have the right to access, correct or delete your data, to object to or restrict its use, to data portability and to withdraw consent. Because we do not ask for your identity, please tell us the owner and club name shown in the rankings so we can find your entry. Email spencemcneil@yahoo.com; we will answer within one month. You can also complain to your local data protection authority.

12. Security

Data sent to our server travels over HTTPS and submissions are signed by the Game. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, but we keep what we hold to a minimum.

13. Changes

We may update this policy when the Game changes. We will change the effective date above and, for important changes, tell you in the Game.
