Privacy Policy for Loktak Lake
Last updated: 29 October 2026 (applies to version 1.2 and later)
Loktak Lake (“the game”, formerly called Lotus Lake) is published by Gavin Porus (AyukLab), the developer named on the game’s Google Play page (“we”). It is an independent game inspired by Loktak Lake and is not affiliated with any government or tourism body.
The short version
- We do not collect any personal information, and we have no servers that receive it.
- From level 10, the game shows adverts provided by Google AdMob.
- Every advert request is marked as directed to children, so Google shows only family-safe adverts rated G.
- The adverts are not personalised, and the game does not read the device’s advertising ID.
What the game stores on your device
The game saves your progress on your own device only:
- the levels you have unlocked and the stars you earned on each one;
- the coins, diamonds and Auras you have collected, and the wizard’s robes you have chosen;
- which nature scenes of the lake you have seen;
- your settings (sound and lake animations on or off);
- how many levels you have won since the last advert.
We cannot see this information. It is deleted when you uninstall the game or clear its data in your device settings.
If your device has Android’s own backup turned on, Android may include this progress in your personal device backup. That backup is run by Google under your Google account, not by us.
Adverts
When adverts appear.
- Levels 1 to 9 have no adverts.
- From level 10, a full-screen advert may appear at most once every three wins, and only after a win, when the player taps to continue.
- The player can also choose to watch a short advert for 5 extra moves (from level 10) or for one diamond a day. These buttons always say “Watch an ad”, so the player knows before tapping.
Who provides them. Google AdMob, a service of Google LLC.
Child-directed settings. We send every request with these settings:
- “treat as child-directed” (COPPA);
- “under the age of consent” (GDPR);
- a maximum content rating of G.
With these settings Google does not use the data for interest-based advertising or remarketing.
What Google may collect. To deliver adverts, measure them and prevent fraud, Google’s software in the game may collect:
- the device’s IP address, which is used to estimate a rough location (country or city);
- information about the device and app, such as model, operating system version and app version;
- how adverts are shown and tapped;
- crash and performance information.
Advertising ID. The game removes the permission to read the advertising ID.
How Google handles this data is described at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites and support.google.com/admob/answer/6223431.
How long information is kept
- On your device: the game’s saved progress stays until you uninstall the game or clear its data.
- With us: nothing, because we receive no information.
- With Google: information that Google’s advert software collects is kept for as long as Google’s own policy says; see policies.google.com/technologies/retention.
What the game does not do
- It does not ask for your name, email address or any account.
- It does not collect location, contacts, photos or files.
- It does not contain analytics or tracking tools of its own.
- It has no chat and no way for players to contact each other.
- It does not offer purchases. Coins and diamonds are earned only by playing and cannot be bought.
Children
Loktak Lake is suitable for children, including children under 13, and takes part in Google Play’s Families programme.
We collect no personal information from anyone. The adverts are restricted as described above, and come only from Google AdMob, which is certified for the Families programme.
A parent who wants no adverts can turn off the device’s internet connection while the child plays. The game works fully offline.
Earlier versions
Versions 1.0 and 1.1 of the game contain no adverts, do not connect to the internet and collect nothing.
Changes to this policy
If a future version of the game changes any of the above, this policy will be updated before that version is released, and the “Last updated” date will change.
Contact
The developer responsible for the game and this policy is Gavin Porus (AyukLab).
