This policy explains what data Argosa: Sea Trade Empire (“Argosa”, “the game”) handles, why, and what never leaves your device. It is written specifically for this game — it describes exactly what this game does, and nothing it doesn’t.
Argosa is published by the game’s independent developer (“we”). You can reach us any time at info@esimostudios.com.
Your save — gold, debt, ship and fittings, cargo, captain experience and skills, commissions, reputation, world day, unlocked achievements, settings, and language choice — is stored locally, in the game’s private app storage. It is not uploaded anywhere by Argosa. Deleting the game deletes this data.
When you buy something (a gold pack, No More Dispatches, or the Starter Merchant’s Pack), the App Store or Google Play processes the payment — we never see your payment details. RevenueCat then validates the store receipt so the game can deliver what you bought and restore it later.
Argosa runs RevenueCat in anonymous mode: we do not send it your name, e-mail, or device advertising ID. Purchases are keyed to the store receipt Apple or Google issues for your account. One game-specific detail worth knowing: Argosa reads your purchase history from RevenueCat to rebuild your lifetime purchased-gold balance — this is how bought gold returns to every new voyage, and how that balance survives if you delete and reinstall the game.
Argosa shows an occasional interstitial ad when you make port, and optional rewarded ads you choose to watch (double sale, free repair, the harbormaster’s price tip, pressing crew). To serve and measure ads, AdMob processes your device’s advertising identifier (IDFA on iOS, AAID/GAID on Android) and coarse technical signals (device model, OS version, approximate region).
Your choices control this:
Purchasing No More Dispatches (alone or inside the Starter Merchant’s Pack) removes interstitial ads permanently. Rewarded ads remain available because they only ever play when you ask for them.
If you are signed in to Game Center (iOS) or Play Games (Android), Argosa submits two numbers to the platform’s leaderboards — your captain experience (“Master Mariners”) and your lifetime gold earned at sea (“Richest Captains”) — and reports your achievement unlocks. Purchased gold is never counted on the Richest Captains board.
Sign-in is handled entirely by Apple or Google; Argosa does not collect or store your platform profile. If you are not signed in, nothing is submitted.
No analytics SDKs (no Firebase Analytics, no Crashlytics, no Sentry). No social logins. No cloud save. No push notifications. No contact, camera, microphone, or location access. If a future update adds a service that handles data, this policy will be updated before that update ships, with the “Last Updated” date changed at the top.
Argosa is a trading and naval-combat game with stylized violence and simulated in-game commerce; it is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone, children included. If you believe a child has made purchases without authorization, contact the App Store / Google Play for a refund under their family policies, and write to us — we will help where we can.
