Privacy policy
FossilHaven is published by Veery Games, Israel (“we”). Privacy contact: support@veerygames.com. This policy covers FossilHaven: Dino Resurrection on Android, its browser version and its pages on veerygames.com. You can play as a guest, or sign in with Google so your save can be restored; the game offers in-app purchases through Google Play. FossilHaven does not show advertising.
Playing as a guest
You can play without an account. When you first play, the game creates a random device-session identifier and keeps it on your device; it is sent to our game server (hosted on Cloudflare) with your requests so the game can find your saved game and continue where you left off. It does not contain your name or email address.
Your game progress is stored on our servers under that identifier: fossils, skeletons and resurrected residents, currency balances and inventory, dig sites, research, activities, projects, cosmetics, crafting, material commissions and field journals, with related records and timestamps. As you play, our server also records short gameplay events with your save (an event name, a few details and the time — for example an activity started or completed, or a habitat expanded) that help us understand how the game is played. While the game is open and on screen it lets the server know it is in use about once a minute. These events are stored with your save and deleted with it.
On your device the game stores a copy of your progress, preferences and goals, and actions waiting to be sent. On Android this is kept in the app’s local storage; the Android app does not use Android’s automatic backup for this data. Uninstalling can remove your local link to a guest save; it does not delete that save from our server.
Extra performance diagnostics are disabled in the Android app. If enabled in a future version, they may send frame timing, scene activity, asset loading and available memory, linked to your game identifier.
The app contains no third-party analytics, crash-reporting or advertising SDKs.
You can download your save or delete it any time in Settings; deleting a guest save removes it from our servers. Deleting in the app takes effect on our servers as soon as the game confirms it. Guest saves have no expiry date: they are kept until you delete them. Starting a new reserve does not delete the old one. Cloudflare’s database recovery system can retain earlier game records for up to 30 days; active-save deletion does not itself prove immediate erasure of recovery history.
Signing in with Google (optional)
You can play as a guest. If you choose “Sign in with Google”, Google tells us a stable account identifier for your Google account. We do not receive or store your email address or name. We store only a one-way fingerprint (a SHA-256 hash) of that identifier, used to find your save when you sign in again on any device.
When signed in, your game progress is stored on our servers so you can restore it on another device. Sign-in tokens on your phone are encrypted with a key held in Android’s secure keystore; on our servers we keep only fingerprints of renewal tokens. Account saves are kept while the account exists, with no inactivity expiry, and are deleted with the account.
Purchases
Purchases are processed by Google Play; we never see your card or payment details. To deliver and restore what you bought and to prevent fraud, we check each purchase with Google and keep a purchase record: the item, when it was bought, which account/save it belongs to, and a fingerprint of Google’s purchase token. We keep a purchase record only as long as it is needed to deliver and restore your purchase and to stop the same purchase from being granted twice. In the current version these records have no automatic deletion date, and deleting your account does not remove them. They contain no name, email address or payment details. Payment, order and tax records are kept by Google Play.
Deleting your account and data
In Settings you can export your save or delete it. Deleting a signed-in account erases your saved progress and signs out every device. Some small records remain, each with no automatic deletion date in the current version: a deletion marker (random account ID, save ID and deletion time) so the deleted save can never be restored or replayed; the purchase records described above; a sign-in lookup record (a one-way fingerprint of your Google account identifier and your old random account ID; replaced with new IDs if you sign in again); records of the ended sign-in sessions (no tokens); and an index from your account ID to its save. None of these contains your name, email address or game progress. We will set deletion dates for these records once we have confirmed that removing them cannot let a deleted save, sign-in or purchase be replayed.
You can also request deletion without the app by emailing support@veerygames.com with the subject “Delete my FossilHaven account” and your account ID (see Delete your FossilHaven data). We may ask you to verify that the account is yours before removing it. We aim to complete verified deletion requests within 30 days and confirm by email. Support email about a deletion request is kept until manually deleted.
Download my data in Settings saves a JSON record for your records; it cannot be used to restore progress. Uninstalling the game or starting a new reserve does not delete your save from our server.
Who we share data with
We do not sell your data. Google provides sign-in and Play Billing, and Cloudflare hosts our servers; both act as our service providers. Our game server does not write its own activity or error logs. Cloudflare, which runs it, processes technical request information (such as IP addresses) to deliver and protect the service, under its own privacy policy. Data is encrypted in transit (HTTPS). Email sent to support@veerygames.com is forwarded by Cloudflare Email Routing to a support mailbox hosted by Google. If you contact support, the address you write from is used only to answer you. Cloudflare also processes technical network and security information under its own privacy policy.
Your choices
Play as a guest to avoid account data entirely; export or delete your save in Settings, or request deletion on the web page above. If you email us, we receive your email address, your message and anything you choose to include. Support emails, including your address, message and anything you choose to attach, are kept in our support mailbox until manually deleted. We do not currently apply an automatic deletion period.
Audience
FossilHaven is made for players aged 13 and older. If you believe a child under 13 has given us information, please contact us so we can help. This is our intended audience, not a store age rating.
This website
The FossilHaven pages on veerygames.com do not include analytics, advertising pixels or embedded content from other services. They are delivered by Cloudflare, which processes technical information such as your IP address and browser details in order to serve and protect the pages.
