Privacy Policy
Last updated October 24, 2026.
Midnight Bakery is developed and published by Ripley Forge LLC. This policy describes the Android game and these support pages. For privacy questions, contact [email protected].
Version 1.0: All 20 levels and both themes are free. Rescue tokens are available to everyone. Optional rewarded ads are offered only to players who select “18 or older.” Older prototype builds use Google test ads.
Game progress stays on your device
The game stores unlocked and completed levels, scores, the current board and remaining moves, selected pastry, theme, sound preference, help prompts you have seen, rescue-token earning and spending, and reward status on your device. The Android app also saves your selected age category (18 or older, under 18, or not provided) and optional-ad preference locally. It does not ask for your birth date. This lets you resume play and receive a completed ad reward once. Midnight Bakery does not require an account or operate a server that receives your saved game.
The Android game does not offer cloud sync or a progress export. It disables Android automatic cloud backup. Uninstalling or clearing the app’s storage removes local progress; device transfers should not be relied on to preserve it. A browser preview stores progress separately in that browser’s local storage.
Age and privacy choices
At first launch, you choose an age group or “Prefer not to say.” Under-18 and unspecified-age settings do not start Google’s consent or ad services. All levels, pastry powers, and rescue tokens remain available. Adults can turn optional ads off or change their age setting under Privacy & ads on the home screen.
For adults with optional ads enabled, Google’s User Messaging Platform checks privacy requirements when the app opens and presents a privacy form where applicable. Google processes technical request information and consent choices to provide this service. Privacy & ads → Google ad privacy choices lets you revisit the form when available. If the privacy check fails, the game does not request ads.
Optional Google rewarded ads
The Android game includes Google’s Mobile Ads service (AdMob). For adults with optional ads enabled and a successful privacy check, the ad service initializes when an ad is requested. Ads are configured for non-personalized delivery with a general-audience content limit. When your rescue tokens run out, completing an eligible rewarded ad offers five additional moves. Each attempt allows one rescue, using either a token or an ad. You can skip the ad and restart for free.
Google’s ad service may receive your IP address, approximate location inferred from it, ad interactions such as taps and video views, device or app identifiers, and performance information. Google uses this information to deliver and measure advertising and prevent fraud. The current Android build removes the advertising-ID permission and disables the ad SDK’s crash reporting; those settings do not prevent all SDK data collection. Google encrypts SDK data in transit.
Read Google’s Privacy Policy and how Google uses information for advertising for its data handling and controls. The game does not send your saved board or level history to a developer-operated analytics service. Google’s own ad measurement is separate from that local game storage.
Your choices and deletion
You can play the puzzles without requesting an ad. Selecting “Under 18” or “Prefer not to say” avoids Google privacy and ad requests. Adults can disable optional ads in Privacy & ads; disabling them prevents future requests from the game. Data already sent is not recalled. To remove locally saved game data, use Android Settings → Apps → Midnight Bakery → Storage → Clear data (wording varies by device), or uninstall the game. This permanently removes your progress. For a browser preview, clear that site’s browser data.
Deleting the game does not delete information already held by Google or support messages you sent. Use Google’s privacy controls for its services, or contact us about information you have sent to Ripley Forge LLC. We do not hold a separate copy of your locally saved game to restore or delete.
Audience
Midnight Bakery is intended for teens and adults aged 13 and over and is not directed to children under 13. The game does not ask for a name, date of birth, or email address to play. If you believe a child under 13 has supplied personal information to us, contact us so we can address the request.
Purchases and other permissions
Both bakery themes are free. Rescue tokens cannot be purchased. Purchases and subscriptions are not enabled, and the game does not request payment-card information. It does not request access to your contacts, camera, microphone, photos, or precise device location.
Support messages
If you email us, we receive your email address, message, and any attachments you choose to include. Support and privacy mail is handled through an iCloud Mail mailbox managed by the developer. Messages are retained there without a fixed automatic deletion schedule; you can contact us to request deletion. Apple handles the email service under its own privacy terms.
The developer may use a third-party AI tool to help investigate an app issue. Names, email addresses, and personal details unrelated to troubleshooting are removed before sharing a report, but relevant message text or attachments may be provided to the tool’s provider under its own terms. Please avoid including sensitive personal information in support messages.

Ripley Forge LLC has not added advertising, analytics, tracking cookies, or a contact form to these pages. Visiting them does not upload your game progress.
Updates and contact
We will update this policy as the game’s features and data practices change. This policy covers the version 1.0 release being prepared for Google Play and the support website. Older test builds may have different privacy controls and show only test ads.
