PigWars
Last updated: 17 September 2026
PigWars is a game about pigs that fight each other without being told how. It is not a game about collecting data on the people playing it. This page describes exactly what the game stores, why, and how to get rid of it.
What the game stores
| What | Why | Where it lives |
|---|---|---|
| A pseudonymous player identifier | So the server can attribute a battle to the right player. It is derived from a device identifier supplied by the operating system, or from a randomly generated value when the device does not supply one. It is not linked to your name, email or phone number, and it is not used for advertising by PigWars. | On your device, and on the PigWars server when you play online |
| Account (browser version only) | Playing in a browser requires signing in, with an email address and password or with Google. The address is used to sign you in, to verify it, and to reset your password. It is not used for marketing. | Google Firebase Authentication |
| Game progress | Your pigs, their stats and skills, your roster, your battle history and your fallen pigs. This is the game save. | On your device. Also in Unity Cloud Save if you sign in, so progress survives reinstalling. |
| Battle data | When you play an online battle, the pigs taking part and the result are sent to the PigWars server so the battle can be run and scored. | The PigWars server |
| Settings | Volume levels and similar preferences. | On your device only |
Advertising (Android app)
The Android version of PigWars shows ads served by Google AdMob (Google LLC). PigWars shows no banners and no ads before a battle. There are two kinds:
- Optional rewarded ads. After a battle you may choose to watch one in exchange for an in-game reward. Nothing is ever withheld if you decline.
- Occasional full-screen ads between battles, at most one every few minutes.
To serve and measure these ads, and to prevent fraud, Google collects data from your device, which may include the advertising ID, IP address, device and app information, and interactions with the ads. Google processes this data under its own policies. PigWars does not receive this data and does not link it to your game progress.
Consent. In the EU, EEA, UK and Switzerland, the game asks for your consent through Google's consent form before any ad is requested. If you refuse, no personalised ads are shown. You can change your choice at any time from Settings → Ad privacy in the game.
United States. Some US states (such as California, Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut and Utah) give you the right to opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information for targeted advertising. Where this applies, the game shows Google's privacy message and you can opt out at any time from Settings → Ad privacy. PigWars itself does not sell your personal information.
Opting out elsewhere. On Android you can reset or delete your advertising ID, or opt out of ad personalisation, in your device settings under Google → Ads.
The browser version of PigWars shows no ads.
What the game does not do
- No analytics. Analytics are switched off in the build. The game does not track how you play, which screens you open, or how long you spend in them.
- No selling or sharing. Your data is not sold, rented, or shared with third parties for their own purposes, other than the data Google collects to serve ads as described above.
- No location, contacts, photos, microphone or camera. The game does not request these permissions.
Service providers
PigWars uses a small number of third-party services to run. They process data on our behalf, under their own privacy terms:
- Unity Gaming Services (Unity Technologies) — Authentication and Cloud Save, used to keep your game progress across devices. Unity's privacy policy.
- Google Firebase (Google LLC) — hosting for the browser version of the game, and sign-in on that version. Firebase privacy information.
- Google AdMob (Google LLC) — serves the ads in the Android app, and provides the consent form. How Google uses data from apps that use its services.
- Google Play (Google LLC) — distributes the Android app. Google collects its own data when you install and use apps from Play, under Google's privacy policy.
Children
PigWars is not directed at children under 13, and the game does not knowingly collect personal information from them. Ads are not targeted at children. If you believe a child has provided personal information through the game, contact us and it will be deleted.
