1. The short version

The full game is playable completely offline, with no account. Your game save — your monsters, progress, Coins and Daybucks — is stored only on your own device; we never receive it and cannot see, back up or restore it. The game also offers optional online friend features: if you choose them, you sign in with Google and a small amount of account and friends data is stored by Google Firebase so those features can work (section 3). We do not sell or rent personal information — never have, and we will not.

2. Information stored on your device

To make the game work as a persistent adventure, the game stores gameplay data locally on your device (localStorage in a browser, or the equivalent on-device storage in the app):

• The trainer name you choose and the character you pick when you start the game.
• Your profile avatar choice — your trainer picture, or one of your own monsters.
• Your team of monsters, their levels, experience, health and evolution stage.
• Your Coins, Daybucks and item balances, and items, gym equipment and trainer clothing you own.
• Which worlds you have unlocked, where your trainer is standing, and steps taken.
• Boss Stadium and Trainer Legend progress, your on-device friends list and simulated battle record, and battle win / loss counts.
• Your MonsterDex record — which monsters and forms you have seen or owned.
• The date and time your game was last saved, so the game can show its save status.

This data stays on your device. It is not uploaded or synced anywhere by the game itself. Playing on a different phone, computer or browser starts a new game there — or use Move or back up my save on the Profile page to carry your save to another device yourself. Clearing your browser's site data, clearing the app's storage, or using the in-game Start a New Game option permanently deletes this local save.

3. Signing in with Google (optional) — the friends features

Friend features — friend codes, gifts, 1:1 messages, friendship progress and battles against friends' real teams — are optional and need an account. If you use them, you sign in with Google; sign-in and the friends backend are provided by Google Firebase (Firebase Authentication and Cloud Firestore). If you sign in, Firebase stores:

• Your email address (from your Google account) and your Firebase user ID.
• Your trainer / display name.
• Your published profile: your trainer's look, Trainer Level, your showcase team of up to 3 monsters, and your boss and Trainer Legend progress. Your Coin and Daybucks balances are never published.
• Your friend connections and your personal invite code.
• Gifts you send and receive, messages you send and receive in 1:1 friend chats, referral records and a grant log of Daybucks paid by the friends system, and your friendship-meter progress with each friend.

Your profile and showcase are visible to players you are connected with as friends. Your messages are visible only to you and the friend you are messaging. We use this information only to operate the friends features, and to respond to support and deletion requests and comply with legal obligations. If you never sign in, none of the above exists and this section does not apply to you.

4. Sharing and third-party services

We do not sell or rent personal data. Account and friends data is processed by Google Firebase strictly as the service provider that runs the game's backend; Google sign-in is governed by Google's own privacy policy. We may disclose information if required by law.

Web fonts: the web version loads display fonts from Google Fonts. When your browser requests those fonts, Google may receive standard technical information such as your IP address and browser type, as described in Google's own privacy policy. No gameplay data is sent with that request.

App stores and web portals: if you download or play DIC Monsters through a store or portal (for example Google Play or itch.io), that store or portal may collect information under its own privacy policy. We do not control that collection.

5. Advertising and tracking

The current version of the game contains no advertising, no in-app purchases and no third-party advertising or analytics trackers. If that ever changes, this policy will be updated before the change ships.

6. Data retention

Local save data stays on your device until you delete the game or its storage. Account and friends data is kept while your account exists, so your friends list, gifts, messages and friendship progress are there when you sign in.

7. Your choices — account and data deletion

You can delete your online account and its data at any time, right in the game: Profile → Delete my online account (next to Start a New Game). Deletion happens right away and removes your Firebase account, profile and showcase, invite code, friend connections and friendship progress, gifts sent and received, 1:1 messages, referral records and grant log. Your local device save is not affected — it stays yours, on your device.

You can also email kmnovenski@gmail.com from the email address on your account; verified email deletions are completed within 30 days.

8. Children

DIC Monsters is a general-audience game. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has signed in and provided us data, contact us at kmnovenski@gmail.com and we will delete it.

9. Security

Account access is protected by Google sign-in through Firebase Authentication. Backend data is protected by access rules that restrict players to their own account data, except for the profile information a player publishes to their friends and the messages they exchange with them. No system is perfectly secure, but we take reasonable measures to protect your information. Please never send passwords or other sensitive information when contacting us — the game never needs them.

10. Contact and changes

Questions about this policy or your data: TTVTheDayman, email kmnovenski@gmail.com, or through Dayman's Twitch channel and the Dayman's Inner Circle (DIC) community.

If this policy changes, the updated version will be published on this page with a new effective date at the top, before or at the time the version containing the changes is released.

📨 Invite friends to join the test

For someone NEW who doesn’t have the game yet — send them this invite so they can join the test.

Google asked us to run the closed test again — and the more testers playing every day, the stronger our run to launch. Here's how inviting works: tap Invite Friends below, choose the app you want to send it through — Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Snapchat, Messages, whatever you've got — and send it to a friend. Your invite is one message with two links: your friend joins the group with the first link, then gets the game with the second. Easy! 💚
💡 The invite even carries a tip for your friend: if either link gives them any trouble, copy it and open it in their browser the first time.
