KaeIce Games website

Covers www.kaeicegames.com and everything on it. Last updated: October 12, 2026.

Who we are

This website (https://www.kaeicegames.com) is run by KaeIce Games ("we", "us"). Questions or requests: kaeicegames@gmail.com.

Launch-notification signup

The site is hosted by Netlify, and our "Notify me at launch" signup uses Netlify Forms. When you sign up, Netlify processes and stores your email address and the page you signed up from. We don't have a contact form; if you email us, we use your message only to reply. We use newsletter addresses only to send KaeIce Games news, dev logs and launch announcements, and we don't sell them. Like any web host, Netlify also processes technical data such as your IP address to deliver the site and protect it from abuse.

Local storage on your device

We use your browser's local storage to remember your cookie-notice choice. This data stays on your device and isn't sent to us. You can delete it at any time by clearing this site's data in your browser.

Earlier arcade leaderboards

An earlier version of this site had browser arcade games with public high-score boards. The arcade is no longer offered. If you submitted a score name back then and want it removed, email us (see below).

Cookies

We don't set advertising or analytics cookies ourselves today (games from other companies on the More Games page are covered below). The site works without cookies; the choices above are kept in local storage. If we add ads or analytics later, those services may set cookies, and where the law requires it (for example in the EEA and UK) we will ask for your consent first.

Ads (future)

We may show ads from Google AdSense on this website in the future. If we do, Google and its partners may use cookies to show ads based on your visits to this and other websites. You will be able to opt out of personalized ads at Google Ads Settings, and you can read how Google uses data from partner sites. We will update this policy when ads go live.

Games from other companies (More Games)

Our More Games page embeds games from a third party, Playgama. A Playgama game loads only after you tap it, and it then runs on Playgama's servers, not ours. Playgama and its partners may show their own ads in those games and may use their own cookies or similar tracking, under Playgama's privacy policy. Our own settings don't apply to those games.

Tips (Ko-fi)

Our "Tip Jar" links go to our page on Ko-fi. Ko-fi handles any tips under its own privacy policy; we don't receive your payment details.

Links to other sites

We link to our pages on Facebook, YouTube and TikTok. Those sites have their own privacy policies, and they apply once you follow a link.

Children

This site isn't directed at children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect personal information from them.

Removal and other requests

Email kaeicegames@gmail.com to ask us to delete your launch-notification signup or an old leaderboard entry, or to tell you what we hold about you. Our emails will also include an unsubscribe link.

Changes

If we change this policy, we'll post the new version here with a new effective date.

Lanternfang: Cryptid Card Game (Android app)

Effective date: October 2, 2026
App: Lanternfang: Cryptid Card Game on Google Play (in-game title: Lanternfang: Cryptid Card Battle), Android package com.kaeicegames.lanternfang
Developer: KaeIce Games, run by Eric Green, Texas, United States
Contact: kaeicegames@gmail.com
This policy's address: https://kaeicegames.com/privacy#lanternfang

This policy explains what information Lanternfang uses, why, who else receives it, and how you can delete it. We've tried to keep it short and in plain language. (The website policy above doesn't apply to the app, and this one doesn't apply to the website.)

The short version

• Lanternfang has no accounts and no sign-in. We never ask for your name, email, phone number, contacts, photos or precise location.
• Your game progress, cards and currencies stay on your phone. We don't run servers, and we don't receive them.
• The game shows ads from Google AdMob. To show and measure ads, Google's ad software collects some device information, such as your phone's advertising ID and IP address. You can reset or delete your advertising ID at any time in Android settings.
• The game offers optional purchases (Foxfire currency and Remove Ads). Google Play handles every payment. We never see your card or bank details. We receive a record of each order from Google Play (what was bought, when, the price and your general location, such as your country), but never your card details.

1. Information stored only on your phone

Lanternfang saves this information in the app's own storage on your device:

• Game progress: whether you finished the tutorial, your matches and wins, which Rookie Trail opponents you've beaten, your card collection and deck, your Tallow and Foxfire balances, the packs you've opened and your pack guarantee counters, cosmetic items, the avatar you picked, and how many matches you've played (used to space out ads).
• Settings: sound, music, vibration, music volume, and Fast-forward.

This data is not sent to us. It's needed so the game remembers where you left off.

Important: because there are no accounts and no cloud save, your cards, Tallow and Foxfire exist only on this phone. Uninstalling the game or clearing its storage deletes them, and we have no copy to restore. A Remove Ads purchase can be restored from your Google Play account.

Android backup: if you've turned on backup in your phone's settings, Android may copy the game's saved data to your own Google account backup, so it comes back when you move to a new phone. Google runs that backup under its own terms. We can't see or access it.

2. Advertising (Google AdMob)

Lanternfang shows ads provided by Google AdMob, a Google service:

• Rewarded ads are optional. You choose to watch one in exchange for an in-game bonus.
• Interstitial ads are full-screen ads shown between matches: at most one every third completed match, never during a match, and never in your first three matches.

When ads load, the Google Mobile Ads software inside the app automatically collects and sends to Google:

• Device and account identifiers: your Android advertising ID, the app set ID, and, where applicable, identifiers related to accounts signed in on the device.
• IP address: which can be used to estimate your general location (roughly your city or region, not your exact location).
• Product interactions: for example app launches, taps, and ad views.
• Diagnostic information: for example app launch time, hang rate, and energy use, related to the performance of the app and the ad software.

Why: to show ads, to measure how ads perform, to limit how often you see the same ad, for analytics about ads, and to detect and prevent fraud and abuse.

Sharing: this information goes to Google, which uses it under its own privacy policy. Google may use it to personalize ads, unless you opt out or don't give consent (see below). Data is encrypted in transit using TLS (the same encryption used by secure websites).

Your choices:

• Reset or delete your advertising ID: on most Android phones, go to Settings > Privacy > Ads (or Settings > Google > Ads) and choose "Reset advertising ID" or "Delete advertising ID". If you delete it, apps get a blank ID instead.
• Ads personalization: you can manage how Google personalizes ads at https://myadcenter.google.com/.
• EEA, UK and Switzerland: before ads load, the game shows Google's consent message. You can accept or refuse personalized ads. If you refuse, you may still see non-personalized or limited ads, which use less data. You can change your choice at any time with the "Privacy choices" button in the game's Settings.
• Buy Remove Ads: it turns off interstitial ads and gives you rewarded-ad bonuses without watching. Rewarded ads stay available if you still want to watch them.
• Play offline: the game works without internet, and no ads load while you're offline.

Ads in Lanternfang are limited to Google's "Teen" content level or lower.

3. Purchases (Google Play Billing)

Lanternfang offers optional in-app purchases through Google Play's billing system:

• Foxfire, an in-game currency sold in bundles. Foxfire buys Premium Lantern Packs, which contain random cards, and cosmetic items. The odds of each card rarity are shown in the game before you buy or open a pack.
• Remove Ads, a one-time purchase (see section 2).

How purchase information is handled:

• Google collects and processes your payment details (such as your card number and billing address) under Google's terms and the Google Payments privacy notice. We never receive your payment details.
• When you buy something, Google Play tells the game what you bought (the product, an order number and a purchase confirmation). The game uses this on your phone to add the Foxfire or switch interstitial ads off. We don't run servers of our own and don't store purchase records outside Google's systems.
• Order records. Google Play shows us each order in our developer account and in sales reports: the product, price, date, order number, and location details such as your country (and sometimes state or postal code, for tax purposes). They may include other limited buyer details that Google chooses to provide. They never include your card details. We use them only to deliver purchases, handle refunds and fraud, and keep accounting and tax records. We don't use them for advertising.
• What you do with Foxfire stays on your phone. Which packs you open and which cards you get are saved only on your device and aren't sent to us.
• Restoring purchases: Remove Ads can be restored from your Google account if you reinstall or change phones. Foxfire and cards are saved only on your phone and can't be restored if you uninstall the game or clear its data (see section 1).
• Refunds are handled through Google Play's refund process (https://support.google.com/googleplay/answer/2479637). You can also email us.
• Controlling purchases: you can require a password or fingerprint for every purchase in the Google Play Store app (Settings > Authentication). Parents can require approval for a child's purchases with Google Family Link.

4. If you email us

If you write to kaeicegames@gmail.com, we receive your email address and whatever you choose to include in your message. We use it only to reply and help you, and we don't add you to any mailing list.

5. What we don't do

• We don't have accounts, chat, multiplayer, leaderboards or social features in the game.
• We don't use analytics or crash-reporting tools of our own.
• We don't ask for location, camera, microphone, contacts or file permissions. The app's Android permissions are Internet (for ads and purchases), Vibrate (for haptic feedback, which you can turn off), and standard permissions added by Google's software: network state and advertising ID (for ads) and billing (for purchases).
• We don't sell personal information for money.

6. Third parties and their policies

7. Children's privacy

Lanternfang is designed for teens and adults (ages 13 and up). Its spooky creatures, fantasy combat and optional purchases of random card packs are not made for young children, and the game is not directed at children under 13. We don't knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

We don't collect names, emails or other contact details in the game at all. The only data sent off the phone is the advertising data described in section 2 and the purchase information described in section 3, both handled by Google. Purchases are made with the Google account on the phone, so parents can control them with Google Play's purchase authentication and Family Link approvals. If you're a parent or guardian and you believe your child under 13 has used Lanternfang, contact us at kaeicegames@gmail.com and we'll help. You can also delete the phone's advertising ID (section 2).

8. How long information is kept

• Game progress and settings: on your phone until you delete them (see section 9) or uninstall the game.
• Advertising data: kept by Google according to Google's retention policy: https://policies.google.com/technologies/retention
• Purchase records: kept by Google as part of your Google Play order history. The order records and sales reports we receive are kept as long as tax and accounting law requires (in the US, typically 3 to 7 years).
• Emails to us: kept only as long as needed to answer you, and deleted within 12 months after the conversation ends.

9. How to delete your data

• Game progress and settings: uninstall Lanternfang, or go to Settings > Apps > Lanternfang > Storage > Clear storage. This deletes everything the game saved on your phone, including cards and Foxfire. If you use Android backup, you can also delete the backup from your Google account's backup settings.
• Advertising ID: reset or delete it in Android settings (section 2). To ask Google about data it holds, use the tools at https://myaccount.google.com/ or Google's privacy policy.
• Emails you sent us: email kaeicegames@gmail.com with the subject "Delete my data" and we'll delete our copies within 30 days.
• Purchase history: this lives in your Google Play account (play.google.com > Payments & subscriptions > Budget & history). We can't delete Google's records, and we must keep our own order records for as long as tax law requires.

10. Your privacy rights

Depending on where you live (for example the EU, the UK, or US states such as California), you may have the right to ask what personal information we hold about you, to get a copy, to correct it, to delete it, or to opt out of targeted advertising. Because we don't run servers, the personal information we hold is limited to emails you send us and the Google Play order records described in section 3. For advertising data, use the choices in section 2 or contact Google. To make a request, email kaeicegames@gmail.com. We'll answer within 30 days and won't treat you differently for asking.

11. Security

We don't operate servers that store your information. Data sent by the Google software in the app travels over encrypted connections (TLS). No method of storage or transmission is perfectly secure, but we choose well-known, maintained services.

12. Changes to this policy

If we change how the game uses information (for example adding a new feature or service), we'll update this page and the effective date above before the change goes live. For big changes, we'll also mention it in the game's update notes.
