Privacy policy — Gnome Heist
Last updated: 12 November 2026
Gnome Heist ("the game") is made by MD Digital Productions Ltd (trading as Mikolaj Studios), company no. 13409273, registered in England and Wales, registered office 27 Old Gloucester Street, London WC1N 3AX, United Kingdom. Contact: support@mikolajstudios.com.
The short version
We don't collect, sell or share any personal data, and we hold none. There are no online accounts, no analytics and no tracking; player profiles exist only on your device.
What stays on your device
The game works without an internet connection and makes no network requests. Your player profiles (the funny names you pick, your gnome's colours and skins), your progress (badges, levels, coins and gems, the gear you buy, and a heist you save to finish later) and your settings are saved only on your device, and in your device's own backups if you use them. They are never sent to us or to anyone else. Deleting the game deletes them.
Studio codes from our website are checked on your device: entering one sends nothing.
Online play
This version of Gnome Heist has no online play. If a later version lets you play with friends online, this policy will explain, before that version is released, what passes between the players and who runs the server.
Links to our website
Two buttons in the game's Settings open pages on our website, mikolajstudios.com, in your browser: "Help and support", and "Read the full privacy policy". Each asks a question for a grown-up first. The website has its own privacy policy: https://mikolajstudios.com/privacy/
Crash reports
We don't use a crash-reporting service. If you have agreed to share diagnostics with Apple or Google in your device settings, they may give us anonymous crash statistics through their developer tools. That is governed by your settings and their policies.
Permissions
The game asks for no special permissions: no camera, microphone, location, contacts, photos or notifications. On Android it uses vibration (for haptics) only.
Children
Gnome Heist is a family game, and we expect children to play it, including children under 13. We've made it with that in mind:
- There's no chat and no account, and nowhere to type a message. Names are picked from built-in lists.
- We don't collect personal data from anyone, children included. Profiles, progress and settings stay on the device.
- There are no analytics and no tracking, and the game uses no advertising IDs.
- This version has no online play, and the links to our website open only after a question for a grown-up.
If a future version shows adverts, they will be suitable for children and not personalised, and we'll update this policy before that version is released.
Parents and carers can ask us anything at support@mikolajstudios.com.
Your rights
Because we hold no personal data about you, there is nothing for us to access, correct or delete. If you have a question about privacy, email support@mikolajstudios.com.
Changes
If this policy changes, we will update the date above and publish the new version at this address. If a future version of the game ever starts collecting data, this policy will say so before that version is released.
