Privacy Policy

This policy describes the Ant Empire Tools website for Build An Ant Empire. There are no user accounts, public scores or message wall. Advertising is currently disabled. Google Analytics is optional.

Your calculator inputs

Calculations run in your browser. We do not send your Cash amounts, income measurements, upgrade names or plan names to a server or Google Analytics. Clicking Save plan stores these values under ant-empire-plans-v1 in this browser’s local storage. They stay until you delete them or clear browser data. They do not sync between devices or between the local preview and the public website.

Copying and exporting results

Copy result and Save result image are optional actions you start. They include the displayed Cash, target, income, reserve, upgrade names and costs, and calculated results; they exclude your saved plan name and raw income samples. The text or image is generated on your device and copied to your clipboard or downloaded. This website does not upload it or publish it. If you later paste or upload the result elsewhere, you choose what to share under that service's own privacy policy. The website link included with a copied result uses only fixed sharing labels, with no calculator inputs in the URL.

Deleting saved plans

Use Delete next to a saved plan, Delete all saved plans, or clear this site’s data in your browser settings. Browser privacy settings may prevent saving; calculations still work. Changing your analytics choice does not delete your saved plans.

Your analytics choice

We ask before loading Google Analytics. Rejecting on your first visit, or leaving the choice unanswered, lets you use all tools without loading its tag or sending analytics events. Accepting enables measurement for this site. Open Privacy & analytics settings in the footer to change your choice. Withdrawing stops measurement and removes this site's Analytics cookies without changing your calculator inputs. The Analytics tag already loaded in the current page is disabled; subsequent pages do not load it unless you consent again. Previously collected data is not erased by withdrawing.

While advertising is disabled, our Analytics-only banner provides Accept analytics and Reject analytics to all visitors, including the EEA, UK and Switzerland. We load Analytics only after an explicit acceptance. This choice does not authorize advertising, and all advertising-related consent settings remain denied. Leaving the choice unanswered or rejecting it keeps all tools available without Analytics.

Our banner remembers your choice in local storage under ant-empire-analytics-consent-v2 for 180 days, then asks again. The October 6 update asks for a fresh choice; it does not reuse consent from the earlier banner version. If storage is unavailable, your choice applies to the current page and you may be asked again. These preferences are separate from saved plans.

What optional analytics measures

If you accept, Google Analytics receives page visits, session and engagement information, browser/device information, approximate location and cookie identifiers. Our tool events record a calculation, plan save/load, example selection, result copy or PNG export, code copy, income measurement or application of an income result. Custom parameters are limited to the number of compared upgrades (0–2), the selected built-in example, the copy/PNG method, and whether income was applied to the current plan, upgrade A or upgrade B. Code-copy and result-sharing events do not include copied text, images, inputs or plan names. Automatic form, search, external-link, scroll, video and file-download measurement is disabled.

We remove query strings and fragments from page URLs and referrers supplied by our code. Separately, we accept only complete, fixed campaign labels on incoming links: YouTube or community with tool_demo_v1, result sharing with planner_result_v1, and maintenance testing with batch_one_v1. These predefined source, medium and campaign names may be sent as Analytics campaign fields after acceptance; arbitrary link parameters are not passed through. The labels describe the link used, not a verified identity or proof that a visitor came from that channel. We do not add campaign storage, and maintenance tests are separate from acquired visitors when assessing growth.

Analytics uses first-party _ga and _ga_* cookies, configured to expire after 60 days without extending their expiration on each visit. Google processes analytics data under its privacy policy; data may be processed outside your country. We keep Google signals and Analytics advertising personalization off.

Google consent messages and advertising

Advertising is currently disabled: we do not load AdSense or advertising consent-message scripts, and Auto ads is off. Our publisher verification meta tag and ads.txt file are used for site review and do not load advertising scripts. A Google European consent message has been prepared in the publisher account for future advertising; it is not active on this website. Before advertising is enabled, we will activate and test the required advertising consent flow and update this policy to describe the actual ad behavior. The current Analytics choice does not replace that advertising consent flow.

Hosting and external links

The public website is served by Cloudflare. Cloudflare receives normal web requests, including IP addresses, request URLs and browser information, to serve and secure the site. Infrastructure request logs may be available to the operator; these are separate from calculator inputs, which stay in your browser. See Cloudflare’s privacy policy for its data handling. Opening Roblox or a publisher’s source link visits that service under its own privacy policy.

Support email

For website feedback or corrections, contact hello@antempiretools.com. Cloudflare Email Routing forwards messages to a Gmail inbox operated by the site owner. Cloudflare and Google process the sender address, message content, attachments and delivery information to route and receive your email; see Cloudflare's privacy policy and Google's privacy policy. These services may process data outside your country.

We use support messages to respond to requests and investigate corrections. Sending calculation samples is optional and shares the information you include with us and our email providers. We retain correspondence while needed to handle the request and related follow-up. You can contact the same address to request deletion of your support correspondence. This does not delete plans stored in your browser or previously collected Analytics data. Please do not send passwords or Roblox account credentials.
