Is this a Samsung device? If so, then don't use Device Maintenance, or at the very least, make sure it:
1) doesn't perform maintenance on your phone's storage, which is most likely the reason you're losing game data (it wipes the app's cache, which includes game data)
2) it doesn't perform maintenance automatically (on a schedule)
