Privacy Policy
Summary
This policy explains what information the Pounce Cat Game app ("the App") handles. The App is operated by Emre Uzun ("we", "us").
- You don't need an account. We don't ask for your name, email, phone number or location.
- We don't run our own servers or analytics, and we don't sell your data.
- The App shows ads served by Google AdMob, which may collect certain device data as described below.
1. Data stored on your device
The App saves your preferences on your device only: language, game length, volume, touch tolerance, difficulty, screen orientation, number of animals per game, and your scores. This data never leaves your device and is deleted when you delete the App.
2. Advertising (Google AdMob)
The App displays banner ads in its menus and full-screen (interstitial) ads when a game starts and after some cat-sound taps. No ads are shown while a game is being played. Ads are provided by Google AdMob. Google and its partners may collect and use:
- device identifiers, including the advertising identifier (IDFA) if you allow tracking;
- IP address and approximate location derived from it;
- ad interaction and diagnostic data (for example, ad views and clicks, app crashes, performance).
This data is used to deliver, measure and personalize ads and to prevent fraud. We request ads rated for general audiences (content rating "G"). To learn how Google uses data from apps that use its services, see policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites and the Google Privacy Policy at policies.google.com/privacy.
3. Your choices
- App Tracking Transparency (iOS): the first time you open the App, iOS asks whether the App may track you. If you choose "Ask App Not to Track", ads are still shown but are not personalized using your advertising identifier. You can change this anytime in iOS Settings › Privacy & Security › Tracking.
- Consent (EEA, UK and similar regions): where required by law, a consent form from Google's User Messaging Platform is shown. You can review or change your choice in the App under Settings › Privacy settings.
- Limit ad personalization: iOS Settings › Privacy & Security › Apple Advertising.
4. Children
The App is designed to be used by pet owners and is not directed to children under 13 (or the minimum age in your country). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information through the App, contact us and we will help.
5. Sharing and retention
We do not share personal data with anyone, other than what Google AdMob collects directly as described above. We keep no personal data on our side. Google retains data according to its own policies.
6. Your rights
Depending on where you live (for example under the GDPR, UK GDPR or CCPA), you may have rights to access, correct, delete or restrict the use of your personal data, and to withdraw consent. Because we don't hold personal data about you, requests concerning ad data should be directed to Google through your Google account's privacy controls. You can also contact us with any question.
7. Security
Preferences are stored in the App's private storage on your device and protected by iOS. Ad traffic is handled by Google.
8. Changes
We may update this policy. The latest version is always available in the App, with the date below.
