Effective Date: January 5, 2026

Introduction

This Privacy Policy describes how the "Cat Chase: Fun Action Escape" application (referred to as "the App" or "we") collects, uses, and protects information in relation to your use of the App. The App uses third-party services, primarily Google's Firebase Analytics and AdMob, for core functionality, analysis, and revenue generation.

I. Information Collected (Via Third-Party Services)

The App does not directly collect personally identifiable information such as your name or email address. We automatically collect the following data through integrated third-party service providers:

1. Identifiers

• Device Identifiers: Used by Firebase to distinguish your device for analytical purposes, fraud prevention, and to measure the size of our user base.
• Advertising Identifiers (such as IDFA or AAID): Used by Google AdMob to display personalized or non-personalized advertisements, subject to user consent and system-level privacy settings, and to measure the effectiveness of ad campaigns.

2. Usage Data and Game Metrics (Analytics)

This data is collected via Firebase Analytics and helps us improve the game experience:

• Product Interaction: Data related to how you use the App, including App launches, usage duration, taps, clicks, and specific game events.
• Game Progress Data: Information about your progression, such as:
  • level_completed and level_failed events.
  • Associated parameters, including level_number, retries_count_at_fail, and failure_reason (e.g., "Caught by the dog!").
• Advertising Data: Ad views, clicks, and impressions used for measuring ad campaign performance.

3. Diagnostics

Used to monitor the App's stability and performance:

• Crash Data: Information recorded when the App crashes.
• Performance Data: Data on launch time and power consumption.

II. How We Use the Information

• Game Optimization: To analyze game difficulty and balance based on collected metrics (e.g., using failure_reason data to adjust level design or dog AI).
• Analytics: To evaluate user behavior, understand feature usage, and plan future game updates or content.
• Advertising: To display interstitial and rewarded advertisements through AdMob, which serves as the primary revenue source for the App's maintenance and development.
• Troubleshooting: To monitor App stability, quickly identify and fix bugs, and improve overall performance.

III. Information Sharing

We do not sell your personal information. We share the collected data with the following essential service providers:

• Google Firebase: Used as our analytics platform for storing and processing usage and diagnostic data.
• Google AdMob: Used as our advertising network to manage and display advertisements within the App.

These third parties are obligated to protect your information in accordance with their respective privacy policies.

IV. Your Choices and Rights

• Advertising Tracking: You can limit the use of your Advertising Identifier for personalized advertising by adjusting your device’s system privacy settings. This may reduce the number of targeted ads you see but will not eliminate advertisements entirely.

V. Data Retention & Deletion

The App provides users with a direct and accessible mechanism to delete their account or associated in-app data, ensuring full control over their personal information. Where applicable, users may initiate the permanent and irreversible deletion of their account and any associated authentication or device-based data directly within the App’s Settings menu by selecting the “Delete Account” button.

Account deletion can be completed without contacting customer support, and all related data will be removed in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.

VI. Children's Privacy

The App is not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children, and we do not serve personalized ads to users under 13. If you believe that a child has provided personal information to us, please contact us immediately, and we will take steps to remove such information.

VII. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted within the App or on this page, and the "Effective Date" at the top will be updated accordingly. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
