1. Overview
Find The Cat Meow is a logic puzzle game for iPhone and iPad. We aim to keep data collection limited to what is needed to operate the app, save your preferences, support optional advertising, maintain the game, and respond when you contact us.
2. Information stored on your device
The app may store information locally so your game can continue where you left off. This can include:
- completed levels, scores, puzzle progress and Daily Challenge progress;
- hint and Cat Assist usage;
- fish/chance state and gameplay settings;
- theme, cat appearance, Pattern Mode, language, music, sound-effect and meow-sound preferences;
- tutorial state and other app preferences.
This information is generally removed when you delete the app, unless it is also included in an operating-system backup controlled by you.
3. Information we may receive
When the app communicates with our configuration or support services, standard technical information may be processed, such as:
- app version and platform;
- request time and basic diagnostic information;
- IP address and server logs automatically generated when a network request is made.
We use this information for service delivery, security, troubleshooting and app maintenance.
4. Advertising and Google AdMob
Find The Cat Meow may display ads using Google AdMob / Google Mobile Ads. Depending on your region, privacy choices, device settings and consent status, Google and its advertising partners may process information such as device information, IP address, advertising identifiers, approximate location inferred from IP, ad interactions, impressions, diagnostics and related advertising data.
We may use formats such as small native ads and optional rewarded ads. Rewarded ads are shown only when you choose to use an ad-supported reward or feature. Ads are controlled by our remote ad configuration so specific placements can be enabled or disabled.
| Purpose | Examples | Who may process it |
|---|---|---|
| Ad delivery | Device information, IP address, ad requests | Google AdMob and advertising partners |
| Ad measurement | Impressions, clicks, rewarded-ad completion | Google AdMob and advertising partners |
| Fraud / security | Diagnostics and request signals | Google and service providers |
App Tracking Transparency
On iOS, if the app requests permission to track you across apps and websites owned by other companies, Apple’s App Tracking Transparency permission prompt will be shown. You can allow or deny this request. The app should continue to function if you decline tracking permission, although advertising may be less personalized.
Consent and privacy options
Where required, the app may use Google’s consent tools to collect your advertising choices. You can also change applicable privacy choices through the in-app privacy options when available, or through your iPhone/iPad privacy settings.
5. Voice guidance and hints
The app may provide spoken hint guidance using text-to-speech features on your device. Hint text may be processed by iOS text-to-speech services to generate speech. The app is designed so that voice guidance can be turned off and captions remain available.
6. Support communications
If you contact us by email, we receive the information you choose to send, such as your email address, message, screenshots or technical details. We use this information only to answer your request, troubleshoot issues and improve support.
7. Your privacy choices
You can remove local app data by deleting the app. Certain iCloud/device backups are controlled by your Apple settings.
You can review tracking permissions in iOS Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking.
You can review any app permissions from iOS Settings at any time.
You may contact us to ask questions about privacy or support data you previously sent to us.
8. Data retention
Local gameplay information remains on your device until it is removed by you, cleared by the app, or removed during uninstallation. Support emails and technical server logs may be retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for support, security, legal compliance and service operation.
9. Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational safeguards to protect information handled by our services. No internet transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
10. Children
Find The Cat Meow is designed as a general-audience puzzle game. We do not knowingly ask children to provide personal information directly to us. If you believe a child has sent personal information through a support request, please contact us so we can review and address it.
11. International processing
Third-party providers such as Apple, Google and their service providers may process information in countries other than your own. Their handling of information is governed by their own privacy policies and applicable law.
12. Third-party services
The app may rely on Apple platform services and Google advertising services. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies. We encourage you to review Apple’s and Google’s privacy information if you want more detail about how those companies process information.
13. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy when features, advertising practices, legal requirements or service providers change. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page will be revised when we make a material update.
