PRIVACY POLICY Hidden Cats: Cozy Hunt
1. INTRODUCTION
This Privacy Policy describes how BIG COLORLAB ("we", "us", or "our") manages,
processes, and protects information when you play the mobile game "Hidden Cats: Cozy Hunt"
("the App"). We are committed to safeguarding your privacy and ensuring a safe, relaxing,
and enjoyable experience for all players.
2. INFORMATION WE COLLECT
a. Information We Do NOT Collect:
The App does NOT require user account registration, names, email addresses, phone numbers,
contacts, photos, or precise GPS location. We do not maintain any user databases on private servers.
b. Data Stored Locally on Your Device:
Your gameplay progress (levels completed, cats discovered, available hints, and preferences
such as sound and haptic vibration) is stored entirely locally on your device via internal
storage (SharedPreferences). This data is never transmitted to our external servers.
c. Information Collected by Third-Party Services (Google Mobile Ads / AdMob):
The App integrates the Google Mobile Ads SDK (AdMob) to deliver banner ads, interstitial
transitions, and rewarded hint videos. This third-party service may automatically collect
and process certain technical information, including:
- Device and Advertising Identifiers (such as Google Advertising ID).
- IP addresses and approximate geographic location (city or regional level).
- Performance and diagnostic metrics (crash logs, ad viewability, and interaction data).
All data transmissions initiated by Google Mobile Ads SDK are secured via HTTPS/TLS encryption.
3. HOW INFORMATION IS USED
Technical information collected by our third-party advertising partner is utilized to:
- Serve relevant advertisements and protect against fraudulent activity.
- Enforce frequency capping to prevent repetitive ad interruptions.
- Analyze ad system stability and technical health.
4. DEVICE PERMISSIONS
The App only requests permissions essential for game functionality:
- VIBRATE: To provide pleasant haptic feedback when a hidden cat is found.
- INTERNET & ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE: Required by Google Mobile Ads SDK to fetch and render ads.
- AD_ID (Advertising ID): Used by Google Mobile Ads SDK for ad serving and analytics.
5. USER CHOICES AND DATA CONTROL
a. Resetting Game Data:
You can erase all locally stored gameplay records at any time directly in the game settings
by tapping the "Reset Progress" button.
b. Managing Advertising ID:
You can reset or opt out of personalized ads at any time via your Android device settings:
Settings -> Privacy -> Ads -> Reset advertising ID / Delete advertising ID.
6. CHILDREN'S PRIVACY
The App is a relaxing casual puzzle game intended for general audiences of all ages.
It is not specifically directed at children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly
collect personal information from children.
7. DATA SECURITY
We take the security of your information seriously. Because all game progress is stored
strictly on your local device, and third-party advertising SDK communications utilize
industry-standard HTTPS encryption, your data is treated with utmost care.
8. CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY
We may revise this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect app updates or regulatory
adjustments. Any modifications will be posted here with an updated Effective Date.
