Privacy Policy
At a glance
- There is no sign-up or login. We don't ask for your name, email, phone number, contacts, photos, or precise location.
- Your game progress (levels, stars, decorations, settings) is stored only on your device. We have no servers.
- To make the game better, we send usage events (a random ID and game events) to PostHog.
- Ads are served by Google AdMob. The advertising identifier (IDFA) is used for personalized ads only if you tap "Allow" on the iOS tracking prompt.
- Apple Game Center is optional; Apple handles sign-in and leaderboards.
1. Scope
This policy applies to the iOS app "Meow Puzzle House" (the "app"). The privacy policies of the outside services used in the app (PostHog, Google AdMob, Apple Game Center) also apply.
2. Information that stays on your device
The following is stored only in the app's storage on your device and is never sent to us:
- Levels cleared and stars, decoration progress, adopted cats, lives and paws
- Settings (language, music and sound effects, vibration)
- Ad frequency records (such as when the last interstitial ad was shown) — used to keep ads infrequent
- A copy of recent usage events (up to 500) — kept on the device for development and troubleshooting
The result card you share is created on your device, saved to a temporary folder, and handed to the iOS share sheet. We never learn what you shared or with whom.
3. Usage analytics (PostHog)
We use PostHog, Inc.'s analytics service to learn things like which levels are too hard and whether the tutorial is easy to follow.
What is sent
- Random install ID: a random value created on your device the first time you open the app. It is not the advertising identifier (IDFA) or a hardware serial number, and it disappears when you delete the app.
- Session ID and the number of days since first launch
- Game events: app open/close, practice and tutorial progress, level start/clear/fail/quit (level number, stars, time taken, mistakes and hints), hint use, decorating, lives used and refilled, ad requests/impressions/rewards/failures and their reasons, Game Center sign-in result and submitted scores, share and invite button results, language changes
- Technical information: app language, device type, OS version, screen size and similar details the PostHog library adds by default
- IP address: received by PostHog when data is sent; PostHog can use it to estimate an approximate location (country/city level).
We do not use session recording or automatic click capture. We never send your Game Center name or ID to analytics. Analytics data is not used for advertising and is not sold.
Retention: Retention period not yet set
4. Advertising (Google AdMob)
The app shows ads through Google LLC's AdMob (rewarded ads only when you choose to watch; interstitial ads occasionally after you clear a level). To serve and measure ads, Google may collect:
- IP address (to estimate approximate location), the advertising identifier (IDFA — only if you allow tracking) and app- or developer-scoped device identifiers
- Ads you've seen, interactions such as ad clicks and views, performance data such as app launch time, and crash logs
App Tracking Transparency (ATT): the first time ads are prepared, iOS asks whether to allow tracking. If you allow it, Google may use the IDFA to show personalized ads; if you don't, ads are shown without the IDFA. Either way, the game is exactly the same. You can change this later in iOS Settings › Privacy & Security › Tracking.
European Economic Area, UK and Switzerland: we ask for ad consent with Google's consent form (UMP). In these regions the app shows Settings › Privacy choices, where you can change your choice at any time.

5. Apple Game Center
Signing in to Game Center is optional, and every puzzle is playable without it. Apple handles sign-in, leaderboards (Stars Collected, Best Level) and friend lists. The app reads your Game Center display name and ranks on the device to show leaderboards, but never sends them to our analytics or anywhere else. To show friends' ranks, iOS asks separately for access to your friend list. Apple Privacy Policy
6. Sharing with third parties and international transfers
We do not sell personal information. The companies below process information for the features above, and each is bound by its own terms and policies to protect it at a level equal to or higher than this policy.
| Recipient | Country | Information | Purpose | When and how | Retention |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| PostHog, Inc. | United States | Section 3 | Usage analytics | Sent over the internet (HTTPS) while you use the app | Retention period in Section 3 |
| Google LLC | United States | Section 4 | Serving and measuring ads, fraud prevention | Sent over HTTPS when ads are prepared and shown | Per Google's policy |
If you do not want your information transferred abroad, you can stop using or delete the app. You can prevent use of the advertising identifier by declining tracking.
7. Retention and deletion
- On-device information: deleting the app erases your progress, settings and random install ID. If you reinstall, you start fresh with a new ID. Progress is not backed up to the cloud.
- Analytics data: to request deletion, contact us using the details below. We will delete it without undue delay to the extent we can identify it.
- Advertising data: kept by Google; you can manage it in Google My Ad Center.
- Game Center records: managed through your Apple Account and iOS Game Center settings.
8. Children's privacy
The app is a puzzle game anyone can enjoy, but it is not primarily directed at children under 13 (or the equivalent minimum age in your country), and we do not knowingly collect personal information that identifies a child. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child's information has been sent, please contact us and we will delete what we can identify.
9. Your rights
Depending on where you live (for example, Korea's Personal Information Protection Act, the EU/UK GDPR, or California's CCPA/CPRA), you may request access to, correction or deletion of, restriction of processing of, or withdrawal of consent for your information. You can turn off personalized ads at any time by declining tracking or through "Privacy choices" in the app. Send requests to the contact below. You also have the right to complain to the supervisory authority in your country.
10. Security
Everything the app sends is transmitted over encrypted connections (HTTPS). We do not store user information on servers of our own.
11. Changes to this policy
If we change this policy, we will update the effective date on this page and announce significant changes, for example in app update notes.
