Privacy Policy
This privacy policy applies to the Runies Daycare: Merge & Pets app for mobile devices, together with any related services operated by Dob Studios S.A.C. (collectively, the "Application"). Dob Studios S.A.C. is hereby referred to as the "Service Provider".
Information Collection and Use
The Application requires a Google account to play and stores your progress on the Service Provider's servers. It collects the following information when you download and use it.
Information you provide when you sign in
• Your Google Sign-In identifier and the email address of the Google account you use to play
Information generated by playing
• Your game save: progress, monsters, shelter, currencies, level and missions
• Your in-game mailbox and the rewards you have claimed
• Your in-app purchase history: the store used, the product purchased and the receipt issued by that store
• Push notification identifiers for the devices where you have enabled notifications
Information collected automatically
• Your device's Internet Protocol address
• The pages of the Application that you visit, the time and date of your visit, the time spent on those pages
• The time spent on the Application
• Your mobile operating system
• Crash diagnostics when the Application stops working
• Your device's advertising identifier, used to show and measure advertising (see Advertising)
Account and Data Deletion
You can request deletion of your account and all associated data at any time. You do not need to have the Application installed.
Use the account deletion request form:
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfd5OD4Xaxt6dBXsnRnWDVF3LBSkd-W2EjnF5YLDlswbIyJZw/viewform
Inside the Application, Settings → "Delete account" opens that same form.
What is deleted: your Google Sign-In identifier, your game save, your in-game mailbox and claimed rewards, your push notification identifiers, and the in-app purchase history stored on the Service Provider's servers.
What is not deleted: Google Play transaction and billing records, which are held by Google under Google Play's own policies for tax and accounting reasons; server logs and crash reports, until their retention period expires; and aggregated, anonymized statistics, which can no longer be linked to you.
Deletion is permanent and irreversible. Your progress, monsters, level and in-app purchases cannot be restored.
The Service Provider will verify that the request comes from the account holder before deleting anything, acknowledges requests within 7 days, and completes deletion within 30 days.
Advertising
The Application shows rewarded video advertising through AppLovin MAX. To select, deliver and measure those ads, AppLovin and the advertising networks it works with may process your device's advertising identifier together with technical information about your device.
You can reset or limit your advertising identifier at any time in your device settings (on Android, Settings → Google → Ads; on iOS, Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking). Limiting it does not stop ads from being shown; it reduces how far they are personalized.
The Service Provider does not sell your game save, your email address or your account identifier.
Cookies and tracking technologies
The Application or its third-party SDKs may use cookies, SDKs, pixels, and similar technologies to support functionality, analytics, or service delivery. Where required by applicable law, the Service Provider will obtain consent before using non-essential tracking technologies.
Your Rights
You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal data held by the Service Provider. To delete your account and game data, use the deletion request form linked under Account and Data Deletion. To exercise any other right, or to withdraw consent where processing is based on consent, contact the Service Provider at development@dobstudios.com.
Your California privacy rights (CCPA/CPRA)
If you are a California resident, you have the right to know what personal information is collected, the right to delete personal information, the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information, and the right to non-discrimination for exercising these rights. To exercise your CCPA/CPRA rights, contact the Service Provider at development@dobstudios.com.
The Service Provider may use the information you provide to send important information, required notices, and, where permitted by law, marketing communications.
For a better experience while using the Application, the Service Provider may require you to provide certain personally identifiable information. The information the Service Provider requests will be retained and used as described in this privacy policy.
Third Party Access
The Application depends on third-party services in order to work, and those services receive the data they need to perform their function. This is not limited to aggregated or anonymized data. In particular, Google Firebase stores your account and game data on the Service Provider's behalf, and AppLovin receives device and advertising identifiers in order to deliver advertising.
The Service Provider does not sell your personal information.
International Data Transfers
The Service Provider or its third-party service providers may transfer personal data to countries outside your country of residence, including outside the European Economic Area (EEA). Where applicable law requires safeguards for international transfers, the Service Provider will use appropriate mechanisms.
• Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the European Commission
• Adequacy decisions or other legally recognized transfer mechanisms
• Your consent, where required and legally permitted
Data protection laws in other countries may differ from those in your jurisdiction. Where required by law, the Service Provider will apply appropriate safeguards and obtain any consent required for the transfer.
Please note that the Application utilizes third-party services that have their own Privacy Policy about handling data. Below are the links to the Privacy Policy of the third-party service providers used by the Application:
• Google Play Services — https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/
• Google Analytics for Firebase — https://firebase.google.com/support/privacy
• Firebase Crashlytics — https://firebase.google.com/support/privacy/
• Unity — https://unity3d.com/legal/privacy-policy
• GameAnalytics — https://gameanalytics.com/privacy
• AppLovin — https://www.applovin.com/privacy/
The Service Provider may disclose User Provided and Automatically Collected Information:
• as required by law, such as to comply with a subpoena, or similar legal process;
• when they believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect their rights, protect your safety or the safety of others, investigate fraud, or respond to a government request;
• with their trusted services providers who work on their behalf, do not have an independent use of the information the Service Provider discloses to them, and have agreed to adhere to the rules set forth in this privacy statement.
Opt-Out Rights
You can stop further collection of information from your mobile device by uninstalling the Application. Uninstalling will stop the Application from collecting data from your device, but it does not delete the account and game data already stored on the Service Provider's servers. To have that data deleted, use the deletion request form linked under Account and Data Deletion — you do not need to reinstall the Application to do so.
Data Retention Policy
The Service Provider retains personal data based on its necessity for the stated purposes:
• Account and game data (your Google Sign-In identifier, game save, mailbox, claimed rewards, purchase history and push notification identifiers): retained for as long as your account exists. When you request deletion, this data is erased from the Service Provider's servers — normally within seconds, and within 30 days at the latest.
• Server logs and crash reports: retained for up to 90 days from collection, then deleted automatically.
• Advertising and analytics data held by third parties: retained under each provider's own retention policy; see the links above.
• Google Play transaction and billing records: held by Google under Google Play's policies, for tax and accounting obligations. Deleting your account does not remove them.
• Aggregated and Anonymized Data: retained indefinitely, as it no longer identifies you.
• Data required for legal compliance: retained as long as required by applicable law.
Some data is required for the Application to function: deleting it means deleting your account, and your progress cannot be recovered afterwards.
Children
The Application is not intended for children under 13 years of age, or such higher age as required by applicable law. The Service Provider does not knowingly solicit data from children or market the Application to them.
Where parental or guardian consent is required under applicable law, the Application is not intended for use without that consent. The Service Provider does not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 13 years of age in violation of applicable law. In the event the Service Provider discovers that a child has provided personal information, the Service Provider will immediately delete this from their servers. If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your child has provided the Service Provider with personal information, please contact the Service Provider (development@dobstudios.com) so that they will be able to take the necessary actions.
Security
The Service Provider is concerned about safeguarding the confidentiality of your information. The Service Provider provides physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to protect information the Service Provider processes and maintains.
Data Breach Notification
If a data breach occurs that affects your personal data, the Service Provider will notify you in accordance with applicable legal requirements, including, where required, providing information about the nature of the breach and the steps being taken to address it.
Changes
The Service Provider may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The Service Provider will notify you of material changes by posting the updated Privacy Policy with an effective date. Where required by law, the Service Provider will seek your consent to material changes before they take effect.
Previous versions of this Privacy Policy will be maintained and made available upon request by contacting the Service Provider at development@dobstudios.com.
This privacy policy is effective as of 2026-08-24
Your Consent
Where processing is based on consent, you provide that consent by affirmatively opting in to the relevant feature or action. You may withdraw consent at any time without affecting processing carried out before withdrawal. Processing based on other lawful bases is carried out as described above.
