Information we collect and how we collect it
When you interact with our games, we may collect both personal and non-personal data.
Personal data collected through the Apps
Our Apps do not collect your personal data.
When you contact us by email, we collect your name, email address, and any information that you decide to provide us in your message. We use your personal data to respond to your enquiries and provide you with the requested information. The legal bases that we rely on when processing such personal data are “pursuing our legitimate business interests” (i.e., to grow and promote BittyPaw) and “your consent” (for optional personal data that you decide, at your sole discretion, to provide us). We keep such data until you stop communicating with us.
Analytics data
Bitty Paw may use certain services provided by Google, such as Google Analytics, to collect and analyze non-personal data about how users interact with the game. These services help us understand user behavior, improve the gaming experience, and make informed decisions regarding game development and updates.
The data collected by Google services may include, but is not limited to:
Device Information: Google services may collect non-personal device information, such as device type, operating system, device ID, and browser type.
Usage Information: Google services may collect non-personal usage information, such as the actions users take within the game, the features they use, and the duration of their sessions.
Log Data: Google services may automatically record non-personal log data, including IP addresses, browser type, referring URLs, and timestamps. This data is used for troubleshooting, analytics, and security purposes.
Location Information: With user consent, Google services may collect non-personal geolocation data to provide location-based features within the game. Users can manage location permissions in their device settings.
Please note that the data collected by Google services is non-personal and does not include personally identifiable information (PII) unless explicitly provided by users within the game.
For information on how Google collects, processes, and safeguards data, please refer to Google's Privacy Policy: Google Privacy Policy.
Bitty Paw does not control the data collection practices of Google. However, we ensure that the data collected by Google is used solely for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy and for game optimization and improvement.
We utilize this data for the following purposes:
§ Analyzing the technical aspects of your interaction with the Apps.
§ Tailoring the Apps to better suit your requirements.
§ Preventing fraudulent and abusive activities within the Apps.
§ Ensuring the overall security of the Apps.
Sensitive data
We do not gather or possess any special categories of personal information ("sensitive data") about you unless you voluntarily choose to share such information with us at your discretion. Sensitive data includes details related to your health, religious or political affiliations, racial background, membership in professional or trade organizations, or sexual orientation.
Cookies
Cookies are files with a small amount of data that are commonly used as anonymous unique identifiers. These are sent to your browser from the websites that you visit and are stored on your device's internal memory.
Our Apps does not use these “cookies” explicitly. However, the app may use third-party code and libraries that use “cookies” to collect information and improve their services. You have the option to either accept or refuse these cookies and know when a cookie is being sent to your device. If you choose to refuse our cookies, you may not be able to use some portions of this Service.
Security
We value your trust in providing us your Personal Information, thus we are striving to use commercially acceptable means of protecting it. But remember that no method of transmission over the internet, or method of electronic storage is 100% secure and reliable, and I cannot guarantee its absolute security.
Links to Other Sites
Our Apps may contain links to other sites. If you click on a third-party link, you will be directed to that site. Note that these external sites are not operated by BittyPaw. Therefore, We strongly advise you to review the Privacy Policy of these websites. We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party sites or services.
Terms & Conditions
By downloading or using the app, these terms will automatically apply to you – you should make sure therefore that you read them carefully before using the app. You’re not allowed to copy or modify the app, any part of the app, or our trademarks in any way. You’re not allowed to attempt to extract the source code of the app, and you also shouldn’t try to translate the app into other languages or make derivative versions. The app itself, and all the trademarks, copyright, database rights, and other intellectual property rights related to it, still belong to BittyPaw.
Bitty Paw is committed to ensuring that the app is as useful and efficient as possible. For that reason, we reserve the right to make changes to the app or to charge for its services, at any time and for any reason. We will never charge you for the app or its services without making it very clear to you exactly what you’re paying for.
Our games stores and processes personal data that you have provided to us, to provide my Service. It’s your responsibility to keep your phone and access to the app secure. We therefore recommend that you do not jailbreak or root your phone, which is the process of removing software restrictions and limitations imposed by the official operating system of your device. It could make your phone vulnerable to malware/viruses/malicious programs, compromise your phone’s security features and it could mean that our apps won’t work properly or at all.
The app does use third-party services that declare their Terms and Conditions.

You should be aware that there are certain things that We will not take responsibility for. Certain functions of the app will require the app to have an active internet connection. The connection can be Wi-Fi or provided by your mobile network provider, but We cannot take responsibility for the app not working at full functionality if you don’t have access to Wi-Fi, and you don’t have any of your data allowance left.
If you’re using the app outside of an area with Wi-Fi, you should remember that the terms of the agreement with your mobile network provider will still apply. As a result, you may be charged by your mobile provider for the cost of data for the duration of the connection while accessing the app, or other third-party charges. In using the app, you’re accepting responsibility for any such charges, including roaming data charges if you use the app outside of your home territory (i.e. region or country) without turning off data roaming. If you are not the bill payer for the device on which you’re using the app, please be aware that we assume that you have received permission from the bill payer for using the app.
Along the same lines, We cannot always take responsibility for the way you use the app i.e. You need to make sure that your device stays charged – if it runs out of battery and you can’t turn it on to avail the Service, BittyPaw cannot accept responsibility.
With respect to BittyPaw’s responsibility for your use of the app, when you’re using the app, it’s important to bear in mind that although we endeavor to ensure that it is updated and correct at all times, we do rely on third parties to provide information to us so that we can make it available to you. BittyPaw accepts no liability for any loss, direct or indirect, you experience as a result of relying wholly on this functionality of the app.
At some point, we may wish to update the app. The app is currently available on Android, and the requirements for this platform (and for any additional platforms we decide to extend the app's availability to) may change. To continue using the app, you will be required to download and install updates. Please note that We does not guarantee continuous updates to ensure compatibility with your Android version or any other operating system. However, you commit to accepting updates to the application when they are made available to you.
Furthermore, we reserve the right to discontinue the app and may terminate its use at any time without prior notice. Unless stated otherwise, upon termination, (a) the rights and licenses granted to you in these terms will cease; (b) you must cease using the app and, if necessary, remove it from your device.
