Welcome to Catbass! This Privacy Policy explains how Tappuccino ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and shares information when you use our mobile game, Catbass ("the Game"). We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about our practices.
1. Information We Collect
Catbass is a simple casual game that includes advertisements and analytics to improve your experience and our services. We collect limited information through third-party services as described below:
Information Collected by Third Parties:
AdMob (Advertisements): We use Google AdMob to display ads in the Game. AdMob may collect and process certain data, such as:
Device identifiers (e.g., Advertising ID on Android or IDFA on iOS)
IP address
Device type and operating system
General location data (e.g., country or region, inferred from your IP address, not precise geolocation)
Interaction with ads (e.g., clicks or views)
This data is used to serve personalized or non-personalized ads. For more details, see Google’s Privacy Policy.
Firebase Analytics: We use Firebase Analytics to understand how players use the Game. It collects:
Device identifiers (e.g., Instance ID)
Usage data (e.g., time spent in the Game, levels completed)
General device information (e.g., model, OS version)
This helps us improve gameplay and fix issues. See Firebase’s Privacy Information.
Firebase Crashlytics: We use Firebase Crashlytics to track crashes and improve stability. It collects:
Crash reports (e.g., stack traces)
Device identifiers
Device information (e.g., OS version, memory usage)
This data is anonymized and used solely for debugging. See Firebase’s Privacy Information.
Information We Do Not Collect:
We do not directly collect personal information such as your name, email address, or precise location through the Game. No account creation is required to play Catbass.
Data Retention:
Data collected by third-party services is retained only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined below (e.g., serving ads, improving the Game). We do not control the retention periods of third-party providers, which are governed by their own policies (linked above).
2. How We Use Information
The data collected via third-party services is used to:
Display ads to support the Game’s development (AdMob).
Analyze usage patterns to enhance gameplay and features (Firebase Analytics).
Identify and fix crashes or bugs to improve stability (Firebase Crashlytics).
We do not use this data to profile you or for any other purpose beyond improving and supporting Catbass.
3. Sharing Your Information
We do not sell or share your personal information with third parties except as described below:
Service Providers: AdMob, Firebase Analytics, and Firebase Crashlytics (all operated by Google) process data on our behalf as described above. They may share data with their subprocessors under their own privacy policies (linked above).
Legal Requirements: We may disclose information if required by law or to protect our rights.
Business Transfers: If Tappuccino is involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your data may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify you of any such change via the Game.
4. Your Choices
Ads: You can opt out of personalized ads via your device settings. For example, on Android, go to Settings > Google > Ads > Opt out of Ads Personalization; on iOS, go to Settings > Privacy > Advertising > Limit Ad Tracking. You can also reset your Advertising ID in these settings.
Analytics: You can disable Firebase Analytics data collection in your device settings if supported (e.g., by disabling app-specific analytics), though this may limit our ability to improve the Game.
Your Rights (Region-Specific):
California Residents (CCPA): If you are a California resident, you have the right to know what personal information we collect, request deletion, and opt out of any sale of your information. We do not sell your personal information, but you may contact us with requests at tappuccino@gmail.com.
EU Residents (GDPR): If you are in the European Economic Area, we process data based on our legitimate interest in providing and improving the Game. You have the right to access, rectify, erase, or restrict your data, as well as data portability. Contact us at tappuccino@gmail.com to exercise these rights.
5. Children’s Privacy
Catbass is intended for general audiences and is not directed at children under 13. We use reasonable measures to avoid collecting personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, please contact us at tappuccino@gmail.com, and we will take steps to address it.
6. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted here with an updated "Last Updated" date. We’ll notify you of significant changes via the Game if possible. Please check back periodically.
