Catdoku is a cozy Sudoku-style mobile game where players solve puzzles using cats instead of numbers. This Privacy Policy explains what information is collected, used, and shared when you use Catdoku.
By using Catdoku, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.
Catdoku does not require you to create an account, sign in, or provide personal information such as your name, email address, phone number, or address.
Catdoku may store gameplay-related information locally on your device, such as:
Saved puzzle progress
Selected difficulty
Best times
Settings preferences, such as sound, timer visibility, theme choice, tiny number labels, and other gameplay options
Ad-related state, such as whether ads have been removed in a future paid version or whether an interstitial ad cooldown is active
This information is used only to make the app function properly and improve your gameplay experience. It is stored locally on your device unless a future version of the app clearly states otherwise.
Catdoku uses Google AdMob to show ads.
Google AdMob and the Google Mobile Ads SDK may collect and process certain information automatically, including but not limited to:
Device information
IP address, which may be used to estimate general location
Advertising identifiers, where available
App interactions, such as ad views, taps, and app usage events
Diagnostic information, such as crash, performance, and SDK-related data
This data may be used by Google and its advertising partners for purposes such as:
Showing ads
Measuring ad performance
Preventing fraud and abuse
Improving advertising and related services
Providing personalized or non-personalized ads, depending on your consent choices and region
Google’s handling of this information is governed by Google’s own Privacy Policy and advertising technologies policies.
You can learn more about how Google uses information from apps that use its services by visiting Google’s privacy and advertising policy pages.
In regions where legally required, such as the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland, Catdoku uses a consent message to ask for your choices regarding personalized ads and related data processing.
Depending on your location and consent choices, you may receive personalized ads, non-personalized ads, or limited ads.
You can update or withdraw your privacy choices in the app through the privacy options available in Settings, where required.
Catdoku saves certain information on your device so the game can remember your progress and preferences.
This may include:
Current puzzle state
Notes and selected cells
Timer progress
Hint usage
Difficulty
Theme selection
Sound and visual settings
Best times
This information is not used to personally identify you. If you uninstall Catdoku, locally stored game data may be deleted from your device.
Catdoku may offer an optional way to remove ads in the future.
If in-app purchases are added, purchases will be processed by the relevant app store, such as Google Play or Apple’s App Store. Catdoku will not directly collect or store your full payment card details.
The app may store whether ads have been removed so that it can remember your purchase status.
Catdoku is intended for a general audience and is not specifically directed at children under the age of 13 or the minimum age required in your country.
Catdoku does not knowingly collect personal information directly from children. If you believe that a child has provided personal information through the app, please contact us so we can take appropriate action.
Catdoku does not sell your personal information.
Catdoku may share limited information with third-party service providers only as necessary for app functionality, advertising, analytics, fraud prevention, legal compliance, or security. For example, Google AdMob may collect and process information as described above in order to provide ads.
We take reasonable steps to protect information associated with Catdoku. However, no method of electronic storage or transmission over the internet is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Data collected by third-party services such as Google AdMob is handled according to those third parties’ own security practices and privacy policies.
You may have several choices depending on your device, region, and app store settings:
You can change your ad personalization settings through your device settings.
You can reset or delete your advertising ID through your device settings where supported.
You can update consent choices in Catdoku’s Settings where required.
You can uninstall Catdoku to remove locally stored app data from your device.
You can contact us with privacy-related questions or requests.
Catdoku may include links to external websites, such as support pages, developer pages, or app store pages. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of third-party websites.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make changes, we will update the effective date at the top of this page.
You are encouraged to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.
