Before you start playing Paw Link: Star Chase (Package Name: com.pawlink.starchase.game), we would like you to understand how data-related matters are managed. This casual game is offered on Google Play by Harold Chen (referred to as "we," "us," or "our" in the sections that follow).
Paw Link: Star Chase is meant to be a straightforward casual gaming experience. There is no registration screen, no login requirement, and no form asking for your name, address, or phone number. You simply open the app and play.
We believe you should know your options upfront. Your Android device allows you to manage how your advertising ID is used. Open Settings, go to Google > Ads, and you can reset that ID or turn off interest-based advertising entirely. These settings affect all apps on your device, not only this one.
Although the app does not ask you for personal details, certain data elements may be involved while the app runs:
Device identifiers and specs: The advertising ID, screen size, OS version, and device model number. These are read by the third-party toolkits embedded in the app — not by us directly.
Locally saved content: Your progress through levels, sound preferences, and similar settings that exist only on your device.
Crash and error records: Automated logs that help us keep the software stable and address bugs promptly.
The app relies on third-party components for two functions:
Ad delivery: Networks such as Google AdMob use the advertising ID and basic device info to serve and track ads within the game.
Usage analytics: Platforms like Google Analytics for Firebase gather aggregated statistics about how players interact with the app, which helps us spot issues and improve the experience.
These partners are independent data controllers. Their privacy policies govern how they handle information:
Google AdMob — https://support.google.com/admob/answer/6128543
Google Analytics for Firebase — https://firebase.google.com/policies/analytics
The information described above is tied to three goals:
Sustaining the app as a free download through ad support.
Gaining broad, anonymized insight into player behavior for design improvements.
Diagnosing software problems quickly when they arise.
None of these goals involve identifying you as a person or building a profile around your habits.
We want to make this explicit: we do not sell, barter, or give away data for our benefit. The sole channel through which information may exit the app is the SDK providers listed earlier, and those providers operate under their own terms and conditions.
Your gameplay data stays on your phone or tablet. If you uninstall the app, that data goes away with it. Anything processed by the ad or analytics providers is retained according to their policies. We apply reasonable safeguards to the parts of the system we control, though no digital environment can be declared entirely risk-free.
This game targets a general audience and is not specifically designed for children under 13. We avoid practices that would violate laws protecting minors' data. Parents or guardians who believe a younger family member's data may have been affected are welcome to contact us at the address below — we will take the matter seriously.
We may update this policy as the app evolves. Updated versions will appear on this page with a new effective date. If you keep using the app after a change, you are agreeing to the updated terms.
