Privacy Policy for PawDoku

Effective date: August 1, 2026

NegZeroStudios (“we,” “us,” or “our”) operates PawDoku, an Android mobile puzzle game.

This Privacy Policy explains the information that PawDoku and its service providers may collect or process, how that information is used, when it may be shared, and the choices available to players.

1. Developer Information

Developer: NegZeroStudios
Developer type: Individual developer
Country: Jordan
Privacy contact: hik.dev24@gmail.com

PawDoku does not require players to create a separate NegZeroStudios account, username, email address, or password.

2. Information Processed by PawDoku

PawDoku stores some information locally on the player’s device and may transmit certain information to third-party services used to provide the game.

A. Game and Progress Data

PawDoku may store information such as:

• Campaign level progress

• Daily Challenge progress

• Coins and booster quantities

• Unlocked and equipped pets and tile styles

• Game settings and preferences

• Streaks, rewards, lives, and attempts

• Purchase-related game benefits

• Advertising-removal status

• Analytics and advertising-consent preferences

• Notification preferences

Some of this information is stored locally using Unity and Android storage systems.

When Google Play Games Saved Games is available and the player is signed in, supported game progress may also be uploaded to and synchronized through the player’s Google Play Games profile.

B. Google Play Games Information

PawDoku uses Google Play Games Services for features such as authentication and Cloud Save.

When a player signs in, Google may process or provide information such as:

• Google Play Games player identifier

• Player display name

• Player profile information

• Authentication status

• Cloud-saved game progress

• Related Google Play Games activity

PawDoku does not receive or store the player’s Google Account password.

Google Play Games sign-in is separate from Unity Analytics permission and advertising consent. Signing in does not automatically grant Analytics or advertising consent.

C. Advertising Information

PawDoku uses Google AdMob to display:

• Banner advertisements

• Interstitial advertisements

• Optional rewarded advertisements

Google AdMob and related Google advertising services may process information such as:

• Advertising identifiers

• App Set ID or similar device identifiers

• IP address

• Approximate location inferred from the IP address

• Device manufacturer, type, and model

• Operating system and language

• App version

• Advertisement impressions

• Advertisement clicks

• Rewarded-ad views and completion

• App interactions

• Diagnostic and performance information

• Fraud-prevention and security information

PawDoku does not request permission to access the player’s precise GPS location.

Where required, PawDoku uses the Google User Messaging Platform to request or manage advertising consent before requesting personalized advertising.

Depending on the player’s location, consent choice, and Google settings, advertisements may be personalized, non-personalized, or limited.

Advertising consent is separate from Unity Analytics permission.

D. Analytics Information

PawDoku uses Unity Analytics only when the player grants Analytics permission through the in-game Analytics prompt.

When Analytics permission is not granted, PawDoku keeps its Unity Analytics gameplay-data collection disabled.

When enabled, Analytics information may include:

• Game sessions and session duration

• Levels opened, completed, or failed

• Gameplay mistakes

• Hint, Undo, and booster usage

• Campaign and Daily Challenge interactions

• In-game events and button interactions

• App version

• Device and operating-system information

• General country or region

• Technical and performance information

• Diagnostic information

• Device, installation, or service-generated identifiers

This information is used to understand how PawDoku is played, improve puzzle difficulty and balancing, identify technical issues, and improve performance and usability.

Analytics information is generally associated with device-, installation-, or service-generated identifiers rather than information directly entered by the player.

Google Play Games sign-in and advertising consent do not grant Unity Analytics permission.

E. Purchase Information

PawDoku offers optional in-app purchases processed through Google Play Billing using Unity In-App Purchasing.

Purchase-related information may include:

• Product purchased

• Purchase history

• Purchase token or transaction identifier

• Purchase date and time

• Transaction status

• Currency and general price information

• Whether purchase benefits have been applied

• Whether forced advertisements have been removed from the saved game

• Technical information required to verify and fulfill the purchase

Google Play or Unity In-App Purchasing may process account-related information, including identifiers and, where applicable, an email address associated with the store transaction. PawDoku does not ask players to enter an email address to make an in-game purchase.

Payment-card and bank-account information is processed by Google Play. NegZeroStudios does not directly receive or store complete payment-card or banking information.

Purchase information may be used to:

• Complete and verify purchases

• Grant the purchased content

• Prevent duplicate fulfillment

• Maintain applicable purchase-related game benefits

• Detect fraud or invalid transactions

• Provide purchase support

• Comply with financial and platform requirements

Certain eligible purchases may remove forced interstitial and banner advertisements from the player’s saved game. Optional rewarded advertisements may remain available because players choose whether to watch them for an in-game reward.

F. Local Notification Information

PawDoku may schedule optional notifications locally on the player’s device.

Local notification functionality may use:

• Notification permission status

• Device date and time

• Device time zone

• Local game progress

• Daily Challenge availability

• Reward availability

• Local notification scheduling information

The current version of PawDoku does not use a remote push-notification server and does not collect or store a remote push-notification token.

Players may disable notifications through PawDoku’s Settings menu or through Android device settings.

G. Information Provided by Players

PawDoku does not currently provide:

• Public player profiles

• Public chat or messaging

• Photo, video, or audio uploads

• User-created public content

• Contact-list uploads

• File or document uploads

When a player contacts NegZeroStudios by email, we may receive:

• The player’s email address

• The contents of the message

• Attachments included by the player

• Device, purchase, or support information the player voluntarily provides

Players should avoid sending passwords, complete payment-card information, or other unnecessary sensitive information.

3. How Information Is Used

Information may be used to:

• Operate PawDoku and provide its features

• Save and synchronize game progress

• Maintain coins, boosters, purchases, and unlocked content

• Authenticate players with Google Play Games Services

• Process and fulfill purchases

• Maintain purchase-related game benefits

• Display and measure advertisements

• Provide rewarded-ad benefits

• Manage advertising-consent choices

• Schedule optional local notifications

• Analyze gameplay when Analytics permission is granted

• Improve puzzle difficulty, gameplay balance, performance, and usability

• Diagnose crashes, errors, and technical problems

• Prevent fraud, abuse, invalid purchases, and invalid advertising activity

• Respond to support and privacy inquiries

• Comply with legal obligations and platform requirements

4. Third-Party Services

PawDoku uses or may use the following third-party services:

• Google AdMob

• Google User Messaging Platform

• Google Play Billing

• Google Play Games Services

• Google Play Games Saved Games

• Unity Analytics

• Unity In-App Purchasing

PawDoku also uses Android’s local notification functionality.

These service providers may process information according to their own terms, privacy policies, retention practices, and security procedures.

NegZeroStudios does not control every aspect of how Google, Unity, or other platform providers process and retain information.

5. Data Sharing

Information may be transferred to service providers as reasonably necessary to provide PawDoku’s features, including for:

• Advertising and advertising measurement

• Analytics

• Authentication

• Cloud saving

• Purchase processing and verification

• App functionality

• Diagnostics and performance monitoring

• Security and fraud prevention

• Technical support

Google AdMob may process or share identifiers, advertising interactions, app interactions, approximate location, and diagnostic information for advertising, measurement, Analytics, security, and fraud-prevention purposes.

We may also disclose information when reasonably necessary to:

• Comply with applicable laws or valid legal requests

• Protect players, NegZeroStudios, or other parties

• Investigate fraud, abuse, security incidents, or policy violations

• Enforce legal rights or agreements

NegZeroStudios does not directly sell personal information in exchange for monetary payment.

Advertising providers may process or share identifiers and activity for advertising purposes. Under some privacy laws, this may be described as “sharing,” “targeted advertising,” or a similar term.

6. Advertising and Privacy Choices

Depending on the player’s location and applicable law, PawDoku may provide an advertising privacy form before advertising data is used for personalized advertising.

Players may be able to:

• Open advertising privacy choices through PawDoku’s Settings menu

• Update or withdraw advertising consent where the option is available

• Reset or delete the Android advertising identifier

• Change advertising-personalization settings through Android or Google Account settings

• Decline optional rewarded advertisements

Declining a rewarded advertisement does not prevent the player from using PawDoku’s primary puzzle features.

Removing forced advertisements does not necessarily remove optional rewarded advertisements.

7. Analytics Choices

PawDoku asks for permission before enabling Unity Analytics gameplay-data collection.

Players may choose:

• Allow, which permits Unity Analytics collection

• Not now, which keeps Analytics disabled unless permission is granted later

When Analytics is disabled, PawDoku does not intentionally send its custom gameplay Analytics events.

The Analytics choice is separate from:

• Google Play Games sign-in

• Cloud Save

• Advertising consent

• Notification permission

• In-app purchases

PawDoku may ask again at a later time when the player previously selected “Not now.”

8. Children’s Privacy

PawDoku is not directed specifically to children under the age of 13.

NegZeroStudios does not knowingly ask children under 13 to provide:

• A name

• An email address

• A postal address

• A phone number

• Precise location

• Contacts

• Photographs

• Audio recordings

• Payment-card information

If a parent or guardian believes that a child has sent personal information directly to NegZeroStudios, they may contact us at:

hik.dev24@gmail.com

This section assumes that PawDoku’s Google Play target-audience settings do not include children under 13.

9. Permissions and Network Access

PawDoku may request permission to send notifications.

Players may deny or revoke notification permission without losing access to the game’s primary puzzle features.

Internet access may be used for:

• Advertising

• Advertising consent and privacy choices

• In-app purchases

• Google Play Games authentication

• Google Play Games Cloud Save

• Unity Analytics when Analytics permission has been granted

PawDoku does not request access to:

• Contacts

• Microphone

• Camera

• Photos and videos

• Precise location

If a future PawDoku feature requires an additional permission or changes these practices, this Privacy Policy will be updated.

10. Data Storage and Retention

Local Game Data

Locally stored game progress, settings, consent choices, and preferences generally remain on the device until the player:

• Clears PawDoku’s app data

• Uses an available in-game reset function

• Uninstalls PawDoku

• Resets the device

Uninstalling PawDoku may remove local progress and preferences that have not been restored through Cloud Save.

Cloud-Saved Data

When Google Play Games Saved Games is used, supported game progress may remain associated with the player’s Google Play Games profile until it is overwritten, replaced, or deleted through applicable Google Play Games or Google Account controls.

Advertising and Analytics Data

Google and Unity retain advertising, Analytics, identifier, diagnostic, and performance information according to their own privacy policies and operational requirements.

Purchase Information

Google, Unity, and PawDoku may retain purchase-related information for as long as reasonably necessary to:

• Complete and verify purchases

• Prevent duplicate fulfillment

• Maintain applicable purchase benefits

• Detect fraud

• Provide support

• Maintain financial records

• Comply with legal and platform requirements

Support Communications

Messages sent to our support email may be retained for as long as reasonably necessary to:

• Respond to the request

• Maintain support records

• Resolve disputes

• Prevent abuse

• Comply with legal obligations

11. Data Deletion and Reset Options

PawDoku does not operate a custom NegZeroStudios user account and does not currently provide a dedicated web-based account-deletion system.

Players may delete locally stored PawDoku data by:

• Using an available in-game reset option

• Clearing PawDoku’s app data through Android settings

• Uninstalling PawDoku

Players using Google Play Games may manage Google Play Games information and Cloud Save data through the privacy, profile, and account-management options provided by Google.

Advertising and purchase information held by Google may be subject to Google’s privacy and account-management tools.

Unity Analytics and Unity In-App Purchasing information may be subject to Unity’s privacy tools, retention practices, and request procedures.

Because PawDoku does not operate custom player accounts, NegZeroStudios may be unable to identify or delete information stored only under anonymous installation identifiers or held exclusively by Google or Unity.

Questions regarding available data-management options may be sent to:

hik.dev24@gmail.com

12. International Data Processing

Google, Unity, and other service providers used by PawDoku may process information in countries other than the player’s country of residence.

Where required, these providers use legal, organizational, and technical safeguards intended to protect internationally transferred information.

13. Data Security

NegZeroStudios and PawDoku’s service providers use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards intended to protect information.

These measures may include:

• Encrypted transmission

• Platform access controls

• Transaction validation

• Restricted access to information

• Security and fraud-prevention tools

However, no method of electronic storage or internet transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

14. Player Privacy Rights

Depending on the player’s country or region, applicable privacy law may provide rights such as:

• Requesting access to personal information

• Requesting correction of inaccurate information

• Requesting deletion where applicable

• Objecting to or restricting certain processing

• Withdrawing consent

• Opting out of personalized or targeted advertising

• Filing a complaint with an appropriate data-protection authority

The availability of these rights and how they apply depends on the player’s location, the type of information involved, and whether the information is controlled by NegZeroStudios, Google, or Unity.

For privacy questions concerning information directly controlled by NegZeroStudios, contact:

hik.dev24@gmail.com

We may need sufficient information to understand the request. Because PawDoku does not operate custom player accounts, we may be unable to identify information held only under anonymous identifiers or controlled exclusively by a third-party provider.

15. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy when PawDoku’s features, third-party services, legal requirements, or data practices change.

The updated policy will be published with a revised effective date.

Material changes may also be communicated through PawDoku or through another appropriate notice where required.
