Local Multiplayer
Cozy Catch: Island Fishing includes an optional local multiplayer feature that allows players connected to the same local network to play together.
Simply opening the Multiplayer menu does not transmit multiplayer data. Network communication begins when the player searches for, hosts, connects to, or participates in a local multiplayer session.
When local multiplayer is used, participating devices may temporarily exchange information required to discover and maintain the session, including:
Local IP addresses
Temporary randomly generated session identifiers
Temporary connection identifiers
Protocol and connection information
Number of players in the session
Local network ports used for communication
Commands required to start or maintain the multiplayer session
The virtual position of player characters inside the game world
Character rotation
Character movement speed
Basic gameplay status, such as whether a player is idle, fishing, or paused
Player position refers only to the character's position inside the virtual game world and is not the player's physical or geographic location.
This information is exchanged directly between participating devices on the same local network.
Piwa Studios does not receive, store, or maintain this multiplayer session information on its servers. Piwa Studios does not operate multiplayer servers for this feature.
Multiplayer session information is processed temporarily in memory for the duration of the multiplayer session and is not stored on disk as part of the multiplayer system.
The local multiplayer feature does not intentionally collect or transmit:
SSID
BSSID
Device MAC address through the application
Android ID
Android Advertising ID (AAID)
IMEI or IMSI
Device name
Precise or approximate physical location
Real name
Email address
Voice communications
Text chat
Photographs
User-generated content
Local network technologies such as Wi-Fi or Ethernet may use network-level addressing internally as part of normal network operation. Cozy Catch: Island Fishing does not obtain or transmit device MAC addresses as part of its multiplayer application messages.
Generic labels such as "Player 1" and "Cozy Island" are generated locally and do not identify individual players.
Network Access
The application uses network access only where necessary to provide optional local multiplayer functionality and to allow the operating system to open external web pages requested by the user.
Local multiplayer communication is intended to occur between devices on the same local network.
Piwa Studios does not use this network access for analytics, behavioral tracking, advertising, profiling, or remote collection of gameplay information.
Advertising
Cozy Catch: Island Fishing does not currently contain third-party advertising.
The application does not use the Android Advertising ID for advertising or behavioral tracking.
Analytics and Tracking
Piwa Studios does not currently use third-party analytics, behavioral tracking, advertising tracking, or profiling technologies within Cozy Catch: Island Fishing.
The application is not designed to create advertising or behavioral profiles of children.
Location Information
Cozy Catch: Island Fishing does not request access to precise or approximate physical location.
Virtual player coordinates exchanged during local multiplayer represent positions inside the game's fictional island and do not represent real-world geographic coordinates.
Children's Privacy
Cozy Catch: Island Fishing is designed for children and families.
Piwa Studios does not ask children to provide personal information such as their real name, email address, phone number, home address, physical location, photographs, or other direct contact information in order to use the game.
The optional multiplayer mode does not include text chat, voice chat, profile creation, user-created usernames, image sharing, or other social communication features.

Third-Party Services and External Links
Cozy Catch: Island Fishing may contain external links, including a link to this Privacy Policy and links used to provide attribution or credits for third-party creative assets.
Opening an external link may launch the device's web browser and take the user outside Cozy Catch: Island Fishing.
External websites, such as Google Sites or asset-hosting websites such as Sketchfab, operate under their own privacy policies and may process information such as IP addresses or browser information according to their own practices.
Piwa Studios does not control the privacy practices of external websites.
Parents and guardians should supervise children's access to external websites where appropriate.
Data Sharing and Sale
Piwa Studios does not sell children's personal information.
Piwa Studios does not share player information for behavioral advertising or cross-context behavioral advertising.
Information exchanged between players during optional local multiplayer is transmitted directly between participating devices to provide the multiplayer feature and is not sent to Piwa Studios.
Data Retention
Local game progress
Game progress and preferences remain stored locally on the player's device until they are removed by the player, removed by the operating system, the application's data is cleared, or the application is uninstalled.
Local multiplayer information
Temporary multiplayer session information exists only as necessary to discover, establish, and maintain the local multiplayer session.
This information is not stored on Piwa Studios servers and is not persisted to disk by the multiplayer system.
When the multiplayer session ends, temporary session and connection information is discarded from the game's active memory.
Data Deletion
Because Cozy Catch: Island Fishing does not currently use player accounts or remotely store player profiles or game progress, Piwa Studios generally does not maintain remote player data that can be associated with an individual account.
Players can remove locally stored game information by clearing the application's data or uninstalling the application, subject to the behavior of the device and operating system.
Parents or guardians with privacy questions or concerns may contact Piwa Studios using the email address below.
Security
Cozy Catch: Island Fishing is designed according to a data-minimization approach.
The application limits permissions and network functionality to features required by the game.
The current Android version uses network access for optional local multiplayer and vibration access for gameplay haptic feedback.
Piwa Studios does not intentionally transmit locally stored game progress to remote servers.
Artificial Intelligence
The released version of Cozy Catch: Island Fishing does not use artificial intelligence to profile players, track children, provide behavioral advertising, or remotely process player information.
Artificial intelligence tools may have been used during the development of the game. Development tools are separate from the released application and do not receive player information through the installed game.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy when the application's functionality, data practices, third-party services, legal requirements, or privacy practices change.
Any updated version will be published on this page with a revised effective date.
If a future version introduces features such as analytics, advertising, online accounts, cloud saves, online multiplayer servers, or other functionality that changes how information is processed, this Privacy Policy will be updated accordingly.
