Privacy Policy for Meow Ball Rush

Effective date: October 13, 2026

This privacy policy explains how the mobile game Meow Ball Rush (Android package io.github.arthurslin.meowballrush, "the game", "we") handles information. The game is made by Arthur Lin, an independent developer.

The short version

• We do not ask you for any personal information, and the game has no accounts or sign-in.
• Your progress (coins, skins, upgrades, quests, best score and settings) is saved only on your device.
• The game shows ads through Google AdMob. Google may collect certain device information to show and measure ads, as described below.
• If you buy Remove Ads, the payment is handled entirely by Google Play. We never see your payment details.

Information we collect

We, the developer, do not collect, store or receive any personal information about you. We do not run our own servers for the game.

Game progress stored on your device. The game saves your coins, unlocked hero cat and Cat Ball skins, upgrades, quest progress, best score, sound and sound-style preferences, and whether you own Remove Ads in your device's local app storage. This data never leaves your device and is not sent to us. Uninstalling the game or clearing its app data deletes it.

Advertising (Google AdMob)

The game uses the Google Mobile Ads SDK (Google AdMob), provided by Google LLC, to show banner ads in menus, full-screen ads between runs, and optional rewarded video ads (for example to revive or double your coins). To deliver, measure and protect these ads, Google may automatically collect and process information such as:

• your device's advertising ID (Android Advertising ID),
• your IP address (which can be used to estimate your general location),
• device and app information (device model, operating system, language, app version),
• ad interactions (ads shown, taps, completed rewarded videos) and diagnostic information (crash and performance data).

Google uses this information to show ads, measure ad performance, limit how often you see an ad, and detect fraud and abuse. Depending on your choices and where you live, ads may be personalized based on your interests.

Your consent and choices.

• If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, or a region with similar laws (including some US states), the game asks for your consent through Google's User Messaging Platform before personalized ads are shown. You can change your choice at any time with the Privacy button on the game's main menu, when it is shown.
• You can reset your advertising ID or opt out of personalized ads in your Android settings (Settings > Privacy > Ads, or Settings > Google > Ads, depending on your device).
• Buying Remove Ads turns off banner and full-screen ads permanently on your device.

In-app purchase (Remove Ads)

The optional Remove Ads purchase is processed by Google Play Billing. Google handles your payment details under its own privacy policy. The game only receives confirmation from Google Play that the purchase belongs to your Google account, so it can unlock Remove Ads and restore it if you reinstall. We do not receive your name, email address or payment information.

Permissions

The game uses the internet connection to load ads and check purchases, the vibration motor for haptic feedback, and the advertising ID permission used by Google AdMob. It does not access your contacts, photos, camera, microphone, files or precise location.

Children

Meow Ball Rush is not directed at children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information through the game, contact us and we will help remove it.

Data retention and deletion

We do not hold any of your data. Game progress stays on your device until you uninstall the game or clear its data. For data collected by Google for advertising, see Google's privacy policy and your Android ad settings above.

Security

Because we do not collect or store your personal information, there is no personal information of yours on our systems that could be exposed. Data handled by Google is protected under Google's security practices.

Changes to this policy

We may update this privacy policy when the game changes. The updated version will be posted at this address with a new effective date.
