Privacy Policy — Dog Bakery

Last updated: 15 October 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Dog Bakery (the "App", "we", "us") handles information when you play it on iOS or Android.

Data controller: Robin, Täby, Sweden. Contact: Ralwert@outlook.com

Summary

• You don't create an account. We don't ask for your name, email, phone number or location.
• Your game progress is stored only on your device. We don't run a server that receives it.
• The App shows optional rewarded ads from Google AdMob, only when you choose to watch one. Google collects device and usage data to show and measure ads. In the EEA, UK and Switzerland you're asked for consent first, and you can change your choice any time in Settings → Privacy choices.
• On iOS, the App asks for permission before ads may use your device's advertising identifier.
• There are no in-app purchases.
• Notifications are optional and scheduled on your device only.
• We don't use any analytics or crash-reporting service.

1. Information stored on your device

The App stores the following locally on your device. It is not sent to us:

• Game progress: currencies (Coins, Golden Bones), shops, upgrades, recipes, achievements, boosts, street decorations, daily login streak, statistics (e.g. taps, play time, ads watched), tutorial progress, timestamps used to calculate offline earnings, and a list of already-granted reward IDs (so a reward can't be granted twice).
• Settings: sound, music, haptics and notification preferences.
• Ad history: when you last watched each type of rewarded ad and how many you watched today, to apply cooldowns and daily limits.

We have no copy of this data and cannot recover it if it is lost.

2. Advertising (Google AdMob)

The App shows rewarded video ads only when you tap to watch one (for example to speed up a construction or get free Golden Bones). There are no banner ads and no ads that interrupt play.

Ads are provided by Google AdMob (Google Ireland Limited for users in the EEA and Switzerland; Google LLC elsewhere). When an ad is requested or shown, the Google Mobile Ads SDK in the App may collect, according to Google's disclosures:

• Device identifiers: on Android the Advertising ID and App Set ID; on iOS the Identifier for Advertisers (IDFA) only if you allow tracking (see below), otherwise the Identifier for Vendors (IDFV);
• IP address, which may be used to estimate your general (not precise) location;
• Usage and ad interaction data, such as app launches, ad views and taps;
• Diagnostic data, such as crash and performance data of the ad SDK.

Google uses this data to deliver and measure ads, limit how often you see the same ad, and prevent fraud. With your consent, Google may also use it to show personalised ads. Ads in the App are limited to content suitable for teens and older (content rating T).

Consent in the EEA, UK and Switzerland

Before any ads are requested, the App shows a consent message from **Google's User Messaging Platform (UMP)**, which uses the IAB Transparency & Consent Framework. You can consent, refuse, or choose individual purposes and ad partners. If you refuse, ads may still be shown on a limited or non-personalised basis where the law allows, or not at all.

You can change or withdraw your consent at any time in the App under Settings → Privacy choices. Withdrawing consent doesn't affect processing that happened before.

App Tracking Transparency (iOS)

On iOS, the App asks for your permission (Apple's "Allow tracking?" prompt) before the IDFA may be used for ads. If you choose "Ask App Not to Track", the IDFA isn't accessed and ads aren't personalised using it. You can change this any time in iOS **Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking**.

Android advertising ID

You can reset or delete your Advertising ID, or opt out of personalised ads, in Android Settings → Privacy → Ads (wording varies by device).

3. Notifications

If you turn on notifications in Settings, the App asks for your permission and then schedules reminders on your device (for example, when a construction finishes). They are created and delivered by your device's operating system. We don't use a push-notification server, and no notification token is sent to us. You can turn them off in the App's Settings or in your device settings.

4. Analytics and crash reporting

The App does not include any analytics, crash-reporting or attribution SDK, and we don't collect usage statistics about you. (The ad SDK in section 2 collects diagnostic data for Google's own purposes.)

5. Legal bases (EEA, UK and Switzerland)

• Consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and the ePrivacy rules on storing or reading information on your device): personalised ads and access to advertising identifiers where consent is required. You can withdraw it any time in Settings → Privacy choices.
• Legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR): showing limited or non-personalised ads to keep the game free, measuring ads and preventing ad fraud, where the law allows this without consent.
• Performance of a contract (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR): storing your game progress on your device so the game works.

6. Sharing and international transfers

We don't sell your personal data. We have no access to the data Google collects through the ad SDK; Google processes it as an independent controller (and, for some purposes, as our processor) under the Google Ads Controller-Controller Data Protection Terms and its EU User Consent Policy. Google may process data in the United States. Such transfers are covered by the EU–US Data Privacy Framework and/or Standard Contractual Clauses.

7. Retention and deletion

• Game data on your device stays until you delete it: use Settings → Reset progress (deletes your progress on this device and starts a new game) or uninstall the App.
• Advertising data is kept by Google under its own policies; see the links in section 2. You can reset your advertising identifier as described above.

8. Your rights

Depending on where you live (including under the GDPR), you may have the right to access, correct, delete, restrict or object to processing of your personal data, to data portability, and to withdraw consent. Because we don't hold data that identifies you, most requests about ad data are best sent to Google, but you can always contact us (section 12) and we'll help.

You also have the right to complain to a data protection authority. In Sweden that's Integritetsskyddsmyndigheten (IMY), https://www.imy.se, or you can contact the authority where you live.

9. Children

The App is intended for a general audience aged 13 and over and is not directed at children. We don't knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has used the App and data was collected through ads, contact us and we'll help where we can.

10. Security

Game data stays on your device and is protected by your device's own security. Communication between the App and Google's ad servers is encrypted in transit (TLS).

11. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy, for example when the App adds features or services. We'll change the "Last updated" date and, for significant changes, tell you in the App or in the store release notes.
