Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how GreenDog Games (“we”, “us”) collects, uses, and shares information when you visit our website or play our games distributed worldwide on Apple iOS/iPadOS and Google Android. We aim to collect only what we need to operate, improve, and secure our games.
What we collect

- Gameplay & progress (scores, achievements, settings, in‑app purchases metadata—not full card data).
- Diagnostics (crash logs, performance) and usage analytics.
- Device & technical (device model, OS version, language, IP‑derived approximate location).
- Advertising data when ads are shown (ad views, clicks, coarse location, resettable device identifiers such as IDFA/AAID, and related signals).
- Platform data if you use Apple Game Center or Google Play Games (e.g., profile/leaderboards as enabled by you).
Why we collect it
- Operate and improve our games and services (including leaderboards and achievements).
- Provide support and respond to inquiries.
- Measure performance, fix bugs, and maintain security.
- Show ads in free versions of our games and cap frequency.
- Comply with law and platform policies.
Legal bases (EEA/UK)
We rely on one or more of: performance of a contract (to provide the game), legitimate interests (to improve, secure, and monetize the game), and consent where required (e.g., for certain analytics/ads; on iOS via App Tracking Transparency and/or an in‑game consent prompt).

Right to opt‑out of “sale”/“sharing”: We do not sell personal information for money. Our use of Unity Ads may be considered “sharing” for cross‑context behavioral advertising. You can opt‑out by using the in‑game privacy choices (where available), sending us a request at [email protected], and/or using platform controls listed below. We honor Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals on our website where technically feasible.
Your CPRA rights: access, correction, deletion, limit use of sensitive data, and non‑discrimination. We will verify requests and respond within statutory timeframes. You may appeal a denial by replying to our decision email.
Cookies & consent
Our website uses essential cookies and limited analytics. In regions where required, we present consent choices and honor your preferences (including GPC). Mobile apps use SDK signals rather than cookies.
Service providers & partners

- Platform providers: Apple App Store, Google Play (app distribution, payments, platform features).
- We may engage hosting, crash reporting, and support tools that process data under our instructions.
Your choices for ads & tracking

- Android: Settings → Google → Ads → Delete advertising ID or Opt out of Ads Personalization.

Children
Our games are for a general audience and are not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 (or the applicable age in your region) without parental consent. We configure ad settings to avoid personalized ads to children where applicable. If you believe a child provided personal data, contact us and we will delete it.
International transfers
We operate globally. Information may be processed outside your country (including the United States). Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards (e.g., Standard Contractual Clauses).
Security
We use administrative, technical, and physical safeguards appropriate to the nature of the data. No method is 100% secure; we continuously improve our protections.
Retention
We keep personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes above, then delete or de‑identify it unless a longer period is required by law.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. We will post the updated version with a new “Last updated” date and, where appropriate, provide additional notice.
