Katsumi Sakurai ("we") provides this policy for the iOS app "Dogs Out" (the "App").
The App requires no account and we run no server of our own. We never receive any information about you.
The App does not use or collect your name, e-mail address, phone number, contacts, location, photos, camera or microphone.
Only the following is stored on your device (iOS UserDefaults). It is never sent anywhere.
| Type | Contents |
|---|---|
| Records | Best number of moves and time for each puzzle you solved |
| Progress | The last puzzle you played and how far you got in Challenge |
| Settings | Sound on/off, haptics on/off |
Deleting the App removes all of it. We cannot read or retrieve any of it.
The App shows third-party advertising through Google AdMob. To deliver and measure ads and to prevent fraud, AdMob may automatically collect:
| Type | Contents |
|---|---|
| Advertising identifiers | IDFA and identifiers issued by AdMob |
| Device information | Device model, OS version, language, screen size, etc. |
| Coarse location | Country/region estimated from the IP address |
| Ad interaction | Impressions, taps, etc. |
This data is collected and used by Google; we do not receive it. See How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services.
A banner ad appears at the bottom of the title screen and the game screen, and a full-screen ad may appear when you solve a puzzle — at most once every five minutes. No ad is ever shown while you are moving the dogs.
On first launch the App may show Apple's App Tracking Transparency prompt. The advertising identifier is used for personalised advertising only if you choose "Allow". If you choose "Ask App Not to Track", you will see non-personalised ads and every feature of the App works exactly the same.
You can change this at any time in iOS Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking.
For users in these regions the App presents a consent form through Google's User Messaging Platform (UMP). You can change your choice at any time from "広告のプライバシー設定" (Ad privacy settings) on the title screen. That item only appears in regions where it is required.
The App is not designed for children under 13.
We may update this policy when laws change or features are added. Significant changes will be announced on this page.
