Privacy Policy

Cozy Paws: Dog Rescue · Sycamore Hill Studios · Last updated 24 July 2026

The short version. Cozy Paws has no accounts, no sign-in and no servers of ours. Your game is saved on your own device. We do not collect, see or sell your personal information.

What we collect

Nothing, directly. Cozy Paws does not ask for your name, email, contacts, photos, location or any other personal detail, and it has no login. We operate no server that receives your data.

Your game save

Your progress — the dogs you have rescued, your shelter, your items and currency — is written to a file in the app's private storage on your device only. It is not uploaded to us. Uninstalling the app deletes it. If you have Android's own backup enabled, your device may include that file in your personal Google backup; that copy is governed by Google's Privacy Policy, not by us.

Advertising

Cozy Paws shows opt-in rewarded video ads only — you choose to watch one in exchange for an in-game bonus. There are no forced, pop-up or interstitial ads. Ads are served by Google AdMob, which may use your device's Advertising ID to limit repeats and measure ads. That identifier is not linked by us to any person, and we never receive it.

We request only ads rated suitable for general audiences.

Purchases

Optional in-app purchases are handled entirely by Google Play Billing. Payment details go to Google, never to us — we receive only an anonymous confirmation that a purchase succeeded, so the app can unlock what you bought. Nothing you can buy is required to finish the game.

Children

Cozy Paws is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone, including children. Ads are limited to general-audience content ratings.

Notifications

If you allow them, the app schedules gentle reminders locally on your device (for example, when a dog is ready to come home). These are generated by the app itself — no push server, no message ever leaves your phone. You can turn them off in your device settings.

Data sharing and deletion

We do not sell, rent or share personal information, because we do not collect any. To delete everything the app has stored, uninstall Cozy Paws.

Changes

If this policy changes, the date at the top of this page changes with it.
