Privacy Policy for Paws & Pile
This Privacy Policy explains how Paws & Pile, published by Rossi Studio Lab, handles information when you use the mobile game.
1. Information we collect directly
Paws & Pile does not require a separate account created with Rossi Studio Lab. We do not operate our own server-side user database for the game.
Game settings such as your sound, music, and theme preferences are stored locally on your device. Your best score is also stored locally.
If you use Google Play Games Services, your best score may be submitted to Google Play Games and associated with your Google Play Games profile for leaderboard functionality. Rossi Studio Lab does not receive or store your Google Account password and does not maintain a separate copy of your Google Account information on its own servers.
2. Advertising and third-party services
Paws & Pile uses Google AdMob to display advertising, including rewarded and interstitial ads. Google and its advertising partners may process information in order to deliver, measure, secure, and improve ads.
Depending on your device, region, consent choices, and Google configuration, this may include information such as:
- device and app information;
- IP address and approximate location derived from it;
- advertising identifiers or similar device identifiers where permitted;
- ad impressions, clicks, rewarded-ad completion, and other ad interaction data;
- diagnostic, fraud-prevention, and performance information;
- consent and privacy choices.
The exact data processed by Google may vary based on applicable law, user consent, device settings, and Google's services. You can learn more from Google's privacy information: Google Privacy Policy and Google Mobile Ads SDK data disclosure guidance .
3. Google Play Games Services
Paws & Pile uses Google Play Games Services to provide player authentication and a global leaderboard. When you use these features, Google may process information such as:
- your Google Play Games gamer identity or player ID;
- your leaderboard score and related game activity;
- device and app information;
- IP address and approximate location derived from it;
- diagnostic, analytics, security, and fraud-prevention information.
Leaderboard information may be visible to other Google Play Games users according to your Google Play Games privacy and profile visibility settings. Google processes this information according to the Google Privacy Policy and your Google Play Games settings. Learn more about how Google Play services for Games handles data .
4. Consent for users in Europe
For users in the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom, and Switzerland, Paws & Pile uses Google's User Messaging Platform (UMP) and consent management tools where required. You may be asked to consent to, refuse, or manage certain advertising and data-processing choices.
Where available, you can change your privacy choices later through the privacy options entry point provided in the app.
5. How we use information
Rossi Studio Lab does not use personal data to create its own user accounts or personal profiles. Third-party advertising services may use permitted information to:
- serve and measure ads;
- provide rewarded advertising requested by the player;
- limit invalid traffic, fraud, and abuse;
- maintain and improve advertising services.
Google Play Games Services may process player authentication information and leaderboard scores to authenticate players, submit scores, display leaderboard results, prevent abuse, provide analytics, and troubleshoot the service.
6. Data sharing
We do not sell personal information. Information processed for advertising may be shared with Google and advertising technology providers as described in the consent message and Google's policies. When you use Google Play Games features, game scores and related identifiers are transmitted to Google for authentication and leaderboard functionality.
7. Data retention
Local game data remains on your device until you clear the app's data or uninstall the app. Data processed by Google or advertising partners is retained according to their own policies and applicable legal requirements. Leaderboard scores and Google Play Games profile data are retained by Google according to Google's policies and the user's Google Play Games settings.
8. Children's privacy
Paws & Pile is not specifically directed to children under 13 and is not enrolled as a child-directed app solely because of its visual style. We do not knowingly collect names, contact details, or account information from children.
9. Security
We keep the app's own data collection minimal. No method of electronic transmission or storage is completely secure, and third-party services are responsible for the security of information they process under their own systems and policies.
10. Your choices and rights
Depending on where you live, you may have privacy rights under applicable law. For advertising consent choices, use the privacy controls provided in Paws & Pile where available. You can also control certain advertising settings through your Android device and Google Account settings.
You can choose whether to use Google Play Games features. Google Play Games profile visibility, leaderboard visibility, and game data can be managed or deleted through your Google Play Games and Google Account settings.
11. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy when the app, advertising setup, third-party services, or legal requirements change. The latest version will be published at this URL and the “Last updated” date will be revised.
