Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

EvoCat ("the Game") is a free, single-player mobile game developed and published by DTA Craft. We respect your privacy and are committed to transparent, minimal data handling.

2. Offline Gameplay and Optional Sign-In

EvoCat can be played offline without creating an account. By default, gameplay progress is saved anonymously to your device.

The Game also offers an optional Google Sign-In feature that lets you back up and sync your save data to the cloud. Signing in is not required to play — you can skip it and continue as a guest at any time.

An internet connection may be used for functions outside core gameplay, such as cloud save sync, displaying ads, or processing in-app purchases, as described below.

3. Information We Collect

DTA Craft does not directly collect, store, or transmit personal data through EvoCat, beyond what is described below.

We do not collect:

• Names, physical addresses, or phone numbers
• Precise location data
• Contacts or photos
• Payment card or banking information

If you choose to sign in with Google (Section 4), your Google account identifier is used solely to link and restore your cloud save data. Third-party services used by the Game (sign-in, advertising, billing, and analytics, described in Sections 4, 6, 7, and 8) may independently collect limited technical data, such as advertising identifiers, under their own privacy policies.

4. Google Sign-In and Cloud Save (Optional)

If you choose to sign in, EvoCat uses Google Sign-In to authenticate you and associate your save data with your Google account, so you can restore your progress on the same or a different device.

This is entirely optional. If you prefer not to sign in, you can select "skip" / "play as guest" and continue playing with a local, anonymous save.

Data handled through this feature is limited to your Google account identifier and your in-game save data (progress, settings, unlocked content). DTA Craft does not use this to access your Google account, contacts, or other Google services.

5. Local Game Data

Gameplay progress, settings, unlocked content, and purchase entitlement status are stored locally on your device, and additionally in the cloud if you choose to sign in (Section 4).

Local data can be removed by uninstalling the Game or clearing app data on your device.

6. Advertising

EvoCat is free to play and supported by advertisements shown through third-party ad networks (such as Google AdMob).

These ad networks may collect and use information such as advertising identifiers, device information, and general usage data to serve and measure ads, in accordance with their own privacy policies.

You can review Google's privacy policy here:

https://policies.google.com/privacy

Depending on your device and region, you may be able to limit ad personalization through your device's advertising settings.

7. In-App Purchases and Google Play

The Game offers optional in-app purchases through Google Play Billing (for example, to remove ads or unlock additional content).

Google Play may process purchase and transaction information according to Google's own privacy policies.

DTA Craft does not receive or store your payment card or banking details.

Purchase verification and entitlement information is used only to provide purchased game content.

8. Analytics

EvoCat uses Firebase Analytics (Google Analytics for Firebase) to understand how players use the Game — for example, which features are used and roughly where players stop progressing — so we can improve it.

This is anonymous: analytics events are linked to a random identifier generated on your device, not to your name, email address, or Google account, and are not combined with your cloud save data.

Analytics data is processed by Google under Google's own privacy policy:

https://policies.google.com/privacy

9. Third-Party Services

EvoCat uses the following categories of third-party services:

• Google Sign-In and Google Play Games Services, for optional account sign-in and cloud save
• Advertising networks, to display ads
• Google Play Billing, to process in-app purchases
• Firebase Analytics (Google Analytics for Firebase), for anonymous gameplay analytics

The Game does not use any account systems beyond what is required by these services.

10. Children's Privacy

The Game does not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Because EvoCat displays ads through third-party networks and offers optional Google Sign-In, distribution platforms such as Google Play may apply their own policies regarding child-directed applications, ad content, and account sign-in.

11. Data Security and Retention

DTA Craft does not directly hold a personal-data retention database for EvoCat users. Save data linked to an optional Google Sign-In is stored and retained by Google's cloud save infrastructure (Google Play Games Services) under Google's own policies.

Local game data remains on your device until removed by you, for example by uninstalling the Game or clearing app data. You can also unlink your account from within the Game, where available, or by revoking access through your Google account settings.

12. Account & Data Deletion Requests

If you signed in to EvoCat with Google to use cloud save, you can ask us to delete that account link and everything saved under it.

1. Email us from the account in question. Send a request to [email protected] with the subject line "EvoCat Account Deletion," using the same Google account you signed into EvoCat with, so we can find your save.
2. We confirm it's you. We reply to that same email address to confirm the request before deleting anything.
3. Deletion within 30 days. Your cloud save (merge board, currencies, upgrades, collection progress) and the Google account link are permanently removed from our systems within 30 days of confirmation.

What's retained: aggregated gameplay analytics events are anonymous, not linked to your account or identity, and are not individually removable. See Section 3 for what we do and don't collect.

13. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy if game features or data practices change. Any updates will be posted on this page with a revised effective date.
