Privacy Policy
Effective Date: January 2026
Last Updated: January 2026
Pawkins ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard information when you use our mobile application Pawkins (the "App").
1. Information We Collect
Information We Do NOT Collect
We do not collect, store, or process any personal information. Specifically:
- We do not require account creation or login
- We do not collect names, email addresses, or contact information
- We do not collect location data
- We do not access your contacts, photos, or other device data
- We do not use cookies or tracking technologies
- We do not collect analytics or usage data
Local Data Storage
All game data (your pet's status, progress, and preferences) is stored locally on your device only. This data:
- Never leaves your device
- Is not transmitted to any servers
- Is not backed up to our systems
- Will be deleted if you uninstall the App
2. In-App Purchases
Any purchases made within the App are processed entirely by Apple through the App Store. We do not receive, store, or have access to your payment information. Please refer to Apple's Privacy Policy for information about how Apple handles your payment data.
3. Third-Party Services
The App does not integrate with any third-party analytics, advertising, or social media services. We do not share any data with third parties because we do not collect any data to share.
4. Children's Privacy
Pawkins is designed to be family-friendly and safe for users of all ages. Since we do not collect any personal information from any users, we are compliant with children's privacy regulations including COPPA (Children's Online Privacy Protection Act).
5. Data Security
Because all data remains on your device and we do not collect or transmit any personal information, there is no risk of your personal data being compromised through our services. Your local game data is protected by your device's built-in security features.
6. Your Rights
Since we do not collect personal data, traditional data rights (access, deletion, portability) do not apply. However, you have full control over your local game data:
- You can delete all app data by uninstalling the App
- You can clear app data through your device settings
7. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy within the App and updating the "Last Updated" date. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically.
8. Contact Us
If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy, please contact us at:
Email: support@pawkins.app
9. California Privacy Rights
If you are a California resident, you have specific rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). However, since we do not collect personal information, these rights are automatically satisfied — there is no personal data to access, delete, or opt out of selling (we do not sell any data).
10. International Users
Pawkins is available internationally. Regardless of your location, your data privacy is protected equally since no personal data is collected or transmitted. Local game data remains on your device in your jurisdiction.
This privacy policy is effective as of January 2026 and applies to the Pawkins mobile application.
