Privacy Policy

Hungry Paws Café ("the app") is published by Devflovv. The app is a native Android cooking puzzle game for one player that plays fully offline, with endless, procedurally generated days, kitchen upgrades, events and a local weekly contest. We collect no personal information and no usage data.

• We collect no data, and the app sends none to us or to anyone else.
• No account, no login, no sign-in.
• No analytics, no crash reporting, no advertising SDKs, no tracking.
• No internet permission, and no network connections.
• The app is free, with no in-app purchases and no ads, and no ad network is contacted.
• Your progress is stored by the app on your device. If you use Android device backup or device transfer, Android may copy it into your own backup or to your new device.

Nothing. The app does not collect, transmit or share any personal or usage data, and we never receive your progress, your chef name or your settings. It contains no advertising, analytics or crash reporting software development kits (SDKs), and no other third-party code that collects data.

The app does not request the internet permission and makes no network connections, so the app itself cannot connect to any server, ours or anyone else's.

It declares one permission for its own features:

• Vibration (VIBRATE), for light haptic feedback when you tap buttons, cook and serve. It is on by default, and you can turn it off with the Vibration switch in Settings or in the pause menu.

The AndroidX libraries the app is built with also add one internal permission, DYNAMIC_RECEIVER_NOT_EXPORTED_PERMISSION. It belongs to the app itself, is limited to apps signed with the same key, and keeps the app's internal messages private. It gives the app no access to your personal information and no internet access.

To keep your café going, the app saves the following in a single save file in its private storage on your device. None of it is sent to us.

• Your game progress: the days you have reached and the stars you earned on each, coins, stars spent, boosters, station and restaurant upgrades, decorations, your Chef Level, your Pastry Tower floor, your weekly contest score, your daily treat progress and the guests you have met.
• Your statistics, such as days completed, guests served, perfect serves, coins earned, your best streak and the dishes you have served.
• The chef name you type (up to 18 characters) and the chef avatar you pick from 15. You do not have to change the name, and you do not need to use your real one.
• Your settings, such as sound effects, music, vibration, starting days at double speed, and language.

Android backup is turned on for this app. The app has no internet permission, so this is done by Android, not by the app, and only if backup is on for your device.

If you use Android device backup, your device may include the app's save file in your personal backup. The same file may be copied when you move to a new device with Android's device transfer. It holds everything listed in the section above, including your chef name.

If a backup or transfer is restored, your saved game and settings can return, for example after you reinstall the app or set up a new phone.

Whether this happens, and where a backup is kept, depends on your device settings and your backup service. We never receive your backup and cannot view or delete it. Your backup provider, such as Google, handles it under its own privacy policy.

The app is free. It has no in-app purchases and shows no ads. Station upgrades, restaurant perks, decorations and the extra heart offered when guests leave are paid for with coins and stars you earn in the game; no payment is ever taken, nothing is charged, and Google Play's billing system is not used. No ad is ever loaded and no ad network is contacted.

Before any advertising or billing SDK is added to the app, this policy will be updated to describe it.

Daily treats, the Pastry Tower, Pumpkin Spice Weekend and the weekly contest use only your device's date and clock. Nothing is fetched from a server. The weekly contest is a local league: it ranks your own score against practice rivals generated on your device from the calendar week. They are not other people, and your score is never sent anywhere.

After a few days the app may ask whether you are enjoying it. If you tap Rate on Google Play, the app opens the game's Google Play listing in the Play Store app or your browser. This is the app's only link to anything outside it. The app sends nothing itself, and any rating or review you choose to leave is handled by Google under its own terms. If you tap Maybe later, nothing is opened.

We do not share, sell, rent or trade any data, because we do not collect any.

The app contains no advertising networks, analytics services or crash reporting services. If you install the app from Google Play, Google handles the download and updates under Google's own privacy policy.

The game is made to be suitable for everyone, and it collects no personal information from anyone, children included. It has no chat, no user-generated content and no way to contact other people. The only text a player can type is the chef name, which is saved with the game and never sent to us. Because nothing is collected, there is no personal information about a child for us to hold, review or delete.

You can remove the app's data from your device at any time:

• Use "Reset progress" in the app's Settings. This erases your saved game, including your days, coins, stars, boosters, upgrades, decorations, Chef Level, statistics, chef name, avatar and settings, and starts a brand-new café. It cannot be undone.
• Clear the app's storage in your device's Android settings.
• Uninstall the app to delete all of its data from your device.

None of the steps above removes a copy already held in your device backup, and we cannot remove it for you. To delete one, use the backup settings on your device or in your backup account.

If this policy changes, the new version will be posted on this page with a new effective date.
