Privacy Policy

Developer and scope

Path of Paws is published in Türkiye by Özkan Altınörs under the Gepetto Usta brand. This policy applies to the Android version distributed through Google Play. Privacy questions may be sent to ozkanaltnors@gmail.com.

Game data stored on the device

The game does not create an account. Progress, unlocked animals and themes, animal levels, in-game currencies, quests, tutorial state and settings are stored in app data on the device. This release has no developer-operated account or cloud-save service.

Advertising and age choice

The game may show banner, interstitial and optional rewarded advertising through Unity Ads. Completing a rewarded ad may grant in-game energy. Under its own policies, Unity may process technical data such as the advertising identifier, device and network information, approximate location, app interactions and diagnostics for delivery, measurement, security and fraud prevention. Progress is not uploaded to a developer server for ad targeting.

The player selects a 6–12, 13–17 or 18+ age band on the device. This choice is not sent to a developer server. The current release is configured to request only non-personalised or contextual advertising for every age band.

In-app purchases

Six Forest Energy packs, ad removal and a winter-theme entitlement may be offered through Google Play Billing and Unity IAP. Google Play processes payment details; the developer does not see card or bank account information. The app processes product and transaction identifiers and purchase state to grant an entitlement. A hashed transaction marker may be stored temporarily on the device to prevent duplicate grants.

Data the app does not access

Path of Paws does not request access to precise location, camera, microphone, contacts or personal photo-gallery content. Approximate location and technical signals that an advertising provider may process under its own policy are separate from these app permissions.

Retention and deletion

Local progress and settings may remain until the app is uninstalled, app data is cleared in Android settings or an in-game reset tool is used where available. Purchase and advertising data follows the relevant Google or Unity retention rules. Uninstalling deletes local data; persistent Google Play entitlements may be restored where the platform supports it.

Security and children

Android app-private storage is used to protect local data, although no electronic storage is absolutely secure. Path of Paws is offered to a mixed-age audience that includes ages 6–12 and does not ask children to create a developer account or provide contact details. The age-band choice remains on the device for advertising configuration. Parental or guardian supervision is recommended for purchases and device permissions.

Changes and contact

If data practices, advertising or purchase infrastructure changes, this policy and the Google Play Data safety declaration will be updated. Contact ozkanaltnors@gmail.com for privacy, deletion or support requests.
