Privacy Policy

1Who this policy is from

Matching Cows is a match-3 puzzle game for Android, developed and published by Neeaclyne. This policy explains what happens to information when you play it. It covers the game only — not any other app or website.

Questions about anything here: neeaclyne.business@gmail.com

2What the game itself collects

Nothing that leaves your device.

Matching Cows saves a single small settings file in the app's own private storage on your phone. It holds:

• which levels you have finished and how many stars you earned
• your best score on each level
• your three sound volume settings

That file is readable only by this app. It is never uploaded, never transmitted, and never seen by us. Uninstalling the game deletes it permanently — there is no cloud backup and no way for us to restore it.

The game has no account system, no login, no leaderboard, no chat, and no analytics tools of any kind.

3Advertising

Matching Cows shows rewarded video ads. These are always optional: when you run out of moves, you may choose to watch a video in exchange for five extra moves. Declining costs you nothing and the game is fully playable without ever watching one. There are no banner ads and no ads that interrupt play.

Ads are provided by Google AdMob (Google LLC). To serve and measure them, Google may collect and process:

Advertising ID

A resettable identifier your phone provides for advertising. Not tied to your name.

Device information

Model, operating system version, language and similar technical details.

IP address

Used to infer approximate (city-level) location and to prevent fraud.

Ad interaction data

Which ads were shown, whether they were watched or closed, and whether they were tapped.

This data goes to Google, not to us. We receive only anonymous, aggregated totals — how many ads were shown and how much revenue they earned. We cannot identify any individual player from it.

How Google handles this data is described in the Google Privacy Policy and in How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services.

4Your choices

• Don't watch the ads. They are opt-in. The game never requires one.
• Reset or delete your Advertising ID in Android Settings › Privacy › Ads. Deleting it stops personalised advertising on your device.
• Consent, where the law requires it. If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, you will be asked for your choice about personalised advertising before any ad is shown, and you can change that choice later.

5Children

Matching Cows is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has provided personal information through this app, contact us at the address in section 1 and we will act on it.

6Sharing and selling

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it with anyone other than the advertising provider described in section 3. We run no servers of our own, so there is no database of players anywhere.

The one exception is the ordinary legal one: if we were legally required to disclose information by a valid order, we would comply — though in practice we hold nothing to disclose.

7Keeping data, and deleting it

Because we store nothing, there is nothing for us to retain or delete. Your local save file is removed when you uninstall the game. Data held by Google for advertising is governed by Google's own retention practices, linked in section 3, and you can reset your Advertising ID at any time to break the link to past advertising activity.

8Changes to this policy

If the game changes in a way that affects this policy — for example if a different kind of ad or a new feature is added — this page will be updated and the date at the top will change. Significant changes will also be noted in the app's release notes on Google Play.
