Effective date: 6 October 2026 ยท Applies to the PawDoku Pawzzle mobile app
4PawsLabs ("we", "us", "our") operates PawDoku Pawzzle, a mobile puzzle game where you place a cat or dog companion on a grid following simple logic rules. This Policy explains what information PawDoku Pawzzle handles, and why.
PawDoku Pawzzle has no accounts. There is no sign-up, no login, no email address, and no phone number anywhere in the app.
PawDoku Pawzzle stores all of your game data locally on your own device only, using standard on-device storage. This includes:
None of this is linked to your real identity, and none of it is sent to any 4PawsLabs server - we don't operate a backend for this app at all.
PawDoku Pawzzle shows ads through Google AdMob, Google's mobile advertising SDK:
AdMob may collect data such as your advertising ID and general device information to select and measure ads, and - where you consent - to personalize them. In the European Economic Area, UK, and Switzerland, PawDoku Pawzzle shows a consent form (Google's User Messaging Platform) before any ad loads, and respects your choice. You can find more about how Google handles this data at policies.google.com/technologies/ads.
Purchasing "Remove Ads" (see Section 3) stops all ads in the app immediately.
PawDoku Pawzzle offers two optional one-time purchases - "Remove Ads" and switching your companion's species - handled entirely through Google Play Billing. We never see or store your payment details (card number, UPI ID, etc.); Google Play processes the transaction and simply tells the app which product you bought, which we then record locally on your device as described in Section 1.
When you tap "Share" on a solved Daily Challenge or your streak calendar, PawDoku Pawzzle generates an image entirely on your device and hands it to your phone's own share sheet. This only happens when you choose to tap "Share" yourself - the app never uploads or transmits this image anywhere on its own.
PawDoku Pawzzle requests the following device permissions, mostly included by default by the ads and billing libraries the app is built on:
PawDoku Pawzzle does not request camera, photo library, microphone, location, or contacts access.
We do not sell your data. The only data sharing that happens is the standard exchange needed for ads (with Google AdMob) and purchases (with Google Play Billing) to function, both described above. We do not share anything with data brokers or any other third party.
Because PawDoku Pawzzle does not collect or retain personal data on any 4PawsLabs server, most data-subject rights under India's DPDP Act, 2023 (access, correction, erasure) have nothing to act on - there is no stored record to look up on our end. Data handled by Google (AdMob, Play Billing) is governed by Google's own privacy policy and user controls. If you believe we hold something about you that contradicts this Policy, contact us using the details in Section 10 and we'll investigate and respond within 30 days.
PawDoku Pawzzle does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone, including children. There is no account creation, no data collection form, and no field anywhere in the app to enter personal details.
All network requests PawDoku Pawzzle makes (to AdMob and Google Play Billing) use encrypted connections (HTTPS). Everything else - your companion, progress, and settings - stays on your device and is never transmitted to a 4PawsLabs server.
We may update this Policy as PawDoku Pawzzle's features change. Material changes will be reflected in an updated "Effective date" above.
