1. Overview
Paws Above is an Android endless-runner game. It does not require an account and does not provide developer-operated cloud storage or synchronisation.
2. Information stored on your device
The app stores a small amount of game information locally, including:
- your saved high scores;
- whether the first-run tutorial has been completed;
- your sound-effects volume and mute preference.
This information is used only to provide the game, remember your preferences and show your results. Manan does not receive this local game information automatically.
3. Advertising
Paws Above uses the Google Mobile Ads SDK. The public release includes banner advertising on eligible non-gameplay screens and an optional rewarded advertisement that may offer one additional continue after a run ends.
Paws Above uses Google's User Messaging Platform to request and manage privacy choices where required. Advertising requests are gated by the consent state reported by Google's consent platform. When Google's system requires a privacy-options entry point, it is available from the game's Settings screen.
Google states that its Mobile Ads SDK may automatically collect and share information such as an IP address, app and ad interactions, diagnostic information, and device or account identifiers for advertising, analytics and fraud-prevention purposes. An IP address may be used to estimate a device's general location.
Paws Above does not use Firebase Analytics, Crashlytics, advertising mediation or a developer-created user profile in the current configuration.
Learn more in Google's partner-sites policy and Google's Privacy Policy.
4. Information Paws Above does not require
The game does not require your name, email address, phone number, account credentials or precise location. It does not request access to contacts, the camera or the microphone for normal gameplay.
5. Data sharing
Local scores and preferences are not shared with Manan unless you deliberately include information in a support message. Google and its advertising services may process information as described in Section 3 and in Google's own policies.
6. Data retention and deletion
Local game information remains on the device until Android app storage is cleared or the app is uninstalled. Support emails remain with the email service until deleted in accordance with ordinary support and recordkeeping needs.
Paws Above has no user accounts, so there is no separate account-deletion process.
7. Security
Local game information is stored within Android's app storage. Google states that information collected by the Mobile Ads SDK is encrypted in transit. No method of storage or transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
8. Audience and children's privacy
Paws Above is intended for adults aged 18 and over and is not designed or marketed as a children's app. The game does not ask users to provide their age, name or contact details.
If you believe a child has sent personal information through a support request, contact mobileapps.manan@gmail.com.
9. Your choices
- You can play without creating an account.
- You can adjust or mute sound effects in Settings.
- You can decline an optional rewarded-ad offer and end the run normally.
- You can clear local game information through Android app-storage controls or by uninstalling the app.

10. Changes to this policy
This policy may be updated when advertising, consent configuration, app features or legal requirements change. Updates will be posted on this page with a revised effective date.
