Privacy Policy — PuppyCove: Seaside Merge Cafe

Last updated: 2026-10-14 · Developer: 2eex Games · Contact: pupshore@2eexgames.com

What the app itself handles

PuppyCove: Seaside Merge Cafe (댕댕해변) has no account or login. Your progress (board, coins, pearls, stars, renovations, your dog's name and level, the cottage, settings) is stored on your device. The developer has no server for this game and does not receive names, e-mails, your dog's name or any other personal data. Anonymous gameplay statistics and crash reports are sent unless you turn them off (see below).

Statistics and crash reports (Google Firebase)

To fix bugs and improve the game, Google Firebase Analytics and Firebase Crashlytics collect: game events (for example tutorial steps, levels reached, orders served, shop items viewed or bought, by product ID), a Firebase app-instance / installation ID, crash logs and diagnostics, device model and OS version, and an approximate country/region derived from the IP address. The advertising ID is not collected by Analytics. The data is used only to fix bugs and improve the game, is not sold, and is processed by Google as a service provider under the Firebase privacy terms. You can turn this off at any time in Settings › Privacy; from then on nothing is collected and every part of the game still works.

Advertising (Google AdMob)

Ads are provided by the Google Mobile Ads SDK and are rewarded videos only: an ad plays only when you tap a "watch video" button for a small bonus. There are no full-screen ads between plays and no ads during the tutorial. The SDK automatically collects and shares with Google device or other identifiers (such as the advertising ID), approximate location (from the IP address), app interactions and diagnostics (crash logs and performance), for advertising, analytics and fraud prevention. Data is encrypted in transit. See Google's Privacy Policy and how Google uses information from partner apps.

Consent (EEA, UK, Switzerland). Users in these regions are asked for consent with Google's User Messaging Platform form and can change their choice at any time in Settings > Privacy > Ad privacy options.

Advertising ID. You can reset it or opt out of personalised ads in your device settings.

In-app purchases

Optional purchases (pearl packs, Starter Pack, Sunset Club, season pass) are made and processed by Google Play under its own terms and privacy policy. The app never sees your card or payment account. It receives only a confirmation of what was bought (the product and a purchase token) to hand over the items, and keeps the purchase token only in the save file on your device so that the same purchase is never granted twice; nothing is sent to the developer. No randomized (loot box) products are sold.

Refunds. Unused products can be refunded within 7 days of purchase through Google Play. Pearls already spent and pass benefits already started may not be refundable. For help, write to the contact address above.

On-device data

Game progress, settings and purchase confirmations are stored in the app's private storage, may be included in Android's device backup to your Google account (when device backup is on), and are removed from the device when the app is uninstalled.

Notifications

The game can remind you when your energy is full, when your dog is back from a walk, when a new day starts (today's special and journal chest) and shortly before a waiting VIP guest leaves. These reminders are scheduled on the phone without any server: at most 3 a day and none between 22:00 and 08:00. On Android 13 and later the app asks for permission first; you can turn them off in Settings or in the phone's notification settings.

Children

The app is designed for players aged 13 and over and is not directed at children under 13. It does not knowingly collect personal data from children.

Permissions

INTERNET and ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE load ads and reach Google Play billing; the whole game works offline. VIBRATE gives touch feedback (can be turned off in Settings). POST_NOTIFICATIONS shows the reminders above. com.android.vending.BILLING lets you buy items through Google Play. AD_ID, ACCESS_ADSERVICES_AD_ID, ACCESS_ADSERVICES_ATTRIBUTION, ACCESS_ADSERVICES_TOPICS and WAKE_LOCK are declared by the Google Mobile Ads SDK for serving and measuring ads; the game itself does not use them.

Security

Game data stays in the app's private storage. The ads SDK and Google Play billing communicate over encrypted connections (HTTPS/TLS).

Data deletion

The developer keeps no data that identifies you. Statistics are anonymous and Firebase deletes them automatically after its retention period (at most 14 months for Analytics, 90 days for crash reports); turning the option off in Settings stops collection immediately. On-device game data is removed by uninstalling the app (or by clearing the app's storage in the phone settings). Advertising identifiers can be reset in your device settings; data processed by Google is handled under Google's Privacy Policy. For any request, write to the contact address above.

Changes

If a later version adds a feature that handles data differently (for example optional gameplay statistics or cloud save), this policy is updated first and posted on this page with a new date.
