Privacy Policy for Dot Castle

Last updated: November 2026

This privacy policy explains how Dot Castle (“the app”), made by JL Prime (“we”), handles information. Short version: we don't collect personal information. The app uses Google Firebase for anonymous gameplay analytics, keeps a copy of your game in your own Google or Apple account, and shows ads through Google AdMob (some of those ads come from Unity Ads through AdMob), which may collect some device data to serve those ads.

Information we collect

We do not ask for, collect, or store your name, email, contacts, location, or any account details. There is no sign-up with us.

Your game data (coins, daily rewards, themes and pens, saved notebook pages, what you write on the notebook cover, and sound, vibration and board settings) is stored on your device. It is never sent to us. Anything you write on the cover is only used in the game, so please don't enter anything private there.

Cloud save

So that your notebook survives a reinstall or a new phone, the app keeps a copy of your game data in your own account:

• Android: Google Play Games Saved Games, when you are signed in to Play Games. You can sign in from Settings → Cloud save. Android's backup to your Google account may also keep a copy if backup is turned on.
• iOS: iCloud, when you are signed in to iCloud.

These copies are handled by Google or Apple under their own privacy policies. We can't see them. You can manage or turn off these services in your device or Play Games settings.

Analytics (Google Firebase)

To understand how the game is played and find problems, the app uses Firebase Analytics. It records anonymous events such as starting and finishing a game, whether an optional rewarded ad was watched, and the type of an app error, together with general device information (model, OS version, country) and a random app-instance ID. It does not identify you personally.

Photos

If you tap the camera button, the app saves a picture of your notebook cover to your phone's photo library, asking for permission first if your phone requires it. The app doesn't read your photos, and the picture is not sent to us.

Advertising (Google AdMob and Unity Ads)

The app uses Google AdMob to show banner ads, occasional full-screen ads between games, and optional rewarded video ads. Rewarded videos are always your choice. To deliver and measure ads, AdMob may collect and process:

• Device identifiers, such as the Android Advertising ID
• IP address (used to estimate general location, like country)
• Information about ad interactions (for example, ads viewed or tapped)
• Diagnostic information about the ad SDK (crashes, performance)

On iOS, the app does not ask for permission to track you, so Apple's Identifier for Advertisers (IDFA) is not used, and ads are not personalized using cross-app tracking.

If you are in the European Economic Area, the UK, or Switzerland, the app asks for your consent using Google's consent tool before personalized ads are shown. You can change your choice at any time in Settings → Ad privacy choices.

AdMob may also fill some ads from Unity Ads (Unity Technologies), through AdMob mediation. When it does, Unity's ad SDK may collect and process similar data to deliver and measure the ad, under the Unity privacy policy.

Google's use of this data is described in its policies:

• How Google uses information from apps that use its services
• Google Privacy Policy

You can reset your advertising ID or opt out of personalized ads in your device settings:

• Android: Settings → Google → Ads
• iOS: Settings → Privacy & Security → Apple Advertising

In-app purchases

The app has no in-app purchases. Coins are earned in the game, can't be bought, and have no real-world value.

Children

The app is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information through the app, contact us and we will help remove it.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with a new “Last updated” date.
