Bugsdoku: Privacy Policy

App: Bugsdoku (package com.cozygames.bugsdoku)
Version covered: 1.0 and forward, until this policy is amended.
Effective date: 2026-08-31.
Last updated: 2026-08-31.

Bugsdoku is a cozy logic puzzle published by Cozygames. There is no account and no login, and nothing it collects identifies you personally. The small amount of data it handles is for showing ads, for one optional purchase, and for understanding which features players use.

What we collect

• Advertising ID. Google's resettable advertising identifier, used by the ad SDK (Google AdMob) to show ads and limit how often you see the same one. It is not linked to your name or email.
• Gameplay events. Aggregate events such as "level completed" and which mode you played, sent to Google Firebase Analytics so we can see which features players use. These are bound to an anonymous identifier, never to your name or email.
• Approximate, non-precise signals used by ads. The ad SDK may use coarse, IP-derived region and device information (device model, Android version, language) to serve and measure ads. We do not collect precise GPS location.
• Build identifier. The version of the app you are running, used to filter analytics by release and to fetch remote settings.

What we do NOT collect

• Your name, email, or phone number.
• Your precise location. The app never requests GPS.
• Your contacts, photos, videos, or files.
• Your microphone, camera, or audio.
• Your payment details. See the purchase section below.
• Any browsing data from outside the app.

Ads

Bugsdoku is free and supported by ads through Google AdMob. It shows a banner, an interstitial between some levels, and rewarded ads that you choose to watch in exchange for a hint or an extra tool charge. Ads use the advertising ID described above.

• Consent (EEA, UK, Switzerland and similar regions). On first launch we show Google's consent form (UMP). Your choice decides whether you see personalized or non-personalized ads, and a "Privacy options" entry stays available in the game's settings so you can change it later.
• You can reset or limit ad tracking at any time in your device settings under Settings → Google → Ads.
• See the Google Ads privacy & terms and AdMob documentation for how Google uses this data.

The one optional purchase

Bugsdoku offers a single one-time purchase, Remove Ads, which turns off the banner and interstitial ads. It is handled entirely by Google Play Billing. Payment is processed by Google Play, not by us: we never see or store your card details, billing address, or any payment information. All the app keeps is a local flag recording that the purchase is owned, so ads stay off.

Where the data goes

Data leaves your device only to reach these Google services, over an encrypted (TLS) connection:

• Google AdMob — serves and measures ads. AdMob policy.
• Google Firebase Analytics — receives the aggregate gameplay events. Firebase privacy.
• Google Firebase Remote Config — the app fetches settings (such as ad frequency) from us. This is a download; it sends no personal data. Firebase privacy.
• Google Play Billing — only if you make the Remove Ads purchase. Google privacy policy.

Your level progress, stars, tool charges and daily-streak save data stay on your device. On the web version (YouTube Playables) that save is handled by the platform you are playing on, under that platform's own policy, and the YouTube build contains no ad SDK, no analytics and no purchases.

Children

Bugsdoku is suitable for all ages but is intended for a general audience aged 13 and up. We do not knowingly collect data from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has provided data, contact us at the address below and we will delete any associated records.

Deleting your data

• Uninstall removes all local save data from your device.
• Reset your advertising ID in Settings → Google → Ads to break the link the ad SDK uses.
• To request deletion of any analytics records, email the address below.

Changes to this policy

If we change what we collect or where it goes, the "Last updated" date at the top of this page changes too. Significant changes will be flagged inside the app on the next launch.
