Privacy policy

In short: the game needs no account and keeps your progress only on your device. Data is only processed for ads via Google AdMob, and personalised ads are only shown with your consent.

2. Data on your device and in your iCloud

Progress, stars, achievements, purchases and settings (language, sound, graphics) are stored on your device. If you are signed in to iCloud, the game keeps a copy of your progress in your personal iCloud storage (Apple iCloud key-value storage) so it is available on your other devices with the same Apple ID. Apple processes this data under its privacy policy; we have no access to it. We run no servers of our own and there is no user account.

3. Reminders

If you turn on Advent reminders, the game schedules local notifications on your device. No data is transferred for this. You can switch reminders off in the game or in the iPhone settings at any time.

4. In-app purchases

Purchases are handled entirely by the Apple App Store. We never receive payment details. The game verifies purchases directly with Apple (StoreKit) on your device; no data is sent to us or to third parties. Apple’s privacy policy applies.

5. Game Center

If you are signed in to Apple Game Center, the game reports achievements and leaderboard scores to Game Center. Apple processes this data under its privacy policy. You can sign out of Game Center in the iPhone settings at any time; the game works without it.

6. Advertising

The game shows ads via Google AdMob (Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland). We only show personalised ads with your consent: in Switzerland, the European Economic Area and the UK we first ask via Google’s consent dialog, and on iPhone additionally via Apple’s “Allow tracking?” prompt (App Tracking Transparency). Only if you allow both may Google use your device’s advertising ID (IDFA) to show more relevant ads. If you decline, you get non-personalised ads and the game works just the same. To deliver ads, Google always processes technical data such as IP address, device type, operating system, app version and information about the ads shown. You can withdraw tracking permission at any time in the iPhone settings under “Privacy & Security → Tracking”. The “No ads” purchase removes the ads between rides; optional reward videos remain available. More information: policies.google.com/technologies/ads

7. Transfers abroad

Google may also process data in the USA. Transfers are based on the EU Commission’s standard contractual clauses or the safeguards recognised by the Swiss Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC).

8. Children

The game is suitable for all ages but is not specifically aimed at children. We do not collect any personal data ourselves. Parents can block in-app purchases and tracking in the device settings (Screen Time).

9. Your rights

The Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP) applies to users in Switzerland, and the GDPR additionally applies to users in the EU. You have the right to access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability and objection, and the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. Requests to support@goldendoggames.com.

10. Changes

We update this policy when the game changes. Last updated: 4 November 2026
