Effective date: 28 October 2026
App: Catch Everything! · Developer: Laxion Studio
Android package: com.laxionstudio.catcheverything
1. You can play as a guest
Sign-in is optional. You can use Google sign-in or an existing email account where available. Guest gameplay progress, earned coins, unlocked items and settings are saved on your device. Guest progress is not automatically backed up to a recoverable account and may be lost if app data is cleared, the app is uninstalled or the device is lost.
Online features can create a pseudonymous service identifier even when you play as a guest. In versions with guest checkout, this identifier links verified purchases, remaining purchased coins and paid inventory to your installation without requiring game sign-in. Signing in from that installation links its remaining guest wallet and purchase records to your recoverable game account. Our servers also receive the technical information needed to handle connections. Guest play does not mean that advertising and other online services receive no data.
If you sign in, you can choose a public username and use account features. The Backup screen lets you explicitly save and restore gameplay progress; signing in alone does not automatically upload all progress. Purchased balances and paid inventory are handled separately from progress backups. Guest access to these records may be lost if app data is cleared, the game is uninstalled or the device is lost before linking a game account. Remove Automatic Ads can be restored using the same Google Play account without game sign-in; restoring does not refill spent coins or used boosters.
Google Play Games: On supported Android versions, an existing Play Games profile may connect according to your Google Play Games settings. You can also choose PLAYER → PLAY GAMES → CONNECT. Guest play remains available. Play Games receives your player identifier, achievements and leaderboard scores. Your Play Games name and scores may be visible according to your Google profile settings. If you choose SAVE PHONE, an earned-progress snapshot is saved through Google Play Games; saving is explicit, and restoring requires confirmation. This is separate from your Catch Everything purchase account and does not replace or restore spent purchased currency.
If you use email sign-in, your email and password are sent over an encrypted connection to our Supabase authentication service. The game does not save or log your password; it stores sign-in tokens to keep your session available.
2. Information we handle and why
| Information | Purpose and when it is used |
|---|---|
| Local game data | Progress, scores, inventory, settings, age-band selection and local gameplay diagnostics support play, save your choices and help investigate problems. |
| Account and Google profile information | When you sign in, Google can provide an account identifier, email address and basic profile details such as your name and profile image. Our authentication service uses these to identify and recover your account. We do not receive your Google password. |
| Username, rankings and run results | Your selected username, submitted scores, stars and ranking may be visible to other players. Run information supports rankings and abuse prevention. Your email, sign-in credentials and purchased wallet are not shown on the leaderboard. |
| Cloud backup | If you save a backup, the game uploads your progress snapshot, inventory and save revision to restore it through the same account. |
| Purchase and wallet records | Product identifiers, transaction and verification records, purchase status, account identifiers and balances let us deliver items, prevent duplicate grants, restore supported ownership and process refunds. Google Play processes payment details; we do not receive your full card number. |
| Advertising and technical data | Advertising services may process advertising or app identifiers, IP address, approximate location inferred from IP, device and app details, ad interactions, diagnostics and consent choices to deliver and measure ads, verify rewards and prevent fraud. |
| Support correspondence | Information you choose to send, such as your contact details, username and description of a problem, is used to respond and investigate. |
3. Services that process information
We use the following services for the features described above. Each receives information relevant to its role. Provider policies explain their own handling of data.
- Google provides optional Google sign-in, Google Play distribution, billing and updates, and Play Games profiles, achievements, leaderboards and saved-game backups.
- RevenueCat verifies purchases and manages purchase ownership using the game account identifier and store transaction information.
- Google AdMob supplies advertising, mediation and privacy messaging. Unity Ads is an advertising partner through AdMob mediation.
- Our game backend uses self-hosted Supabase software on Railway for authentication, cloud saves, wallet records and rankings. This is not a Supabase-hosted game database.
- Cloudflare helps deliver and protect requests to our game services and can process connection and security information.
We may disclose information when required by applicable law, to protect users or the service, or in connection with a business transfer subject to applicable protections. We do not publish your private account or payment-verification records.
4. Advertising and privacy choices
The game includes automatic ads at selected breaks and optional rewarded ads for benefits such as boosters or a retry. Choosing a rewarded ad is optional. Buying Remove Automatic Ads removes automatic ads; it does not remove optional rewarded offers.
Where required, Google’s privacy message asks about advertising data use before ads are requested. You can accept, decline or manage the available choices. Where available for your region, use the game’s Privacy Options action to review or withdraw those choices. Declining personalized advertising does not necessarily remove all ads or the limited data processing needed to deliver and secure them.
AdMob and its advertising partners may use data across apps and services for advertising when permitted by your choices and applicable law. Some jurisdictions describe this as targeted advertising or “sharing.” Applicable choices are presented through the privacy message. You can also manage your advertising identifier and related choices in Android’s privacy settings.
To verify a coin reward, our service receives a signed ad-completion record with the game account identifier and a reward/run reference. These records help us grant the correct reward and prevent duplicate or fraudulent claims.
Optional analytics, crash reports and reminders
In versions with Settings → Privacy & Data, gameplay analytics and crash reports are separate, optional choices. Older releases start with both off. Updated releases enable both automatically for players aged 16 or older when the regional privacy check confirms that consent is not required. If your region requires consent, your age is unknown or below 16, or the check cannot complete, collection stays off until you choose to enable it in Settings. A saved choice to switch either option off is always respected. When enabled, Google Analytics for Firebase receives gameplay events, app-instance identifiers and app/device information to help us understand game usage. Firebase Crashlytics receives technical crash reports, stack traces, installation identifiers and app/device information to help us fix problems. We do not add your email, username, purchase receipt or account token to analytics events or custom crash logs. See Firebase privacy information.
Turning analytics off stops collection and resets the local analytics identifier. Turning crash reports off stops automatic reporting and deletes unsent reports from your device. This does not automatically erase reports already received by Google; contact us about applicable data rights. Gameplay and purchases work with both options off. Advertising choices are managed separately.
Local reminders: Settings → Notifications lets you choose daily challenge invitations and return reminders. Android permission is requested only after you turn an option on. Reminders are scheduled on your device around 6 pm local time, at most once per day, for a limited number of days after play. Android may delay or suppress them. No internet connection or remote messaging token is needed. Turn reminders off in the game or Android settings.
5. Age and children
Catch Everything! is intended for a general audience aged 13 and over. The game asks for an age band rather than a full birth date to apply advertising treatment. Users under 13 should not use the online account or advertising features. A parent or guardian who believes a child has supplied personal information can contact us to request investigation and deletion.
6. Legal grounds and your rights
Where a legal basis is required, we process information to provide the features and purchases you request, with consent where required, for legitimate interests such as security and abuse prevention, and to meet legal obligations. We assess these interests against your rights. You may withdraw consent without affecting processing that was lawful before withdrawal.
Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete or receive a copy of your information, restrict or object to processing, opt out of applicable targeted advertising, and complain to your local data protection authority. Contact us using the details below. We may need to verify account ownership before handling a request.
7. Account and data deletion
Open Settings → Privacy & Data → Request Account Deletion, or visit our deletion request page without reinstalling the game.
To request deletion of your Catch Everything! account and associated cloud data, email [email protected] with the subject “Catch Everything account deletion.” Use your linked account email and include your username if you have one. Do not send your password, sign-in code or full payment details.
After verifying the request, we remove or de-identify account, profile, ranking and saved-progress information as applicable. Limited transaction, security or dispute records may need to be retained where required or permitted by law. We explain any applicable exception when handling your request. Account deletion may prevent recovery of progress, purchased balances and items.
Uninstalling the game or signing out does not by itself delete cloud records. Device data can be removed through Android’s app storage controls. Deleting a game account does not delete your Google account or Google Play’s own transaction records, and does not automatically issue a refund. You can manage or delete Google Play Games data through Google’s Play Games settings; deleting your Catch Everything account does not automatically remove that separate Google-managed data.
8. Retention
Local information remains on your device until replaced or removed through the app or Android. Cloud account, backup, wallet and ranking information is retained while needed to provide those features or until a verified deletion request is processed, subject to necessary legal, security and dispute-related exceptions. Technical logs are retained only as needed for operation and investigation. Providers manage records under their own retention policies. No fixed automatic cloud-account deletion schedule is currently in place.
9. Security and international processing
We use encrypted connections and access controls for game services. Sign-in tokens and administrative credentials are handled separately from public player profiles. No system can guarantee complete security. Our service providers may process information outside your country. Where required, appropriate contractual or other legal safeguards apply to international transfers.
10. Changes to this policy
We will post changes at this URL and update the policy date. Where applicable law requires additional notice or renewed consent, we will provide it before the relevant change takes effect.
