Privacy Policy for the Dog Ground mobile application — how we collect, use, and protect your information as you flip dog-tag cards and find every pair across the park.
Follow the trail to any section.
Dog Ground ("the App," "we," "us") is a cheerful memory-matching game set in a sunny neighborhood park, where you flip dog-tag cards to find every pair across a 40-level campaign, Endless Park Patrol, and Daily Training. This Privacy Policy explains what information the App collects, how it is used, who it may be shared with, and the choices available to you.
By downloading, installing, or using Dog Ground, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the App.
Personal Information. We do not require you to create an account to play. If you choose to contact our support team, we may collect the email address and any details you voluntarily provide.
Technical Information. We automatically collect device identifiers (including your advertising ID), device model, operating system version, language settings, screen resolution, IP address, and general network information. Your advertising ID is retained only for as long as your device makes it available to us and is used solely for advertising and analytics purposes.
Usage Information. We collect information about how you interact with the App, such as levels completed, training modes played, Endless Park Patrol waves reached, Daily Training streaks, and crash or performance diagnostics.
On-Device Information. Your Paw Point balance, campaign progress, unlocked card backs, frames, park themes, and paw trails, badge progress, and training history are stored on your device using local storage so your progress persists between sessions.
The App itself does not use browser cookies, as it is not a web application. However, the App and its third-party SDKs may use mobile equivalents of cookies — such as device identifiers, local storage, and SDK-generated identifiers — to recognize your device, remember preferences, and measure advertising performance.
Our App integrates with the following third-party services, each of which may collect data under its own privacy policy:
Dog Ground may display advertisements, including rewarded video ads that grant in-game bonuses such as a free booster or bonus Paw Points. Our advertising partners may collect and use your advertising identifier and other technical information to serve ads that are more relevant to you and to measure ad performance.
Your advertising identifier is retained only for as long as your device makes it available to us and is used solely for advertising and analytics purposes.
You can reset or limit your advertising identifier, or opt out of personalized advertising, through your device's privacy or ad settings at any time.
Dog Ground uses an in-game currency called Paw Points, earned through campaign, Endless, and Daily Training progress. Paw Points have no real-world monetary value, cannot be exchanged for real money, and exist solely within the App.
You can spend Paw Points in the Training Shop at fixed prices:
Paw Points may also be purchasable with real money through in-app purchases, processed securely by the platform store (Google Play or Apple App Store). We do not process or store your payment card details.
Dog Ground does not require or support user-generated content such as chat, photos, or custom player profiles. Your club badges, achievement progress, accuracy charts, completed-board records, and training history are generated automatically from your gameplay and are stored locally on your device and, where applicable, associated with your device identifier for syncing and analytics purposes.
We do not sell your personal information. We may share information with:
We retain different categories of information for different periods, as summarized below:
| Data Category | Retention Period |
|---|---|
| Advertising identifier | Retained only for as long as your device makes it available to us and is used solely for advertising and analytics purposes. |

| Support correspondence | Up to 24 months after resolution |

Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or export your personal information, to object to or restrict certain processing, and to withdraw consent where processing is based on consent. To exercise these rights, contact us using the details in the Contact section below.
You can also limit ad tracking, reset your advertising identifier, or control push notification permissions directly through your device's settings at any time.
Dog Ground is not directed at children under the age of 13 (or the equivalent minimum age in your region), and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can promptly delete it.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, or legal requirements. Material changes will be reflected by updating the "Effective" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
