Privacy Policy

Cat Boss: Claw City, a game by Cat Boss Games

Effective date: 4 November 2026

The short version

1. Who we are

Cat Boss: Claw City is an Android game published on Google Play under the package name com.catboss.game. It is made by Cat Boss Games, an independent developer. In this policy, "we" and "us" mean Cat Boss Games, and "the game" means Cat Boss: Claw City.

For any question about privacy, email us at support@playcatboss.com.

Appodeal and each of its ad partners decide for themselves how they use the data they collect through the game, and each of them is responsible for that under its own privacy policy. Their links are in the partner list below.

2. What the game keeps on your phone

The game saves your progress and settings in its own private storage on your phone. This includes:

The game never sends this data to us, and we cannot see it. It is deleted when you uninstall the game or clear its storage in your phone's settings.

If backup to your Google Account is turned on in your phone's settings, Android may include the game's saved data in that backup. Google runs that backup under Google's Privacy Policy.

The game does not ask for your location, contacts, photos, files, camera or microphone, and it has no chat and no way to share content with other players.

3. The date check

To stop the daily reward, the lucky wheel and the daily challenges from being cheated by changing the phone's clock, the game takes today's date from the internet. When it needs the date, it sends a small HTTPS request to https://www.google.com/generate_204 and, if that does not answer, to https://www.cloudflare.com/cdn-cgi/trace, and reads only the date from the reply.

The request carries no account, no identifier and no game data. Like any internet connection, it shows your IP address to Google or Cloudflare, which handle it under their own policies: Google's Privacy Policy and Cloudflare's Privacy Policy. We receive and keep nothing from this check.

4. Ads: Appodeal and its partners

The game is free because it shows ads. There are two kinds:

We use Appodeal (Appodeal, Inc., United States) to choose and show these ads. Appodeal runs an auction in which its ad partners offer ads, and the winner's ad is shown. To do this, the Appodeal software in the game and the software of its partners collect data from your phone and can share it with each other and with advertisers:

Some partners also list other identifiers they create and in-app purchase information in their own disclosures. The game has no in-app purchases.

They use this data to show ads, to personalise ads where you allow it, to count views and taps, to limit how often you see the same ad, to pay us for the ads shown, to detect fraud, and to improve their services. Appodeal and many partners are based outside your country, for example in the United States, Europe and Asia, so this data may be processed in other countries under the safeguards their policies describe.

Read Appodeal's Privacy Policy. Appodeal also keeps a list of its partners with links to their privacy policies and opt-out pages, and an opt-out page for interest-based ads.

Ad partners in this version of the game

This list can change between versions of the game. When it does, we update this page.

If you are in the European Economic Area (EEA) or the United Kingdom, Appodeal's consent form appears when the game first starts its ads. The form is Appodeal's own consent manager, built on Google's User Messaging Platform and the IAB Transparency and Consent Framework. In it you can accept or refuse personalised ads, and choose purposes and partners.

If you refuse, you still see ads, but they are not personalised. Partners may still process some data without consent where the law allows it, for example to count ad views, to limit how often an ad is shown and to prevent fraud. The form explains each of these purposes.

To change or withdraw your choice later, open PROFILE in the game, tap PRIVACY, then tap AD CHOICES. The AD CHOICES button appears where privacy law gives you this choice. The PRIVACY screen also shows a short version of this policy.

In US states whose privacy laws, such as California's, let you opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information for targeted ads, sharing your advertising ID and similar data with ad partners may count as such a sale or sharing. Where Appodeal offers that opt-out, it is under the same AD CHOICES button. Deleting your advertising ID, as described in the next section, also stops personalised ads, wherever you live.

6. Turning off personalised ads on Android

Your advertising ID is a number that Android gives your phone for ads. You control it, not us:

You will still see ads in the game, but they will be less related to your interests.

7. Children

The game is not made for children under 13. It is made for players 16 and over, because it has crime stories and realistic weapons. The game itself collects no data from anyone, and it tells its ad partners that it is not made for children.

If you believe a child under 13 has played the game, email us at support@playcatboss.com with the phone's advertising ID (shown on the Ads screen in the phone's settings). We will ask Appodeal to delete the ad data linked to it. You can also delete the advertising ID yourself, as described above.

8. How long data is kept

The data on your phone stays until you uninstall the game or clear its storage. We hold no data about you, so there is nothing to delete on our side.

Appodeal and its partners keep the data they collect for as long as their own policies say. If you email us, we keep your email only as long as we need it to answer you and to handle your request.

9. Security

Your saved game stays in the game's private storage on your phone, which other apps cannot read. The date check uses HTTPS. Appodeal and its partners protect the data they collect with their own measures, which we do not control, and not every partner states that all of its connections are encrypted. Their policies, linked above, describe how they protect data.

10. Your rights

Depending on where you live, for example under the GDPR in the EEA, the UK GDPR, or the privacy laws of US states such as California, you may have the right to:

Because we hold no data about you, requests about ad data are best answered by Appodeal and its partners, who hold it. You can contact them through the links above. You can also email us at support@playcatboss.com: say what you would like, and include your advertising ID if the request is about ad data. We will pass it on to Appodeal and reply to you within 30 days.

You also have the right to complain to the data protection authority where you live. In the UK this is the Information Commissioner's Office.

11. Changes to this policy

If we change this policy, we will post the new version on this page with a new effective date. If a change affects how your data is used, we will also mention it in the game's release notes on Google Play.
