Privacy Policy
The short version
- No sign-ups. There are no accounts, logins or profiles.
- No data collection by us. We don't collect, store, share or sell your personal information.
- Your progress stays on your device.
- Advertisements are possible. The game may show ads from a third-party ad network, which handles its own data as explained in section 4.
1. Who we are
Sniff Sheep is a single-player herding game developed by PlatyGames ("we", "us"). This policy explains what information the app handles. It applies to the Sniff Sheep app and to this website.
2. No sign-ups, no personal data
Sniff Sheep never asks you to create an account or sign in. We do not ask for, collect or receive your name, email address, phone number, location, contacts, photos or any other personal information. We run no servers that receive data from the game.
3. Information stored on your device
So you can continue where you left off, the game keeps a small save file in its private storage on your device. It contains:
- game progress: the stars earned on each night and which nights are unlocked;
- settings: music and sound volume, graphics quality and vibration;
- whether you have already watched the opening film.
This file never leaves your device. We cannot see it, and other apps cannot read it.
4. Advertisements
Sniff Sheep may display advertisements to support its development. Ads are delivered by a third-party advertising network (for example, Google AdMob). We do not pass any personal information to the ad network, but when an ad is shown, the ad network itself may collect and process information from your device under its own privacy policy, such as:
- your device's advertising ID, device model and operating-system version;
- your IP address and approximate (country- or city-level) location derived from it;
- ad interactions, such as whether an ad was shown or tapped.
This is used by the ad network to deliver, measure and limit the frequency of ads and to prevent fraud. Where required by law (for example, in the EEA and UK), you will be asked for consent before personalised ads are shown. You can reset your advertising ID or opt out of personalised ads at any time in your Android settings (Settings → Privacy → Ads, or Settings → Google → Ads on some devices). For details, see the How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services page and the Google Privacy Policy.
If you never see an ad in the version you are playing, no ad network is involved and no such data is collected.
5. No analytics or tracking by us
Apart from any advertising described above, the game contains no analytics, crash reporting or tracking of its own. We do not build profiles about you or follow you across other apps.
6. Device permissions
The game may use your device's vibration motor for short haptic feedback; you can turn it off in Settings. If ads are shown, the app needs internet access to load them. No permission is used by us to collect information about you.
7. Google Play
Sniff Sheep is distributed through Google Play. When you download or update the app, Google may collect information under its own policies, which we do not control. See the Google Privacy Policy.
8. Deleting your data
Everything the game stores is on your device, so you are always in control: choose New Game → Reset progress in the game, or clear the app's storage in Android settings, or uninstall the app. We hold no copy of your data, so there is nothing to delete on our side. For data held by an ad network, use the advertising-ID controls in your Android settings.
9. Children's privacy
Sniff Sheep is suitable for a general audience. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone, including children under 13 (or the equivalent minimum age in your country). If ads are shown, they are requested in a way that complies with applicable children's-privacy rules for the app's audience settings on Google Play.
10. This website
This website is a static page with a 3D scene made from the game's own models. It has no forms, no sign-ups, no cookies, no analytics and no ads. The hosting provider may keep standard technical server logs (such as IP address and browser type) for security and reliability, under its own policy.
11. Changes to this policy
If a future version of Sniff Sheep changes how data is handled, we will update this policy before that version is released and change the effective date above.
