Privacy Policy

At Pixel Paws, we take your privacy seriously. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you use our macOS virtual pet application ('Pixel Paws' or the 'App').

To provide the virtual pet experience, we store all data locally on your device. We do not collect personal information on our servers. The data we store locally includes:

• Pet Data: We store your pet's name, age, and its core stats (hunger, happiness, energy) to make the simulation work.
• Game Progress: To save your progress, we store information like the date you last opened the app and whether you have completed the onboarding flow.
• Purchase Information: If you choose to upgrade to the premium version, a record of your purchase is stored locally on your device to unlock premium features. This is managed through Apple's App Store; we do not collect or store your payment information.

Your locally-stored information is used solely to:

• Provide the core virtual pet experience.
• Save your pet's state and your progress in the game.
• Personalize the app with your pet's name.
• Restore premium features you have purchased.

We do not share your personal data with any third parties, except as follows:

• Apple, Inc.: To process In-App Purchases for our premium upgrade, we use Apple's StoreKit service. The transaction is handled entirely by Apple's secure App Store platform. We do not have access to your payment details. We only receive a confirmation that the purchase was successful to unlock your premium features.

We do not sell your data or share it with any other third parties for marketing or analytics purposes.

The Pixel Paws app does not contain any tracking or analytics software. We do not use cookies or other tracking technologies within the app. We prioritize your privacy.

All your app data (pet's name, stats, game progress) is stored locally on your device. This data is retained until you uninstall the app. We do not store your personal data on our servers.

We are committed to protecting your data. Since all data is stored locally on your device, you are in control. We use secure, standard Apple frameworks (StoreKit) to handle In-App Purchases.

When you make an In-App Purchase, the transaction data is processed by Apple and may be transferred internationally as part of their standard operations. We do not transfer your personal app data internationally.

You have the right to delete all your stored data by uninstalling the application from your device.

Our service does not address anyone under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 13.

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page.
