Play Center Studio: website and games

Effective date: 22 October 2026 · Last updated: 22 October 2026

Welcome to Play Center Studio! This Privacy Policy explains how Play Center Studio (Play Center Studio, "we", "us", "our") handles information across our website and all our mobile games, including Catsequences!, Moonpop Garden, Recipe Rage, and any upcoming titles or updates.

1. Who we are

Play Center Studio is an independent mobile game studio operated by Play Center Studio, located at Remote-first studio based in India. For any questions, data requests, or parental inquiries, contact us directly at playcenterstudio@gmail.com.

2. Our Core Principles: Zero Accounts, On-Device Saves

  • No player accounts: None of our games require you to create an account, log in, or provide a username, password, or email.
  • Your progress stays on your device: Game saves, unlocked levels, collected items, stars, coins, high scores, audio preferences, and privacy choices are stored strictly on your local device (app storage). We do not operate remote game servers that collect your gameplay progress. Clearing the app's cache/storage or uninstalling the game permanently deletes this local data.
  • In-app purchases: Any optional purchases (such as "Remove Ads") are processed exclusively by Google Play or the Apple App Store. We never collect, process, or store credit card numbers, bank accounts, or financial details.
  • Website privacy: This website uses zero cookies, zero analytics scripts, and zero third-party tracking embeds. Standard server access logs (IP, browser type, request time) are maintained by our hosting provider solely for system security and operational integrity. If you sign up for our studio newsletter, your email address is used solely for studio news and kept for up to 24 months after our last conversation; you can unsubscribe or request deletion at any time (see data deletion).

3. Advertising in Our Games (Google AdMob)

Our games are free to download and play. To fund active development and updates, we display advertisements provided by Google AdMob and certified partner mediation networks.

  • Banner Ads: Enabled banner ads are docked in designated, non-obtrusive placements (e.g. at the bottom of the screen) during gameplay.
  • Interstitial Breaks: Brief full-screen ad breaks appear only at natural transition points (such as completing a level), never during active puzzles or tutorial steps, and are frequency-capped per play session.
  • Rewarded Bonus Videos: Optional bonus video ads (for hints, extra taps, or cosmetic rewards) that only play when you voluntarily tap the reward button.
  • Remove Ads: Players can permanently remove banner ads and interstitial breaks at any time via the one-time "Remove Ads" in-app purchase.
  • Technical data processed by AdMob: Google AdMob may process certain technical device data (such as IP address for approximate location, device model, operating system, and ad interaction metrics) to serve ads, limit repeated impressions, detect fraud, and measure ad performance under how Google uses data in ads and the Google Privacy Policy.

4. Age Limits, Age-Band Verification & Children's Privacy (COPPA & GDPR-K)

We are committed to player safety, especially for younger audiences. Our games feature an age-band verification flow and comply with the US Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), GDPR Article 8 ("GDPR-K"), the UK Age Appropriate Design Code, and the Google Play Families Policy.

  • Age-Band Selection: When our games first launch, players encounter an age-band selection screen to establish whether child-directed protections apply.
  • Players Under the Digital Age of Consent (Children):
    • If a player selects a child age band (under 13 in the US, or under 13–16 depending on European jurisdiction), the game permanently operates in Child-Directed Mode.
    • Every ad request (including banner ads and bonus videos) is automatically tagged with tagForChildDirectedTreatment = true and tagForUnderAgeOfConsent = true.
    • Ads are strictly non-personalised and limited to family-safe, G-rated content from Google Play Families-certified ad networks.
    • Zero Tracking / No Ad IDs: Device advertising identifiers (such as Android Advertising ID / AAID or Apple IDFA) are never collected, requested, or used. Behavioral profiling is strictly prohibited.
    • Parental Gate: A grown-ups mathematical challenge (parental gate) is required before accessing any purchase screen or link that leads outside the game.
    • We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has inadvertently contacted us or shared personal data, email playcenterstudio@gmail.com and we will delete it immediately.
  • Players Above the Digital Age of Consent (General Audience):
    • Players above the age of digital consent receive general-audience ads. In jurisdictions where consent is required by law (such as the EEA, UK, and Switzerland under GDPR), Google's User Messaging Platform (UMP) asks for consent before personalized ads are delivered. On iOS, Apple's App Tracking Transparency prompt is presented only for eligible age groups.
    • You can adjust or withdraw your consent at any time in the game's Settings.

5. Analytics and Crash Reports

Our games contain no third-party gameplay analytics SDKs. Any crash reporting (where enabled) is strictly anonymous, collects no personal identifiers, and is turned off by default for child-directed sessions unless explicitly authorized by a grown-up.

6. Cookies and Storage

See our Cookie notice. In short: our website sets zero cookies. Our games store preferences and game progress locally on your device.

7. Data Retention, Deletion and Your Privacy Rights

Depending on where you reside (such as under the EU/UK GDPR, California CCPA/CPRA, or India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023), you have the right to access, correct, delete, or port your data, to restrict or object to processing, and to lodge a complaint with your supervisory authority (the data protection authority in your country).

Because we do not store your gameplay data on remote servers, deleting your on-device data is as simple as clearing the app storage or uninstalling the game (see data deletion). For inquiries or newsletter removal, email playcenterstudio@gmail.com. We never sell personal information.

8. Changes to this Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. When updated, the date at the top will reflect the revision. For material changes, games will display an updated consent or informational prompt.
