Welcome to PuppyMerge (hereinafter referred to as "the Game")!
This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store and protect your personal information (you are referred to as "Player") when you use the Game. This Policy constitutes a valid agreement between you and us. By downloading, installing and using the Game, you acknowledge that you have fully read, understood and voluntarily agreed to all terms of this Policy. If you disagree with any provision of this Policy, please stop using the Game and uninstall the application immediately.
To ensure stable operation of the Game, device compatibility, troubleshooting and improved gaming experience, we only collect the following necessary information within the minimum scope while you are playing. No non-essential information will be collected.
When the Game launches, loads and runs, it automatically collects basic information about your terminal device, including device model, operating system version, application version number, basic device identifiers, application authorization status and authorization time. Such information is solely used for device compatibility adaptation, maintaining stable game performance, system optimization and device security verification.
We record your in-game activity data, including level progress, game duration, item usage records, task completion status, operation logs, application crash logs and error reports. This information is only used to fix bugs, optimize gameplay, enhance player experience and troubleshoot technical issues.
The Game may access your device’s current network status and network type merely to adapt to network conditions and guarantee smooth gameplay. We do not collect or store browsing history, transmitted network content or any additional information.
The application may temporarily read clipboard content only when you actively perform copy or paste operations inside the Game to support relevant in-game functions. We will not retain or back up clipboard content, collect sensitive private information, nor share such content with any third parties.
We strictly abide by the principles of legality, legitimacy, necessity and data minimization. The collected information shall only be used for the following core purposes and will never be used for irrelevant activities or commercial promotion:
Your gameplay data and device information may be stored in compliant secure data centers. We carry out data storage and transmission in compliance with applicable laws based on operational requirements. By using the Game, you consent to such compliant storage and transmission of information. All data transmission follows industry security standards; unauthorized external transmission or leakage of data will not occur.
We adopt industry-standard technical and administrative safeguards to protect your personal information, including transmission encryption (SSL/TLS), firewall isolation, access control and encrypted data storage. These multi-layered measures help prevent personal information from being leaked, altered, lost, accessed or used without authorization, so as to fully protect your information security.
We will never sell, rent or trade your personal information. The Game contains no advertisements, third-party login services or commercial data partnerships. Except under the following statutory circumstances, we will not share or disclose your personal information to any third party:
You enjoy all legal rights relating to your personal information, including:
Minors under the age of 18 must obtain consent from their guardians and use the Game under guardian supervision. We will not proactively collect additional sensitive personal information from minors and only gather data necessary for the Game to function. If guardians believe we have improperly collected minor information, or wish to amend or delete minor-related data, please contact us for processing.
Where local legislation imposes a higher age threshold (such as 16 in the EU or 13 in certain regions of the United States), the stricter local standard shall prevail.
We reserve the right to update this Privacy Policy in response to business adjustments and changes in applicable laws and regulations. Updated versions will take effect upon publication within the Game and replace all prior versions. Your continued use of the Game constitutes acceptance of the revised Policy. If you do not accept the updated terms, please cease usage and uninstall the Game immediately.
