Lazy Cat King Privacy Policy
Version: 2026-11-02 Effective: November 2, 2026
"Lazy Cat King" (the "Game") is operated by the developer shown on the Game's App Store page ("we", "us"). This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, how long we keep it, and how you can see or delete it.
1. In short
The Game is mainly played offline. When you play offline we collect nothing, and your progress stays on your device. Information is sent to our servers only when you use online features (cloud save, mail, shop, friends, chat, clans, world map).
2. What we collect
| Information | When | Why | Required? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Game progress (save) | Always kept on your device; a copy is uploaded when you log in (cloud save) | Continue playing; restore progress after reinstalling or switching devices | Local save: yes. Cloud save: optional |
| Device ID | First time you go online | A random ID generated by the Game itself to create a guest account. It is not an advertising ID, IMEI or serial number | Yes, for online features |
| Email address | If you log in or link an email | Send verification codes, log in, recover your account | Optional |
| Phone number | If you log in or link a phone number | Send verification codes (via an SMS provider), log in, recover your account | Optional |
| Nickname and avatar choice | When you set them | Shown on leaderboards, friends, chat and clans | When using those features |
| Chat messages, clan notices and other content you post | When you post | Shown to other players; handling reports and violations | When using those features |
| Gameplay events | While online | For example: game start, floors cleared, features opened, logins, purchases. Used for statistics, improving the Game and fixing bugs | When using online features |
| Purchase records | When you buy in the shop | Deliver items, customer support, refunds and fraud prevention. Payment is handled by Apple; we never receive your card or payment details | When purchasing |
| Network information (IP address) | Automatically while online | Security, e.g. blocking brute-force login attempts | When using online features |
We do not access your contacts, messages, photos, location, microphone or camera, and we do not track you across other apps or websites. The Game has no third-party advertising or analytics SDKs.
3. How we use and store information
- We use information only for the purposes listed above. If we want to use it for something new, we will ask for your consent again.
- Our servers are located in Singapore.
- Retention:
· Account, saves: until you delete your account;
· Cloud save history: only the latest 10 versions per account;
· Gameplay events: normally no longer than 2 years, de-identified when used for statistics;
· Purchase records: as long as required by law;
· Verification codes: expire after 10 minutes. - We use reasonable security measures, such as storing only hashes of login credentials and requiring a password for admin access. If a security incident happens, we will notify you as required by law.
- We do not sell your personal information.
4. Your rights
- See and correct: in "Account" you can see your nickname, player ID, linked email / phone (partly hidden), and change your nickname.
- Delete local data: "Restart" in Settings erases progress on this device; uninstalling the Game also removes local data.
- Withdraw consent: you can log out and stop using online features at any time.
- Delete your account: in "Account" → "Delete Account", or by emailing us. There is a 7-day cooling-off period during which you can cancel; after that the account is deleted automatically. Saves, mail, friends, chat history and other account data are deleted or anonymized and cannot be recovered, except records we must keep by law (such as purchase records).
- You may contact us with any question or complaint about your personal information. Depending on where you live (for example California or the EU), you may have additional rights such as access, deletion and portability; email us to exercise them.
5. Children
The Game is not directed at children under 13. If you are under 13, please use the Game only with a parent or guardian's consent and supervision, and do not use online features without their permission. Parents can contact us to review or delete their child's information. If we learn we collected personal information from a child under 13 without parental consent, we will delete it promptly.
6. Players in mainland China
For players in mainland China, Chinese anti-addiction rules may require real-name verification. In that case we keep only a masked name, a one-way hash of the ID number and the birth year/month, never the full name or ID number. This does not apply to players outside mainland China.
7. Third parties
Purchases are processed by Apple under Apple's own privacy policy. SMS and email verification codes are delivered through messaging providers that receive only the phone number / email and the code. We list any new third-party service here before using it.
8. Changes
When this policy changes, the Game will ask you to read and accept it again at startup.
