Information Collection
BarkinMad Studios may collect limited anonymous technical and usage information through its apps, website analytics, advertising services, and platform providers.
Personal information is only collected when you choose to provide it, such as when contacting us for support or making an enquiry.
Some gameplay information, including scores, achievements, statistics, settings, cosmetic unlocks, and game progress, may be stored locally on your device or synchronised using Apple services where supported.
Game Center
Some games use Apple Game Center for achievements, leaderboards, score tracking, matchmaking, multiplayer features, and other gaming services.
Any Game Center information is managed by Apple and is subject to Apple's own privacy policies and account settings.
BarkinMad Coins
Some BarkinMad Studios games include BarkinMad Coins, a gameplay reward system used to unlock cosmetic content such as skins, colours, themes, and other visual customisation options.
BarkinMad Coins are earned through gameplay only. They have no cash value and cannot be transferred, exchanged for money, or redeemed for real-world goods or services.
Where supported, coin balances and cosmetic unlocks may be synchronised across compatible BarkinMad Studios games using Apple iCloud and CloudKit services linked to your Apple account.
BarkinMad Studios never receives access to your Apple account credentials. Synchronisation is handled by Apple and remains subject to Apple's privacy policies and account settings.
Advertising
Some apps and website pages may display advertisements provided by third-party advertising partners such as Google AdSense and Google AdMob.
Advertising providers may use cookies, device identifiers, or similar technologies to measure performance and deliver personalised or non-personalised advertising.
On this website, advertising storage, ad user data, and ad personalisation are optional consent choices. Advertising services are only loaded after advertising consent has been granted through the Cookie Preferences controls.
Where required by law or platform policies, you will be presented with the appropriate consent options.
Analytics
Anonymous analytics information may include device type, operating system version, app usage, gameplay statistics, crash reports, and general interaction data.
Google Analytics is only enabled after analytics consent has been granted through the Cookie Preferences controls. Google Consent Mode v2 communicates your analytics and advertising consent choices before Google services are initialised.
This information helps improve app stability, gameplay, website performance, future updates, and the overall user experience.
In-App Purchases
Some apps offer optional in-app purchases, such as removing advertisements or unlocking additional features.
All purchases and payment processing are handled securely through Apple and remain subject to Apple's payment and privacy policies.
BarkinMad Studios does not receive or store payment card information.
Third-Party Services
Apps and website pages may include links to, or integrations with, third-party services such as Apple, Google, Facebook, analytics providers, and social media platforms.
These services operate under their own privacy policies and terms of use.
BarkinMad Studios is not responsible for the privacy practices or content of third-party services.
