Privacy Policy
Plain English Summary
RuneBeast mobile apps and games (including Plushlings: My Mobile Pet) do not require user accounts, do not run game telemetry servers, and do not collect, sell, or share personal information. Your gameplay data stays on your device.
1. Scope & Overview
This Privacy Policy applies to the mobile games and applications published by RuneBeast on Google Play, including but not limited to Plushlings: My Mobile Pet.
We believe that family-friendly games should be private, calm, and respectful. We do not require accounts, logins, or personally identifiable information to enjoy our games.
2. What Stays on Your Device
All gameplay progress—including your pet state, level, scores, virtual coins, wardrobe items, room decor, and gameplay settings—is stored locally in device storage.
We never receive, transmit, or store this gameplay data on our servers. You have complete control over your data: you can reset progress at any time within the game settings or permanently remove it by uninstalling the app.
The only exception to a reset is a tiny record of your last daily gift (just the date and the day count of your streak), which the game keeps so the same day's gift can't be claimed twice. It contains nothing about you and never leaves your device except through your own Android backup (see below).
3. Android Cloud Backup
If you have enabled Android Auto Backup or Google Drive backup on your Android device, Android may include the local app save file and the small daily gift record (date and streak) in your private Google account backup. This enables you to restore your pet and progress when switching or upgrading devices.
This process is strictly managed by your device's operating system and your personal Google Account settings. RuneBeast has no access to your Google Account or backup archives.
4. Children's Privacy & Families Policy
Compliance with COPPA and Google Play Families Policy:
Our games are designed to be suitable for players of all ages, including children under 13. We strictly adhere to the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and Google Play Families Policy requirements:
- We do not knowingly collect, store, or share any personal information from children.
- Our games do not feature social chat rooms, user-to-user messaging, or location sharing.
- All advertising requests are configured with child-directed treatment (TFCD) and General content rating (G).
- We explicitly remove Android Advertising IDs (AD_ID) from our game manifests.
- Purchases and external links are protected by parental verification gates.
5. In-App Advertising (Google AdMob)
Our free games may include optional, opt-in rewarded video advertisements powered by Google AdMob (a Google Families-certified SDK).
- No forced popups: Ads are never displayed automatically or as intrusive interstitials. They only play if you explicitly tap to watch a bonus offer.
- Child-Directed & Non-Personalized: Ads are requested with child-directed treatment, non-personalized ad parameters (
npa=true), and a maximum content rating of G. - Data Processed by AdMob: To deliver, secure, and measure ad performance, the AdMob SDK may process limited technical network information, such as IP address and general device diagnostics. For more details, refer to Google's Privacy Policy and the AdMob Play Data Disclosure.
6. In-App Purchases (Google Play Billing)
Optional one-time digital purchases (such as expansion packs or Plus upgrades) are processed directly by Google Play Billing.
RuneBeast never collects, sees, or stores your credit card details or financial information. Google Play verifies and confirms purchased entitlements securely to the app on your device.
7. Local Notifications & Reminders
Reminders are off by default. They are only turned on if the player chooses to: with the Reminders switch in the game settings, or by tapping “Yes please” when the game asks once, after the first daily gift. They are friendly nudges, for instance when the pet might be hungry. These notifications are scheduled and triggered completely on your local device using Android's notification alarms. No push servers are used, and notifications can be toggled off at any moment in the app settings or system settings.
8. Permissions Used & Purpose
INTERNET&ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE: Required solely to verify Google Play purchase receipts and fetch optional rewarded ads when connected to the internet.POST_NOTIFICATIONS: (Android 13+) Requested at runtime only when you choose to turn on pet reminders (in the settings, or by accepting the in-game reminder question).VIBRATE: Used for subtle, gentle haptic feedback during interactions (can be toggled off).
9. Data Retention & Deletion
Because all gameplay information is saved on your device, deleting your data is immediate and simple:
- Use the Reset Progress button in the game settings to clear your game progress (the small daily gift record described above is kept).
- Clear app storage in Android Settings → Apps → Storage → Clear Data.
- Uninstalling the app immediately erases all locally saved game files.
10. Changes to This Policy
We may occasionally update this Privacy Policy to reflect app updates or regulatory adjustments. The revised version will always be published on this page with an updated Last Updated date.
