Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Dope Capybara (“we”, “us”, “our”) handles information when you visit our website at dopecapybara.com and when you use our mobile applications (“Apps”).

We respect your privacy. We try to collect as little data as practical and do not sell personal data for money. Advertising providers may process or share limited data as described below.

1. Who we are

Dope Capybara is an indie mobile studio. For any privacy-related question, write to playdopecapybara@gmail.com. We act as the data controller for the limited data described below.

2. Website (dopecapybara.com)

Website analytics choices

We use Google Analytics 4 with analytics cookies disabled by default. You can allow or decline these cookies in the website notice and change your choice through Analytics choices in the footer. Declining does not limit access to the website or its tools.

If you allow analytics cookies, Google can use them to distinguish visits and measure how people use the website. If you decline, the Google tag sends measurement requests without reading or writing analytics cookies. Such requests may support Google’s statistical modeling; they do not necessarily appear in our reports. Measurement requests can include:

• Page URL visited
• Approximate country / region
• Approximate device type (mobile / desktop)
• HTTP referrer (where you arrived from)
• Tool starts, completions and calculator use, plus clicks to app pages and stores

These interaction events identify the tool or app and the page where the action happened. They do not include your quiz answers, scores, selected dates, photo contents or video dimensions.

Advertising storage, advertising user data and ad personalization remain disabled regardless of your analytics choice. We do not enable Google Signals. We remember your allow or decline choice in local storage for 90 days, then ask again. Withdrawing permission disables analytics cookie use and removes the website’s accessible _ga cookies; it does not delete data already collected by Google. Your light or dark theme preference is also saved locally. See Google’s explanation of measurements without cookies for details of this analytics mode.

If you submit our contact form, we receive the information you choose to send us (name, email, topic, message, optional rating). This data is delivered to our inbox via Resend for the sole purpose of replying to you. We do not add you to any mailing list or use this information for advertising.

3. Mobile apps

Our Apps are built around the principle of “data minimization”:

• No account or sign-up required. Our Apps do not ask you to create an account.
• Offline-first. Most features work fully offline. The Apps do not transmit personal data to our servers in the normal course of use.
• Data stored locally. Things like your goals, progress, test results, settings and preferences are stored locally on your device. If Android Backup is enabled, eligible data may also be included in your Google-managed, encrypted device backup and restored after reinstalling the App or moving to a new device. We cannot access that backup.
• No profile details requested. We do not ask for your name, email, contacts, photos, or precise location in our Apps. Third-party SDKs may automatically process technical identifiers and other signals described below.

Some Apps may include the following limited integrations. Each App’s Google Play listing details exactly which apply.

3.1 Crash reporting

Some Apps include a crash reporting SDK (e.g. Firebase Crashlytics or Google Play’s built-in crash reports). When the App crashes, a technical report may be sent containing the device model, OS version, app-instance identifier, and stack trace. This data is used to diagnose and fix bugs.

3.2 Usage analytics and app event measurement

Some Apps use Firebase Analytics. Year Progress 2026: Life, Habits & Goals also sends app events to Meta App Events through the Facebook SDK and to TikTok for Business through the TikTok Business SDK.

These events may cover app installation and launch, screen views, onboarding or tutorial progress, feature milestones, paywall views, checkout, trials, purchases or restores, and ad impressions. Event details may include a product or order identifier, purchase value and currency, subscription type, ad format and source, feature category, locale, premium status, and app or device information. Google, Meta, and TikTok may also process an app-instance identifier, the Android Advertising ID where permitted, an IP address and approximate location inferred from it, device model, operating system, app version, and SDK diagnostics.

We share this data with those providers for product analytics, install and purchase attribution, campaign measurement, fraud prevention, and ad delivery and optimization. We do not send the text of your goals, habits, countdowns or notes, your exact birth date, contacts, photos, or payment-card details through these event integrations.

Where required, the Apps request consent through Google’s User Messaging Platform. Your choice affects advertising identifiers, personalization, and event delivery. You can revisit it through Privacy choices in the App where available or reset or delete the Android Advertising ID in your device settings.

3.3 Advertising and mediation

Apps marked “Contains ads” use Google AdMob to serve and measure ads. AdMob may use mediation partners. Depending on the App and current mediation setup, these may include Meta Audience Network, Unity Ads, Liftoff Monetize (Vungle), and Pangle. Depending on your region, consent choice, and the ad shown, these SDKs may collect and share advertising or device identifiers, IP-derived approximate location, device and app information, ad impressions and clicks, diagnostics, and, where applicable, purchase or ad-performance signals. They use this data to deliver and measure ads, prevent fraud, comply with law, and, where you consent, personalize advertising.

In the EEA, UK, and Switzerland, Apps request consent through Google’s User Messaging Platform. Choosing non-personalized ads limits personalization but does not stop processing needed for contextual ads, measurement, security, and fraud prevention. Where available, you can revisit your choice through Privacy choices in the App’s settings. You can also reset or limit the Android Advertising ID in your device settings. Purchasing Pro removes ads.

Provider policies: Google/AdMob, Meta, TikTok, Unity, Liftoff Monetize, and Pangle.

3.4 In-app purchases

In-app purchases are processed by Google Play Billing. We never receive or store your payment details; Google handles billing entirely. We receive only a purchase token and status used to grant the entitlement.

3.5 Third-party services

The third parties referenced above operate under their own privacy policies: Google, Meta, TikTok, Unity, Liftoff, Pangle, Vercel, and Resend. We do not send them data beyond what is needed for the services described in this policy.

4. Data retention

• Website analytics: consented measurements may use cookie identifiers; they are not solely anonymous aggregates. Retention follows our Google Analytics property settings. The local analytics choice expires after 90 days.
• Contact form messages: retained in our inbox until the conversation is resolved, after which they may be archived. You can ask us to delete your message at any time.
• App data: stored locally on your device. Clearing the App’s storage or uninstalling it removes the on-device copy. It may not immediately delete an existing Google-managed Android backup; you control that backup through your Android and Google Account settings.
• Advertising, analytics, and diagnostics: processed and retained by the relevant providers under their policies. We do not store the raw SDK event stream on our own servers.

5. Your rights

If you are in the EU/EEA, UK, or another jurisdiction with similar laws, you have the right to access, correct, port, restrict, object to, and request the deletion of personal data we hold about you. To exercise any of these rights, email playdopecapybara@gmail.com and we will respond within 30 days.

Residents of US states with applicable privacy laws may also have rights to know, delete, or correct personal data and to opt out of applicable sale, sharing, or targeted advertising. We do not sell personal data for money. Advertising providers may process data in ways that qualify as sharing or targeted advertising under some state laws. Use Privacy choices in an App where available, your Android advertising privacy controls, or contact us by email to exercise these rights. We will not discriminate against you for doing so.

For provider-side app event data, you can also manage activity off Meta technologies or use TikTok’s privacy request form. Because our Apps do not create accounts, we usually cannot identify a provider-side SDK record from an email address alone.

In practice, the personal data we store directly is usually correspondence you initiated. The providers listed above may separately process technical data from an App or website.

6. Children’s privacy

Our Apps are rated for general audiences and do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us personal information through our website or contact form, contact us and we will delete it.

7. Security

We use industry-standard transport security (HTTPS) for the website and our APIs. We rely on Google Play and our hosting provider for infrastructure-level security. No internet-connected service is 100% secure, but we minimize what we hold so the impact of any breach stays minimal.

8. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy. The “Last updated” date at the top reflects the most recent version. Material changes will be announced on this page or through the App where applicable.
