Meow Jar privacy policy

Last updated: October 20, 2026

This policy covers the Meow Jar game for Android, published by Rekto Digital LLC ("we", "us").

The short version

You don't need an account, and your progress is saved on your device. From version 1.4, if you're signed in to Google Play Games, the game can also keep a copy of your progress in your Play Games cloud save and post your scores to its leaderboards, and you can turn on an optional daily reminder. From version 1.3, the app can show optional video ads from Google AdMob, and only when you choose to watch one. When the app prepares or shows an ad, Google collects some information from your device, described below. From version 1.3.4, the app also sends anonymous play statistics (how many people play, and from which countries) through Google Analytics for Firebase, so we can see whether the game is doing well. We don't receive personal information from these ads or statistics and we don't sell personal information.

What stays on your device

Your progress (scores, level, coins, unlocked cats and settings such as sound and language) is saved on your device, so you can pick up where you left off. We can't see it. Uninstalling the game or clearing its data deletes it from the device. If your device's backup is turned on, Android may include it in your own device backup. If you use Google Play Games, a copy is also kept in your Play Games cloud save, described below.

Google Play Games (from version 1.4)

On Android, Meow Jar works with Google Play Games, operated by Google LLC (or Google Ireland Limited in the European Economic Area, the UK and Switzerland). If you have a Play Games profile, Google may sign you in automatically when the game starts; you can decline, and the whole game works without it. When you're signed in:

• Google gives the game your Play Games player ID, which it uses to identify your saves and scores in Google Play Games. The game doesn't receive your name, email address or contacts.
• Cloud save: the game saves a copy of your progress (the same information listed above) to your Play Games cloud save, so you can restore it on a new phone. On a new phone, the game asks before replacing its progress with the cloud copy.
• Leaderboards: your Classic and Daily jar scores are posted to the game's leaderboards in Google Play Games. Who can see your scores and your gamer name follows your Play Games profile settings.

This data is stored by Google in your Google Play Games account; we can't see it. You can manage or delete your Play Games profile and its data, including this game's saves and scores, in the Google Play Games app or your Google Account settings. Google's use of this data is described in its privacy policy.

Advertising

Meow Jar is free. The Android app can show optional video ads, and only when you choose to watch one: for example, to keep going after the jar fills up, or to get an extra shake or swap. There are no banners and no ads that play by themselves. You can play the whole game without ever watching an ad, including offline.

These videos are provided by Google AdMob, operated by Google LLC (or Google Ireland Limited in the European Economic Area, the UK and Switzerland). When the app requests or shows an ad, Google's Mobile Ads SDK collects and receives information from your device, including:

• device identifiers, such as your device's advertising ID and app set ID;
• your IP address, which may be used to estimate your general location (country or city, not your precise location);
• information about the ads you see and tap (ad interactions);
• diagnostic and performance information, such as crash data and how quickly ads load;
• basic device information, such as the device model, operating system version and language.

Google uses this information to show ads, measure them, prevent fraud and abuse, and improve its services. Depending on your choices and where you live, the ads may be personalised. Google's use of this data is described in its privacy policy and on the page How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services.

Play statistics

To see how many people play and how they found the game, the Android app uses Google Analytics for Firebase, operated by Google LLC (or Google Ireland Limited in the European Economic Area, the UK and Switzerland). It records basic usage events, such as the app being installed and opened and how long a session lasts, together with:

• an app instance ID, a random identifier created for this installation of the app (it is not your advertising ID, which the statistics never collect);
• your general location (country or city), estimated from your IP address;
• basic device information, such as the device model, operating system version, language and app version.

The statistics are used only to count and understand players, never to show or personalise ads, and we see them only as totals. Where consent is required (the European Economic Area, the UK and Switzerland), the app stores statistics data only after you've agreed in Google's consent form, and follows your choice if you change it. Google's use of this data is described in its privacy policy.

Your choices

• In the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland, the app asks for your consent with Google's consent form before any ad is requested or any statistics data is stored. You can change your choice at any time in the game: Settings, then "Privacy choices".
• On any Android device you can reset or delete your advertising ID, or opt out of personalised ads, in your phone's settings (Settings, then Privacy, then Ads).
• If you never tap a video offer, no ad is shown. The app still contacts Google to prepare a video and, where required, to show the consent form.

Daily reminders

From version 1.4, the game can show a daily reminder when your Daily jar is ready. It's off until you say yes, and you can turn it off at any time in the game's Settings or in your phone's notification settings. Reminders are planned and shown by your phone; no information is sent to us or to anyone else for them.

Ratings

The app may ask you once, after a good game, whether you'd like to rate it. This uses Google Play's in-app review feature; your rating goes to Google Play, not to us.

Permissions

The app declares Android's internet permission, which it uses for the optional videos, Google's consent form, the play statistics and Google Play Games. From version 1.4 it also asks for permission to show notifications, only if you turn on daily reminders. The game itself plays offline; statistics and cloud saves are sent later, when you're online.

Children

Meow Jar is intended for players aged 13 and over. Ads are limited to content suitable for all ages (rating G).
