Pouncly Privacy Policy

Effective date: 2026-11-12

Pouncly ("the app") is an on-screen toy for cats provided by DDJ B1 ("we", "us"). A laser dot, fish, mouse, ladybug or butterfly moves across the screen for your cat to chase, and the app keeps a simple play history for each of your cats. It has no account system, no login and no server operated by us.

Information stored on your device

The cat names you enter, your play history (date, toy, play time and number of catches for each session) and your toy, timer and app settings are stored locally on your device. The app itself does not send this information to us, and we have no server to receive it.

Uninstalling the app deletes the information stored in the app. Android's standard app backup may include app data in your own Google account backup if you have device backup enabled; that backup is controlled by you and Google, not by us.

Play screen, sound and vibration

During play the app shows moving toys, plays a short sound when your cat touches a toy (you can turn this off) and keeps the screen on until you stop. Touches on the play screen are used only to move the toys and count catches on the device. The app does not use the camera or microphone, and it is an on-screen toy, not a real laser.

Sharing

If you tap Share on a result screen, the app passes a short text (your cat's name, play time and number of catches) to the app you select through Android's share sheet. The app does not send it anywhere by itself.

Permissions

Pouncly does not request location, camera, microphone, contacts, photos or phone access.

Advertising and information collected automatically

The app displays advertisements provided by Google AdMob on the screens people use (never on the play screen your cat touches, in notifications or in the widget). To serve and measure ads and to prevent fraud, the AdMob SDK may collect and share with Google information such as your device's advertising identifier and other device identifiers, approximate location derived from your IP address, app interactions (for example ad views and taps), crash logs and diagnostics. This data is shared with Google as a third party for advertising, analytics and fraud prevention purposes. For more information see https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.

For users in the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom and other regions where required, the app presents a consent form via Google's User Messaging Platform (UMP) before personalized advertising data is used; if you decline, non-personalized ads are shown. You can change your choice from the app's Settings screen ("Ad privacy settings") and reset or limit ad personalization in your device settings.

Pet safety

Supervise your cat while it plays. Use a case or screen protector if you are worried about scratches, and stop if your cat becomes frustrated or overexcited. Ending each session with a real toy your cat can catch helps it feel satisfied.

Children

The app is intended for adult pet owners. It is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Your rights

Your cats, play history and settings exist only on your device; uninstalling the app removes them. Depending on your region (e.g. GDPR, CCPA), you may have rights regarding data processed by the advertising SDK; you can exercise ad-related choices through the consent form and your device's ad settings.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date.
