Privacy Policy
Catch & Dash · Last updated 24 September 2026
Catch & Dash is a board game for Android. You can play the whole game offline against the computer without an account. You only need an account for Play with friends, the online mode. This policy explains what that account involves.
Playing offline
Offline play needs no account and sends nothing to us. Your settings, your saved game and your offline record stay on your device. Uninstalling the app removes them.
What we collect when you use Play with friends
| Data | Why |
|---|---|
| Your email address, or the Google account you sign in with | To identify your account so you can rejoin your game from any device and keep your online record. Sign-in is handled by Google Firebase Authentication. |
| An account identifier we generate | To link you to the rooms you join and the results of your games. |
| Game results: which game, whether you won or lost, whether you left before the end, and how many people started the game | To show your online record and to apply the rule that leaving a game counts as a loss. |
| Game state while a game is running: the board, whose turn it is, and the moves played | To run the game and to let you rejoin if your connection drops. |
We do not collect your name, your photo, your contacts, your location, your device
identifiers or your advertising ID. The app shows other players as Guest; it does not
share your email address with them.
What the app does not do
- No advertising, and no advertising or analytics SDKs.
- No in-app purchases and no payments.
- We do not sell or rent your data, and we do not use it for advertising.
Who processes this data
We use two service providers, and only for the purposes above:
- Google Firebase Authentication — sign-in and account identity.
- Cloudflare — the game server and the database that holds rooms and results.
Data is sent over encrypted connections (HTTPS and WSS).
How long we keep it
| Data | Kept for |
|---|---|
| A room waiting to start | 30 minutes |
| The detailed game data of a finished game | 7 days |
| The record of commands your device sent, used to avoid applying the same move twice | 24 hours, after which only a fingerprint is kept |
| Your account and your online win/loss record | Until you delete your account |
| The internal record that a deletion was carried out | Removed within 30 days of completion |
Deleting your account
You can delete your account from inside the app: Play with friends → Account → Delete account. You can also request deletion from the web:
Deletion removes your sign-in account, your online record and the link between you and the games you played. Games that other people also played in are kept without any link to you, so that their own records stay correct. See the deletion page for the full detail.
Children
Catch & Dash is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect data from them. If you believe a child has created an account, contact us and we will delete it.
Your choices
- Play offline and give us nothing.
- Sign out at any time; your data stays until you delete the account.
- Delete your account, which deletes the data described above.
- Ask us what is stored about you, or ask us to correct or delete it.
Changes
If this policy changes we will update this page and the date at the top. Material changes will also be noted in the app's release notes on Google Play.
