Merge Pets — Privacy Policy

Effective date: 26 September 2026

Merge Pets ("the app", "we", "us") is a merge game for all ages, published by NRO Dev on Google Play and the Apple App Store. We built Merge Pets to work offline and to collect as little data as possible. This policy explains what data the app handles and why. It applies to the app on both Android and iOS.

The short version

• We do not collect any personal information. Merge Pets has no accounts, no sign-in, no cloud backup, no chat and no analytics of its own.
• Your game progress is saved only on your device. We have no server, and we never receive or store your progress.
• The app has no purchases of any kind. It is free, and the in-game Gem Shop only uses gems earned in the game.
• The only third-party service is Google AdMob. It shows optional rewarded video ads, and every ad request is child-directed and non-personalised.
• We never sell data, and we do not track you across other companies' apps or websites.

Data stored on your device

Your pets, coins, gems, levels and settings are stored locally on your device so the game can pick up where you left off. This data never leaves your device through us. Uninstalling the app deletes it. We cannot recover it, because we never had a copy.

Advertising (Google AdMob)

Merge Pets offers optional rewarded video ads. For example, you can watch a short video to double the coins your pets earned while you were away. Ads only play when you tap a button to watch one. There are no banner ads or pop-up ads, and ads never interrupt play.

• Every ad request is marked child-directed (treated under COPPA rules and as under the age of consent) and asks for non-personalised, G-rated ads only. Ads are not based on a profile of you or your interests.
• To show ads, limit how often the same ad appears, measure ad performance and prevent fraud, Google's Mobile Ads SDK may process limited data. This can include a device or advertising identifier, your IP address, approximate (coarse) location based on it, information about your interactions with ads, and crash and performance diagnostics. Google does not link this data to your identity for us, and we do not receive it.
• Where the law requires it (for example, in the UK and EEA), the app shows Google's consent message before any ads load.
• On iOS, Merge Pets does not ask for App Tracking Transparency permission and does not track you.

Google's handling of this data is described in How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services and the Google Privacy Policy.

Notifications

Reminders (for example, "your expedition team is back") are off by default. If you turn them on in Settings, they are scheduled locally on your device. We use no push-notification server, and no data is sent to us.

Children's privacy

Merge Pets is designed to be safe for children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone, including children under 13 (or the relevant age in your country). The app has no accounts, chat, user-generated content or external links during play. All ads are child-directed, non-personalised and G-rated. If you have any concern about a child's data, please contact us at the address below.

Your choices

• You never have to watch an ad. Every ad is optional.
• You can reset your advertising identifier or limit ad tracking in your device settings (Android: Settings › Google › Ads; iOS: Settings › Privacy & Security).
• You can turn notifications on or off in the game's Settings or in your device settings.
• Uninstall the app to delete all game data from your device.

Data retention and deletion

We hold no data about you, so there is nothing for us to keep or delete. Game data stays on your device until you uninstall the app. Data processed by Google for ads is kept under Google's own retention policies.

Changes to this policy

If we change this policy, we will update it here and change the effective date above. We will make material changes here before they take effect.
