Ynj Games LLC
Privacy policy
Effective October 22, 2026
This policy describes how Ynj Games LLC handles information in the iOS and Android versions of Auto Cats and on this support website. For privacy questions, contact ynjgamesllc@gmail.com.
The Android rewarded-ad and play-credit features described here begin with version 1.0.2 (build 9), subject to store review and rollout. Earlier Android builds allow unlimited runs without rewarded ads. The updated iPhone reward amount begins with version 1.0.2 (build 4). Your installed version determines which features are available.
Information the game uses
- Cloud account information. The game automatically creates a cloud account with a generated identifier and generated sign-in credentials. You do not need to provide your real name or email address to play. Firebase Authentication handles the account and its session, and may process technical information such as IP addresses and user-agent information to operate the service and prevent abuse.
- Progress and gameplay. The game stores saves on your device and synchronizes challenge unlock progress with the cloud account. Battle replay logs may be uploaded with the account identifier, battle identifiers, game rules, game state, and actions taken during a battle. We use this information to diagnose bugs and improve gameplay.
- Usage analytics. The game uses Google Analytics for Firebase. Information includes app and device identifiers, the cloud account identifier, app opens and sessions, app and operating-system versions, device model, approximate location derived by the service, and gameplay events such as battle starts and turns. We use these measurements to understand use of the game and improve reliability and gameplay. The updated Android version disables collection of the Android advertising identifier by Firebase Analytics; its separate ad-provider processing is described below.
- Rewarded ads and privacy choices. We use Google AdMob for optional rewarded video ads on iPhone and Android and Google's User Messaging Platform (UMP) to manage applicable privacy choices. Google may process your IP address and approximate location, device or app identifiers, ads viewed and other interactions, crash information, and performance diagnostics. On Android, ad-provider identifiers can include the advertising identifier or app set identifier when available. This information supports ad delivery, measurement, service improvement, and fraud prevention. Privacy messages and consent decisions also involve communication with Google.
- Play credits. Your daily free-run allowance, earned credits, and records that prevent the same reward or run being counted twice are stored on your device. We do not upload this credit ledger or send your Firebase account identifier as an ad reward identifier. Each installation keeps its own balance.
- Support requests. If you send a bug report, we receive the text you enter, an account identifier, a report identifier and time, and relevant diagnostics: game version, build, device model, operating system, current game screen, save-slot reference, and battle or turn information. If you email us, we receive your email address and the information you choose to send. Please do not include passwords, payment details, or other sensitive information in a bug report.
- Website and service traffic. Our hosting and service providers process network and technical information, such as IP addresses, to deliver the website and cloud services and help prevent abuse. This support website does not embed an advertising or analytics script.
Who processes information
We use Google Firebase and Google Cloud for authentication, cloud storage, challenge progress, server processing, and hosting; Google Analytics for game usage measurements; and Google AdMob and UMP for rewarded ads and privacy choices. In-game bug reports are uploaded to Firebase Storage for support review. Our email provider processes correspondence you send to our support email address. These providers process information under their applicable terms and privacy policies.
Read Firebase’s privacy information and Google’s Privacy Policy. Information may be processed in countries other than the country where you live. We may also disclose information when required by law or necessary to protect the service and its users.
Rewarded ads and your choices
You choose whether to watch a rewarded video for extra run credits. Auto Cats requests non-personalized ads. On iPhone, it does not ask for Apple's tracking permission to access the advertising identifier (IDFA). Non-personalized ads still involve data processing, including contextual ad selection, measurement, and fraud prevention; they do not mean that no information is collected.
Where Google provides a privacy message, review the choices shown before requesting an ad. When available, open Options → Privacy & Support → Ad privacy options, or use Ad privacy options in the play-credit dialog, to revisit your choices. The game requests ads only when UMP reports that it may do so. Ad availability can depend on your choices and region. Your free daily allowance and saved runs do not require watching an ad.
For more information, see how Google uses information from apps, Google's explanation of non-personalized ads, and Google Mobile Ads data disclosures for iPhone and Android.
Firebase Analytics operates separately from the rewarded-ad privacy choices. The updated mobile versions keep its advertising storage, advertising user-data, and ad-personalization consent disabled while retaining core usage analytics. On Android, you can also reset or delete the device advertising identifier through your device's advertising privacy controls. Older Android versions may collect that identifier through Analytics; see Google Analytics' Android data disclosure for its data practices.
Retention and deletion
We retain account information, synced progress, gameplay logs, and support records for operating the game, investigating problems, and responding to support requests. These records do not all have the same automatic expiration period.
To delete your account: open Options → Privacy & Support → Delete Account in Auto Cats and confirm the request.
The request covers your cloud account, synced challenge progress, uploaded battle logs, and associated support and analytics records. We complete deletion within 30 days of receiving a confirmed request. The game shows a receipt and lets you refresh the status until completion.
Submitting a deletion request stops future cloud uploads, Firebase Analytics collection, and new rewarded-ad requests on that installation. A failed or unconfirmed request can be retried in the same screen. The game does not automatically create a replacement account on that installation after a deletion request.
Your local saves are kept. Cloud account deletion does not erase saves, local play credits, or files that exist only on your device. You can remove local app data separately by deleting the app or clearing its storage through your device settings; doing so can permanently remove your progress and any earned credits.
We may retain records that we are legally required to keep and a limited record needed to document the deletion request. Provider security logs and backups may remain for the provider’s applicable retention period. If an exception applies to your request, contact us for information using the request reference shown in the game.
AdMob uses identifiers that are separate from the game's Firebase account identifier. Deleting the game account does not by itself locate or erase every advertising record held by Google. For help with an advertising privacy request, email ynjgamesllc@gmail.com and describe the request and approximate date; we can help identify the applicable provider process. You can also use the request and privacy controls described in Google's Privacy Policy. Do not send passwords or authentication tokens. Data already processed by advertising providers remains subject to their applicable retention and privacy procedures.
Your choices and requests
You can choose whether to send a bug report or email us. You can request account deletion within the game without calling or emailing support. To ask about access, correction, deletion, or another privacy right available where you live, contact ynjgamesllc@gmail.com. We may need enough information to locate the relevant records and verify that the request is yours; do not send your password.
Parents and guardians
If you believe a child has provided personal information through a support request, contact us so we can investigate and handle it appropriately. Include only the information needed to identify the request; do not send the child’s password or other sensitive information.
Changes
We may update this policy as the game or services change. The effective date above identifies the current version. Material changes will be reflected here and, where appropriate, communicated in the game.
