The Yarn Kittens game
Yarn Kittens plays offline and does not require an account. Your progress (levels, coins, pictures, decorations and settings) is saved only on your device and is deleted if you uninstall the game. The game has no ads and no in-app purchases.
- Analytics (Google Firebase Analytics). We collect how the game is used: a level started, completed or failed (with the level number, the time taken, the stars and the color chains), a picture hung in the room, a decoration bought and the tutorial completed, plus events that Firebase records automatically (such as first open, session start and app updates). These come with an app instance ID, your device's advertising ID, device and app information (such as model, Android version and language) and approximate country. We use them to understand which levels are too easy or too hard and to improve the game. Retention: up to 14 months.
- Install measurement (Meta SDK). The game includes the Meta SDK, which tells Meta that the app was installed and opened (app events), together with your device's advertising ID, so we can measure our ads on Facebook and Instagram. You can reset or delete the advertising ID in your device settings.
The legal bases are our legitimate interest in running and improving the game (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) and, where required, your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR).
Who receives the data
Our hosting provider, Google (Firebase) and Meta (Meta SDK) as service providers. Google and Meta may process data outside the European Union under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework and the European Commission's standard contractual clauses. We do not sell your data.
Your rights
You can ask to access, correct or delete your data, to restrict or object to its processing, and to receive it in a portable format (Articles 15–22 GDPR), by writing to support@kubino.app. You can also lodge a complaint with the Italian data protection authority, Garante per la protezione dei dati personali.
