Privacy Policy

Grandma’s Kitchen Panic · Android package / iOS bundle: com.grandmaskitchenpanic.game
Updated: 31 October 2026 · Developer: DMA Studios
Privacy contact: dmastudios.contact@gmail.com

This policy covers Android and iOS versions, including test builds, of the existing paid game and ad-supported game. Advertising and purchase sections apply only to versions that include those features. Earlier paid versions without advertising SDKs do not acquire advertising features merely because this policy changes.

1. The game and local information

DMA Studios makes this nostalgic handheld-style arcade game for teens and adults aged 13 and older. You do not need a game account. High scores, settings and gameplay progress are stored on your device. The game does not upload these to a DMA Studios game server and does not include a separate analytics or cloud-save service.

Ad-supported versions ask for an age group, not a date of birth. The selected group is stored locally to choose appropriate advertising and privacy treatment. We do not send your birthday or exact age to an advertising provider. The relevant privacy-treatment signals are passed to Google. An ad-free entitlement may also be cached locally.

2. Advertising and privacy choices

Ad-supported versions use Google AdMob (Google Mobile Ads SDK) to show interstitial ads at breaks after gameplay, not during an active round. Google’s User Messaging Platform (UMP) manages applicable consent choices. Ad availability is not guaranteed.

For players selecting a group below 18, or choosing not to state their age, the game requests restricted, non-personalized advertising using child-directed and under-age-of-consent treatment and a general-audience creative rating. It does not request personalized advertising for these players. Restricted advertising is not the same as no data processing: technical data can still be needed to deliver ads and prevent fraud.

For adults, Google determines applicable consent requirements. Where required, you can consent, refuse or manage individual purposes and providers before ads are requested. Android personalized ads are subject to applicable consent choices. The iOS version requests non-personalized ads for all age groups, does not request App Tracking Transparency authorization, and does not request access to Apple's advertising identifier (IDFA). Before initializing ads, the iOS version disables Google's publisher first-party identifier and applies Publisher Privacy Treatment with personalization disabled. If this configuration cannot be applied, the game keeps ads disabled. Non-personalized advertising can still process technical information for delivery, measurement and fraud prevention; refusing personalization does not necessarily remove all advertising. The game does not treat a consent refusal as permission to personalize ads.

Use Pause → Privacy to open this policy, change your age group, or reopen Google’s ad-consent choices when available. An age-group change stops further ads in that session and takes effect after closing and reopening the game. This prevents an ad cached under the old preference from being shown. No age group is preselected on first launch.

3. Information processed by advertising services

Depending on age treatment, consent, region and SDK configuration, Google and eligible advertising providers may process:

These support advertising delivery and measurement, operation of the service, security and fraud prevention. The game does not request GPS/location permission or provide precise location, contacts, photos or microphone data to advertisers. Restricted treatment limits identifiers and personalization; it is not a claim that Google receives no information.

See Google’s Privacy Policy, how Google uses information from partner apps and Google’s age-treatment explanation. Google’s consent interface identifies the applicable advertising partners and purposes. No third-party mediation network SDK is included in this version.

4. Purchases

Where offered, a one-time Remove Ads purchase removes automatic interstitial ad breaks. On Android, Google Play processes payment and maintains purchase records under its policies; on iOS, Apple's App Store and StoreKit provide those services under Apple's policies. Purchases are tied to the platform account used for the purchase. Android and iOS purchases do not transfer between stores. DMA Studios does not receive your card details. The app queries purchase status and processes product identifiers and verified store transactions to provide and restore the entitlement. Android uses Google Play purchase tokens and acknowledgement status; iOS verifies signed StoreKit transactions on the device. An ad-free entitlement is cached locally. Use Restore Purchases in the purchase dialog with the original store account. Removing ads does not erase records already held by Google or your privacy choices.

5. Support and store services

If you email us, we receive your email address, message and any information or attachments you choose to send. We use them to answer your request and resolve problems. Please avoid sending sensitive information or information about children. Google Play and Apple may separately process installation, payment, review, diagnostic and store information under their respective policies. The Android version may offer Google Play's in-app review interface. See Apple's Privacy Policy for Apple's services.

6. Purposes, rights and retention

Where applicable law requires a legal basis, consent is used for consent-dependent advertising processing; providing the requested game, purchases and support can involve performance of a contract; service security and fraud prevention can involve legitimate interests; and some records may be kept to meet legal obligations. Advertising providers describe their own purposes and legal bases in their notices and the consent interface.

Local preferences remain until changed or removed with the app’s data. Clearing app data also deletes local scores and settings. Google Play and Apple may retain purchase records independently, allowing eligible purchases to be restored in the corresponding store. Support messages are retained while needed to resolve the request, handle follow-up or meet applicable obligations. Google and advertising providers determine retention of data they hold under their own policies; uninstalling the game does not automatically delete those records.

Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict or obtain a copy of your data, object to processing, and withdraw consent without affecting the lawfulness of earlier processing. Contact us at the email above for information held by DMA Studios. Use Google’s privacy controls or contact the relevant provider for information it holds. You may also complain to your local data-protection authority.

7. Younger players and security

The game is not marketed to children under 13. If a player indicates an age below 13 or does not give an age, the conservative advertising treatment described above applies. We do not knowingly request personalized ads for such players. A parent or guardian can contact us about a privacy concern.

Google documents encryption in transit for Mobile Ads SDK data. No system can guarantee absolute security. Providers may process data outside your country; see their privacy policies for international-transfer safeguards and protections.

8. Website and policy updates

This website is hosted by GitHub Pages and uses no analytics scripts or cookies of its own. Hosting providers may process technical access logs. See GitHub’s Privacy Statement. External links are governed by their providers’ policies.

We may revise this policy when the game or its services change. The updated date appears above. Material changes requiring renewed consent will be handled through the appropriate consent flow.
