Privacy Policy — Kitchen Tempo

Kitchen Tempo: Cooking Games (Android, package com.kausarstudio.kitchentempo)
Developer: Kausar Studio · Contact: support@kausarstudio.com

In short: the game has no accounts, and we (Kausar Studio) do not collect, receive or sell any of your personal data. Your game progress stays on your device. The game is made for players of all ages, including children. To show ads, the game uses Google AdMob, which collects some device and usage data as described below. Players who say they are under 13 only get ads that follow Google's rules for children, with no personalized advertising.

Information stored by the game on your device

The game saves the following only on your device, so you can continue where you left off:

Game progress: unlocked restaurants and levels, stars, coins and upgrades.
Settings: sound, music, your age group from the age question (child, teen or adult; the exact age is not stored), whether you chose "Don't show again" on the Privacy & Terms screen, and whether the first-time tutorial is finished.

This information never leaves your device through the game and is not sent to us. Uninstalling the game, or clearing its storage in Android Settings, deletes it.

The age question

The first time you play, the game asks how old you are, without suggesting an answer. No ads are requested before you answer it and agree to this policy and the Terms of Service. The answer only decides how ads are requested:

Under 13: every ad request is tagged as directed to children (Google AdMob "child-directed treatment"). With this tag the Google Mobile Ads SDK does not send the Android advertising ID, ads are not personalized, and ad content is limited to ratings suitable for all ages (G).
13 to 15: ad requests are tagged as coming from a user under the age of consent (as defined, for example, in the European Economic Area), and ad content is limited to rating PG.
16 and over: ad content is limited to rating PG.

The age answer cannot be changed later inside the game; clearing the game's storage asks the question again.

Advertising (Google AdMob)

The game shows two kinds of ads provided by Google AdMob (Google LLC):

A full-screen ad after finishing level 10 and level 20 of a restaurant. A short notice counts down for 3 seconds first, so the ad never appears by surprise.
An optional "Watch ad" button on the results screen, at most once every 3 levels. Watching the whole ad doubles the coins of that level. You never have to watch it.

To serve and measure ads, Google's Mobile Ads SDK automatically collects and shares with Google:

Data	What it is	Why
Approximate location	Your device's IP address, which can be used to estimate a general location	Advertising, analytics, fraud prevention
Device or other identifiers	The Android advertising ID, app set ID and, where applicable, identifiers related to accounts signed in on the device. For players who said they are under 13, the advertising ID is not sent	Advertising, analytics, fraud prevention
App interactions	App launches, taps and ad views	Advertising, analytics, fraud prevention
Diagnostics	Performance information about the game and the SDK, such as launch time, hang rate and energy usage	Analytics, fraud prevention

This data is encrypted in transit (TLS) and is processed by Google, not by us; we do not receive it. Ads are selected by Google, not by us. Learn how Google uses this information: How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services and the Google Privacy Policy.

If you are in a region where consent is required, a consent message from Google's User Messaging Platform appears after you agree to these documents, before any ad is requested. You can accept, decline or manage your choices; declining does not stop you from playing. You can change your choice at any time in Settings > Privacy options (the button appears when it applies to your region). Your consent choice is stored on your device.

Your choices

Read this policy in the game at any time: Settings > Privacy & Terms. It works offline.
Advertising ID: you can reset or delete your advertising ID in Android Settings (Privacy > Ads, or Google > Ads, depending on your device).
Personalized ads: where consent applies, use Settings > Privacy options in the game. You can also manage ad settings at My Ad Center.
Play offline: the game is fully playable without an internet connection; no ads are loaded while you are offline.
Delete your data: uninstall the game or clear its storage to remove all data kept on your device. For data held by Google, use Google's tools linked above.

Children

Kitchen Tempo is made for everyone, including children, and follows Google Play's Families policy. We do not collect personal information from anyone, including children: the game has no accounts, no chat, no in-app purchases and no way to share personal information. Ads come only from Google AdMob, a Google Play Families self-certified ads SDK. For players who said they are under 13, ad requests are tagged as child-directed: the advertising ID is not sent, ads are not personalized and ad content is limited to rating G. Parents or guardians with questions, or who believe a child's data was collected, can contact us at the address below and we will help.

We do not keep, sell or share any personal data, because the game does not send personal data to us. The data on your device stays until you uninstall the game or clear its storage. Data collected by Google AdMob is kept, deleted and protected by Google under its policies. The game itself does not use analytics, does not have accounts and does not offer in-app purchases.

Your rights

Depending on where you live (for example under the GDPR, the UK GDPR, Indonesia's Personal Data Protection Law (UU PDP), COPPA, or US state privacy laws such as the CCPA/CPRA), you may have rights to access, correct, delete or object to the processing of your personal data, and to opt out of personalized advertising. Because we do not hold your personal data, these requests are handled through the choices above and through Google for advertising data. You are welcome to contact us with any question.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy, for example when the game adds new features. The effective date at the top shows the latest version. Significant changes will also be mentioned in the game's update notes.
