The app’s basic approach
Pati Kafe has no account creation, chat, in-app purchases, precise location collection, or analytics system operated by Cerit Apps. Game progress is stored on the device.
Advertising
From version 0.5.2, Pati Kafe uses two ad formats served through Google Mobile Ads SDK 25.4.0; version 0.5.1 shows no ads.
- Banner: appears in a separate strip labelled “Ad” at the very bottom of the screen. In each five-minute cycle of active play it is shown for two minutes and hidden for three. The game area sits above this strip, so the banner never covers game buttons or content.
- Interstitial: a full-screen ad shown at natural breaks, such as when an activity finishes or a panel closes, at most once per two minutes of active play. It contains images and text only, no video; it never opens while a child is touching the screen or in the middle of an activity, and it can be closed. The game pauses while the ad is open.
The app does not use app-open ads or rewarded ads.
All users are treated as children. Before the advertising SDK starts, child-directed treatment is applied, content rating is limited to G at most, and ad personalisation is disabled. The publisher first-party identifier is also disabled before the first ad request.
Data the Google advertising SDK may process
According to Google’s Mobile Ads SDK disclosure, the following information may be collected or shared automatically to serve and measure ads, prevent fraud, and provide diagnostics:
- IP address, which may be used to estimate general location.
- App and product interactions, such as ad impressions.
- Crash logs, performance data, and other diagnostic information.
- Device or account-related identifiers, such as the App Set ID.
Network communication between the advertising SDK and Google services is encrypted in transit using HTTPS/TLS. Storage, security, and deletion practices in Google’s own systems are governed by Google’s policies.
The Android advertising identifier (AD_ID) and Privacy Sandbox ad ID, attribution, and topics permissions have been removed from the app. Removing these permissions does not mean that the Google SDK never processes other data, such as an IP address or App Set ID.
Game data stored on the device
Paw coins, diamonds, progress, unlocked content, decoration and outfit choices, activity designs, and settings are stored in the local game save on the device. Cerit Apps does not upload these records to its own server. The local save is deleted when the app data is cleared or the app is uninstalled.
Retention, deletion, and third parties
Google’s retention and deletion practices for advertising data are governed by Google’s own policies. Support emails sent to Cerit Apps are kept only for as long as needed to answer the request and complete any necessary follow-up. A parent or guardian may request deletion of support correspondence by email.
Hosting of this website
This static website is hosted on infrastructure used by Cerit Apps and uses Cloudflare security and proxy services. The site uses no analytics code or cookies. Hosting and security infrastructure may process limited technical log information such as the visitor’s IP address, browser information, and request time to provide the service and prevent abuse. This processing is separate from the Google Mobile Ads SDK data processing in the app. See the Cloudflare Privacy Policy for details.
Children and parents
Pati Kafe is available on Google Play in many countries and regions, including the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom, Switzerland, and Türkiye. The child-directed advertising settings described above apply in every country: all users are treated as children, no personalised ads or remarketing are used, and ad content is limited to a G rating at most.
The app does not show children an adult consent screen and does not ask children for personal information. Parents and guardians may contact us about this policy or their child’s use of the app.
Your rights
Cerit Apps does not keep personal data about app users on its own servers; the only data we hold is support email sent to us. A parent or guardian may request access to, correction of, or deletion of that correspondence by writing to [email protected]. Data processed by Google for advertising is covered by Google’s privacy tools and policies. Residents of the EEA, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland may also contact their local data protection authority, and residents of Türkiye may contact the Personal Data Protection Authority (KVKK).
