Privacy Policy for Kitchen Rush
Effective Date: September 3, 2026
Last Updated: September 3, 2026
1. Introduction
Welcome to Kitchen Rush, a fast-paced culinary time-management strategy game developed using the Flutter framework and distributed via the Google Play Store.
We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting the data of our players. This Privacy Policy explains how Kitchen Rush handles information when you install, play, or make purchases within the application on Android devices.
By downloading or playing Kitchen Rush, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
2. Information We Do NOT Collect (No Account / No Sign-In)
Kitchen Rush is designed for immediate, hassle-free gameplay.
- No User Registration: We do not require you to create an account, log in, or provide any personal credentials (such as email address, full name, phone number, or social media logins).
- No Personally Identifiable Information (PII): We do not directly solicit, collect, or store personal identifiers like your real name, physical address, contact list, or precise GPS location.
3. Data Stored Locally on Your Device
To save your game progress and preferences, Kitchen Rush stores small data files directly on your Android device using local key-value storage (SharedPreferences).
What is saved locally:
- Gameplay Progression: Highest unlocked level (Levels 1–20), star achievements (1–3 stars per level), and high scores per level.
- Game Preferences: Background Music (BGM) toggle state, Sound Effects (SFX) toggle state, and interactive tutorial completion flags.
How local data is managed:
- This data is stored strictly on your local device and is never uploaded to external servers managed by us.
- Clearing your app cache/data via Android Settings (Settings > Apps > Kitchen Rush > Storage > Clear Data) or uninstalling the app will permanently erase your saved progress.
4. Third-Party SDKs & Network Services
While we do not directly collect personal data, Kitchen Rush integrates official Google SDKs to provide advertisements and manage in-app billing. These services may collect device-level identifiers in compliance with Google Play Developer Policies.
A. Google AdMob (Advertisements)
Kitchen Rush uses Google AdMob to show interstitial ads between level transitions and opt-in rewarded video ads (e.g., granting +60 seconds of extra time upon level defeat).
- Data Collected by AdMob: Android Advertising ID (GAID), device IP address, coarse (non-precise) location data, app performance metrics, and crash/diagnostic logs.
- Purpose: Serves contextual or personalized advertisements, frequency capping, and ad fraud prevention.
- Privacy Policy: You can review Google’s Privacy Policy at https://policies.google.com/privacy.
B. Google Play Billing (In-App Purchases)
Kitchen Rush offers an optional “No Ads” purchase to remove interstitial advertisements, managed via the standard Android in_app_purchase Google Play Billing framework.
- Financial Data Security: All financial transactions, credit card handling, and payment processing are managed 100% by Google Play. We never view, collect, or store your payment card or banking details.
- Receipt Check: The app queries Google Play Store APIs locally on your device to verify whether your account holds an active “No Ads” entitlement.
5. Google Play Families Policy & Children’s Privacy
Kitchen Rush is a family-friendly game suitable for general audiences.
- COPPA & GDPR Compliance: We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 years of age.
- Child-Directed Ad Configurations: AdMob ad requests within Kitchen Rush are configured to comply with Google Play Developer Program Policies regarding child safety and family suitability.
- Parental Controls: Parents and guardians can manage or restrict in-app purchases and ad personalization directly through Google Play Store settings and Android system settings.
6. Managing Your Data & Opt-Out Choices
- Resetting Local Data: You can reset all saved progress at any time by navigating on your Android device to:
Settings > Apps > Kitchen Rush > Storage > Clear Storage / Clear Data - Opting Out of Personalized Ads (Android):
You can reset or delete your Android Advertising ID at any time by going to:
Settings > Google > Ads > Reset Advertising ID or Delete Advertising ID
7. App Permissions Requested
Kitchen Rush requests the minimum necessary permissions required by Android:
- INTERNET & ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE: Required exclusively to fetch AdMob advertisements and process Google Play Store billing checks.
No access to Camera, Microphone, Fine Location, Contacts, Read/Write External Storage, or Phone State is requested or required.
8. Data Security
Local game data is protected within Android’s app sandbox environment. All network traffic generated by third-party SDKs (AdMob and Google Play Billing) is encrypted in transit using standard HTTPS/TLS protocols.
9. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to align with new app features, legal obligations, or updates to Google Play Developer Policies. Any revisions will be published with an updated “Last Updated” date.
