Privacy Policy — GoWai Gaming

Last updated: 19 October 2026

GoWai Gaming is based in the United Kingdom. This policy explains how information is handled in our apps and games, including Dog Fetch Frenzy, Conduit and Stroll The Strange, and when you contact us for support.

Our products have different features. The sections about advertising, purchases, online rankings or Google Play Games apply only to products and versions that include those features. You do not need to register a separate GoWai account or give us your real name, email address or phone number simply to play.

1. Information on your device

An app may save settings, advertising choices, progress, scores, initials, selected items, inventory, purchase entitlements, pending score submissions and information needed to continue a session. Products such as timers may save their timer state and preferences.

This information is normally stored on your device. Clearing the app's storage or uninstalling may remove it. Android backup or restore settings can affect which local information is restored later. Removing local data does not delete records already held by Google, Unity or advertising providers.

2. Player sign-in and recovery

Games with online rankings use Unity Gaming Services Authentication to identify a player. Older versions may use an anonymous, pseudonymous player identifier saved on the device.

Where Google Play Games sign-in is supported, the game can use your Play Games identity to sign in to, or link, your Unity player record. Google and Unity exchange authentication information, including a Play Games player identifier and an authorisation code, to establish that connection. Authentication credentials or session information may also be stored locally so the game can recognise you again.

The purpose is to keep your game identity and associated online records connected when you return, change devices or reinstall. Recovery depends on the account having been linked successfully and signing in with the same supported account. An older anonymous identity that was lost before linking may not be recoverable.

This sign-in does not give GoWai access to your Google password or email inbox. We do not use it to read your contacts or personal files. Recovering a leaderboard identity does not mean that every locally saved item or part of your game progress is backed up online.

Google's Play Games services may also process gamer-profile information, service activity and SDK diagnostics under Google's policies and your Google settings.

3. Scores and public leaderboards

When the game submits a score, Unity may receive the player identifier, score, ranking category and public player label. Depending on the game and version, the submission can also contain the app version, platform or build information, submission type, leaderboard period, submission time and related score information.

Some games use player-chosen arcade initials. Others assign a game name automatically. These labels are public and may not be unique. They do not need to be your real name, and the game label may differ from your Google Play Games profile name.

Other players may see your game label or initials, score, rank and, where supported, a broad country or region code. GoWai's leaderboard screens do not display your underlying authentication identifiers or sign-in credentials.

A displayed country or region code may come from the device's locale or region settings. The game does not use GPS or a separate IP-location lookup to choose that ranking label. Online providers still receive connection information, such as an IP address, when operating their services.

We use ranking information to display scores, associate them with the correct player, investigate problems and maintain leaderboard integrity. Submission metadata is not a recording of an entire play session. Older entries may lack information collected by newer versions.

Daily and All-Time boards have different retention and reset rules. An All-Time record can remain in the service even after it is no longer visible among the leading scores.

4. Advertising and your choice

Advertising-supported games use Unity LevelPlay with ironSource Ads and Unity Ads.

In versions with our first-launch advertising choice, you must choose Agree or Decline before gameplay starts or resumes. Both options allow you to play. Agree permits personalised advertising. Decline selects non-personalised advertising. The choice is saved on the device and can be changed through Privacy choices in the game's Settings. An updated disclosure may require a new choice.

Declining personalisation does not switch off all advertising or all information processing by advertising services. Those services may still process information needed to deliver contextual ads, prevent fraud, measure delivery and operate securely.

Depending on your choice and device settings, advertising providers may process advertising or device identifiers, IP address, approximate location, device and operating-system details, ad impressions, interactions and diagnostics. Personalised advertising may use information to select ads relevant to you. We do not sell your personal information.

Android also provides advertising-identifier and privacy controls. An ad-removal purchase removes the advertisements specified by that product; optional rewarded ads may remain available when you choose to watch one for an in-game benefit.

5. Purchases

Google Play handles payments. GoWai does not receive your payment-card or bank details. The game and its purchasing services may process receipts, product identifiers and transaction or entitlement information to deliver purchases, verify ownership, restore eligible items and resolve errors. Payment records are also subject to Google's policies and retention obligations.

6. Technical information and service providers

We use Google and Unity services for distribution, sign-in, authentication, purchases, advertising and rankings where applicable. These providers may process network, device, service-use and diagnostic information needed to supply and improve their services.

GoWai does not operate a general tracking or profiling service across all of its products. A product that operates entirely locally does not send ordinary app activity to GoWai simply because you use it.

7. Purposes and legal grounds

We process information to provide app features, maintain player identity, display rankings, supply purchases and advertising, keep services secure, answer support requests and meet legal requirements.

Where data-protection law requires a legal basis, we rely on providing a service you request, our legitimate interests in running and protecting our products where those interests do not override your rights, consent where required, or a legal obligation. You can change your advertising personalisation choice in Settings. Changing a choice does not affect processing that was lawful before the change.

Google, Unity and advertising providers may also have responsibilities for processing they undertake independently.

8. Retention and deletion

Local information remains until it is removed by the app, device settings, uninstalling or the applicable backup process. Cloud player identities and leaderboard records can remain separately from local data and from each other. We retain them while needed for the relevant feature, account continuity, security or legal purposes, unless deleted earlier through an applicable request or retention rule.

Uninstalling, clearing app storage, signing out or removing a Google connection does not by itself delete Unity authentication or leaderboard records. Deleting Play Games information through Google does not necessarily delete a separate Unity record.

To request access, correction or deletion of GoWai-controlled player or leaderboard information, email support@gowaigaming.com. Tell us which game is involved. We may need further information to locate the correct record and verify the request; public initials alone may not identify a unique player. Please do not send passwords or authentication codes.

Data held independently by Google, Unity or advertising providers may require a request through that provider's privacy controls. Support correspondence is retained for as long as reasonably needed to handle the matter, keep appropriate records or meet legal requirements.

9. Your rights

Depending on your location and the circumstances, you may have rights to access, correct, erase or receive a copy of your personal information, restrict processing, object to processing or withdraw consent. Contact support@gowaigaming.com to make a request. Some rights have legal limits.

You may complain to your local data-protection authority. In the United Kingdom, this is the Information Commissioner's Office: https://ico.org.uk/make-a-complaint/.

10. Children

Our general-audience games are not presented as services specifically for children unless a product states otherwise. If you have concerns about a child's information, contact us so we can investigate and explain the relevant removal options. A product with different age-related requirements will provide the applicable information and controls.

11. Security and international processing

We use the security measures available through our platforms and service providers, including protected connections for online services. No system can guarantee absolute security. Local data also depends on the security of your device and any backups.

Google, Unity and advertising providers may process information outside the United Kingdom. Where required, appropriate contractual or other recognised safeguards apply to international transfers.

12. Updates and contact

We will revise this policy when relevant features, providers or processing change and update the date above. Where required, a product will provide an additional notice or request a new choice before changed processing begins.
