Privacy Policy — Shih Tzu Paths

Updated on November 6, 2026.

1. Who we are

Shih Tzu Paths is a puzzle game for mobile phones, published by Tatubola Games (“we”). This policy explains which data the game handles, what for, who it is shared with and what you can do. For anything about privacy, write to contato@tatubolagames.com.

2. Summary

  • The game has no account, sign-up or login. We do not ask for your name, email, phone number or location.
  • Your progress and settings stay on your device only.
  • The game is free and shows ads from Google AdMob, set up as ads for children and not personalized.
  • An optional one-time purchase removes the ads. Payment is made on the App Store or Google Play, and the purchase is recognized by RevenueCat.
  • We use no usage analytics, crash reports, leaderboards or social networks.

3. Data that stays on your device

The game keeps on the device itself the levels you finished and the stars, the last level opened, the language, the sound, the theme, whether you have seen “How to play”, whether the ads were removed, and the count of levels used to space the ads. This data is not sent to us. Deleting the app deletes all of it.

4. Ads (Google AdMob)

The game shows ads from Google AdMob: a banner under the board and, once in a while, a full-screen ad after a level. Because children may play, we ask for the ads this way:

  • as content directed to children, with no interest-based ads and no remarketing;
  • not personalized;
  • only ads rated “G” (for general audiences) at most;
  • without using the advertising identifier of the device: on iPhone the game does not ask for the tracking permission, and on Android the advertising ID permission was removed from the app.

Even so, to deliver the ad, limit its frequency, measure and prevent fraud, Google may handle technical data, such as the IP address, the device model and system version, and how the ad was used. This is done by Google, under the Google Privacy Policy (https://policies.google.com/privacy). Because personalization is off for everyone, the game does not show a consent form for personalized ads.

If you buy “Remove ads”, you see no ads, and AdMob is not even started.

5. The “Remove ads” purchase (Apple, Google and RevenueCat)

The purchase is one-time and is not a subscription. Payment is made by the App Store (Apple) or Google Play, which charge you and handle your payment data. We never see your card number.

To recognize the purchase, the game uses RevenueCat (RevenueCat, Inc.), which handles on our behalf:

  • an anonymous code, created when you first open the game, that is not linked to your name;
  • the receipt and the history of purchases of the game (product, price, currency and date);
  • the app and system versions and, through the connection, the IP address, from which RevenueCat gets the country.

We turned off the automatic collection of device identifiers in RevenueCat. The RevenueCat privacy policy is at https://www.revenuecat.com/privacy/. When you tap “Restore purchases”, the game asks the store what your account has already bought, and the purchase comes back without being charged again.

6. What we do not collect

We do not collect name, email, phone number, address, location, contacts, photos, camera, microphone or health data. We do not sell data and we do not build profiles of players.

7. Children

The game is simple and can be played by anyone, including children. We do not ask anyone for personal data, and the ads are treated as child-directed, as described above. For the purchase, we recommend that parents use the controls of the stores (for example, “Ask to Buy” on Apple and the parental controls of Google Play). If you think a child has sent us personal data, write to contato@tatubolagames.com.

8. Your rights and choices

Because we do not keep your data on our own servers, almost everything is in your hands: deleting the app deletes the game data, and you control the purchase through your store account. If you want to exercise rights under the Brazilian General Data Protection Law (LGPD) or the European regulation (GDPR), such as access, correction, deletion, portability or objection, write to contato@tatubolagames.com. Data handled by Google, Apple and RevenueCat follows their own policies. You may also complain to the data protection authority of your country, such as the ANPD in Brazil.

9. International transfers

Google, Apple and RevenueCat may handle data in other countries, including the United States, under each one’s policies.

10. Changes and contact

If this policy changes, we will publish the new version on this page, with the update date. Questions: contato@tatubolagames.com.
