Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 2026

1. On-Device Processing

StrayDex runs cat detection, background removal, and card generation entirely on your device. Your photos are never uploaded to a server. Only the generated card image and a downscaled copy of the photo are saved, stored locally on your device alongside the rest of your save data. The game is fully playable offline.

2. Information We Collect

We use PostHog to collect anonymous gameplay analytics: a single event per catch attempt covering things like which stage you reached, how long it took, and whether the encounter was completed, along with standard device information such as device model, operating system version, and app version. When you choose to watch a rewarded ad, Google AdMob may collect advertising identifiers and device data to serve and measure that ad. We do not collect your name, email address, or any other information that directly identifies you, and StrayDex has no account or sign-up system.

3. How We Use Information

Analytics data helps us understand how the catch mini-game and progression feel in practice, diagnose bugs and crashes, and tune gameplay balance through remote configuration. Advertising data is used by Google AdMob to serve and measure the rewarded ads you choose to watch, which may include personalizing ads based on your device's advertising identifier. We do not sell your information for money, but under some state privacy laws, such as California's, sharing data with an ad partner like AdMob for advertising purposes can itself be considered a "sale" or "share" of information. See "Your Choices & Rights" below for how to opt out.

4. Third-Party Services

StrayDex uses the following third-party services: PostHog for analytics and remote configuration (see PostHog's privacy policy at posthog.com/privacy), and Google AdMob for rewarded advertising (see Google's privacy policy at policies.google.com/privacy). These providers may process data on servers located outside your country.

5. Your Choices & Rights

On iOS, StrayDex asks for your permission via Apple's App Tracking Transparency prompt before any advertising identifier is used for tracking. Depending on your region, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete information collected about you, and to opt out of certain data processing, including GDPR rights in the EU/UK and CCPA/CPRA rights in California. This includes the right for California residents to opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information; since our use of AdMob for advertising may qualify, you can opt out at any time by limiting ad tracking or resetting your advertising identifier in your device's settings, or by contacting us below. Because almost all game data (your cats, cards, and progress) lives only on your device, uninstalling StrayDex also removes it. To exercise these rights or ask a question, contact us using the details below.

6. Children's Privacy

StrayDex is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with information, please contact us and we will delete it.
