Privacy Policy

1. Overview

This Privacy Policy explains how How to Fish Companion handles information when you use the mobile app and this website. The app is an independently developed unofficial companion guide for How to Fish.

2. Local app data

The app may store Fish Coins, XP, quiz results, Fishpedia discoveries, selected characters, unlocks, favorites, progression and settings locally on your device. This information is used to provide app functionality.

3. Google AdMob / Google Mobile Ads

The mobile app may display banner, native and interstitial advertisements using Google AdMob / Google Mobile Ads. Google and its advertising partners may process information such as device identifiers, IP address, device information, approximate location derived from IP address, ad interactions, diagnostics and other data needed to deliver, measure, personalize where permitted, and protect advertisements.

Where required by law, region or Google policy, the app may present a consent or privacy-choice message before requesting personalized ads. The released app is intended to use Google's supported consent-management tools.

You can learn more through Google's Privacy Policy and Google's information about how data is used by apps that use Google services:

• Google Privacy Policy
• How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services

Important: Fish Coins, XP and quiz rewards are virtual companion-app progression only. They have no cash value and are not real-money rewards.

4. Remote configuration

The app may retrieve remote configuration from services such as GitHub or a content delivery network. This is used for settings such as advertising availability, ad placement, maintenance mode and app-update rules. A last-known valid configuration may be cached locally.

5. App updates

The app may check remote configuration to determine whether a newer version is recommended or required. If an update is mandatory, you may be directed to an external app-store or download page.

6. Third-party services

Third-party providers such as Google may process data under their own privacy policies and terms. We do not control the privacy practices of independent third-party services.

7. Children

The app is not intended to knowingly collect personal information directly from children. Advertising configuration and consent behavior should be set in accordance with the intended audience, applicable law, app-store rules and Google advertising requirements before public release.

8. Sale of personal information

We do not sell personal information. Advertising providers may process information necessary to provide advertising, fraud prevention, measurement and related services under their own terms.

9. Security and retention

Local app progress normally remains on your device until you clear app data or uninstall the app. Cached remote configuration may also remain on the device for reliability.

10. Game assets and attribution

How to Fish game assets are the property of Dazed Games and are used in this companion application with permission. This application and website are independently developed and are not the official How to Fish game.

11. Changes

This policy may be updated when app features, advertising providers, legal requirements or data practices change. The “Last updated” date will be revised when appropriate.

12. Contact

For privacy questions, use the developer support contact published on the official app-store listing or the support contact provided with the released application.
