Effective September 1, 2026
The short version: Catnip Arcade collects nothing. No accounts, no analytics, no ads, no tracking. Nothing you do in the app is sent to us, and we run no servers at all. If you use iCloud or Game Center, Apple carries your progress between your own devices, and even then we never see it.
Your settings, scores, badges, and CatCoin balance are saved in the app's local storage on your device, and deleting the app deletes them. Two features hand some of that to Apple on your behalf, both described below: iCloud, which mirrors your progress so it survives a reinstall, and Game Center. It goes nowhere else, and none of it comes to us.
CatCoin purchases are handled entirely by Apple through the App Store. Apple processes the payment and shares no payment details with us. Your purchase history for this app is managed by Apple under your Apple Account.
If you are signed in to iCloud, your progress is mirrored into your own iCloud so that reinstalling the app, or picking it up on a second device, does not start you over. What travels is your CatCoin balance, the badges you have earned, your records, and the fur you have chosen. It is stored under your Apple Account and managed by Apple under Apple's own privacy policy. We never receive it, and we run no servers of our own. If you are not signed in to iCloud, all of it stays on your device.
The app supports Game Center, and using it is entirely your choice. If you are signed in, the badges you earn and your best scores are reported to Apple's Game Center under your Apple Account, so they can appear in your Game Center profile and on the app's leaderboards. The app also reads your earned badges back from Game Center, so progress you made on one device appears on another.
Apple manages all of that under Apple's own privacy policy. We never receive it, and we run no servers of our own. If you decline to sign in, nothing is sent anywhere and your badges and scores simply stay on your device.
The app collects no data from anyone, including children.
If a future update ever changes any of this, this page will be updated first and the change will be called out in the App Store release notes.
