Privacy Policy

Go Pookie Go! · Last updated 13 October 2026

This policy explains what Octenda Inc ("we", "us") collects when you play Go Pookie Go! (the "Game"), why, who we share it with, and the choices you have. In short: we collect only what the Game needs to run, to keep it fair, to take payments through Apple, and to show optional ads. We do not sell your personal information.

1. Who we are

Octenda Inc, c/o Arthwave Technologies Pvt. Ltd., Bangalore, India. Contact: support@octenda.com.

2. What we collect

Data	Details	Why
Account identifiers	A random player ID and a random device/installation ID created by the Game; session information. If you choose "Sign in with Apple" we receive Apple's identifier for you (we do not ask for your email address or name).	To run your account, restore it on a new device, and keep your session secure.
Game data	Your progress, items, currencies, settings and the results of the battles you play.	To provide the Game. Results are checked on our servers to keep play fair.
Purchases	Apple's transaction identifiers, the product bought and its status (including refunds). We never receive your card or payment details; Apple handles payment.	To deliver what you bought, restore purchases, and handle refunds.
Name, avatar and chat	The player name and avatar you choose, and messages you send in world chat. Your name, avatar, rank and country may appear on leaderboards and in multiplayer features.	To provide social features, moderation and safety.
Approximate location	Your country, worked out from your network connection when you connect. We do not store your IP address in the Game's database.	Country leaderboards and rewards.
Device and diagnostics	App version and build, platform, time zone offset, connection and session activity, and integrity signals (for example Apple App Attest results) used to detect cheating and tampering.	Security, anti-cheat, fraud prevention and fixing problems.
Advertising	If you watch optional rewarded ads, Google AdMob processes ad-related data on our behalf and as its own controller, which may include your device's advertising identifier if you allow tracking, and ad interaction data. We also receive an Apple Search Ads attribution token, which tells us which campaign led to an install; it does not identify you.	To show ads you ask for and to measure our own advertising.

The Game does not use push-notification tokens: reminders are scheduled on your device (local notifications) and you control them in iOS Settings.

3. How we use information

To process purchases and refunds and to prevent fraud.
To detect cheating, abuse and security problems, and to moderate chat.

To respond to your requests and to meet legal obligations.

Where privacy law requires a legal basis, we rely on performing our contract with you (running the Game), our legitimate interests (security, fairness, improving the Game), your consent (for example tracking permission for ads, where you give it), and legal obligations.

4. Who we share it with
