Family Bakery privacy

Family Bakery: Merge & Bake is a merge game for Android and iPhone. It has no accounts, no ads and no tracking. It shares a few anonymous usage counts, which you can turn off. This policy covers the game only.

Your café stays on your phone

Your progress, settings and café are saved on your device. We don't upload them anywhere. If your phone backs up apps to your Google or Apple account, that backup includes your café, so it can come back after a reinstall; Google and Apple handle those backups under your account. If you use Move my café in Settings, the café code is created on your phone and goes only where you paste it.

Purchases

The game sells one optional purchase that opens the whole café. Payment is handled by Google Play or the App Store; we never see your card or payment details. To confirm and restore the purchase, the game uses RevenueCat, which receives a random ID created by the app, your purchase records and basic technical details such as app version, device type and country. We use this only to unlock the game for you.

Anonymous usage counts

To see which parts of the game people enjoy and where they get stuck, the game sends a few counts to PostHog, our analytics provider in the United States: when the game opens, which day and chapter you're on, finished days and chapters, Cake Sort wins and losses, goals claimed, energy refills, when the unlock screen appears, purchases and restores, whether reminders were allowed, and when the first tap, merge, box and served order happen, along with the app version and whether it's Android or iPhone. Each count also says how many days ago the game was first opened and how many times it has been opened. The date itself stays on your phone; only the count of days is sent. Each launch uses a new random number that is never saved, so the counts aren't linked to you or to each other across launches. They never include your name, your café or save, or any device or advertising ID. PostHog receives your IP address when the counts arrive, as any website would; the game asks it not to work out your location. Turn this off anytime with Share anonymous usage in Settings.

What we don't do

We don't sell or share your information, show ads, track you across apps or websites, or ask for your name, email, contacts, location, photos or microphone.

Children

The game is meant for players 13 and over and does not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Deleting your data

Uninstalling the game deletes your café from the device. Usage counts can't be traced back to a player, so there is nothing of yours in them to delete. To delete the purchase records held by RevenueCat, email tsouth2@gmail.com. Your store account keeps its own purchase history.

Changes and contact

If this policy changes, the date above changes with it. Questions can be sent to tsouth2@gmail.com.
