Privacy Policy

The Last Catch: Cozy Fishing · last updated 4 October 2026

Who is responsible

The Last Catch is made by Ekim Basoglu, an independent developer ("I", "me"). I am responsible for the game and this policy. Contact: ekimbasoglu@hotmail.com.

What stays on your device

Your saved games, settings and whether you bought "Remove Ads" are stored only on your device. They are never sent to me, and they are deleted when you delete the app.

What I collect

I run no servers for the game and collect no personal data through it. If you email me, I receive your email address and what you write, and use them only to answer you. I keep those emails only as long as needed to help you, and delete them on request.

If you have turned on "Share With App Developers" in your iPhone or iPad settings, Apple may send me anonymous crash and performance reports. They do not identify you, and I use them only to fix problems.

Advertising (Google AdMob)

The game shows occasional full-screen ads, only while the screen fades between areas of the map. They are served by Google AdMob, a service of Google LLC and, for users in the EEA and UK, Google Ireland Limited. To serve ads, limit how often you see them, measure them and prevent fraud, Google may collect and process data from your device, such as:

• the device's advertising identifier (IDFA), only if you allow tracking, and other device identifiers;
• your IP address and the coarse location derived from it;
• device, operating system and app information;
• how you interact with the ads you see.

Google processes this data under its own policies; see How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services and the Google Privacy Policy. I do not receive this data in a form that identifies you; I only see totals such as how many ads were shown.

Consent (EEA, UK and Switzerland). Before any ad is requested, the game shows Google's consent form. Ads rely on the choices you make there. You can review or change them at any time under pause menu → SUPPORT → AD PRIVACY.

Tracking (iOS). The game only uses your device's advertising identifier if you allow it in Apple's App Tracking Transparency prompt. If you decline, or turn off "Allow Apps to Request to Track" in Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking, ads may still be shown, but they are not personalised using that identifier.

Remove Ads. After you buy "Remove Ads", the game stops requesting ads altogether.

Purchases

"Remove Ads" is a one-time in-app purchase handled entirely by Apple. I never see your payment details or Apple Account. Restoring the purchase on another device goes through your Apple Account.

Children

The game is not directed at children under 13 (or the equivalent minimum age where you live), and I do not knowingly collect their personal data. If you believe a child has sent me personal data, write to me and I will delete it.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, for example in the EEA, the UK, Switzerland, Turkey or California, you may have the right to access, correct or delete your personal data, to object to or restrict its processing, and to withdraw consent at any time. For the data I hold (support emails), write to me and I will reply within 30 days. For advertising data, use AD PRIVACY in the game, the iOS tracking setting above, or contact Google through its privacy policy. You also have the right to complain to your local data protection authority.

I do not sell your personal information. Advertising data is handled by Google as described above.

International transfers

Google may process advertising data on servers outside your country, including in the United States, under safeguards such as the EU Standard Contractual Clauses.

Changes

If this policy changes, the new version will be posted on this page with a new date. Significant changes will also be mentioned in the app's release notes.
