Nine Deaths: Cat Survivors · com.shashko.ninedeaths · Last updated 14 September 2026

This policy explains what Nine Deaths (“the game”, “we”, “us”) collects, why, and what you can turn off. The game has no accounts and no sign-in: we never learn your name, your email, or who you are. We do not sell your data.

Who this applies to

Nine Deaths is intended for players aged 13 and older. It is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.

What we collect, and when

Data	When	Where it goes
Game progress — runs, unlocks, currencies, settings	As you play	Stored on your device only
A random ID generated by the game, plus session ID, app version and platform name (for example “Android”)	Every launch	PostHog (analytics), United States
Gameplay events — a run starting or ending, level reached, a revive taken, a purchase completing, a crash	As they happen	PostHog (analytics), United States
Advertising and device identifiers, approximate location derived from your IP address, and ad interactions	Only when a rewarded ad is requested or loaded	Google (AdMob / Google Mobile Ads SDK)
Purchase history	When you buy something	Google Play. We never see or store your payment details.

About the random ID

The ID the game sends to analytics is generated on your device from a timestamp and random numbers the first time you play. It is not your device ID, not your advertising ID, and not linked to any account. Uninstalling the game deletes it, and a reinstall produces a new one that cannot be connected to the old one.

Nine Deaths shows rewarded ads only: a short video you choose to watch in exchange for reviving after a death. Nothing is forced, and no ad ever interrupts play. Ads are served by Google AdMob, which collects the data listed above under Google’s own privacy terms.

If you buy Support the Dev, the ad SDK is never started at all — not loaded, not initialised, and no data reaches Google’s ad systems from the game.

What we never collect

Name, email address, phone number or any account details — the game has no login.
Contacts, photos, microphone, camera, or precise location.
Payment card details. Google Play handles payment end to end.
Anything you type. The game has no chat, no user-generated content and no messaging.

Why we collect it

Analytics: to see which runs players finish, where they stop playing, and whether an update made the game better or worse.
Crash reports: to find and fix the bug that ended your session.
Ads: to fund development, and to check that a reward was genuinely earned.
Purchases: to give you what you paid for, and to avoid granting it twice.

Your choices

Turn off ads entirely: buy Support the Dev. The ad SDK then never runs.
Reset or delete your advertising ID: Android Settings → Privacy → Ads, on most devices.
Delete everything: uninstall the game. Local progress and the random analytics ID are removed with it.
Request deletion of past analytics events: email us and we will remove them. See below.

Data deletion requests

Uninstalling the game removes all data held on your device. To have analytics events already sent from your device deleted, email daniel.shashko@gmail.com from any address and say so. Because the game has no accounts, we cannot look you up by name — include the random ID if you still have the game installed, or describe roughly when you played and we will delete on a best-effort basis.

Retention and security

Analytics events are kept for as long as they are useful for improving the game, and are sent over HTTPS. Purchase records are held by Google Play under their retention rules. Game progress lives on your device and we cannot read it.

Third parties

PostHog — product analytics.
Google AdMob — rewarded ads.
Google Play Billing — purchases.

Changes

If the game starts collecting something new, this page changes before the update ships, and the date at the top changes with it.
