Privacy policy

Pockling doesn't collect, store on a server, share or sell any information about you. There are no accounts, no analytics, no advertising and no tracking of any kind.

What stays on your device

Your pet's name, its needs, its growth, your berries, its outfits and your settings are saved only on your device: in the app's own storage on iPhone and iPad, and in your browser's storage on the web. Removing the app or clearing the browser's data removes them. If you use iCloud or computer backups of your device, the backup includes the app's save.

The microphone

Pockling only listens while you have talk-back turned on, and asks your permission first. When you speak, the sound is held in memory just long enough for your pet to say it back in a squeaky voice, then it is thrown away. It is never written to storage and never sent anywhere. You can turn talk-back off at any time, and refuse or withdraw the permission in your device's settings; everything else in the game still works.

Other device features

• Tilt. The app reads the angle of your device to make the room shift gently as you move it. Nothing is stored.
• Reminders. If you turn on the daily reminder, it is a notification scheduled on your device. Nothing goes through a server.
• Pet cards. The photo card is made on your device. It only goes somewhere if you choose to share it, using your device's own share sheet.

The app and the internet

The iOS app has no network features: the whole game is inside the app. It only leaves the app when you tap a link to this website, which opens in your browser.

This website

The web version is served by our web server, which keeps ordinary request logs (such as IP address and page requested) to keep the site running and secure. We don't use them to identify anyone, and we don't use cookies, analytics or advertising here.

Children

Pockling is suitable for all ages and collects nothing from anyone, children included.

Changes and questions

If this policy ever changes, the new version will appear on this page with a new date. Questions: email admin@9io.ai. Pockling is made by 9io.
