Mr. Latte StoryPenguin Most Wanted Privacy Policy
This English page is a machine translation of the Korean original, so some wording may read a little off.
Penguin Most Wanted (Android package net.mrlatte.penguinmostwanted) is a 3D runner about a penguin who stole a golden fish and is chased across Antarctica, operated by Mr. Latte. This policy applies to the game app. Contact us at hello@mrlatte.net.
Game saves
Your fish, total fish collected, best distance, best score and highest wanted level, the number of runs and the total distance you have run, permanent upgrades, the penguins you own and the one you use, daily missions and their progress, whether you finished the first-run lessons, and your settings (music, sound, vibration and language) are stored on your device. The game also keeps a short record of rewarded ads already paid, so a reward is never given twice. These records are not sent to a game server. You can play without creating an account or signing in. Clearing the app's storage in Android settings or uninstalling the app deletes its local records.
Advertising data
On Android you can choose to watch a rewarded ad in two places on the result screen: to revive once in a run after a crash, and to get the fish of that run a second time. A reward is granted only when the ad reward is confirmed. When you leave the result screen after every third finished run, one full-screen ad is shown; it is skipped when you have just watched a rewarded ad on that screen. The game shows no banner ads, and everything in it can be earned without watching a rewarded ad.
We use Google AdMob and Google's consent tools to prepare and show ads. The advertising SDK may collect and share approximate location inferred from your IP address; interactions such as app launches, ad taps and video views; performance and diagnostic information; and device identifiers such as the advertising ID and app set ID. These are used for advertising, measurement, analytics and fraud prevention. Ads may be prepared while you use the app, before you select an ad button. Whether ads are requested and which information is processed depend on your region, consent status and device settings. User data transmitted by the advertising SDK is encrypted using TLS.
The game applies under-age-of-consent treatment to every ad request, so personalized advertising is not used, and limits ad content to a PG rating. We do not collect dates of birth.
Google handles retention and deletion under its Privacy Policy and its explanation of how Google uses information from apps that use its services. See Google's advertising SDK data disclosure for technical details.
Privacy choices
Where consent is required, Google's consent screen appears before ads are requested. When advertising privacy options are available, open Settings in the game and choose 'Privacy choices'. You can also reset or delete your advertising ID in Android's privacy and advertising settings.
Usage statistics
We use Google Analytics for Firebase to improve the game and tune its difficulty. Records of the runs you start and finish (the penguin you used, distance, score, wanted level and how the run ended), permanent upgrades, penguins you unlock, daily missions you claim, when a rewarded ad is offered, started or completed and when a full-screen ad is shown, how long you play, the device model, Android and app versions, your approximate country estimated from the IP address and an identifier set for each installation are sent to Google. Your name, contact details and advertising ID are not sent.
The statistics are used only to see what is hard and which features are used, and Google keeps them for up to 14 months. See Firebase privacy information for how Firebase handles data.
Audio and artwork
Music, sound effects and artwork are bundled files. The game does not request microphone, camera or photo access. The picture on the result poster is a screenshot of the moment the run ended; it stays on the screen and is not saved or sent.
Support and your rights
If you email us, we use your reply address and the information you provide to answer and resolve your request. Support records are kept for as long as needed to handle the request. Contact hello@mrlatte.net to request access, correction or deletion, or to ask about data processing. You can delete local game records through Android's app storage controls. Use Google's privacy controls to manage advertising data held by Google.
Changes to this policy will appear on this page. Material changes to how information is handled will also be explained in the app.
