OTTERCATCH · SVENSITE

Privacy Policy

Last updated September 25, 2026

OtterCatch is a simple mobile game in which you guide an otter, catch fish, and avoid obstacles. You can play the entire game without an account and without giving SvenSite any personal information. Two features are optional and do send data to SvenSite if you choose to use them: the online leaderboard and signing in with a Google account. Both are described below, along with the Android app's optional rewarded advertisement through Google AdMob.

What data is processed?

You do not need to provide a name, email address, precise location, or account just to play OtterCatch. If you choose to submit a score to the leaderboard or sign in with Google, the data described in the next two sections is sent to and stored by SvenSite. Google may also process certain device and usage data when the advertising features are used.

Score and settings on your device

Your best score and basic game preferences, such as your chosen control style and unlocked items, are stored locally on your device and are not sent anywhere unless you use one of the optional features below. You can remove this local data by clearing the app data or uninstalling the app.

Leaderboard

If you choose to submit a score, OtterCatch sends the name you typed, your score, and the distance you reached to a database SvenSite operates on Cloudflare, and shows it on a public leaderboard. A leaderboard name is reserved to the install or account that first uses it, so nobody else can submit scores under it. You can ask us to remove a leaderboard entry by emailing the address below.

Signing in with Google

OtterCatch optionally lets you sign in with a Google account, using Firebase Authentication, so your coins, unlocked items, and leaderboard name can follow you to a new device instead of staying on one install. Signing in sends your Google account's email address and display name to SvenSite, along with your in-game progress, and stores them in the same Cloudflare database as the leaderboard. This is entirely optional — everything in OtterCatch also works without signing in, using a restore code you can copy to another device by hand instead. You can ask us to delete your account data by emailing the address below; Google's own handling of your account is governed by the Google Privacy Policy linked further down.

Advertising and analytics

OtterCatch uses Google AdMob to provide an optional rewarded ad that can revive your otter once per run or award in-game coins. According to Google, the Google Mobile Ads SDK may automatically collect and share an IP address, product interactions such as app launches, taps and video views, diagnostic information, and device or account identifiers including the Android advertising ID. Google uses this information for advertising, analytics, and fraud prevention. Data sent by the SDK is encrypted in transit.

Where required, OtterCatch uses Google's User Messaging Platform to request advertising consent before requesting an ad. You can review or change available advertising privacy choices using the information button in the game. Depending on your choice and region, Google may provide personalized, non-personalized, or limited ads.

Children

Playing OtterCatch does not require any personal data, and the game has no chat or the ability to post content. The leaderboard and Google sign-in described above are optional, collect only what's described in those sections, and are not directed at children. OtterCatch as a whole is not specifically directed at children under the age of 13.

Third-party services

The Android app uses Google AdMob, Google's User Messaging Platform, and — only if you sign in — Google Firebase Authentication. Their processing is governed by the applicable Google policies. You can read the Google Privacy Policy for more information. Leaderboard entries and signed-in account data are stored in a Cloudflare database that SvenSite operates directly. Downloading and distribution through Google Play are also governed by Google's privacy policy and terms.

Changes

We may update this policy when the app changes. The current version will remain available on this page and will show the date of the latest update at the top.
