Our mobile applications

We use mobile analytics to improve your experience in our games and for diagnostics (to catch crashes). The data we gather is only used by us. The decisions we make upon these statistics are performed by humans (i.e. they are not automated, we do not do “profiling” to serve different users different content based on how they behave).

These statistics are as anonymous as the technologies we list below allow. We do not share this data with anyone except the data collectors listed below. These statistics are only used by us to improve the games we make.

We use these technologies:

  • We use your Google user data to provide you Google Play Games Services to collect and show achievements in our games.

  • Tenjin (in Unholy Society on iOS and Android) for install attribution (how do find our app in the store).

  • Game Analytics (in Unholy Society, Escape from the Universe, Dragon Squash) for analytics — how do you progress through the game, through the UI and what in-app purchases you make.

    E.g. we sometimes make things easier or harder, depending on these statistics, to keep the game entertaining for everyone.

    We also gather data to guide future game story development — that’s how we did the Your choices shape the Universe! feature of Escape from the Universe, which you can see on the “Escape from the Universe” webpage.

  • Google Analytics (in Escape from the Universe, Dragon Squash) for analytics — how do you progress through the game, through the UI and what in-app purchases you make.

  • Chartboost (for Dragon Squash) for ads. We ask for the READ_PHONE_STATE permission to optimize displaying the ads.

Our websites (cat-astrophe-games.com, unholy-society.com)

We use website analytics to improve your experience on our webpages: to detect erors (e.g. broken links) and to decide how to best present our content to users (e.g. what content is most useful to you). We use it only ourselves. The decisions we make upon these statistics are performed by humans (i.e. they are not automated, we do not do “profiling” to serve different users different content based on how they behave).

We use these technologies:

  • Matomo. Self-hosted (the data is on our servers, not any 3rd party). The data (like IP addresses) is immediately anonymized (e.g. we story only first 2 bytes from IPv4 address). i.e. we don’t store non-anonymized data in our database at all. The logs are removed after 180 days anyway.

  • Google Analytics. The data is only stored on Google Analytics servers, and removed after 26 months.

  • WordPress stats. The data is only stored by WordPress.com servers. The logs are retained by WordPress.com for 28 days.

We do not share the gathered data with any 3rd-party. We only store the data on Google Analytics and WordPress.com servers, as is necessary, and they guarantee that noone else should access this data.
