No account is required. Game progress is saved on your device. Optional diamond purchases are handled by Apple. Optional rewarded ads use AppLovin MAX. We use Adjust, Meta and ThinkingData for analytics and measurement. Apple's tracking permission is separate from operational analytics.
About the game
Fishing Dude, formerly Fishing Tycoon, is operated by Honoululu Inc.. This policy applies to Fishing Dude (bundle identifier com.honoululu.fishingtycoon), its support service and these pages. Harbor Tycoon: Merge Adventure has a separate privacy policy.
Information processed
Local progress. Your catches, upgrades, resources, settings, purchase-delivery records and ad-reward receipts are stored on your device. There is no account-based cloud save. Analytics receive selected gameplay events and progress measures, rather than your complete save file.
Gameplay and device information. Adjust, Meta App Events and ThinkingData process installation or device identifiers, sessions, app interactions, tutorial and progression events, active play time, purchase events, timestamps, app version, device and operating-system information, and network information such as IP address. ThinkingData also receives journey events such as feature use, gameplay results and errors, using an SDK-managed anonymous identifier. Providers may derive an approximate region from network information and process crash, performance and other technical diagnostics. The game does not request access to contacts or precise GPS location.
Purchases. Apple processes payments for fixed quantities of 600 or 1200 diamonds. After a verified transaction is delivered, we process product and transaction identifiers, the purchase date, amount and currency to deliver purchases, prevent duplicate credits and measure purchases. Purchase measurements are sent to Adjust, Meta and ThinkingData according to the app and transaction environment. We do not receive your payment-card details.
Optional rewarded ads. When you choose to use rewarded ads, AppLovin MAX and its advertising partners process device and app information, IP address, approximate region, identifiers subject to your choices and Apple tracking permission, ad interactions and technical information to serve and measure ads and prevent fraud. We keep reward receipts and daily claim counts on your device to deliver nets once. Ad-impression revenue, network, ad unit and placement are reported to Adjust and ThinkingData for measurement in the applicable app environment.
Tracking. If you allow tracking through Apple's App Tracking Transparency prompt, advertising identifiers may be used for attribution and campaign measurement. Relevant identifiers, interactions and purchase measurements may be linked with data from other companies for these purposes. Advertising-ID collection follows your Apple tracking permission.
Support and this website. If you email us, we receive your email address and the details you choose to send. Hosting providers process IP addresses and requests to deliver and protect the website. These pages do not use browser analytics, advertising cookies or third-party scripts.
How information is used
We use information to operate the game, deliver purchases and ad rewards, serve and measure advertising, prevent duplicate or fraudulent transactions, understand gameplay, diagnose problems, improve the game and measure campaigns promoting Fishing Dude. Service providers process information under their applicable arrangements and policies. See Adjust's privacy policy, Meta's privacy policy ThinkingData and AppLovin’s privacy policy.
The website is hosted through Runway on Amazon Web Services. Our email provider processes support correspondence. Information may be processed in countries where we and our providers operate. We may disclose information when required by law or necessary to protect our services.
Your choices
You can decline Apple's tracking request and continue playing and making purchases. You can manage this permission in iOS Settings > Privacy & Security > Tracking. This version does not include a separate in-game analytics opt-out switch.
Rewarded ads are optional. Before the first ad request, choose limited ads or allow personalized ads. Both choices provide the same net reward. Personalized advertising also requires Apple tracking authorization. Limited ads can still involve processing needed for delivery, measurement and fraud prevention. Open the shop’s Ad privacy control to change your choice; restart the game to apply a change to cached ads. You can also use the privacy controls described in AppLovin’s policy.
Core gameplay works offline; purchases and ads require an internet connection. Sound, vibration and language can be changed in the game's Settings. Contact us for privacy questions or requests concerning information already sent to providers.
Retention and requests
Local progress and delivery records remain on the device while the app retains them. Removing the app can remove local progress and consumable balances; contact support before reinstalling. Removing the app does not automatically delete information already received by service providers.
We retain information as needed for the purposes described here and applicable operational or legal requirements. Support correspondence is kept as needed to resolve requests. You may contact us to request access, correction or deletion, subject to applicable requirements and the information needed to locate your records. Do not send passwords or payment-card information. If you believe a child has provided personal information, contact us so we can investigate.
