Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how SSGamer collects, uses, stores, and protects information when you play Bow Wow Doge Battle on Android, iOS, or other supported platforms.

Official distribution notice: Bow Wow Doge Battle is officially distributed only through Google Play and other official app store listings or channels expressly published by SSGamer. SSGamer does not officially publish, distribute, promote, monetize, or provide official support for the game in Mainland China. Copies obtained from unofficial APK websites, third-party app stores, reposted packages, modified packages, or other non-official sources are not authorized by SSGamer.

By using Bow Wow Doge Battle, you agree to the collection and use of information as described in this Privacy Policy.

1. About Bow Wow Doge Battle

Bow Wow Doge Battle is a humorous PvP mobile game where players control dog characters and compete using microphone-based gameplay. Players may make barking-like sounds, play random PvP matches, join Friend Battle rooms, use realtime voice in supported modes, chat with other players, view rankings, watch ads, and, only in supported countries or regions, make optional in-app purchases.

2. Official Distribution, Unsupported Regions, and Unofficial Copies

Bow Wow Doge Battle is officially distributed only through Google Play and other official app store listings or channels expressly published by SSGamer. Mainland China is not currently an officially supported region for the game.

The game may support multiple languages, including Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese, for players in supported regions such as Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macau, and other Chinese-speaking communities. Language support does not mean that the game is officially published, distributed, promoted, monetized, or supported in Mainland China.

If you install or access the game through an unofficial source, including a reposted APK, third-party app store, mirror download, modified package, or unauthorized distribution channel, the game may be unsafe, outdated, modified, unstable, or unsupported. SSGamer is not responsible for copies distributed by third parties without permission.

If you access the game from an unsupported region or through an unofficial copy, we may limit, suspend, block, or disable some online features, including login, matchmaking, chat, voice chat, microphone features, rankings, ads, purchases, support, and data recovery, to protect server stability, user safety, legal compliance, and the integrity of the game.

3. Information We Collect

2.1 Game Account and Gameplay Data

We may collect and store gameplay-related data, including:

• Player ID or device-linked game ID.
• Player nickname and the ID of the default in-game avatar selected by the player. The game does not collect or upload custom profile photos.
• Rank points, leaderboard score, win/loss records, and match statistics.
• Energy amount, recovery status, and gameplay progress.
• Friend Battle room information.
• Ban status, warning status, and moderation history.
• Valid purchase history for in-app purchases such as remove ads or support packages.

2.2 Microphone Data

Bow Wow Doge Battle uses your device microphone for core gameplay. The microphone may be used to detect barking-like sounds, sound strength, volume level, timing, or similar vocal input during matches.

In supported modes, microphone audio may be transmitted in realtime to another player through voice communication services such as Photon Voice. This realtime transmission is used only to provide live gameplay or voice communication features.

SSGamer does not record, store, save, upload, archive, or keep copies of microphone audio, voice conversations, barking sounds, or other microphone recordings on its game servers.

We do not use microphone data to identify who you are. We do not use microphone input for biometric identification, voice identity recognition, speaker recognition, personal identity verification, advertising profiling, or training voice recognition systems.

Technical connection data related to voice features, such as player ID, session status, connection status, error logs, or moderation reports, may still be processed when necessary to operate, secure, debug, or protect the game. This does not include storing microphone audio recordings.

2.3 Chat and User-Generated Content

The game may include global chat, language-based chat, room chat, player names, and other user-generated content. We may collect and store:

• Chat messages.
• Sender player ID.
• Time of message.
• Language or chat channel.
• Reports, moderation actions, and violation records.

We use this information to provide chat features, moderate harmful behavior, investigate reports, and protect the community.

2.4 Device, Technical, and Log Data

We may collect technical information such as device model, operating system version, app version, IP address, approximate network information, crash logs, diagnostic logs, connection status, server request logs, and realtime connection data.

This information helps us maintain the game, fix bugs, prevent cheating, protect servers, and improve performance.

2.5 Advertising Data

Bow Wow Doge Battle may show ads, including rewarded ads and banner ads, through advertising partners such as Google AdMob.

Advertising partners may collect or process information such as advertising ID, device information, app interactions, ad impressions, ad clicks, reward completion events, and approximate location derived from IP address, depending on platform settings and consent requirements.

You may be able to limit ad personalization through your device settings or platform privacy settings.

2.6 Purchase Data

The game may offer optional in-app purchases in supported countries or regions, including remove ads and voluntary support packages. In some countries or regions, purchases may be unavailable and the game may be offered as free-to-play without paid purchase options. We do not directly collect or store your full payment card information.

Purchases are processed by official platform payment systems such as Google Play or Apple App Store. We may store purchase confirmation data such as product ID, transaction ID, receipt status, purchase time, and entitlement status to verify valid purchases and restore purchased items.

4. How We Use Information

We use collected information to:

• Operate PvP matchmaking and Friend Battle rooms.
• Detect microphone-based gameplay input.
• Enable realtime voice features in supported modes.
• Provide chat and language-based chat features.
• Save progress, selected default in-game avatar ID, rank, score, and match statistics.
• Display leaderboards.
• Restore valid purchases.
• Show rewarded ads and banner ads.
• Prevent cheating, spam, abuse, harassment, impersonation, and fraud.
• Enforce bans and moderation actions.
• Improve game balance, performance, and stability.

• Comply with legal and platform requirements.
• Apply regional limits, traffic controls, feature restrictions, anti-abuse protections, and server stability measures where necessary.

5. Microphone and Barking Gameplay Notice

If you are uncomfortable making barking-like sounds, making loud vocal sounds, or hearing other players bark or speak during a match, you should not use microphone-based or voice-enabled modes.

6. Sharing of Information

We may share limited information with third-party service providers that help operate the game, including cloud server/VPS providers, Photon services, Google AdMob, Google Play, Apple App Store, analytics or crash reporting tools if used, and customer support tools if used.

We do not sell personal chat messages. We do not collect, store, or sell microphone recordings.

We may disclose information when required to comply with law, enforce our Terms, prevent fraud, protect players, respond to valid legal requests, investigate abuse, or protect the game and its servers.

7. Third-Party Services

Bow Wow Doge Battle may use third-party services such as Photon PUN, Photon Voice, Photon Chat, Google AdMob, Google Play Billing, Apple In-App Purchase, server/VPS hosting providers, analytics tools, or crash reporting tools.

These services may process information according to their own privacy policies.

8. Data Retention

We keep information only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including maintaining player progress, operating leaderboards, restoring purchases, handling support requests, enforcing bans, preventing abuse, and complying with legal or platform obligations.

Chat messages, server logs, and moderation records may be retained for a limited period or longer when needed for safety, dispute resolution, fraud prevention, or legal compliance. Microphone audio recordings are not retained because SSGamer does not record or store microphone audio.

9. Children’s Privacy

Bow Wow Doge Battle is not intended for children under the minimum age required by applicable law in their country. If the game is made available to younger audiences in any region, we will follow applicable child privacy laws and platform requirements.

Parents or guardians may contact us at vansias.it@gmail.com to request review or deletion of a child’s data where applicable.

10. Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect player data. However, no online service is completely secure. Players should avoid sharing personal information in chat and should protect their own devices and accounts.

11. Player Rights and Choices

Depending on your location, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, restriction, or objection to certain processing of your data. You may also withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.

To make a request, contact us at vansias.it@gmail.com. We may need to verify your identity or player ID before processing your request.

12. International Data Processing

Game servers, service providers, and third-party SDKs may process data in countries different from where you live. By using the game, you understand that your information may be transferred and processed outside your country, subject to applicable laws and safeguards.

If you access the game from an unsupported region, you understand that the game may not be officially available, localized, monetized, supported, or legally approved for that region. We may restrict or discontinue access to online features in unsupported regions where necessary.

13. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make significant changes, we may notify players in the game, on our website, or through the app store listing.

Continued use of the game after changes means you accept the updated Privacy Policy.
