The short version
Grab & Grow: Food Catch is developed by Abdulkarim Tob. It does not require an in-game account and includes no advertising or third-party analytics, social-login or cross-app tracking SDKs. Gameplay progress is saved on your device and, when available, in your private iCloud database. This policy also explains optional notifications, first-party Game news audience measurement, support email and this website.
Gameplay information
The game saves level progress, scores, trophies, your coin wallet and coin-based Booster purchases, Booster inventory and use, reward history, campaign completion, current-run checkpoints and remaining hearts. These records are used to operate the game and save or restore your progress.
Private iCloud progress
When you are signed in to iCloud and CloudKit is available, lasting campaign progress—including unlocked levels, scores, trophies, coins, Boosters and reward records—is synchronized through your private iCloud database. Current-run checkpoints and remaining hearts remain on the device. The developer does not operate a gameplay server and does not receive or view these private gameplay records. The game does not receive your name, email address or contact information through this synchronization.
Optional notifications and update checks
After the playable home is ready, the upcoming update asks for iOS notification permission if needed. When permission is granted, new preferences for Hearts full alerts, the one-time Play reminder after two days away, and Game news default to ON. Existing OFF choices and iOS permission denial are respected. Hearts full alerts and the Play reminder are scheduled locally and do not require iCloud. Game news uses Apple’s CloudKit and Apple Push Notification service to deliver published game announcements through a subscription associated with your iCloud account. Game news requires iCloud availability, a connection and successful registration; failed setup can be retried. You can turn these options off in the game or your device settings. The game also contacts Apple’s App Store lookup service to check whether a newer compatible public version is available. These features do not add advertising or cross-app tracking.
Game news and audience measurement
When Game news and iOS notifications are enabled, audience reporting may store a random installation identifier, eligibility state, game language, app version/build, and the server update time in CloudKit. Apple supplies a pseudonymous record-owner identifier. The developer uses these records to count recently registered installations and distinct iCloud accounts and to manage notification delivery. We do not store APNs device tokens, names, email addresses, or contact details in this registry, and do not use it for advertising or cross-app tracking.
Turning Game news off marks the installation inactive when the server can be reached. Offline changes, uninstalls and iCloud account changes may leave an older record. Records not refreshed for 30 days are excluded from the recent-audience count; that count does not guarantee notification arrival. Registry records remain until removed by the developer. Contact support about removal. Gameplay remains available if reporting fails.
Your choices and deletion
You can play without a separate game account. Local gameplay remains available without iCloud, subject to any already-confirmed required App Store update. Removing the app deletes its local gameplay data; permanent progress may remain in iCloud and be restored after reinstalling. In game settings, Restart Levels keeps balances and records while restarting level progression. Erase Everything removes saved progress and balances and synchronizes that reset when iCloud is available. These actions cannot be undone. You can also manage or delete the game’s stored iCloud data through your device’s iCloud storage settings.
Support email
If you email support, we receive the email address, message and attachments you choose to send. We use them to respond, investigate the reported issue, protect the support channel from misuse and meet applicable legal obligations. Support correspondence is not linked to your private iCloud gameplay records or used for advertising. Messages are retained only as long as reasonably needed for those purposes. You may email us to request deletion of a support conversation, subject to any legal retention requirement.
Apple services
Apple provides iCloud, CloudKit, push notification delivery and App Store services and may process downloads and device diagnostics under its own privacy policy. The current game does not offer in-app purchases. The game contains no third-party advertising, analytics, social-login or tracking SDKs.
Children’s privacy
The game does not ask children or other players for names, email addresses, phone numbers, precise location, photos or voice recordings. Gameplay information is handled as described above. A parent or guardian may contact support about a privacy question.
This website
This website is hosted on GitHub Pages. It does not run advertising, analytics scripts or tracking pixels, and it has no account system or contact form. Your browser sends ordinary connection information, such as your IP address and browser information, to GitHub when requesting pages and images. GitHub handles hosting information under its own privacy statement. If you follow an App Store or email link, the destination service’s practices apply.
Changes and contact
We will update this policy when the game’s data practices change and revise the date above. For support or privacy requests, email Mindslinks@gmail.com.
