Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 25, 2026

This policy explains what the Onet Pair Animals: Tile Match game for iPhone, iPad and Android (“the app”; formerly Onet Connect Animal) does with your information. The app is published by Nikmesoft Company, Ltd. (“Nikmesoft”, “we”). Questions: [email protected].

Version 3.0 is a new edition of the game. Its rules are described first; version 2.5 and earlier differ in a few points, listed at the end. You can see your version in the App Store (on Android, in Google Play). The Android version has its own section.

The short version

  • There is no account. Your progress, settings and items stay on your device.
  • Until you buy “Remove ads”, the app shows ads from Google AdMob. Google may collect device information to show and measure ads.
  • Purchases are handled by Apple (on Android, by Google Play); we never see your payment details.
  • We do not sell your data.

Version 3.0 and later

Information kept on your device

Your level, score, settings and chosen theme are stored in the app and are deleted when you delete the app. Your items (hints, shuffles, block removers, pair removers, level skips), your “Remove ads” purchase and a record of the purchases already credited are stored in the iOS Keychain on your device so that they survive reinstalling the app; they stay on the device until you erase it (Settings › General › Transfer or Reset iPhone). None of this is sent to us.

Advertising (Google AdMob)

Unless you bought “Remove ads”, the app uses Google AdMob (Google LLC) to show ads, including optional videos you can watch to earn items. Once you own “Remove ads”, the app does not load AdMob from the next launch on. While AdMob is used, Google may collect, to show, limit and measure ads and to prevent fraud:

  • the advertising identifier (IDFA), only if you allow tracking when iOS asks (Settings › Privacy & Security › Tracking). Declining stops the use of this identifier to track you across other companies' apps and websites;
  • your IP address and approximate location derived from it, device model, iOS version, language, and the app's identifier;
  • how you interact with ads (views, clicks) and diagnostic data about ad performance.

Whether ads are personalised is decided by Google based on your choices. If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, the app first shows Google's consent form, and personalised ads are shown only with your consent; you can change your choice in the app's Settings › Privacy settings. Google's use of this data is described in How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services and the Google Privacy Policy.

Purchases

In-app purchases are processed by Apple. The app receives only a record of the purchase from Apple (product and transaction identifiers), checks it on your device and adds the items. We do not receive your name, Apple ID or payment details.

Game Center (iOS only)

If you are signed in to Game Center, your total score is submitted to the game's leaderboard, where other players can see it together with your Game Center nickname. Game Center is operated by Apple under Apple's Privacy Policy.

Theme downloads

The app checks nikmesoft.com from time to time for new seasonal themes and downloads them. Our server sees your IP address to answer the request but does not keep logs of these requests. Requests pass through our network provider Cloudflare, which processes IP addresses to deliver and protect the service.

Update check

From version 3.1, when you open the app, it downloads a small configuration file from our website to find out whether a newer version is available or needed: https://nikmesoft.com/app-config/v1/com.nikmesoft.nikmepikachu.json on iPhone and iPad, https://nikmesoft.com/app-config/v1/com.nikmesoft.pikachu.json on Android. The request sends no personal data: no account, no identifier and nothing about you or how you use the app. Like theme downloads, it is not logged by our server and passes through Cloudflare, which processes IP addresses only to deliver the file.

Android

The Android version (on Google Play) is the same game as version 3.0 above and follows the same rules, except for the points below.

Information kept on your device

Your level, score, settings, chosen theme, items, your “Remove ads” purchase and a record of the purchases already credited are stored in the app's own storage on your device (there is no Keychain on Android). They are deleted when you uninstall the app. If backup is turned on on your device, Android Auto Backup may copy this data to your Google Account and restore it when you reinstall the app; it may also be copied when you transfer your data to a new device. This backup is handled by Google and we have no access to it. You can always get “Remove ads” back by restoring your purchases from Google Play. None of this is sent to us.

Advertising (Google AdMob)

Ads work as described above, with these differences on Android:

  • Google's Mobile Ads SDK collects your device's advertising ID (the app declares Android's advertising ID permission) and an app set ID. Android does not ask a tracking question as iOS does; you can reset or delete your advertising ID in your device's Settings › Google › Ads (the names may differ on some devices). The app set ID can still be used for analytics and fraud prevention after you delete the advertising ID.
  • It also collects your IP address and approximate location derived from it, device model, Android version, language, the app's identifier, interactions such as app launches, taps and ad views and clicks, and diagnostic data such as app launch time, hangs and energy use. Google uses this to show and measure ads, for analytics and to prevent fraud.
  • In the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland, Google's consent form is shown first, and you can change your choice in the app's Settings › Privacy settings.
  • Once you own “Remove ads”, the app does not load AdMob from the next launch on.

Purchases (Google Play)

In-app purchases are processed by Google Play, and Google handles the payment. The app receives only the product identifier, the order identifier and a purchase token, checks the purchase on your device and adds the items. We do not receive your name, email address or payment card details.

No Game Center or leaderboard

The Android version has no leaderboard and does not use Google Play Games. Your score is not sent anywhere.

Other features

  • Theme downloads work as described above (through Cloudflare; our server keeps no logs of them).
  • Sharing opens Android's share sheet; you choose where to share and what is sent.
  • Rating the game uses Google Play's in-app review, which Google handles.
  • Contacting us opens your email app, and links open in your browser or in Google Play.

Permissions

The app does not ask you for any permission while you play. It needs internet access (ads, purchases, theme downloads); the Google Mobile Ads and Google Play Billing libraries it uses add the install-time permissions they need, such as network state, the advertising ID, ad measurement and billing. Google Play lists them on the app's page. The app does not access your contacts, photos, location, camera or microphone.

Children

On Google Play the game's target audience is ages 13 and over; it is not designed for children under 13.

Version 2.5 and earlier

These versions also keep your progress and items on your device, use Game Center the same way, and show ads from Google AdMob as described above (the iOS tracking question is asked; Google's consent form is not shown). They differ as follows:

  • After a purchase, the app sends a record of it to a Nikmesoft server: the product and transaction identifiers, purchase date, your device's language and region setting, device model, iOS version, and app name and version. It does not include your name, Apple ID or payment details. We use it only to keep track of purchases. Requests pass through our network provider Cloudflare, which processes IP addresses to deliver and protect the service.
  • There are no theme downloads.

Children

The game is suitable for all ages but is not directed specifically at children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. Parents can decline tracking when iOS asks, and can buy “Remove ads”.

Your choices

  • Decline or withdraw tracking in iOS Settings.
  • On Android, reset or delete your advertising ID in Settings › Google › Ads.
  • Change ad consent in the app's Settings (version 3.0, where the consent form applies).
  • Sign out of Game Center to stop submitting scores.
  • Email us to ask anything about your data.

Changes

We will update this page when the app changes how it handles information, and change the date at the top.
