Squish Lab Privacy Policy

Effective date: 2026-09-26

This policy explains what information the Squish Lab app for Android (package com.jaesungyoo.squishlab) and this support website handle. Squish Lab is published by johndesuga and is made for young children (ages 8 and under) to play with a parent or caregiver.

In short: Squish Lab has no accounts and no server of its own. Settings and unlocks stay on your device. Optional rewarded ads are provided by Google AdMob; when ads are used, Google’s software in the app collects some data, as described below. Ads are never shown in toddler mode or free play.

Information stored on your device

The app saves the following only on your device: language, sound, music, vibration and softness settings; favorites; which squishies are unlocked; toddler-mode settings; tutorial progress; and a short log of recent ad steps (such as “ad loaded” or “ad closed”, with the time) used for troubleshooting. The app does not send this information to us.

There is no sign-in, and Squish Lab does not provide its own backup or restore to another device. Clearing the app’s data or uninstalling the app deletes this information from the device. If Android device backup is turned on in your device settings, Android may include app settings in that backup; this is managed by your device and Google account, not by Squish Lab.

The app does not ask for a name, age, date of birth, email address or photos, and it does not request access to location, camera, microphone, contacts or files.

Optional rewarded ads (Google AdMob)

Two squishies are available from the start. The other ten can be unlocked by choosing to watch a rewarded ad when one is available. Watching an ad is always optional, and children can keep playing with the squishies they already have. The app shows no other ads (no banner or pop-up ads during play), and ads are not available in toddler mode or free play.

Ads are provided by Google AdMob through the Google Mobile Ads SDK and Google’s User Messaging Platform (UMP). The app starts loading ads only after the unlock screen is opened outside toddler mode and free play. After that, it may keep one ad ready in the background during normal play until the app is closed.

Because the app does not ask for age, all users are treated as children for advertising. Every ad request is tagged for child-directed treatment, the UMP check is tagged as “under the age of consent”, and the maximum ad content rating is set to G (general audiences). According to Google, these settings turn off personalized (interest-based) advertising and remarketing for these requests. The app also removes the Android advertising ID permission and the Android AdServices (Privacy Sandbox) permissions.

The app never shows a consent form to children. If Google’s consent service reports that consent would be required in your region, or if the check cannot be completed, the app does not load ads and the extra squishies stay locked.

Data collected and shared by the Google Mobile Ads SDK

When ads are used, the Google Mobile Ads SDK in the app may automatically collect the following and share it with Google:

This data is used for advertising (showing and measuring ads), analytics, and fraud prevention, security and compliance. It is encrypted in transit. It is collected by Google’s SDK, not by a Squish Lab server; the developer sees only aggregated reports in AdMob (such as the number of ads shown).

Squish Lab does not have a separate setting to turn off this data collection. If you prefer to avoid ads, use toddler mode or free play. How Google uses and keeps this data is explained in the Google policies linked below.

Children and parents

Squish Lab is designed for children ages 8 and under playing with a parent or caregiver. Other than through the Google Mobile Ads SDK described above, the app does not collect or send information about your child. There is no chat, sign-up, in-app messaging or sharing feature.

Toddler mode hides menus and ads. To leave it, an adult holds the parent button for 3 seconds and answers a simple question. It is a convenience feature, not a device lock, and it does not replace a parent’s supervision.

Parents can contact us at any time with questions or requests. Because the app’s data is stored only on your device, you can delete it by clearing the app’s data or uninstalling the app; we do not keep a copy. For data processed by Google through ads, please see Google’s policies below; we will help where we can.

Support email

If you email workingbeeapp@gmail.com, johndesuga receives your email address and whatever you include, and uses it only to answer you. The mailbox is provided by Google (Gmail). Support emails are kept only as long as needed to handle your inquiry and are deleted within 90 days after the inquiry is resolved. You can ask to see or delete your correspondence at the same address. Please do not send children’s names, photos, passwords or other unnecessary personal information.

This website

Cloudflare Pages hosts this website. Cloudflare processes connection information such as IP addresses and traffic data to deliver and protect the site. We add no advertising, analytics scripts, forms or external fonts. Provider data handling and retention are described in the Cloudflare privacy policy linked below; the 90-day support-email period does not apply to provider logs.

Game engine settings

Squish Lab is built with the Unity engine. Unity Analytics, Unity crash reporting and Unity engine diagnostics are turned off in the app’s build settings.
