Privacy Policy
MonsterChef is designed to be safe for a family audience. We do not ask for your name, we do not make you create an account, and we do not track you across apps or websites.
Effective date: 15 August 2026 · Last updated: 15 August 2026
The short version
- We collect no personal information. No name, no email, no address, no phone number, no photos, no contacts, no precise location.
- There is no account and no login. Your game progress is stored only on your own device.
- We do not track you. MonsterChef does not use the Advertising Identifier (IDFA), does not show the App Tracking Transparency prompt, and does not build an advertising profile of you.
- Ads are contextual only. Ads are chosen without using your personal data or behaviour.
- There is no chat and no social feature. Players cannot message one another or share content.
Who we are
MonsterChef is developed and published by Odd Engines ("we", "us"). This policy explains how the MonsterChef mobile application handles information. It applies to the app only.
Information we collect directly
None. MonsterChef does not ask for, collect, or transmit any personally identifiable information. The app has no registration, no user profiles, no cloud save, no chat, no user-generated content, and no social sign-in.
Data stored on your device only
The app saves your game progress — such as levels completed, stars earned, coins, and settings — locally on your device using the operating system's standard app storage. This information never leaves your device, is not readable by us, and is deleted when you delete the app.
Advertising
MonsterChef is free and is supported by advertising. Ads are delivered through Unity LevelPlay (ironSource) mediation, which may serve ads from Unity Ads and other advertising networks in its waterfall.
MonsterChef is configured as a child-directed app
Before the advertising system starts, the app sets a COPPA child-directed flag for every user, without exception and regardless of age. This is enforced in code, not by a setting a user could change.
The practical effect of that flag:
- Advertising is restricted to contextual ads — chosen without profiling the user.
- No behavioural or personalised advertising is served.
- The device Advertising Identifier (IDFA) is not used, and the app additionally sets a device-identifier opt-out.
- No advertising profile is created, and no data is shared with data brokers.
What the advertising system does process
To deliver an ad at all, and to prevent advertising fraud, our advertising partners necessarily process limited technical information. This is handled by those partners as service providers:
| Information | Why it is needed |
|---|---|
| IP address (used to infer approximate country/region, then discarded or truncated) | To serve an ad appropriate to your country and to comply with regional law |
| Device type, model, operating system version, screen size, language | To render the ad correctly on your screen |
| Ad interaction events (that an ad was requested, shown, closed, or completed) | To make rewarded ads work, to cap how often ads appear, and to detect fraud |
This information is not used to identify you, is not combined with data from other apps to target you, and is not sold.

Children's privacy (COPPA and similar laws)
MonsterChef is suitable for a general audience including children. We treat every user as a child for privacy purposes, which is the most protective option available to us.
- We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone, including children under 13.
- We do not condition participation in any activity on disclosing more information than is reasonably necessary — we ask for nothing at all.
- We do not permit our advertising partners to use children's data for behavioural advertising.
- There are no links out of the app other than the Privacy Policy and Support links on the main menu, and any link an advertiser places inside its own ad.
Parents and guardians: because we collect no personal information, there is nothing for us to look up, correct, or delete on request. If you believe a child has somehow provided us with personal information, contact us at the address below and we will investigate and delete anything found.
Your choices
- Deleting your data: deleting the app removes all locally stored progress and settings from your device.
- Limiting ad tracking system-wide: on iOS you can go to
Settings → Privacy & Security → Trackingand turn off "Allow Apps to Request to Track". MonsterChef never requests tracking permission in any case. - Reporting an ad: if you see an ad you believe is inappropriate, please report it to us and we will raise it with the advertising network.
Data retention and security
We hold no personal data about you, so there is no personal data for us to retain or to lose. Game progress lives on your device under the operating system's app sandbox protections. Network communication with our advertising partners is encrypted in transit using HTTPS.
International users
MonsterChef is available internationally. Our advertising partners may process the limited technical information described above on servers outside your country. Where the GDPR or UK GDPR applies, our lawful basis for that limited processing is legitimate interest in delivering and securing the advertising that funds a free app; because we serve contextual ads only, no consent-based profiling takes place.
Changes to this policy
If we change how the app handles information, we will update this page and change the "Last updated" date above. Material changes will also be described in the app's release notes on the App Store.
