We use your data to provide and improve the Service. By using the Service, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

Information Collection and Use

We collect several different types of information for various purposes to provide and improve our Service to you.

Types of Data Collected

Personal Data

The Application does not require you to create an account or provide any personal information to play. Your game progress is stored locally on your device only. While using our Service, we may collect certain automatically generated information that can be used to improve the Service ("Personal Data"). Such information may include, but is not limited to:

App Usage Data

The Application may automatically collect certain technical information through the third-party services described below, including the type of mobile device you use, your mobile operating system, your device's unique identifier, and information about how you interact with the Application (such as session duration, screens visited, and in-app events).

Third-Party Services

The Application uses the following third-party services, each with their own privacy practices:

Google Firebase Analytics

We use Firebase Analytics to understand how the Application is used. Firebase Analytics collects usage data such as events, session duration, device model, and operating system version. This data is used in aggregate to improve the Application and is not used to personally identify you. For more information, please visit Google's Privacy Policy at https://policies.google.com/privacy.

Google Firebase Crashlytics

We use Firebase Crashlytics to detect and diagnose application crashes and errors. Crashlytics automatically collects crash reports that may include device state information, the Application's stack trace at the time of the crash, and a randomly generated installation UUID. No personally identifiable information is intentionally included in crash reports. For more information, please visit Google's Privacy Policy at https://policies.google.com/privacy.

Google AdMob

The Application displays advertisements served by Google AdMob. AdMob may collect and use your device's advertising identifier (Android Advertising ID) and other information to serve you interest-based advertising. AdMob may also use your approximate location (derived from IP address) for ad targeting purposes. We do not share any additional personal data with AdMob beyond what is automatically collected by the SDK. For more information, or to opt out of interest-based advertising, please visit https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads.

Google Play Billing / Apple StoreKit

If you make an in-app purchase (such as removing ads), the transaction is processed entirely by Google Play (on Android) or the Apple App Store (on iOS). We do not collect or store your payment information. Purchase records are managed by the respective platform and are subject to their own privacy policies.
