2. Definitions

| Device Identifiers | Unique codes assigned to your device, such as IDFA (iOS) or Advertising ID (Android) |
| Services | Our games, website, and all related offerings |
| Third-Party Services | External platforms integrated into our Services (e.g., Google AdMob, Apple, Google) |
3. Information We Collect
We practice data minimization — collecting only what is necessary to operate, improve, and support our Services.
3.1 Automatically Collected
| Category | Examples |
|---|---|
| Device | Type, model, manufacturer, screen resolution |
| System | OS, version, language, regional settings |
| App | Version, build number, install source |

3.2 Advertising Identifiers
Google AdMob and its partners may collect IDFA (iOS), AAID/GAID (Android), IP address, and ad interaction data. See Section 5 for full details and opt-out options.
3.3 Game Data & Local Storage

|---|---|
| Progress, scores, levels | Restore gameplay session |
Purchase flags (e.g., isAdsRemoved) | Honor "Remove Ads" purchases |
| Preferences & settings | Apply in-game choices |
| Virtual currency (coins) | Track in-game economy |
Data resides on your device. No account registration required.
3.4 Information You Provide
If you contact us, we may receive your name, email, phone, and message content — used solely to respond to your request.
3.5 Information We Do Not Collect
Through our games, we do not collect payment details, government IDs, precise geolocation, contacts, photos, health data, or personal contact info unless you reach out to us directly.
4. How We Use Your Information
| Purpose | Description |
|---|---|
| Service delivery | Operate and maintain games and website |
| Advertising | Display ads via Google AdMob |
| Purchases | Verify and honor IAP entitlements |
| Game experience | Save progress, settings, virtual currency |
| Improvement | Enhance gameplay, features, stability |
| Diagnostics | Fix bugs and crashes |
| Support | Respond to inquiries |

We do not sell your personal information to third parties.
5. Advertising & Tracking
5.1 Google AdMob
Our games use Google AdMob for advertising. AdMob may use device identifiers to deliver contextual or personalized ads, measure effectiveness, and prevent fraud.
We have configured AdMob to block sensitive categories (alcohol, gambling, dating, etc.). Standard tracking may still apply per Google's Privacy Policy and technology partners list.
5.2 Your Advertising Choices
| Platform | Steps |
|---|---|
| iOS | Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking |
| Android | Settings → Google → Ads → Opt out of Ads Personalization |
On iOS, apps may request permission via App Tracking Transparency (ATT) before accessing IDFA. Declining does not prevent app use — ads may be non-personalized instead.
6. Third-Party Services
| Service | Role | Privacy Policy |
|---|---|---|
| Google AdMob | Advertising & measurement | policies.google.com/privacy |
| Google Play Services | Android distribution & IAP | policies.google.com/privacy |

We do not control third-party data practices. Review their policies independently.
7. In-App Purchases
| Type | Examples |
|---|---|
| Consumables | Virtual coins, in-game currency, boosts |
| Non-consumables | "Remove Ads," permanent unlocks |

8. Log Data & Analytics
Our apps may collect diagnostic data to maintain quality:

Data is aggregated or anonymized where possible and not used to personally identify you. Apple and Google may also collect crash data per their own policies.
9. Cookies & Website Data
Our website may use cookies for basic functionality, preferences, and standard analytics (page views, referral source, browser type). Control cookies via your browser settings. Our website does not use cookies for advertising beyond what is described in this Policy.
