Data the App Handles

1) Data stored locally on your device

• The App stores gameplay-related data locally, such as your best local score and certain app state or preferences.
• This local data is stored on your device, for example through Android local storage such as SharedPreferences.
• We do not receive this local data on our own servers.

2) Google AdMob (advertising)

The App displays ads using Google AdMob. Based on the current implementation, this includes interstitial ads and rewarded ads. Google and its partners may process data in order to deliver ads, measure ad performance, limit ad frequency, detect fraud, and, where permitted, personalize advertising.

• Purpose: show ads, fund the App, measure ad performance, and prevent abuse or fraud.
• Possible data processed by Google and partners: advertising identifiers, IP address, approximate location derived from IP, device and app information, diagnostics, ad interactions, and performance data.
• Personalized advertising: where required, consent may be requested before personalized ads are shown.
• Your controls: you may be shown consent options in the App and may also manage ad personalization through your Google account or Android settings.

3) Google User Messaging Platform (consent management)

The App uses Google User Messaging Platform (UMP) to request consent and, when applicable, provide access to privacy options. This is used to help comply with applicable privacy requirements for advertising.

• Purpose: gather and manage user consent choices related to advertising.
• Privacy options: in some regions, a privacy options form may be available within the App.

4) Google Play Games Services (optional)

If you choose to sign in with Google Play Games Services, Google may process your player and leaderboard data to provide those features.

• Purpose: player sign-in, leaderboards, achievements, and related Google Play Games functionality.
• Possible data processed by Google: Player ID, display name, profile image (if any), authentication status, and submitted score data.
• Visibility: leaderboard entries and some profile data may be visible to other players according to your Google Play Games settings.

Permissions and Connectivity
