Information Collection

When you use our service, we may collect certain information through the Google AdMob software development kit (SDK) to deliver personalized ads and improve our app. This information may include, but is not limited to, the following:

• Unique device identifiers (such as advertising IDs or other identifiers assigned to your device), including the Identifier for Advertisers (IDFA) on iOS devices
• IP address
• Device information (such as device type, operating system version, and mobile network information)
• General location information (based on IP address or other available location data)
• App usage and interaction data (such as the frequency and duration of app usage, interactions with ads, and in-app purchases)
• User properties (such as age, gender, language, interests, and new/established status)
• App-related data (such as app store, app version, device brand, device category, device model, and OS version)
• First open time (the time of the first launch of the app)
• By using the Google AdMob SDK, events are also automatically collected. More information about which events are collected can be found here: https://support.google.com/admob/answer/9755157

Please note that we do not directly collect or store any personal information such as your name, email address, or contact details. All the information collected through Google AdMob is used solely for advertising purposes and improve our app.

Ad Personalization

We may use the information collected via Google AdMob to personalize the ads you see within our app, providing you with a more tailored advertising experience. Please note that these third-party services have their own privacy policies, and we encourage you to review them to understand how they collect, use, and disclose your information. We do not have control over the data collection practices of these third-party services. Read about their privacy policy here: https://support.google.com/admob/answer/6128543

App Improvement

In addition to ad personalization, we also analyze the collected user metrics to improve our app’s functionality, performance, and user experience. This analysis helps us identify areas for enhancement, address bugs and crashes, and introduce new features.

Opt-out Options

We provide multiple opt-out options for users of our apps and games to ensure control over the collection and use of their information:

Opt-out of all information collection by uninstalling the Application

You have the ability to stop all collection of information by our apps and games by uninstalling them. You can use the standard uninstall processes available on your mobile device. If you uninstall the app, all data collection associated with it will be stopped.

Activating “Do Not Track Settings” on device

We strive to respect user preferences regarding tracking and personalized advertising; however, we cannot guarantee compliance on behalf of advertising service providers. While some providers may offer additional opt-out mechanisms, we do not guarantee the accuracy or completeness of the information provided prior to opting out.
By enabling the “Limit Ad Tracking” option on your iOS device or the “Opt Out of Interest-Based Ads” option on your Android device, you can restrict the delivery of interest-based ads. Please note that although you may still see ads on your mobile device, they may be less relevant as they will not be based on your interests. Our advertising partners may continue to deliver ads based on non-personal information, such as the content of the application you are using.
To access these settings on your mobile device, please refer to the instructions provided by your device manufacturer.

Data Retention

We retain the user information collected via Google AdMob for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.

Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect the information collected via Google AdMob against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. We prioritize data security and follow industry best practices.

Children’s Privacy

Our Services are not intended for children.

We have implemented an age-gate for our app to verify the age of the users. While you may not meet the age requirement for providing valid consent for targeted and behavioral advertising, you can still access our Services. However, please note that in such cases, our Services will not include any behavioral or targeted advertising. Instead, you will only encounter contextual advertising that is relevant to the content you are engaging with.

To ensure compliance with children’s privacy laws, we inform Google that the ad requests are specifically intended for children. However, it is important to note that once the data is passed on to Google, we have no control over how they handle and process it. We rely on Google’s commitment to adhering to applicable privacy regulations and guidelines in handling the data received from our app. Therefore, we recommend reviewing Google’s privacy policies and practices to understand how they handle and protect user data in compliance with children’s privacy laws.

California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA)

For users located in the U.S. states of California, Virginia, Colorado (effective June 2023), Connecticut (effective June 2023) and Utah (effective November 2023), we have configured Google AdMob to automatically process the data in a restricted manner, in accordance with the respective state privacy laws. We recommend reviewing Google’s privacy policies to understand how they handle user data and to exercise any rights you may have under the CPRA or other applicable privacy laws.
