### 2. Information We Collect and Process
8-Bit Odessey does not require you to create an account, register with your real name, or provide contact details to play. However, the game utilizes trusted third-party SDKs and Google Play Services that may automatically collect certain technical data:
#### A. Device and Diagnostic Information
* **Technical identifiers:** Device model, operating system version, screen resolution, language settings, and network state (WiFi / Cellular).
* **Diagnostic & Crash Data:** Crash logs and performance metrics to help us fix bugs and optimize frame rates.
#### B. Advertising Identifier (Google Advertising ID / AD_ID)
* Our game displays third-party advertisements (such as banner ads, interstitial ads, and rewarded video ads that allow you to revive your ship).
* Ad networks collect the **Google Advertising ID (AAID)** to serve ads, measure ad performance, prevent fraud, and—subject to your consent—deliver personalized advertisements.
#### C. In-App Purchase Records
* If you purchase digital goods (such as removing ads or acquiring in-game items), all financial transactions are processed securely and directly by the **Google Play Store**.
* We do **not** receive, store, or have access to your credit card, debit card, or banking details. We only receive verification tokens from Google Play confirming that a transaction succeeded.
#### D. Leaderboards & Achievements
* If you sign in to **Google Play Games Services**, your gameplay scores, achievements, and leaderboard standings are managed according to your Google account preferences.
