Our Advertising Approach

BallSort Go is designed to respect your gameplay and relaxation experience. Ads are:

Ads may appear only when an internet connection is available.

AdMob Data Collection

Google AdMob may collect limited advertising-related information, including:

• Google Advertising ID (GAID)

• Device and app interaction data

• Approximate location derived from IP address

• Ad performance and diagnostic information
