## 1. Introduction
Welcome to **Car Rumble** ("the Game", "we", "our", or "us"), developed by **Rupa Developers**. We respect the privacy of our users ("you", "player") and are committed to protecting it through our compliance with this policy.
This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you download, install, and play Car Rumble on Android devices.
By using or playing Car Rumble, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with this policy, please do not use our game.

## 2. Information We Collect
### A. Information You Provide Directly
**Car Rumble does not require you to register an account, log in, or provide any Personally Identifiable Information (PII)** such as your name, email address, physical address, or phone number to play the game.
### B. Locally Stored Game Data
All your game progression and preferences are stored **locally on your device** using Android's local storage mechanisms (`SharedPreferences`). This includes:
- High scores and current score
- Collected coin balance
- Selected and unlocked car skins
- Selected and unlocked road themes
- Audio settings (sound effects, music volume, vibration)
- Selected language preference
- 24-hour temporary unlock timestamps for rewarded ad features
*None of this gameplay data is transmitted to our private servers, because we do not operate a private database or backend server for this game.*
### C. Automatically Collected Information (Third-Party Services)
While we do not directly collect personal information, the game integrates third-party services (such as Google AdMob and Google Play Services) that may automatically collect certain device and usage data for advertising, performance, and fraud prevention purposes:
- **Device Information:** Device model, operating system version, screen resolution, mobile network information, and unique device identifiers (e.g., Google Advertising ID / GAID).
- **Usage Data:** Ad interaction data (views, clicks, impressions), session timestamps, and crash logs.
- **Location Information:** General, non-precise location (such as country or city derived from IP address) used to serve relevant regional advertisements.

## 3. Third-Party Services & Advertising
Car Rumble uses third-party service providers to display advertisements and support game features. These third parties have access to your information only to perform specific tasks on our behalf and are obligated not to disclose or use it for any other purpose.
### Google AdMob & Google Play Services
We use **Google AdMob** to display ads within the game (Banner ads, Interstitial ads, and Rewarded Video ads). Google AdMob may use device identifiers and advertising cookies to show ads tailored to your interests or non-personalized ads depending on your consent and device settings.
To learn more about how Google collects and uses your data, please review:
- [Google Privacy Policy](https://policies.google.com/privacy)
- [How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services](https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites)
- [Google AdMob Privacy & Terms](https://support.google.com/admob/answer/6128543)

## 4. Permissions Requested
The game requests only the essential Android permissions required to function and serve advertisements:
- **`android.permission.INTERNET`**: Required to load advertisements from Google AdMob and verify network connectivity for ad rewards.
- **`android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE`**: Required to check if an active internet connection is available before attempting to fetch advertisements.
The game **does not** request access to your contacts, camera, microphone, photos/media storage, precise GPS location, or phone state.
---
## 5. Rewarded Ads & 24-Hour Temporary Unlocks
Car Rumble offers players the option to watch a voluntary rewarded video advertisement to temporarily unlock premium car skins or road themes for a period of 24 hours:
- The expiration timestamp for any temporary unlock is stored solely on your device.
- Watching rewarded ads is entirely optional; players can also play and unlock items through gameplay coin collection.
---
## 6. Children's Privacy (COPPA & GDPR-K Compliance)
Protecting the privacy of children is especially important to us:
- Car Rumble is designed for general audiences and does not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under the age of 13 (or under 16 in the European Union).
- If you are a parent or guardian and believe that your child has provided personal information to a third-party service through our application, please contact us at **support@trafficdodgegame.com**, and we will promptly take steps to address the issue.
---
## 7. Data Retention, Security & User Controls
### Data Security
Because all your game progress is stored locally on your own device, your data is as secure as your device itself. We recommend keeping your Android OS updated and utilizing device lock protections.
### User Data Reset & Control
- **Reset In-Game Data:** You can reset your unlocked skins at any time via the in-game Settings screen.
- **Complete Data Deletion:** To permanently delete all local game data, you can clear the game's data/cache via your device's **Settings > Apps > Car Rumble > Storage > Clear Data**, or simply uninstall the game.
- **Opting Out of Personalized Advertising:** You can opt out of interest-based ads or reset your Google Advertising ID on your Android device by visiting:
- **Settings > Google > Ads > Reset advertising ID** or **Delete advertising ID**.

## 8. International Data Transfers
The third-party service providers we employ (such as Google LLC) may store and process data on servers located outside your country of residence. These companies comply with applicable data protection frameworks and standard contractual clauses.

## 9. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or applicable laws. Any updates will become effective upon posting the revised Privacy Policy:
- Updates will be accessible within the game under **Settings > Privacy Policy**.
- We encourage you to review this policy periodically for any changes.
