Information We Collect:

The App itself does not directly collect any personally identifiable information from you, such as your name, address, or phone number. However, the App uses the Google Mobile Ads SDK ("AdMob"), which collects certain information automatically to serve and measure ads. The information collected by AdMob may include:

• Device identifiers: Such as the Android advertising ID and app set ID.

• IP address: Used to estimate general location.

• Performance data: Such as crash logs and diagnostic information.

How We Use Information:

The information collected by AdMob is used for the following purposes:

• Serving personalized ads.

• Measuring ad performance.

• Preventing fraud and improving ad quality.
