However, third-party services such as Google AdMob may independently collect and process certain device, advertising, diagnostic, and usage information as part of providing advertising services.

Google requires publishers using its advertising products to disclose relevant data collection, sharing, and use practices in their privacy policies.

Advertising-related data may be retained and processed by Google according to Google's own policies and retention practices.

We do not control the retention periods used by Google or other third-party advertising providers.

8. Data Deletion

Because the App does not require an account, there is no user account maintained by us that requires account deletion.

You can delete locally stored App information by using available deletion or reset functions within the App, clearing the App's storage through Android settings, or uninstalling the App.

Please note that deleting the App does not necessarily delete information that may already have been independently collected or retained by third-party services such as Google AdMob. Such information is subject to the relevant third party's policies and available privacy controls.

Google Play requires developers to accurately disclose their data deletion practices and, where applicable, provide mechanisms for users to request deletion of collected data.

We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children.

If you believe that a child has provided personal information to us, please contact us so that we can investigate and take appropriate action.

Advertising services may apply their own child-directed treatment and advertising policies.

We take reasonable measures to protect information handled by the App.

Information stored locally is protected by the security mechanisms provided by the user's Android device and operating system.

However, no electronic storage or transmission method can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
