Introduction

Muhammed Yusuf Ergün ("we," "us," or "our") operates the "Math Puzzle - Cross" mobile application (hereinafter referred to as the "Service").

This Privacy Policy is intended to inform you about our policies regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of data when you use our Service. The privacy of our users is of utmost importance to us. This policy outlines how we handle information to provide and improve the Service.

This Service appeals to a broad audience, offering brain-training puzzles suitable for users of all ages, including children and adults.

By using the Service, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

Information Collection and Use

While we do not require you to provide personal contact information (such as email or phone number) directly to us for registration, the Service utilizes third-party services and servers that may collect, process, and transmit specific information to ensure the functionality of the game (such as, cloud saves and leaderboards).

Third-Party Data Collection and Services

To provide features like advertisements, analytics, and cloud saves, we work with third-party service providers. These providers may access certain information from your device.

1. Google AdMob (Advertising)

Our Service uses Google AdMob to display advertisements. AdMob is an advertising service provided by Google Inc. AdMob may collect and use data to serve personalized or non-personalized ads. This data may include:

• Device Information and Identifiers (e.g., Advertising ID).

• General Location Information (derived from IP address).

• Ad Interaction Data.

For users identified as children via our age gate, we explicitly request non-personalized ads by passing the specific tag for child-directed treatment to Google. This ensures that no data is used to build user profiles for advertising purposes.

2. Google Analytics for Firebase (Analytics)

We use Google Analytics for Firebase to understand how users interact with our Service. This helps us improve the game experience, fix bugs, and optimize performance. Firebase may collect:

• Events: Level completions, game over stats, screen views, and button clicks.

• Device Data: Device model, operating system version, and country.

• User Properties: Session duration and retention data.
  This data is aggregated and anonymized to help us make data-driven decisions.

3. Google Play Games Services (Social & Progress)

We use Google Play Games Services to provide features such as:

• Sign-in: To authenticate you securely.

• Leaderboards & Achievements: To compare your scores with other players.

• Cloud Save: To save your game progress (levels, stats, currency) to the cloud so you can continue on other devices.

• Data Processed: Your Gamer ID, Avatar, and Display Name.

4. RevenueCat (In-App Purchases)

We use RevenueCat to manage in-app purchase infrastructure. While Google Play handles the financial transaction securely, RevenueCat processes purchase receipts to ensure you receive the items (e.g., Removal of Ads, Tickets, Hints) you bought.

For more information on how Google collects and processes data, please review Google's Privacy & Terms page:

• https://policies.google.com/privacy

• https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads

• https://firebase.google.com/policies/analytics

Server Communication and Updates

Our Service connects to our servers strictly to check for application updates. This ensures you have the latest version of the game with the most recent bug fixes and improvements.

• Purpose: To verify if a newer version of the application is available on the Google Play Store.

• Data Processed: Only technical data such as the current App Version and Device Operating System are used for this check.

• No Personal Data: This process is completely anonymous. No personal user information, gameplay data, or IP addresses are stored or tracked during these server checks.

Children's Privacy

Our Service is designed for a mixed audience, including both children and adults. To ensure the protection of minors, we implement an age verification screen ("Age Gate") upon the first launch of the application.

For users identified as children (under the age of 13, or the relevant age of digital consent in their jurisdiction):

• No Personal Data Collection: We do not collect personal contact information (such as name, email, phone number) or precise location data.

• Restricted Advertising: We configure our advertising partners (Google AdMob) to serve only "Family-Friendly" ads. We implement the tag_for_child_directed_treatment flag, which disables interest-based advertising and behavioral tracking (IDFA/AAID are not used for tracking).

Third-Party Services: We ensure that third-party SDKs used in the app are compliant with COPPA and GDPR-K regulations when interacting with child users.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe that we have inadvertently collected personal information from your child in a manner not permitted by law, please contact us at astroconsolegames@gmail.com, and we will promptly remove such information.

User Rights and Data Control

You have control over the data collected by our third-party partners:

• Opting out of Personalized Advertising: You can opt-out via your device settings (Android: Settings > Google > Ads).

• Google Play Games: You can manage your Play Games profile and data visibility in the "Google Play Games" app settings on your device.

• Analytics: You can usually opt-out of analytics tracking through device settings regarding usage and diagnostics.

Data Security

The security of your data is important to us. We rely on the robust security measures implemented by our partners (Google, Firebase, RevenueCat) to protect the data they process. However, please remember that no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure.

Links to Other Sites

Our Service may contain links to other sites (e.g., within advertisements). We advise you to review the Privacy Policy of any third-party site you visit. We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content or practices of third-party sites.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page. Changes are effective immediately upon posting.

If you have any questions or suggestions about this Privacy Policy, do not hesitate to contact us.
