This page is used to inform visitors regarding our policies with the collection, use, and disclosure of Personal Information if anyone decided to use our Service.
If you choose to use our Service, then you agree to the collection and use of information in relation to this policy.

Collection of information
Our top priority is customer data security and, as such. We process only minimal user data using a third party service called Firebase Analytics, only as much as it is absolutely necessary to maintain and improve the Mobile Application or Services. Information collected automatically is used only to identify potential cases of abuse and establish statistical information regarding Mobile Application traffic and usage. This statistical information is not otherwise aggregated in such a way that would identify any particular “user” of the system.
We want to inform you that whenever you use our Service, in a case of an error in the app we collect data and information through third party product called Firebase Crashlytics. This may include information such as your device name, operating system version, the configuration of the app when utilising my Service, the time and date of your use of the Service, and other statistics.
You can visit the Mobile Application without telling us who you are or revealing any information by which someone could identify you as a specific, identifiable individual. This is majorly to use our services/application in offline mode or non logged in mode.
However, if you wish to log-in to the application and play in online mode, the authentication for sign-in would be done through third party product called Firebase Authentication. After authentication the details provided by you are maintained through third party product called Firebase Cloud Firestore.
This app includes Google Mobile Ads SDK- AdMob for serving ads in the app, which utilises Apple's advertising identifier introduced in iOS 6 (IDFA). The SDK use IDFA under the guidelines laid out in the iOS developer program license agreement, including Limit Ad Tracking.
The app does use third party services that may collect information used to identify you as any other user in general and not you in person.
