1. INFORMATION WE COLLECT

The App does not require you to create an account or provide any personal information to use it. All game progress and settings are stored locally on your device and are not transmitted to our servers.

We do not directly collect any personal data. However, third-party services integrated into the App may collect certain information automatically, as described below.

3. AD PERSONALIZATION


You can opt out of personalized advertising by adjusting your device settings:

5. CHILDREN'S PRIVACY


Our App does not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13. The App is designed to be suitable for general audiences. If you are a parent or guardian and believe that your child has provided personal information through third-party services, please contact us so that we can take appropriate action.


We comply with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and similar regulations. The advertisements shown in the App are configured to comply with applicable regulations regarding children's privacy.


6. DATA SECURITY


We value your trust and strive to use commercially acceptable means of protecting your information. Since all game data is stored locally on your device, the security of this data depends on your device's security settings. We recommend using device-level security features such as screen locks and encryption.


7. LINKS TO OTHER SITES


Our App may contain links to external sites (such as our Play Store listing). These external sites are not operated by us. We strongly advise you to review the privacy policy of any external site you visit.

9. 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 within the App. Changes are effective immediately after they are posted.


10. YOUR RIGHTS


Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have certain rights regarding your data, including:

- The right to access information collected about you

- The right to request deletion of your data
