Your privacy matters. This app does not collect or share any personally identifiable information such as your name, email or exact location. The app only uses data necessary for advertising, in-app purchases and saving your gameplay progress.

2. Information We Collect

A. Data Sent to Google (AdMob) and Mediation Partners

We use Google AdMob to display ads within the game. For users in the EU/EEA, we use Google's User Messaging Platform (UMP) to obtain GDPR consent before showing personalised ads. AdMob may automatically collect the following data to deliver and measure ads:

• Device ID / IDFA (advertising identifier, with your consent via App Tracking Transparency)
• IP address
• Device type, OS version, and locale
• App bundle ID
• Ad interaction data (clicks, impressions, video completions)
• User's age range and gender (if available)

Purpose: To serve personalised or contextual ads, track ad performance and detect fraud.
Provider: Google LLC

We also use Unity Ads as an AdMob mediation partner. Unity Ads may collect similar device and ad interaction data to serve ads.
Provider: Unity Technologies

• Product ID, purchase amount, and timestamp
• Device identifier
• App bundle ID
• Your Apple ID (anonymized to us - we never see it)

Purpose: To process and validate in-app purchases securely.

If server-side features are added in future updates, we may securely send limited gameplay data such as:

• Player progress or game state
• Purchase receipts for verification
• Optional account or sync data

Purpose: To sync progress across devices, restore purchases, and prevent fraud. This data is never sold or shared with third parties.

• Your questions are sent to third-party AI services for processing
• No personal information is required or collected to use the AI assistant
• Conversations are processed in real-time and are not stored by us or the AI providers
• AI responses are generated based solely on game-related knowledge
