a) Device and Identifier Information
This includes mobile advertising identifiers (such as Google Advertising ID on Android or IDFA on iOS), IP address, device model, operating system version, language settings, time zone, and installation-specific identifiers.
Third-party advertising SDKs (including Google AdMob, AppLovin/MAX, BidMachine, Mintegral, Pangle, Unity Ads, Liftoff/Vungle, Bigo Ads, Meta Audience Network, and InMobi) may collect similar information to deliver and measure advertisements. Approximate location may be inferred from IP addresses.
b) Usage and Gameplay Data
We collect information about how you interact with our Games, such as gameplay progress, session duration, levels completed, in-game actions, and performance data. Diagnostic information like crash reports and error logs may also be collected to improve stability and performance.
Advertising partners may collect data related to ad impressions, clicks, and engagement.
