1. Information We Collect
We collect most information about you directly when you use our Game or interact with third-party ads within our Game or our ads in other publishers' games. This information is collected through SDKs (Software Development Kits) integrated into our Game. The information we collect relates to your device type, identifiers that help us recognize your device, how you use our Game, and may include information you submit when contacting us or information we access when you connect your social network accounts. We may also collect information from game store platforms, partners, and other third parties, such as your interests and in-app purchase information (though we never receive your payment or credit card details). We sometimes use third-party advertising companies to help collect this data.
Technical Information: We collect device technical information necessary to run our Game and other technical data to maintain, analyze performance, personalize content, and serve ads. This includes your device type, persistent identifiers (e.g., IP address, device identifiers, advertising identifiers), a unique user ID for our Game, and your country/region.
