The Google Mobile Ads SDK may automatically collect and share
information such as IP addresses, user product interactions, diagnostic
information, and device/account identifiers for purposes including
advertising, analytics, and fraud prevention.
The personalization of advertisements and the manner in which data is
processed may vary depending on the user’s country or region, applicable
law, device settings, consent choices, and the advertising configuration

The Application and third-party SDKs used within it may use SDKs, device
identifiers, and similar technologies for service delivery, advertising,
analytics, security, and performance measurement.
Where required by applicable law, the necessary permission or consent
will be obtained before non-essential data processing or tracking
activities take place.
6. THIRD-PARTY SERVICE PROVIDERS
The Application may use third-party services to provide and improve its
functionality. These service providers may process certain user or
device information under their own privacy policies and terms of
service.
The primary third-party services used by the Application include:
• Google AdMob / Google Mobile Ads SDK • Unity
Data transferred to third-party service providers is not necessarily
limited to anonymous or aggregated information. As described above,

relevant service providers as part of the operation of their SDKs.
The Service Provider may also disclose information where necessary:

security of users or others; • To investigate fraud or misuse; • To
trusted service providers acting on behalf of the Service Provider, to
the extent necessary to provide their services.
7. INTERNATIONAL DATA TRANSFERS
Information processed by the Application or third-party service
providers may be transferred to servers or service providers located
outside the user’s country of residence.
Where required by applicable law, international data transfers may rely
on Standard Contractual Clauses, adequacy decisions, user consent, or
other legally recognized transfer mechanisms.
8. DATA RETENTION
The Service Provider retains personal information under its direct
control only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described
in this policy and to comply with applicable legal obligations.
Retention periods for information processed by third-party SDKs and
service providers may be subject to the policies and configurations of
those third parties.
Anonymous information, or information that can no longer reasonably be
associated with an identifiable individual, may be retained for longer
periods where permitted by applicable law.
9. DATA SECURITY
The Service Provider applies reasonable technical and organizational
measures designed to protect information under its control against
unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.

storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

previously transmitted to third-party service providers. Information
retained by third parties may be subject to the privacy controls and
policies of those providers.
11. ADVERTISING IDENTIFIERS AND USER CHOICES
Android users may be able to reset or delete their advertising
identifier and manage supported advertising personalization preferences

user choices may be collected and applied for advertising and related
data-processing activities.

children or minors under the laws of certain countries or regions. If
the user’s country requires a higher minimum age or parental/legal
guardian authorization for the processing of personal information or use
of online services, the applicable legal requirements will be followed.
The Service Provider does not intend to knowingly collect personal
information from individuals below the applicable minimum age in
violation of applicable law.
If a parent or legal guardian believes that an individual below the
applicable minimum age has provided personal information through the
Application, they may contact the Service Provider at

and deletion measures will be taken.

the basis of consent, performance of a contract, legitimate interests,
compliance with a legal obligation, or another lawful basis available

Where processing is based on consent, users may withdraw their consent
at any time. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of
processing carried out before the withdrawal.

Provider will notify affected users and/or competent authorities where
required by applicable law.
