When you sign in to our App, we collect the following information:

C. Automatically Collected Information & Advertising

The App uses third-party services that may collect information used to identify you, primarily for advertising and analytics:

  • To serve advertisements (via Google AdMob) allowing you to earn in-game rewards (e.g., tile swaps).
  • To analyze usage trends and improve the game experience.

3. How We Share Your Information

We do NOT sell your personal data. We may share your data only in the following scenarios:

  • Public Leaderboards: Your chosen username (nick), avatar, and scores are visible to all other players in the App. Your email address is never displayed publicly.

If you wish to delete your account and all associated data (including email, username, and scores), please contact us at [e.xp.erience@hotmail.com]. Upon request, we will erase your personal data from our active databases.
