related to signed-in accounts on the device.

Please refer to the "Payments privacy and policy" section for further information on the use of the IP address.

How we use your information

The information collected through the use of AdMob is used for advertising, analytics, and fraud prevention purposes. AdMob uses this information to serve relevant ads, measure ad performance, and detect and prevent fraudulent activity.

+ The IP address may be used to estimate the general location of a device, such as the country or city.

Advertisements

+ Our game is free and supported by advertisements. We may display ads within the game, including personalized ads based on your interest and behavior. You can opt out of personalized advertising by following these steps:

- Go to your device settings.
- Go to "Google" settings.
- In the "Ads" section, choose "Reset advertising ID" or "Delete advertising ID".

Please note that opting out of personalized ads does not mean you will no longer receive ads, but they may be less relevant to your interests.

+ If you prefer not to see any ads in the game, you can purchase our "No Ads" product. For more information, please refer to the "Payments privacy and policy" section.

+ EEA and UK users: If you are a user in the European Economic Area (EEA) or the United Kingdom (UK), you have the right to control your ad preferences. In the game's main menu, go to "Settings" and tap on the "Ads Settings" option to change your preferences.

Payments privacy and policy

+ Our game offers a "No Ads" in-app product that provides an ad-free experience and gives you access to all hints in the game. We use the Google Play billing system to process payments for this product. The only information we receive from the billing system is whether you have purchased the product or not.

+ The "No Ads" product is available in most locations. We determine your country using the SIM card. However, if the SIM card information is not available, we will utilize a third-party service to determine your country (and state if you are in the US). Please note that this service does not collect or share any information.

+ Our game is designed to be short, and users can complete it in less than three hours. As a result, we do not offer refunds for purchases of the "No Ads" product.
