1. COLLECTION OF YOUR INFORMATION

We may collect information about you in a variety of ways. The information we may collect via the Application depends on the content and materials you use, and includes:

  • Our Application uses Google AdMob for advertising. AdMob may collect and use advertising identifiers (like Google Advertising ID on Android or IDFA on iOS, if permission is granted) to serve personalized or non-personalized ads.
  • This may include information about your device, ads viewed, and interactions with those ads.
