1. Information We Collect

To provide a better experience, we use several third-party services that may collect information used to identify you.

• Firebase Authentication: We collect your email address or unique ID (UID) if you sign in to use online features. If you use anonymous sign-in, a unique identifier is assigned to your device.
• Firebase Realtime Database: We store game-related data (scores, room codes, moves) to enable multiplayer functionality.
• Google Mobile Ads (AdMob): Our App uses AdMob to display advertisements. AdMob may collect device identifiers and usage data to personalize ads and for analytics.

2. How We Use Information

We use the collected data for various purposes:

• To provide and maintain the App's functionality.
• To manage your account (online play).
• To provide multiplayer matchmaking and gameplay synchronization.
• To display advertisements and provide rewarded content.
• To monitor usage and improve the App.

3. Third-Party Service Providers

We employ third-party companies and services for infrastructure and advertising. These third parties have their own privacy policies addressing how they use such information:

• Google Privacy Policy (Covers Firebase and AdMob)
• How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services

4. Children's Privacy

Our App does not specifically target children under 13, but since it is a game, children may use it. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your child has provided us with personal data, please contact us.

5. Security

The security of your data is important to us. We use Firebase services which provide industry-standard security measures for data storage and authentication.
