Personal Data we may collect or use
- When you download an app, you receive all information shared with us by the relevant app marketplace.
- When you contact us, we process the personal data you provide to us, such as your name, email address and any questions or issues you raise (collectively, "Contact Information").
When you use the App, some information about your device may be processed automatically. This information is generally not personally identifiable and is only accessible in aggregate form. This information is processed based on our legitimate interest in improving the app and providing the best possible experience for our users. Otherwise, we may not be able to provide all requested services and app functionality. Examples of such information:
- App Usage Data – While using our Services, we may collect anonymous app data, session frequency and duration, level passes, purchases, errors, and other events. The purpose of these statistics is to improve our app and enhance your overall app experience.
- Technical Data - We may also collect anonymous data such as IP address, device operating system, language, hardware type.
- Identification Data - such as a unique device ID (persistent/non-persistent) to serve the anti-cheat system in the application
- Collection of Search Queries - Our app anonymously collects users' search queries in order to improve the services we provide. We do not collect personally identifiable information with search queries, nor do we use search queries to identify or track individual users. Instead, we use this data to understand how users interact with our app and improve the overall performance of our search functionality. This data helps us understand, for example, which search terms are used most frequently and how we can make these search results more relevant to our users.
These types of data are usually anonymous and can not be associated or connected with you.
These types of data are typically anonymous and cannot be linked or associated.
