Information we collect

Data	Purpose	Required?
Anonymous device ID (via Firebase Authentication)	Identify your device so your score and coins persist between sessions	Yes, automatic
In-game display name and best score	Show your name and rank on the weekly contest leaderboard	Yes, automatic
WhatsApp number	Contact you if you win a weekly contest prize	Optional — only if you enter it
Advertising identifier	Serve banner, interstitial, and rewarded ads via Google AdMob	Automatic while ads are shown
Push notification token	Notify you when a new weekly contest starts	Automatic if notifications are allowed

We do not collect your name, email address, or any government ID. We do not require you to create an account or sign in with a password to play.

How we use your information

To run the weekly contest leaderboard and determine winners fairly.
To contact contest winners about their prize, using the contact info they voluntarily provided.
To detect and prevent cheating or fraudulent scores (via Google Play Integrity / Firebase App Check).
To show ads through Google AdMob, which may use your advertising identifier to personalize ads based on Google's own ad policies.

The App uses the following third-party services, each with its own privacy policy:

Firebase (Authentication, Firestore database, Cloud Functions, Cloud Messaging, Storage) — Google LLC
Google AdMob — Google LLC

Data sharing

We do not sell your information. We share data only with the service providers above, strictly to operate the App and contest, and with the contest winner's own WhatsApp contact when arranging prize delivery (visible only to us, not other players).

Data retention and deletion

Your anonymous game data is retained as long as you have the App installed. To request deletion of your data (including any WhatsApp number you provided), email us at nareshmahour3@gmail.com with your in-game display name, and we'll remove it within a reasonable time.

Children's privacy

The App is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.
