This Privacy Policy applies to the Kinetic Drop Android application. It should be read together with the privacy information provided by third-party services used by the app, including Google AdMob.

03 Information stored on your device
To support gameplay, Kinetic Drop may store game-related information locally on your Android device. Depending on the features enabled in the version you use, this may include:
Game settings
Sound, music, language and other gameplay preferences.
Game progress
Completed levels, stars, best scores, in-game energy, badges, cosmetics and the number of days played.
Replays and hints
Local gameplay replay information and hint tokens earned or used during gameplay.
Advertising and privacy preferences
Ad-spacing information and privacy or consent preferences, where supported.
Diagnostics
If the app provides diagnostic information, its contents and any sharing controls should be described accurately in the version of the app you distribute.
04 Advertising and your choices
Kinetic Drop is supported by advertising provided through Google AdMob. The app may display the following formats:
Rewarded video advertisements
You may choose to watch a rewarded advertisement to receive an in-game benefit, such as a hint token. Watching a rewarded ad is optional.
Interstitial advertisements
Full-screen advertisements may appear at appropriate natural breaks, such as between completed levels. They should not interrupt active gameplay.
Information Google may process
When an ad is requested or displayed, Google and its advertising partners may process information such as:
- Android Advertising ID, where available and permitted.
- IP address.
- Device, operating system and app information.
- Ad impressions, interactions and measurement information.
- Information used to detect invalid activity and prevent advertising fraud.
The information processed depends on your device settings, consent choices, applicable laws and Google's services. We do not control Google's independent data-processing practices.
Consent and advertising preferences
In regions where consent is required, an appropriate Google-certified consent management solution may be presented before relevant advertising processing. Available choices may include consenting to personalised advertising, choosing non-personalised advertising, or managing specific purposes and vendors.
You may also be able to manage advertising preferences through your Android device settings and Google's privacy controls. The exact options and menu names vary by device and region.
Turning off personalised advertising does not necessarily remove ads; you may still receive contextual or non-personalised advertisements.

05 Optional features
Kinetic Drop may include optional features beyond core gameplay. The following descriptions apply only if these features are present in the version you distribute.
Anonymous gameplay statistics
A future statistics feature may process gameplay events such as level completion, attempts or hint usage. If introduced, the app's actual data collection, identifiers, purposes and controls will be disclosed before the feature is activated.
Online gaming features
Potential online features may include leaderboards, friend replays or online daily puzzles. If introduced, this policy will be updated to explain what information is processed, why it is needed, how long it is retained and what choices are available.
07 Children's privacy
Kinetic Drop is intended for an adult audience and is not designed or directed specifically to children under 13. We do not knowingly request personal information directly from children through the game's own functionality.
Third-party services, including advertising services, may process information under their own policies and applicable age-related requirements. If you believe a child has provided personal information through the app, please contact us so we can review the concern.

09 Data retention and deletion
Information on your device
Locally stored game information generally remains on your device until you delete it through an available in-app control, clear the app's storage, or uninstall the application. Android backup or restore features may affect this behaviour.
Information processed by Google
Google determines retention periods for information it processes through its services, subject to its policies and applicable legal requirements. Please consult Google's privacy documentation for details.

We take reasonable steps to protect information handled by the application. Android provides application-level storage isolation, and network connections to third-party services are handled using the security mechanisms provided by those services.
No method of electronic storage or transmission is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security.

Google and its advertising partners may process advertising-related information in countries other than your country of residence. International processing is subject to the applicable service terms, privacy policies and legal safeguards.
