Local data is removed when you uninstall the App or clear the App's data through Android settings. ## 3. Third-Party Services The App uses certain third-party services to provide advertising and push notifications. These services may process information from your device according to their own privacy policies. ### Google AdMob The App uses **Google AdMob / Google Mobile Ads SDK** to display: - Banner advertisements - Interstitial (full-screen) advertisements - Rewarded video advertisements AdMob may collect information such as: - Advertising ID - IP address - Device information - App information - Advertising and ad interaction information - Crash and diagnostic information This information may be used to provide advertisements, measure advertising performance, prevent fraud, and personalize advertisements where permitted. The App uses Google's **User Messaging Platform (UMP)** to request consent where required, including in the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom, and other applicable regions. Where consent is required, users are given appropriate choices before applicable personalized advertising is loaded. If consent is not provided, advertisements may be non-personalized or may not be shown, depending on the applicable settings and requirements. Ad content is limited to the **"G" (General Audiences)** rating. For more information, please see Google's policies: - [Google Privacy Policy](https://policies.google.com/privacy) - [Google Advertising Technology and Ads Policy](https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads) ### Firebase Cloud Messaging The App uses **Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM)** to send push notifications, such as reminders and updates. FCM creates a device-specific registration token (FCM token) that is used to deliver notifications. The App subscribes the device to a general **"All_Users"** topic. We do not use the FCM token to identify you personally or link it to your name, email address, or other personal identity. You can disable push notifications at any time through your Android device's notification settings. For more information, please see Google's Firebase privacy information: - [Firebase Privacy and Security](https://firebase.google.com/support/privacy) ## 4.

Depending on your location and choices: - You may be asked to provide consent for personalized advertising. - You may decline consent. - Ads may be shown as non-personalized advertisements when applicable. - Ads may not be shown when required by your settings or applicable requirements. You can also manage your advertising preferences through your Android device settings, including resetting or limiting use of your advertising ID where those controls are available. ## 5. Data Security Data transmitted by third-party advertising and notification services is encrypted in transit using secure network connections such as HTTPS. We do not operate a server that stores your gameplay scores, game statistics, themes, or other local App data. However, third-party services such as Google AdMob and Firebase may independently process information as described in their respective privacy policies. ## 6. Android Permissions The App may request or use the following Android permissions: ### `INTERNET` Used to allow third-party services such as Google AdMob and Firebase Cloud Messaging to communicate over the internet. ### `POST_NOTIFICATIONS` Used to display push notifications. This permission is optional, and on supported Android versions the App asks for permission before displaying notifications. You can deny or later disable this permission through your Android device settings. ### `VIBRATE` Used to provide haptic feedback during gameplay. ## 7. Children's Privacy Chess Coordinate Trainer is **not directed specifically at children under the age of 13**. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

Your Privacy Rights Depending on where you live, you may have privacy rights under laws such as the **General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)** or the **California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA)**.

You can: - Withdraw or change applicable advertising consent through the available consent controls. - Reset or limit your Android advertising ID through Android settings. - Disable push notifications through Android settings. - Clear the App's stored data through Android settings. - Uninstall the App to remove its locally stored game data.

Information processed by third-party services such as Google AdMob and Firebase is subject to those services' respective data retention policies. ## 11. Changes to This Privacy Policy We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to the App, third-party services, legal requirements, or our privacy practices. When we make changes, we will update the **"Last Updated"** date at the top of this Privacy Policy. You should review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes. ## 12.
