By downloading, installing, accessing, or playing Flapo, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy. If you do not agree with any part of this policy, please do not use the application. --- ## 2. Information We Collect We believe in minimal data footprint ("Privacy by Design"). ### A. Information You Do NOT Need to Provide - **No Account Required:** You do not need to register, provide an email address, enter a phone number, or log in via third-party social media platforms (such as Facebook or Google Sign-In). - **No Personal Identifiers:** We never ask for or collect your real name, physical address, financial details, or government identification numbers. ### B.

Information Automatically Collected by Third-Party Ad Networks (Google AdMob) When connected to the internet, third-party advertising partners (specifically Google AdMob and Google Play Services) automatically receive certain diagnostic and advertising data required to serve advertisements and verify ad delivery: - **Device & Hardware Identifiers:** Google Advertising ID (AAID on Android), unique device identifiers, operating system version, hardware model, manufacturer, and system language. - **Location Information:** Broad, non-precise location (such as country or state level derived from IP address) to serve ads in the correct language and region. - **Ad Interaction Metrics:** Ads viewed, ad clicks, completion of Rewarded Video Ads (used to unlock in-game revives or bonus coins), and frequency capping counts. - **Diagnostics & Stability:** Application crash logs, loading latency, and ANR (Application Not Responding) events to maintain software reliability. --- ## 3. How We Use Your Information We and our third-party advertising partners use the collected information for the following legitimate purposes: 1. **Game Persistence:** Storing your high scores, unlocked skins, and completed quests on your device. 2. **Monetization & Free Availability:** Delivering banner, interstitial, and rewarded video ads so Flapo remains 100% free to install and play for everyone. 3. **Rewarded Game Features:** Verifying the full completion of optional Rewarded Video Ads to grant immediate in-game perks (such as a second-chance run revive or bonus coins). 4. **Security & Fraud Mitigation:** Detecting and preventing bot clicks, fraudulent ad interactions, and malicious behavior. 5. **Quality Assurance:** Diagnosing rendering glitches, crashes, and performance issues across various Android hardware configurations. --- ## 4. Advertising & Google AdMob Flapo integrates the official **Google Mobile Ads SDK (AdMob)**. Advertising allows us to support ongoing development without charging upfront fees or implementing pay-to-win microtransactions. ### Ad Formats Used: - **Adaptive Banners:** Docked cleanly at the bottom of the screen. - **Natural Interstitials:** Full-screen static or video ads displayed only at logical stopping points between runs, protected by frequency caps and cooldown timers to prevent spam. - **Rewarded Video Ads:** Completely optional, user-initiated video ads. You only view them if you tap the "Save Run" or "Watch Ad for Coins" buttons. Depending on your region (e.g., GDPR in the EU/UK) and device preferences, Google AdMob may serve personalized ads or non-personalized ads. --- ## 5.
