To identify and display your high scores and leaderboard rankings in the game.
We do not store, share, or use any other personal information for any other purpose.

3. Data Retention
We do not retain any personal data on our servers. The data related to your scores and rankings is stored and managed by Google Play Games Services for leaderboard functionality. If you choose to disconnect from Google Play Games, your scores and data may no longer be linked to your Google account.

4. Third-Party Services
Our game utilizes the Google Play Games Services API for signing in and interacting with the leaderboards. Google Play’s privacy practices govern the data collected through their services. You can review Google's privacy policy here: Google Privacy Policy.
