This Privacy Policy describes how Shadow Escape ("we", "our", or "the App") collects, uses, and shares information when you use our mobile application.

1. Information We Collect

Shadow Escape is a platformer game that does not require user accounts or personal information to play. However, we may collect:

• Game Progress: Your game level completion, scores, and preferences are stored locally on your device

1.2 Automatically Collected Information

When you use our App, we may automatically collect:

• Device Information: Device model, operating system version, unique device identifiers
• Usage Data: App interactions, game sessions, and performance metrics
• Advertising Data: Information collected by third-party advertising partners (see Section 3)

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the collected information for the following purposes:

• To provide and maintain the game functionality
• To save your game progress and preferences locally on your device
• To display personalized advertisements through Google AdMob
• To analyze app performance and improve user experience
• To detect and prevent technical issues

3. Third-Party Services

3.1 Google AdMob

Shadow Escape uses Google AdMob to display advertisements. AdMob may collect and use information about you to provide personalized ads. This may include:

• Device identifiers (Advertising ID)
• IP address

• Location information (if you grant permission)

AdMob's use of data is governed by the Google Privacy Policy.

4. Data Storage and Security

Your game progress and preferences are stored locally on your device using secure storage mechanisms. We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your information, but please note that no method of electronic storage is 100% secure.

5. Data Retention

Game progress data is stored on your device until you uninstall the app or clear app data. Third-party services like AdMob retain data according to their own policies.

6. Children's Privacy

Shadow Escape does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 years of age. The app may contain advertisements served by Google AdMob, which complies with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) when showing ads to children.

If you believe we have inadvertently collected information from a child under 13, please contact us immediately.

7. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have certain rights regarding your data:

• Access to the information we collect
• Correction of inaccurate data
• Deletion of your data
• Restriction of processing
• Data portability
• Objection to processing

Since most data is stored locally on your device, you can delete it by clearing app data or uninstalling the app.

8. International Data Transfers

Your information may be transferred to and processed in countries other than your own. By using the App, you consent to the transfer of information to countries outside of your country of residence, which may have different data protection rules.
