• Game records: scores, rounds reached, settings, items collected, and purchase status. Stored on your device and used to run the game and show rankings.
• Game user identifier (Toss version only): an anonymous identifier that Toss issues for this game. Used to keep records from getting mixed up when several Toss accounts are used on one device. We do not receive information such as your name or phone number.

• Advertising identifier and device information: advertising ID (ADID/IDFA), device model, operating system, language, and IP address. Used to show ads and measure ad performance, and collected directly by the ad provider.
• Usage records: gameplay records such as tutorial completion, rounds reached, ads watched, and errors. Used to improve the game and handled in a form that cannot identify who you are.
