The App may offer rewarded ads. This means that you may choose to watch an advertisement in exchange for an in-game reward.

Rewards from rewarded ads may include virtual in-game benefits such as:

These rewards are part of the game only. They are not real money, have no cash value and cannot be exchanged for real-world money, goods or services.

limited ads,
or no ads if ads cannot be requested.

Personalized ads may use information such as advertising identifiers, app activity, device information and other signals permitted by your consent and applicable law.

Non-personalized ads are not based on your advertising profile, but they may still use contextual information, approximate location, device information, frequency capping, aggregated reporting and fraud prevention.

For users in regions where consent is required, including the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland, the App may ask for consent before requesting certain types of ads.

5. Consent management

The App may use Google's User Messaging Platform or another consent management mechanism to request, store and update your advertising consent choices where required by law.

You may be asked whether you consent to the use of your personal data for advertising purposes, including personalized ads and related processing.

Your choices may affect the type of ads shown in the App.
