This information may be used to display personalized or non-personalized advertisements, measure advertising performance, and prevent fraud.

The collection and processing of information by advertising providers is governed by their respective privacy policies.

These services may collect technical and usage information, including:

• App interactions
• Device type

This information helps us understand app performance and improve reliability.

6. Third-Party Services

Depending on the version and features of the App, we may use third-party services including:

These services operate according to their own privacy policies.

Users are encouraged to review the privacy policies of these third-party providers for more information about how they process data.

7. Permissions

Snakes & Ladders is designed to require only permissions that are necessary for the functionality of the App.

The App does not require access to your contacts, messages, phone calls, or personal files for normal gameplay.

If additional permissions are introduced for optional features in future versions, they will be requested only when required and will be explained within the App.

8. Game AI and Local Multiplayer

Snakes & Ladders may provide computer-controlled opponents using built-in game logic or artificial intelligence.

Local Pass & Play functionality allows multiple players to play on the same device. Player information entered during local gameplay is used only to provide the game experience.

Information may be processed or shared with third-party service providers only when necessary to:

• Provide app functionality
• Display advertisements
• Analyze app performance
• Diagnose crashes and technical issues
• Prevent fraud or misuse
• Comply with applicable laws and legal requirements

We may also disclose information when necessary to protect our legal rights, users, or the security of the App.

10. Data Security

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information associated with the App.

Most gameplay information is stored locally on your device.

However, no method of electronic storage, processing, or transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Therefore, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

11. Children's Privacy

Snakes & Ladders is intended to provide family-friendly entertainment.

We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children through our own servers.

If third-party advertising or analytics services are used, their collection practices and child-related policies may apply.

• The right to access information
• The right to request correction
• The right to request deletion
• The right to object to certain processing
• The right to withdraw consent where applicable

Because much of the App's data is stored locally, you can manage or delete this information directly from your device.

13. Data Retention and Deletion

Since most game-related information is stored locally, you can generally delete it by:

• Clearing the App's storage/data through Android settings
• Uninstalling the App

Information processed by third-party services may be retained according to their respective policies and applicable legal requirements.

14. International Data Processing

Some third-party service providers may process information on servers located in countries other than your country of residence.

Where applicable, such processing is carried out according to the provider's privacy policies and applicable data protection laws.

15. Changes to This Privacy Policy
