2. Information We Collect
We do not require you to create an account, and we do not directly ask for your name, email address, phone number, or home address to play. However, the game uses third-party services that may automatically collect the following information:

Our advertising provider, Google AdMob, may collect or process:
- Advertising identifiers (such as the Android Advertising ID)
- IP address and approximate location inferred from the IP address
- Device information (device model, operating system version, language, and similar technical data)
- Information about ad interactions and ad performance (impressions, clicks, and similar events)

2.3 Purchase Information
Waterway Blocks may offer optional one-time in-app purchases. Purchases are processed by Google Play. Google Play handles your payment details, and we do not receive or store your payment card information. We may receive purchase confirmation data (such as product ID and purchase status) so we can unlock the items you bought and restore them on request.
2.4 Data Stored on Your Device
Game progress, settings, and purchase status may be stored locally on your device.
3. Advertising
Waterway Blocks uses Google AdMob to display advertisements, which may include:
- Interstitial advertisements displayed between game levels
- Rewarded advertisements that give you optional in-game rewards, such as hints, lives, tokens, or extra time
AdMob may use advertising identifiers and other information to provide, personalize, measure, and improve ads, subject to your settings and applicable law.
Your advertising choices: You can reset your advertising ID or opt out of ad personalization in your Android settings (Settings > Privacy > Ads, or Settings > Google > Ads).

These providers process information under their own privacy policies:
We may also disclose information if required by law or to protect our rights, users, or the security of the game.
6. Data Retention and Deletion
Information processed by third-party providers is retained according to their own retention practices. We do not operate our own servers that store personal user data. Locally stored game data is deleted when you uninstall the game or clear its data.
You can contact us at studiomentigma@gmail.com with questions about data processing or deletion requests, and we will take reasonable steps to respond.
7. Children's Privacy
Waterway Blocks is intended for a general audience and is not directed toward children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information through the game, please contact us at studiomentigma@gmail.com and we will take appropriate steps.
8. Data Security
We take reasonable measures to protect information handled by our services. Data sent to our partners' services is transmitted over encrypted connections where supported. However, no method of electronic transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
9. Your Rights and Choices
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict the processing of your personal information, to object to certain processing, and to withdraw consent. This may include rights under the GDPR (European Economic Area and United Kingdom), and under the Turkish Personal Data Protection Law (KVKK, Law No. 6698) for users in Türkiye.
Because we do not hold your personal data on our own servers, most requests are handled by the relevant service provider (for example, through your Google Account settings). You may also contact us at studiomentigma@gmail.com and we will help direct your request.
10. Changes to This Privacy Policy
