Payment is processed by the store you buy through; we do not receive your full payment card number. Apple or Google may share limited transaction-related information with us as needed to provide access to paid features.

You can manage or cancel subscriptions in your Apple ID account settings (for example, Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions on your device) or in the Google Play Store app (Profile → Payments & subscriptions → Subscriptions). For more help, see Apple's subscription and billing support or Google Play's subscription help. Their use of data is described in Apple's Privacy Policy and Google's Privacy Policy.

2.5 Advertising

The app offers optional rewarded ads served by Google AdMob. When an ad is requested, AdMob may receive your device's advertising identifier, your approximate location (derived from your IP address) and basic device information, which it uses to show, measure and limit ads. On iOS, the advertising identifier is only shared if you allow tracking. You can reset or delete your advertising identifier at any time in your device settings (iOS: Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking; Android: Settings → Privacy → Ads). See how Google uses information from apps that use its services.
