Age information

When you first use the Application, we may ask you to select your age. We use this information to apply age-appropriate settings for advertising, analytics, and feature availability. If you do not provide your age, we apply conservative child-safety defaults.

Users under 13

If you indicate that you are under 13 years old (or we otherwise treat your session as child-directed):

• We do not serve personalized advertising based on your interests;

Information we collect from children

We and our advertising partners (including AdMob and Unity Ads mediation, where enabled) may still collect limited technical information necessary to deliver the Application and child-directed or non-personalized ads (such as device type, app version, operating system, and coarse IP-based region). We do not knowingly collect more personal information from children than reasonably necessary to participate in the Application’s activities.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided personal information to us, or if you wish to review, delete, or refuse further collection of your child’s information, please contact us at mtisprod@gmail.com. We will respond promptly and take appropriate action.

Where required, we apply child-directed and under-age-of-consent settings to ads and analytics as described above.

10. Data Security and Retention

We use physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to protect the information we process. While we strive to provide reasonable security, no system can prevent all potential security breaches.

We retain Personal Data for as long as required for the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by law. Once the retention period expires, the Personal Data will be deleted.

11. Data Transfers

Your data is processed on servers which may be located outside of your country of residence, including in the United States. We ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place for any international data transfers in compliance with applicable laws.
