Your choices
Gameplay analytics and sponsor measurement are separate, optional choices. Both start off, and under-18s and players who do not confirm adulthood cannot opt in. We do not include an advertising SDK or sell contact lists. The same choices apply to an installed web app on the same browser profile; a different browser or device has separate storage.
Host infrastructure may process IP addresses and request metadata to deliver and protect the service. This is separate from optional campaign event collection. Browser or OS privacy settings can affect storage and offline play.
