      "body": "We do not ask you to create an account and we do not intentionally collect information that directly identifies you (such as your name or email address) unless you contact us by email.\n\nWhen you first open the Game, an anonymous player account is created for you automatically. It is identified only by a random player ID, which you can see in the Game under Settings.\n\nThe Game and the third-party services it uses may collect:\n- Game progress: your current level, coins, lives, skills, purchased items, and sound and vibration settings, linked to your anonymous player ID so your progress can be saved in the cloud.\n- Device and technical information: device model, operating system version, language and region settings, and identifiers such as the app instance ID and the Android Advertising ID.\n- Usage and gameplay data: levels played, level results, session length, features used, ads viewed, and similar analytics events.\n- Purchase information: which in-game items you bought, the transaction ID, and the purchase receipt provided by Google Play. We never receive your payment card or bank details.\n- Diagnostic data: crash logs, error reports, and performance data.\n\nAll of this information is collected in a pseudonymous form and is used to operate and improve the Game, not to identify you personally."
