5.2 Game Center (Apple) / Google Play Games

The app uses Apple's Game Center and Google Play Games services for leaderboards, achievements, and head-to-head match play against other users. When you are signed in to either service:

• Your gamer profile (the public gamer nickname and avatar that you chose in the service) is stored and may be displayed to other players during head-to-head matches.
• Your gameplay data (answer timings and results) may be stored so other players can compete against your game asynchronously.
• The information shown is only your public Play Games / Game Center gamer profile — your real name, email address, and your Google/Apple account photo are never shared.

Signing in to these services constitutes your consent for your public gamer profile to be displayed in social game features. You may disconnect at any time from your device settings. These services are managed by Apple and Google respectively, and game account data is handled directly by them.

5.3 App Stores

Subscription purchases are processed by Google Play Store or Apple App Store. Payment information is managed directly by the app stores and is not stored in our app.

6. Subscriptions and Purchases

The app offers premium monthly and yearly subscriptions to unlock additional content and categories. Purchases are made through the app stores (Google Play / App Store).

7. Advertising

The app does not display advertisements and does not use any advertising networks.

8. Data Sharing

We do not sell, trade, or share user data with third parties. Anonymous usage data is used solely to improve the app.

9. Data Security

We take reasonable measures to protect information:

• All server communication is encrypted via HTTPS
• Anonymous authentication without storing personal credentials
• Local data is stored in app-specific directories

10. Data Deletion

All local data can be deleted by uninstalling the app from the device. Anonymous data stored on Firebase servers will be deleted according to Firebase's data retention policies.
