"When you download and use our Services, we automatically detect your general location, namely country and state through your IP address. We may collect, with your consent if applicable, other location information through your IP address, such as the city you are in."

Location is automatically collected at country/state level without consent, and city-level geolocation may also be collected via IP address.

"We, along with our third-party advertising networks, analytics partners, and service providers, may use cookies and similar technologies—such as mobile "SDKs", pixels, and web beacons—to enhance and personalize your experience with our Services. These technologies help us deliver targeted advertisements, analyze performance, improve functionality, ensure security, and prevent fraud."

Third-party advertising networks and analytics partners collect data directly from users' devices via embedded SDKs, pixels, and similar tracking technologies.

"Some of these technologies enable the synchronization of behaviors and preferences across different platforms, devices, and apps. This allows us to tailor content, features, and advertisements to your interests. In addition, we and certain advertising networks may access your inventory of installed apps to avoid advertising already installed apps."

Easybrain and its ad partners synchronize user behavior across platforms, devices, and apps, and can access the list of installed apps on the user's device.

"We and certain advertising networks may access your inventory of installed apps to avoid advertising already installed apps. If you choose to use features involving photos, we will request access to your camera. These permissions are optional and do not limit access to the app's main functionality."

The app accesses the user's inventory of installed apps for ad targeting purposes, which goes beyond core game functionality. Camera and media file access is also requested.

"This Privacy Policy may change from time to time, and we encourage you to review it periodically. Your continued use of our Services signifies your acceptance of changes to this Privacy Policy. In some cases, we may notify you of changes to this Privacy Policy with a prominent notice on our Services (for example by way of notification or pop-up), before the changes become effective."

Easybrain can change the privacy policy at any time, and continued use is treated as acceptance. Notice is only provided "in some cases," not guaranteed.

"Your Personal Data collected through our Services will be retained for as long as permitted by applicable law or necessary depending on the respective purpose of collection and shall be deleted when they no longer serve one of the above-mentioned purposes or shall be anonymized. It is clarified that in no case the retention period should exceed the 5 years from the date of collection."

While capped at 5 years, the retention period is vaguely defined as "as long as permitted by applicable law or necessary," giving Easybrain broad discretion over how long data is kept.
