• Game progress data — coins, unlocked zones, caught fish, settings, and other gameplay state. Stored locally on your device and, if you sign in with Google, also backed up to our secure cloud server (Railway / PostgreSQL).
• Google account information — if you choose to sign in with Google, we receive your Google account name, email address, and unique Google user ID solely for the purpose of linking your cloud save. We do not share this information with third parties.
• Advertising ID — collected by Google AdMob for serving relevant advertisements. See Section 3 for details.

2. How We Use Your Information

• To process in-app purchases via Google Play Billing
• To prevent cheating and validate game state (server-side validation)

3. Third-Party Services

The Game uses the following third-party services, each governed by their own privacy policies:

• Google AdMob — displays rewarded video advertisements. AdMob may collect device identifiers and advertising IDs to serve personalised ads. You can opt out of personalised ads in your device settings. Google Privacy Policy.
