## 1. Information Collection and Use

### A. Locally Stored Data (Simulated Information)

**WealthForge: Wealth Tycoon Sim** is a simulated financial environment game. Any information you input into the App (including your username, avatar choice, simulated portfolio data, property acquisitions, and simulated account values) is stored **locally on your device**.

* We do **not** upload, store, or transmit this simulation data to external servers.

* If you delete the App, this locally stored data will be permanently removed.

### B. Device and Usage Data (Automated Collection)

When you use the App, certain information may be collected automatically by the App or third-party service providers (such as Google AdMob) to ensure the App functions correctly, analyze performance, and serve advertisements:

* **Log Data:** IP address, device name, operating system version, app configuration, and the time and date of your usage.

* **Device Identifiers:** Mobile advertising identifiers (such as Android Advertising ID or iOS IDFA).

## 2. Third-Party Services and Advertisements

To provide and support free access to the App, we display simulated and real advertisements through third-party services. These third parties may collect information directly from your device as governed by their respective privacy policies:

### Google Mobile Ads (AdMob)

AdMob collects device identifiers, IP addresses, and interaction details to customize advertisements (personalized ads) and perform ad-delivery analytics.

* **Privacy Policy:** [Google Privacy & Terms](https://policies.google.com/privacy)

* **Opt-Out:** You can manage or disable personalized ads on your device settings (e.g., "Opt out of Ads Personalization" on Android or "Limit Ad Tracking" on iOS).

## 4. Your Rights (GDPR & CCPA Compliance)

Depending on your jurisdiction (e.g., European Union or California), you may have specific rights regarding your personal information:

* **Right to Access/Delete:** Because all game simulation data is stored locally on your device, you have full access to it at all times and can delete it by clearing the App's data in your device settings or uninstalling the App.
