Privacy Policy

This privacy policy applies to the "Baataan" app for mobile devices, together with any related services (collectively, the "Application"). The entity operating and providing the Application is hereafter referred to as the "Service Provider."

1. Scope and Acceptance

By downloading, installing, or using the Application you accept the terms of this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Application.

2. Privacy Policy & Data Collection: Does the app collect info?

Yes, indirectly through third-party services. While the "Baataan" application code does not directly collect, upload, or process any personal or private data from users when you use the offline word search mechanics (which run completely offline on the device), the Application may collect data through the Google Mobile Ads SDK (AdMob) and the Google Play In-App Review API. If you choose to play online with someone, the Application will connect to online services for multiplayer gameplay. The Application also uses Firebase (including Firebase Authentication and Firebase Realtime Database) and the associated data collection required by Google’s requirements.

3. What information does the Application obtain and how is it used?

The Application does not collect, log, or store any personal information when you download and use it. Registration is not required. If the Application is used with an active internet connection, technical protocol data (such as your ephemeral IP address) is transmitted to facilitate network connectivity, but this data is not retained by the Application itself or used for tracking by the Service Provider.

4. Third-party services and data sharing

The Application integrates third-party services (for example, Google Mobile Ads/AdMob and Google Play In-App Review). These third-party SDKs may collect or process certain information as described in their respective policies. The Service Provider does not control those third parties’ data collection or use; please review their privacy policies for details about what they collect and how they use it.

5. Location data

This Application does not collect precise information about the location of your mobile device.

6. Children

The Application may be used by children. The Service Provider does not knowingly solicit data from children or market to them. Since the Application does not collect personal information through normal use, children’s data is not at risk from use of the Application alone. If a child voluntarily provides personal information through other means and is under the age required by applicable law, a parent or guardian must provide consent on their behalf where permitted by law.

7. Opt-out rights and removal

Since the Application does not collect personal information through normal use, uninstalling it simply removes the Application from your device. For data collected or processed by third-party services (such as advertising SDKs), you may be able to opt out or adjust ad preferences through the relevant third-party tools or your device settings. Consult the third parties’ privacy controls for details.

8. Contact and deletion requests

If you contact the Service Provider directly or voluntarily provide information by other means, you may request deletion of that information by contacting wolofnena@gmail.com.

9. Security

Because the Application does not collect personal data through normal use, the risk of personal data exposure is minimal. However, no security system is completely secure. The Service Provider implements reasonable safeguards to protect systems and any data it holds.

10. Data Breach Notification

Since the Application does not collect personal data through normal use, the risk of a data breach affecting your personal data is minimal. If a breach occurs involving any data you have voluntarily provided, the Service Provider will notify you as required by applicable law.

11. Changes to this Privacy Policy

The Service Provider may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The Service Provider will notify you of material changes by posting the updated Privacy Policy with an effective date. Where required by law, the Service Provider will seek your consent to material changes before they take effect. Previous versions of this Privacy Policy will be maintained and made available upon request by contacting the Service Provider at wolofnena@gmail.com.

12. Effective date

This privacy policy was updated today (2026-07-04) and is effective as of 2026-07-04.

13. Data Safety (Play Console) - Firebase disclosures

Since the Application uses Firebase Authentication and Firebase Realtime Database, the Application discloses that it collects “User IDs” and “App Performance” data as part of providing and improving the app.

14. Your consent

If you voluntarily provide information to the Service Provider and processing is based on consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time without affecting processing carried out before withdrawal.

15. Contact Us

If you have any questions regarding privacy while using the Application, or have questions about the practices, please contact the Service Provider via email at wolofnena@gmail.com.
