- The App uses the following third-party services, each governed by its provider’s terms and privacy policy.
- Google AdMob and Google’s consent management tool (UMP): serving and measuring ads, and ad consent

- On-device face detection (Apple Vision on iOS, Google ML Kit on Android): finding the position of faces in photos
- App Store, Google Play: distribution and updates of the App
- We do not operate these third-party services. If a service changes or stops, the App features that rely on it may not work.

6. Ads, Game Center and Play Games, and challenge tickets
- Ads: The App shows Google AdMob ads. Products and services in ads are provided by the advertisers, and any dealings with them are between you and the advertiser. Users in the European Economic Area, the UK and Switzerland can change or withdraw their ad consent in the App under Settings > Ad Consent Settings. Please report inappropriate ads in the App under Settings > Report an Ad.
- Game Center and Play Games (optional): On iOS, leaderboards, friend challenges and achievements use Apple’s Game Center; on Android, leaderboards and achievements use Google’s Play Games. When you sign in, the App sends only your scores and achievement progress to that service, and account information such as your nickname is handled under Apple’s or Google’s terms and policies. You can use every other feature of the App without signing in. We may remove records that appear to have been obtained by unfair means from the leaderboards, to the extent the service allows.
- Challenge tickets: Challenge tickets are an in-app allowance of plays for Challenge Mode.
- Challenge tickets have no cash value, cannot be exchanged for cash or anything else, cannot be transferred to anyone else, and are not refundable.
- Challenge tickets refill at set times, and you can get extra tickets by watching rewarded ads. The standard number of tickets and when and how they refill are shown in the App, and we may change them through app updates or changes to app settings.
- Your remaining tickets are stored only on your device, so they are lost and cannot be restored when you delete the App on Android or reset your device on iOS.
