1. Introduction
Welcome to Master Bluff ("we", "us", or "our"). We are committed to protecting your personal information and your right to privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our mobile application (the "App").
2. Information We Collect
We collect information in the following ways:
2a. Information You Provide
- Account Information: Email address, username, and display name provided during registration.
- Authentication: We use your email address to send a one-time password (OTP) to verify your identity. We do not store your OTP after verification.
- Game Data: Room codes, game actions, scores, and chat messages within game rooms.
- Communications: If you contact our support team, we collect your email address and message content.

2c. Information from Third Parties
- Our Backend Server: Authentication (email + OTP), user account data, and game data are handled by our own backend server. We do not use Firebase for authentication or data storage.
- Firebase (Google): We may use Firebase Analytics in the future to analyse app usage and improve user experience. No personal data is shared for this purpose beyond anonymised usage metrics.
- AdMob (Google): We display advertisements through Google AdMob, which may use device identifiers and your advertising ID to serve personalised ads.

- Operate, maintain, and improve the App and its features.
- Create and manage your game account and profile.
- Enable real-time multiplayer gameplay, including room creation and joining.

- Monitor and analyse usage trends to improve user experience.

4. Sharing Your Information
We do not sell your personal information. We may share your information in the following limited circumstances:

5. Advertising & Third-Party SDKs
Master Bluff uses Google AdMob and its mediation partners (Unity Ads, AppLovin, IronSource / Unity LevelPlay) to display in-app advertisements. These services may collect and use your device's advertising ID and other identifiers to serve personalised or interest-based ads.
You can opt out of personalised ads at any time:
- Android: Go to Settings → Google → Ads → Opt out of Ads Personalisation.
- iOS: Go to Settings → Privacy → Tracking → disable "Allow Apps to Request to Track".

You may request deletion of your account and associated data at any time by contacting us at masterbluff.support@gmail.com. We will process deletion requests within 30 days, subject to legal obligations.
7. Data Security
We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your information, including SSL/TLS encryption in transit, Firebase Security Rules for database access control, and secure credential storage. However, no method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
