We use both a custom solution for our analytics as well as Unity Ads, whose privacy policy can be found at https://unity3d.com/legal/privacy-policy.
Our custom analytics solution collects hashed IP addresses and device identifiers, so we can identify if the same person plays our game. As they are irreversibly hashed, we cannot find out the original IP address or device identifier. We also collect information such as your score and playtime, as well as your rough location (limited to your city). We cannot identify individuals from the data we collect.
