# Privacy Policy **Effective date: September 28, 2026** Moustache Fish ("we", "us", or "our") operates the **Grappling Duck** mobile application (the "Service"). This Privacy Policy explains how information may be collected, used, and shared when you use Grappling Duck. Grappling Duck is an ad-supported game and uses third-party services, including Google Mobile Ads (AdMob), Google User Messaging Platform (UMP), and Google Play Games Services. By using Grappling Duck, you acknowledge the practices described in this Privacy Policy. ## Information We Collect We do not operate our own user database and we do not directly collect information such as your name, email address, postal address, or telephone number through Grappling Duck. However, third-party services integrated into the game may collect and process information automatically when you use the Service. ### Advertising and Analytics Information Grappling Duck uses **Google Mobile Ads (AdMob)** to display advertisements. Depending on how the Service is used and the device's settings, Google Mobile Ads may collect and share information including: * IP address, which may be used to estimate general location; * Information about interactions with the app, such as app launches, taps, and video views; * Diagnostic and performance information, such as app launch time, crashes or hangs, and energy usage; * Device and account identifiers, including advertising identifiers, app-set identifiers, and other applicable identifiers. This information may be used for purposes including: * Providing and displaying advertisements; * Measuring and improving advertising and app performance; * Analytics; * Fraud prevention and security. Google states that data collected by the Google Mobile Ads SDK is encrypted in transit. The availability and use of advertising identifiers may also depend on the settings and controls available on your Android device. ### Google Play Games Grappling Duck uses **Google Play Games Services** for optional game functionality. If you use Google Play Games features, information associated with your Play Games account may be processed by Google in order to provide features such as: * Player authentication; * Leaderboards and scores; * Achievements; * Synchronisation of game-related information through Google Play Games Services. We do not operate or control Google's Play Games servers or the information processed by Google through those services. Your use of Google Play Games is also subject to Google's own privacy practices and policies. ### Privacy and Consent Information Grappling Duck uses Google's **User Messaging Platform (UMP)** to manage privacy and consent choices relating to advertising. UMP may process information necessary to determine whether a privacy message or consent choice is required and to remember the choices made by the user. Google describes UMP as a tool for managing users' privacy choices and consent information. ## How Information Is Used Information processed by third-party services may be used to: * Provide the game's functionality; * Provide Google Play Games features; * Display advertisements; * Measure advertising and application performance; * Analyse usage and diagnose technical problems; * Prevent fraud and abuse; * Manage privacy and advertising consent choices. We do not sell personal information directly. ## Third-Party Services Grappling Duck uses third-party services that may collect and process information according to their own privacy policies. The main third-party services used by the app are: * **Google Mobile Ads (AdMob)** — advertising, analytics, and fraud prevention. * **Google Play Games Services** — authentication, leaderboards, achievements, and related game functionality. * **Google User Messaging Platform (UMP)** — privacy and advertising consent management. These services are operated by Google and are subject to Google's applicable privacy policies and terms. We recommend reviewing Google's privacy information for details about how Google processes information through these services. ## Data Security We do not operate our own backend or maintain a database containing personal information collected from players through Grappling Duck. Information transmitted to third-party services is handled according to the security practices of those providers. For example, Google states that data collected by the Google Mobile Ads SDK is encrypted in transit using Transport Layer Security (TLS). However, no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure. ## Data Retention We do not maintain our own database of personal information collected through Grappling Duck. Third-party providers may retain information according to their own policies, purposes, and retention practices. For information about Google's retention practices, please refer to Google's applicable privacy documentation. ## Children's Privacy Grappling Duck is not specifically directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13. Because the game uses third-party services, including advertising and Google Play Games, those services may have their own age requirements, privacy practices, and parental controls. If you believe that a child has provided personal information to us directly, please contact us using the information below. ## Your Privacy Choices Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have rights concerning your personal information, including rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, or object to certain processing. Advertising and privacy choices may also be available through Google's privacy and consent mechanisms and through settings provided by your device or Google account. Because some information is collected and processed directly by third-party providers, requests concerning information held by those providers may need to be made directly to the relevant provider. ## Links to Other Websites and Services Grappling Duck may interact with or provide access to third-party services such as Google Play Games. We are not responsible for the privacy practices, content, or security of third-party services. We recommend reviewing the privacy policies of those services. ## Changes to This Privacy Policy We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make changes, we will update the "Effective date" at the top of this page. You are encouraged to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes. ## Contact Us If you have any questions, concerns, or requests regarding this Privacy Policy or the privacy practices of Grappling Duck, please contact us at: **[moustache.fish.games@gmail.com](mailto:moustache.fish.games@gmail.com)** © Moustache FishIf you have any questions, concerns, or requests regarding this Privacy Policy or the privacy practices of Grappling Duck, please contact us at:
