Our Game uses the tool Crashlytics, which is part of theFirebaseplatform ofGoogle LLCto log crashes of our Game. No personal data is transmitted. Only real-time crash reports with precise details of code locations and device information are sent, which is intended to simplify maintenance and improve the resulting stability of our Game. The legal basis for data processing is our legitimate interest. In the settings under data services, you can select whether you want to send crash reports or not.
Our Game uses the web analytics service Google Analytics for Firebase, which uses tracking technologies to track your use of our Game.
