2. Scope of This Policy

This Policy explains how information is collected and used in connection with the use of this app (Pixel Art Maker), including information handled by us and by third-party services we use, such as advertising services.

3. Information Collected

This app does not ask users to enter directly identifying personal information such as name, address, or phone number.
However, for ad delivery, measurement, fraud prevention, and quality improvement, the following information may be collected automatically.

3.1 Advertising (Google AdMob)

This app uses Google AdMob (Google Mobile Ads SDK). AdMob may collect and use the following information for ad delivery and related purposes.

The scope of information collected may vary depending on region, device settings, consent status, and ad delivery mode.

4. Purposes of Use

The collected information may be used for the following purposes.

5. Third-Party Transfer / External Transmission

For the purposes described above, this app may send collected information to Google as a third-party service provider.
Such information may be processed on the servers of the third-party service provider outside Japan (for example, in the United States).
The handling of information by third parties is governed by their respective privacy policies and related documentation.
For information on how Google handles data, please see the Google Privacy Policy.

6. About Tracking on iOS and ATT (AppTrackingTransparency)

This app uses a third-party advertising service (Google AdMob).
On iOS, if the app accesses the advertising identifier (IDFA) or performs processing that qualifies as tracking across other companies' apps or websites, user permission through ATT (AppTrackingTransparency) may be required.
If the user does not allow tracking through ATT, the advertising identifier (IDFA) will not be sent with ad requests.
Users can later change the tracking permission status for this app from the iOS Settings app.

7. Additional Information for the EEA/UK

7.1 Consent Management (UMP)

In some regions such as the EEA/UK, this app uses the User Messaging Platform (UMP) and similar tools to obtain and manage choices related to advertising consent.
In regions where consent information is used, the consent choices can be changed or withdrawn from "Privacy settings" shown under "Menu → Settings" in the app.

7.2 Additional Notes on Ad Delivery

In this app, whether advertising consent is required and how ads are delivered may vary depending on the user's age range, region, applicable law, and consent status.
In some regions such as the EEA/UK, users may be asked to provide age-range information when necessary for ad delivery and consent management under applicable law.
If age-range information is provided, it is used to determine whether child-directed settings should be applied or whether a User Messaging Platform (UMP) consent screen needs to be shown, and it is stored within the app.
Age-range information, if provided, is stored until the user changes it or deletes the app from the device.
For example, in some cases a consent screen may not be displayed, and ad delivery behavior may change depending on the user's choices and legal requirements.

8. Children's Privacy

This app is not designed specifically for children.
However, users of a wide range of ages, including children, may use the app.
Ad delivery may differ depending on the user's age range, region, applicable law, and consent status.
For information collected and used by third-party service providers in connection with advertising, please refer to their privacy policies and related documentation.

9. Retention Period

Artwork data, settings, and age-range information stored within the app are kept until the user changes or deletes them, or deletes the app from the device.
Retention periods on the side of third-party service providers are governed by their settings and policies.

10. Changes to This Policy

This Policy may be revised due to legal compliance requirements or feature changes.
Any revised version will be posted on this page.

11. Language
