Privacy Policy

Effective Date: June 7, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Africa Flag Matching (“the App”, “we”, “our”, or “us”) handles information when you use our mobile game.

Africa Flag Matching is developed by Ismail Ouahi. The App is a mobile memory card game where players match African countries with their flags, play different game modes, use power-ups, and compete through leaderboard features.

By using the App, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

1. Information We Collect

We do not directly ask users to provide personal information such as name, address, phone number, email address, or payment information inside the App.

However, the App uses third-party services that may automatically collect certain information from your device or your interaction with the App.

This information may include:

  • Device information, such as device model, operating system, language, and screen size.
  • App usage data, such as interactions with the App, gameplay activity, sessions, and performance data.
  • Advertising-related information, such as the advertising ID, ad interactions, approximate location, and ad performance data.
  • Diagnostics and crash data, such as error logs, crash reports, and technical performance information.
  • Leaderboard-related information when you use Google Play Games Services, such as your Google Play Games profile information, player ID, display name, score, achievements, and ranking data.

The exact data collected may depend on your device settings, Google account settings, consent choices, and the third-party services used by the App.

2. How We Use Information

Information collected through the App and third-party services may be used for the following purposes:

  • To operate and improve the App.
  • To display advertisements through Google AdMob.
  • To measure advertising performance.
  • To detect, prevent, and reduce fraud or abuse.
  • To monitor app stability, crashes, and technical performance.
  • To provide leaderboard and ranking features through Google Play Games Services.
  • To improve gameplay, user experience, and app performance.
  • To comply with legal, regulatory, and platform requirements.

3. Advertising and Google AdMob

The App uses Google AdMob to display advertisements.

Google AdMob may collect and process data such as device information, advertising ID, approximate location, ad interactions, app interactions, diagnostics, and other technical information.

This data may be used by Google and its partners to:

  • Show ads.
  • Personalize ads where permitted and where consent is provided.
  • Measure ad performance.
  • Prevent fraud and abuse.

This information is used to display your score, compare your performance with other players, and provide leaderboard functionality.

6. Data Sharing

We do not sell your personal information.

We may share or allow access to certain data only in the following cases:

7. Data Retention

We do not directly store personal information on our own servers.

The App is not designed to knowingly collect personal information directly from children.

We do not knowingly request names, addresses, phone numbers, emails, or other personal information from children inside the App.

However, the App may display ads and may use third-party services such as Google AdMob and Google Play Games Services. If the App is made available to children or classified as intended for children under applicable laws or Google Play policies, additional settings and protections may be required, including child-directed treatment for ads where applicable.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe that a child has provided personal information through the App, please contact us at:

ouahiismail3@gmail.com

We will take reasonable steps to address the issue.

10. Security

We take reasonable measures to protect the App and reduce risks related to unauthorized access, misuse, or technical vulnerabilities.

However, no method of electronic transmission or storage is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security of information processed through third-party services.

11. International Data Processing

The App uses Google services, which may process data on servers located in different countries. By using the App, you understand that data may be processed outside your country of residence, depending on the third-party services involved.
