5. Advertising
The App displays advertisements served through ironSource LevelPlay and its partner ad networks. These partners may use your Advertising ID and other device information to deliver personalized ads. You can opt out of personalized advertising by adjusting your device settings:
- Android: Settings → Google → Ads → Delete advertising ID (or Opt out of Ads Personalization)

On iOS, the App asks for your permission before your IDFA is used for tracking. If you decline, ads are still shown but are not personalized using the IDFA.
Users who purchase the ad-free option through an in-app purchase will no longer see advertisements, and their Advertising ID will no longer be used for ad serving.
