Consent and legal basis

In the European Economic Area, the UK and Switzerland we ask on first launch whether you allow personalised ads [e.g. Google User Messaging Platform – verify it is integrated]. Personalised ads are only shown with your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). Without consent, non-personalised ads may appear, with less data processed, e.g. for fraud prevention and ad measurement (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).

You can withdraw consent at any time [e.g. via “Privacy settings” in the app menu – adjust]. You can also reset or delete your advertising ID in your Android settings under “Privacy” and “Ads”.

4. Unity engine and crash reports

Tetherlight is built with the Unity engine. [If Unity Analytics, Cloud Diagnostics or similar are enabled: describe which data and why. Otherwise shorten this section.]

5. Google Play

You download the app from Google Play, where Google processes data under its own responsibility. In-app purchases are handled exclusively by Google Play. We receive no payment details, only a confirmation of the purchase so we can unlock it in the app.
