Welcome to Ghostlap, a mobile arcade puzzle game developed and published by WardaSoftware (“we”, “our”, or “us”). This Privacy Policy explains how information may be collected, used, and shared when you use Ghostlap.
Ghostlap processes information locally on your device and via third-party services like Google AdMob, Google Play Core, and Firebase. This document describes the data handling practices stated for the app.
1. Information we collect
Local gameplay and preferences
Ghostlap stores game progress, level completions, earned coins, unlocked player skins, trophies, sound and haptics preferences, and high scores locally on your device using Android SharedPreferences. WardaSoftware does not operate an external server account system to collect or store this local gameplay data.
Advertising: Google AdMob and UMP
Ghostlap uses Google AdMob to display banner, interstitial, and rewarded advertisements. Google and its advertising partners may process device identifiers such as the Android Advertising ID, IP address, app activity, and diagnostic data to deliver, customize, and measure ads. Where required by law, Google User Messaging Platform (UMP) provides privacy consent controls.
