- Consent for analytics where legally required
- Legitimate interests for purposes such as advertising frequency management, security, fraud prevention, and preventing abuse, where permitted by law
You may withdraw your consent through the Privacy Choices option where available. Withdrawal does not affect processing that occurred before consent was withdrawn.
6. Google Play Billing
In-app purchases are processed through Google Play Billing.
Google handles your payment information directly.
