Privacy Policy for Trash Hero: Sorting Expert

Effective Date: October 26, 2026

TheExploringDuck ("we," "us," or "our") operates the mobile game Trash Hero: Sorting Expert. This Privacy Policy explains how information may be collected, used, and processed when you use the game.

Information and Data Collection

Trash Hero: Sorting Expert does not require users to create an account.

TheExploringDuck does not directly request information such as your name, email address, phone number, physical address, or precise location through the game.

However, Trash Hero: Sorting Expert uses third-party services that may automatically collect or process certain information necessary to provide advertising, security, analytics, diagnostics, and related services.

Depending on the service and device configuration, this information may include:

• Device or advertising identifiers
• IP address
• Device and operating-system information
• Advertising interactions and performance information
• App interactions
• Diagnostic and crash information

Game progress, preferences, and settings may also be stored locally on the user's device.

Advertising

Trash Hero: Sorting Expert displays advertising using Google AdMob, including banner advertisements and optional rewarded advertisements.

Google AdMob may collect or process information such as device identifiers, advertising identifiers, IP addresses, advertising interactions, diagnostic information, and other information necessary to deliver, measure, secure, and improve advertising services.

Rewarded advertisements are optional and may provide an in-game benefit after the user chooses to view an advertisement.

Google's collection and use of information through AdMob is governed by Google's applicable privacy policies and advertising policies.

Purchases and Gameplay Currency

Trash Hero: Sorting Expert does not offer real-money purchases, subscriptions, paid coin packs, paid unlocks, or a paid remove-ads option. Google Play Billing is not integrated. Upgrades and helpers are obtained with coins earned through gameplay or, where offered, optional rewarded advertisements. The game does not collect payment credentials or purchase tokens.

Ad Privacy Choices

Where required, the game uses Google's User Messaging Platform to show a privacy message before requesting ads. Users can consent, decline, or manage the choices presented. An Ad privacy choices entry in the game menu is available when Google requires it, so users can review or change their choices. Ad availability may depend on these choices and regional requirements.

How Information Is Used

Information processed through Trash Hero: Sorting Expert or its third-party services may be used to:

• Operate and maintain the game
• Save game progress and preferences
• Provide and measure advertisements
• Provide rewarded-ad benefits
• Detect fraud, abuse, or security problems
• Diagnose crashes and technical problems
• Improve game performance and functionality

Data Sharing

TheExploringDuck does not sell users' personal information.

Certain information may be transmitted to or processed by third-party service providers, including Google, as necessary to provide advertising, consent management, security, diagnostics, and related functionality.

Data Retention and Deletion

Trash Hero: Sorting Expert does not currently provide user accounts or maintain a developer-operated database containing personally identifiable user profiles.
