Mahjong Lantern has no accounts, no servers, and no analytics of its own. Your games and statistics never leave your device. The one exception is advertising, which is served by Google AdMob and is described below.
Your statistics, your settings, and any game in progress are saved in local storage on your device. We cannot read it, it is not backed up to us, and deleting the app deletes it.
Mahjong Lantern shows ads supplied by Google AdMob. To do that, the Google Mobile Ads SDK may collect your device's advertising identifier and information about how you interact with the app and its ads. That data goes to Google, not to us, and it is used for advertising, including ads tailored to you, and for measuring how ads perform. Google's handling of it is covered by the Google Privacy & Terms.
Under Apple's definitions this counts as tracking, which is why the app declares it and asks your permission first.
Boards are dealt on your device, so the game works with no connection. Only the ads need one.
Mahjong Lantern is a general-audience game. It is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.
There are none. Mahjong Lantern has no in-app purchases and no subscriptions.
