Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how user information is handled in Manakana Shogi (the "App").

Effective date: 2026-05-31

Article 1 Scope

This policy applies to the App and support services related to the App.

If users move from the App to an external service or advertisement, the handling of information at the destination is governed by that service provider’s privacy policy.

Article 2 Information Collected

The App may collect device information, OS information, app version, usage information, crash logs, and performance information to provide and improve the App.

When users use online battle, ranking, or user-identification features, the App may collect display names, user identifiers, communication information required for matches, and gameplay progress information.

When users contact support, the App may process the email address, message content, and information necessary to investigate the request.

Article 3 Purposes of Use

Information is used to provide the App, operate online matches, identify users, investigate issues, improve quality, prevent abuse, respond to inquiries, serve ads, and measure ad performance.

Aggregated information that does not directly identify individuals may be used to improve the App and make operational decisions.

Article 4 Advertising and External Transmission

The App may use Google AdMob to serve ads. The Google Mobile Ads SDK may collect IP address, device identifiers, advertising ID, ad impression and interaction information, crash logs, performance information, and in-app interaction information for ad delivery, measurement, fraud prevention, and quality improvement.

When tracking using the advertising identifier (IDFA) is required, the App asks for permission under Apple App Tracking Transparency. If permission is not granted, ads such as non-personalized ads may still be shown where available.

For details about how Google handles information, please review Google’s policies and explanations regarding Google AdMob.

Article 5 Sharing with Third Parties

Information is not provided to third parties except where required by law, where user consent has been obtained, or where handling is entrusted to service providers as necessary to provide the App.

Information may be transmitted to Google and other external services as necessary for advertising, analytics, cloud infrastructure, and support operations.

Article 6 Security and Retention

Reasonable security measures are taken to help prevent leakage, loss, damage, and unauthorized access.

Information is retained for the period necessary to achieve the purposes described above and is deleted or anonymized by reasonable means when no longer needed.

Article 7 User Controls

Settings related to advertising identifiers and tracking can be managed through iOS settings or permission dialogs displayed in the App.

For deletion requests, inquiries, or withdrawal of consent, please contact the address below. Additional information may be requested for identity confirmation or investigation.

Article 8 Minors

Minors should use the App with the consent of a parent or guardian. Unless the App is provided primarily for children, it does not intentionally serve personalized ads targeted to children.

Article 9 Changes

This policy may be updated due to changes in laws, the App, or external services used by the App. Important changes will be announced on this page or in the App.
