Last updated: December 14, 2025

This Privacy Policy describes how SpinningDuck (“we”, “our”, or “us”) collects, uses, and shares information when you use our mobile application “SpinningDuck” (the “App”). By installing, accessing, or using the App, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with this Privacy Policy, please do not use the App.

1. Eligibility and Children’s Privacy

The App is not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you are under 13, you are not permitted to use the App.

If we become aware that we have collected personal information from a child under 13 without verification of parental consent, we will take steps to delete such information as soon as possible. If you believe that a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, please contact us using the contact details at the end of this Privacy Policy.

2. Information We Collect

We may collect certain types of information when you use the App. This may include:

2.1 Information You Provide Directly

In general, the App can be used without creating an account or providing personal data directly to us, unless explicitly requested within the App for specific features. If, in the future, we allow you to contact us through the App or provide feedback, we may collect information such as your email address, your name or nickname, and the content of your message.

2.2 Automatically Collected Information

When you use the App, certain information may be collected automatically, including:

• Device information (such as device model, operating system version, unique device identifiers, language, and country).
• App usage data (such as the screens you view, the time and date of your use, session duration, and other diagnostic data).
• Crash data and performance data (used to improve the stability and performance of the App).
• Approximate location information derived from your IP address (if provided by third-party services such as advertising networks or analytics providers).

3. Advertising and AdMob

The App uses Google AdMob, a mobile advertising service provided by Google LLC, to display ads. AdMob may collect and use certain data about you and your device to show personalized or non-personalized ads.

Data that may be collected and processed by AdMob includes, but is not limited to:

• Device identifiers (such as Advertising ID).
• IP address and approximate location.
• App usage data and interaction with ads.
• Information about the type of device, operating system, and network.

The collection and use of this information by AdMob are governed by Google’s Privacy Policy and AdMob policies. For more information on how Google uses information from apps that use its services, please visit: https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads and https://policies.google.com/privacy .

Depending on your location, you may see a consent message managed by Google or by us on the first launch of the App, allowing you to choose whether ads can be personalized using your data. You can change your ad preferences using your device settings or Google’s ad settings where available.

4. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

• To provide, operate, and maintain the App.
• To monitor and analyze usage and trends in order to improve the App and the user experience.
• To display advertisements through third-party ad networks (such as AdMob).
• To detect, prevent, and address technical issues, security incidents, or fraudulent activities.
• To respond to your comments, questions, and requests if you contact us.

5. Legal Basis for Processing (EEA/UK Users)

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA) or the United Kingdom, we rely on the following legal bases to process your personal data:

• Consent: For example, when you agree to personalized ads where required by law.
• Legitimate interests: Such as improving the App, preventing fraud, and ensuring security, provided that these interests are not overridden by your data protection rights.
• Compliance with legal obligations: When processing is necessary to comply with applicable laws and regulations.

6. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share information in the following situations:

• Service providers and partners: We may share information with third-party companies that help us provide and improve the App, such as analytics providers and advertising networks (including AdMob).
• Legal requirements: We may disclose your information if we believe in good faith that such action is necessary to: (a) comply with a legal obligation or governmental request; (b) protect and defend our rights or property; (c) prevent or investigate possible wrongdoing in connection with the App; or (d) protect the personal safety of users of the App or the public.
• Business transfers: If we are involved in a merger, acquisition, asset sale, or similar transaction, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to appropriate confidentiality protections.

7. International Data Transfers

Your information may be transferred to and maintained on servers located outside your state, province, country, or other governmental jurisdiction, where data protection laws may differ from those in your jurisdiction. By using the App, you consent to such transfers, where permitted by law.

When we transfer personal data from the EEA or UK to countries that do not offer the same level of data protection, we will take appropriate safeguards, such as using standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission or other applicable mechanisms.

8. Data Retention

We retain your information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. The retention periods used by our third-party providers, such as AdMob, are determined by their own policies. We encourage you to review their privacy policies for details on their data retention practices.

9. Security

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure, or access. However, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. Therefore, we cannot guarantee absolute security of your information.

10. Your Rights and Choices

You can limit the collection of certain types of information by:

• Adjusting your device’s privacy settings (for example, resetting or limiting your Advertising ID).
• Disabling ad personalization in your Google account or device settings, where available.
