We are transparent about everything we collect, including data used for advertising through Google AdMob.
This Privacy Policy describes how Famzgames ("we", "us", "our") handles information in the Brain Dash Android application ("the App") available on Google Play Store.
Brain Dash uses Google AdMob to display advertisements. As a result, certain data may be collected by Google to serve and optimize ads. This policy explains what data is collected, by whom, and how it is used.
By downloading or using Brain Dash, you agree to this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please uninstall the App.
Famzgames itself collects no personal data. However, Google AdMob — as a third-party advertising service — may collect data independently as described in this policy. We are required to disclose this to you.
Brain Dash uses Google AdMob, an advertising service provided by Google LLC, to display ads within the app. AdMob helps us keep the app free for everyone.
Google AdMob may automatically collect the following data when you use Brain Dash:
| Data Type | Purpose | Collected By |
|---|---|---|
| Advertising ID | Identify your device for ad targeting & frequency capping | Google AdMob |
| IP Address | Approximate location for geo-targeted ads | Google AdMob |
| Device Information | Device model, OS version, screen size for ad rendering | Google AdMob |
| App Usage Data | How you interact with ads (views, clicks, dismissals) | Google AdMob |
| Diagnostic Data | Ad load performance and crash data related to ads | Google AdMob |
| Cookies / Identifiers | Cross-app tracking for personalized ad profiles | Google AdMob |
This data is collected by Google LLC, not by Famzgames. We do not receive, store, or have access to this data.
For full details on how Google uses data from AdMob, please read Google's Privacy Policy:

Personalized vs. Non-Personalized Ads:
Brain Dash uses the Google User Messaging Platform (UMP) to request your consent for personalized advertising in regions where consent is required (EU, UK, EEA — under GDPR).
Separate from AdMob, Famzgames itself stores only this minimal game data locally on your device using Android DataStore. This data never leaves your device.
| Data | What It Is | Where Stored | Shared? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Game Progress | Score, coins, games played, high scores | Device only | Never |
| Selected Character | Your chosen character in the shop | Device only | Never |
| Sound Preference | Muted or unmuted setting | Device memory | Never |
| Unlocked Characters | Characters you have purchased | Device only | Never |
None of the above contains personally identifiable information. We never access, transmit, or sell this data.
Famzgames does not independently collect any of the following:
Note: Google AdMob may independently collect some of the above — see Section 02 for details.
Brain Dash is designed for mixed ages including children. We take children's privacy seriously and comply with COPPA (Children's Online Privacy Protection Act) and Google Play's Families Policy.
Because Brain Dash targets mixed ages (including under 13), we are required to configure AdMob to serve non-personalized, child-directed ads only for all users, or to implement age-gating. Brain Dash is configured to request non-personalized ads to comply with COPPA and Google Play Families Policy.
Our commitments for child safety:
Parents or guardians with concerns may contact us at the email below to request information or deletion of any data associated with a child's device.
