Aling Tindera privacy policy
Aling Tindera is a shop-keeping game: you run a small neighbourhood sari-sari store, serve customers, give change and restock shelves over 40 days, plus a Daily Shift. It has no accounts, no sign-in and no developer server. This page explains what stays on your device and what the advertising software in the app may collect.
Data on your device
- Your game progress: the days you cleared and their stars, the in-game pesos, shelves and upgrades you own, pautang (tab) records, lifetime play statistics, your Daily Shift best score and day streak, whether you finished the lesson, and the unfinished shift you left.
- Your settings (sound, music, volumes, vibration, left-handed layout, relaxed mode and display options).
This data is saved in the app's private storage. We do not receive it, and we cannot see it. Clearing the app's data or uninstalling the app deletes it, and "Reset statistics" in Settings erases your progress. The pesos in the game are play money only: they cannot be bought, sold or cashed out.
Advertising and consent
Aling Tindera shows ads through Google AdMob: a small banner on the main menu, an occasional full-screen ad between days (never during a shift or the lesson), and an optional rewarded video that you choose to watch on the day-end card to receive bonus in-game pesos. No banner or automatic ad ever appears while you are serving customers. The game works fully offline and without ads.
When ads are requested, Google's Mobile Ads SDK, operated by Google, may collect and use: your device's advertising ID, IP address (and so approximate location), device and OS information (model, OS version, language, screen size, network type), app information (package name, version), and ad interaction and diagnostic data such as impressions, clicks and crashes. Google uses this to serve and measure ads, to limit ad frequency, to prevent fraud and to improve its services, and may share it with its advertising partners. Where you have given consent, ads can be personalized; otherwise they are non-personalized or not shown.
Aling Tindera itself does not read your advertising ID, does not send data to any server of ours, and does not combine ad data with game data.

Your choices
- Consent (EEA, UK and similar regions): on first launch, Google's User Messaging Platform (UMP) may ask for your consent. No ads are requested until the rules for your region allow it. You can change your choice any time in Settings > Privacy options, which appears in the app when your region requires it.
- Advertising ID: in Android settings (Settings > Google > Ads, or Privacy > Ads) you can delete your advertising ID or opt out of ad personalization.
- No ads at all: you can play offline (airplane mode) and the game stays fully playable.
Permissions
INTERNETandACCESS_NETWORK_STATE: used by the ads software to load ads and check connectivity.com.google.android.gms.permission.AD_ID(and the relatedACCESS_ADSERVICES_*permissions): let the ads software read the advertising ID and use Android's privacy-preserving ad APIs.WAKE_LOCKandFOREGROUND_SERVICE: declared by Google's ads library for its own background ad tasks. Aling Tindera itself does not run a foreground service.VIBRATE: optional haptic feedback, which you can turn off in Settings.
The app allows Android's standard backup, so your device may back up the local game data described above to your own Google account if you have device backup turned on. We have no access to those backups.
Data sharing, retention and security
We do not sell data and do not run a backend. Data handled by Google's ad software is governed by Google's policies linked above. Game data stays on your device and is removed when you uninstall the app or clear its data.
Children
Aling Tindera is intended for users aged 13 and over. It is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has used the app, contact us and, where possible, clear the app's data and your device's advertising ID.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes, the date above will be updated and the new version published at this address.
