The app may store some information on your device using local storage, including:

• Onboarding completion state.
• Authentication tokens and user ID.
• Cached profile/game state such as username, display name, gender, scores, daily play status, seen question IDs, recent duel question IDs, country flag, profile frame, and owned frames.

Local storage helps the app keep you signed in and restore your preferences. Removing the app or clearing app data may delete local data from your device, but it may not delete server-side account data.

Technical Information

When the app communicates with our backend, standard technical data may be processed, such as:

• IP address.
• Device and platform information sent by the operating system, browser, app store, Firebase, or network stack.
