2. Your Privacy Choices

2.1 App Tracking Transparency (ATT)

When you first launch Swosh, you'll see a prompt asking for permission to track your activity across other apps and websites. This is required by Apple's App Tracking Transparency framework.

If you allow tracking:

• AdMob can use your IDFA to show personalized ads based on your interests
• Ads may be more relevant to you

If you deny tracking:

• AdMob will show non-personalized (contextual) ads instead
• You'll still see the same number of ads, but they won't be tailored to your interests

You can change this setting anytime in: Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking → Swosh
