For iOS Users: You will be presented with Apple's App Tracking Transparency (ATT) prompt asking for permission to track your activity across other companies' apps and websites. If you decline, AdMob will not have access to your IDFA and will serve contextual (non-personalized) ads instead.
All advertisements displayed in TinyPedia are filtered for age-appropriate content (PG rating). We have enabled child-directed settings in AdMob to ensure that ads comply with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and are suitable for users aged 9 and above.

However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
