Privacy Policy - Tic Tac Toe

This Privacy Policy describes how Tic Tac Toe ("we", "our", or "the app") handles your information. We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about the limited data the app processes.

1. Summary: Minimal Data Collection

🛡️ Your Gameplay Stays on Your Device

Tic Tac Toe is a local two-player board game. Your match results, scoreboard, and custom player names are stored only on your device. We do not collect, upload, or store your personal information on our own servers.

2. Information Stored on Your Device

To provide persistent stats and a personalised experience, the app stores the following locally on your device:

Game Statistics: Wins, losses, draws, round numbers, and session history used to power the persistent scoreboard.
Player Names / Aliases: Any custom names or avatars you choose for the two local players.
Preferences: Simple settings such as sound and theme choices.

This data is saved in a local, app-private database and is removed if you clear the app's data or uninstall the app. It is never transmitted to us.

3. Third-Party Services & Advertising

The app uses Google AdMob to display banner and interstitial advertisements that support ongoing development.

Google AdMob and its advertising partners may collect and use standard device identifiers (such as the Android Advertising ID), approximate location, and app interaction data in accordance with Google's Privacy Policy to serve relevant ads and prevent ad fraud.

For more details on how Google processes ad data, please review: Google Ad Policies & Privacy
You can opt out of personalised advertising through your device settings under Google > Ads or Privacy > Ads.

4. Device Permissions

The app requests the minimum permissions necessary to function:

INTERNET & ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE: Required by the Google AdMob SDK to load advertisements. The game itself is fully playable offline without an active internet connection.

5. Data Security

Your gameplay data never leaves your device and is protected by the Android app sandbox. We do not maintain servers that store your personal information.

6. Children's Privacy

The app is a family-friendly game suitable for general audiences. We do not knowingly collect personal identifiable information from children or anyone else. Any locally stored names are chosen by the user and remain on the device.

7. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date. Continued use of the app constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
