Privacy Policy

Last Updated: December 14, 2025

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our mobile application "Backgammon Lite" (the "App"), a single-player and/or multiplayer backgammon game for Android devices.

We are committed to protecting your privacy. The App is designed to collect minimal personal information. Please read this Privacy Policy carefully. By downloading, installing, or using the App, you agree to the practices described in this policy.

1. Information We Collect

The App collects limited information to provide core functionality, improve the user experience, and serve advertisements (if applicable).

a. Information Collected Automatically

• Device Information: We may collect non-personal information about your device, such as device ID, Android version, device model, language settings, and country. This helps us optimize the App for different devices.
• App Usage Data: Information about how you interact with the App, such as game progress, scores, session duration, and crash reports (if enabled via Android tools). This is anonymized and used to fix bugs and improve gameplay.
• Advertising ID: If the App displays ads, we use Google's Advertising ID (a resettable identifier) for serving personalized advertisements.

We do not collect:

• Your name, email address, phone number, or any other personally identifiable information.
• Precise location data.
• Contacts, photos, or other sensitive device data.

b. Third-Party Services

The App integrates third-party services that may collect information used to serve ads and analyze usage:

• Google AdMob / Google Mobile Ads: For displaying advertisements. Google may collect device information, Advertising ID, and usage data to provide interest-based ads. Google's privacy practices are described here.
• Google Play Services: For core Android functionality, such as crash reporting (optional) and in-app updates.

These third parties have their own privacy policies, and their data collection is governed by those policies. We do not control their practices.

If the App uses online multiplayer features in the future, additional data (e.g., anonymized player IDs) may be collected, and this policy will be updated accordingly.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the collected information for the following purposes:

• To operate and maintain the App (e.g., saving game progress locally on your device).
• To display advertisements and support free gameplay.
• To analyze App performance and fix issues.
• To comply with legal requirements.

We do not sell your personal information.

3. Sharing of Information

We do not share your personal information with third parties except:

• With service providers (e.g., Google for ads and analytics) under strict confidentiality.
• If required by law, such as in response to a court order.
• In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets (your information may be transferred as part of that transaction).

4. Data Security

We take reasonable measures to protect your information, including encryption for local storage and secure transmission where applicable. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure.

5. Your Choices and Controls

• Opt-Out of Personalized Ads: You can reset your Advertising ID or opt out of interest-based ads in your device settings: Settings > Google > Ads > Opt out of Ads Personalization (on Android devices).
• Uninstall the App: You can stop all data collection by uninstalling the App.
• Data Deletion: Since we collect minimal data and store most locally on your device, uninstalling removes it from your device. Contact us if you have concerns about third-party data.

6. Children's Privacy

The App is not intended for children under 13 years of age (or the applicable age in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we learn that we have collected such information, we will delete it promptly. Parents/guardians should contact us if they believe their child has provided information.

7. International Users

The App is hosted in the United States. If you access it from outside this region, your information may be transferred to and processed in that location, subject to local laws.

8. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of material changes by posting the new policy in the App or on Google Play, with an updated "Last Updated" date. Continued use of the App after changes constitutes acceptance.
