Your privacy in TurnPlay

What we store

• On this device: your guest name, avatar, install date (for the 21-day ad-free period), settings, practice statistics and any unfinished local match.
• On our server, only once you play online: a guest id, your nickname and avatar, the date you first installed, your online matches (moves, scores, results), your per-game ratings, and, if you create an account, your email address and a hashed password.
• For notifications: the push token of this device, so we can tell you when it is your turn online.
• For purchases: a record that "Remove ads" was bought, with the store's transaction reference. We never see your payment details.

Playing nearby

Nearby games connect directly to the other phone over Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. Nothing about a nearby game, practice game or pass & play game is sent to our server.

Permissions

• Bluetooth / nearby devices (and, on some Android versions, location): only to find and connect to a friend's phone for a nearby game. Your location is never stored or sent anywhere.
• Camera: only to scan the QR code of a nearby game, if you choose to. No pictures are taken or kept.
• Notifications: only for "your turn" alerts in online games. You can turn them off in your phone's settings.

Services we use

• Google Firebase Cloud Messaging delivers the notifications. It receives this device's push token and a Firebase installation id.
• Google AdMob shows the ads (see Ads below). Google may use your device's advertising identifier and IP address to show and measure ads, as described in Google's privacy policy.
• Apple App Store and Google Play handle purchases. We only receive the store's confirmation that "Remove ads" was bought.

What we don't do

• No chat, no messages between players, no location tracking, no contacts.
• We never send your moves or match history to advertising networks.
• We don't fingerprint your device. A guest is just a random id stored in the app.

Ads

After the 21-day ad-free period, ads may appear between completed matches (never during a game, tutorial, pairing or pass & play). Where the law requires it we ask for your consent first; if you decline, only non-personalised ads (or none) are shown. You can change this any time under Settings › Ad privacy options.

How long we keep it

• Your profile, matches and ratings: as long as your account exists.
• Abuse reports and security logs: 12 months.
• When you delete your data, your nickname, avatar, email, password and push tokens are removed straight away. Only the random install id and its first-install date are kept, so the 21-day ad-free period is not restarted. Finished online matches stay in your opponents' history with your name replaced by "Deleted player", so their results and ratings stay correct.

Delete your data

Settings › Delete my data removes your online data as described above and resets the app on this device. You can keep playing as a new guest afterwards. A purchased "Remove ads" can be restored from the store at any time.
