Privacy Policy

1. Overview

Hex Gomoku is a mobile strategy game. The app does not require registration and does not ask users to create a personal account. Most gameplay and preference data is intended to support app features such as player profiles, settings, Elo progress, and game-related functionality.

2. Information Stored on Your Device

The app may store the following information locally on your device:

• player profiles and player names created inside the app
• Elo ratings and Elo history
• game settings and app preferences
• board size, AI settings, and similar gameplay configuration
• local game history or move log data used by app features
• debug or test settings when using development versions of the app

3. Data Sent Off Device

Depending on the current version of Hex Gomoku, some gameplay-related data may be transmitted off your device to support app functionality, testing, synchronization, analytics, crash diagnostics, or similar technical features.

This may include gameplay data, technical app information, and device-related identifiers provided by platform or backend services, such as Firebase or similar infrastructure.

4. Personal Data

Hex Gomoku is not designed to collect directly identifying personal information such as your real name, postal address, or phone number as part of normal gameplay.

The app does not require a personal account. Information processed by the app is generally limited to gameplay, technical, and preference-related data.

5. Data Sharing

Hex Gomoku does not sell personal data. Data may, however, be processed by third-party service providers that support app functionality, hosting, analytics, diagnostics, distribution, billing, or platform services.

If the app offers system sharing features, such as sharing a game result or screenshot, content is only shared when you actively choose to do so using your device's sharing options.

6. Third-Party Services

Hex Gomoku may use third-party services such as Google Play services, Google Play billing, Firebase, analytics tools, crash reporting tools, rating links, or other platform-related services.

These services may process technical information, device-related identifiers, app usage data, or gameplay-related data as needed to provide their functionality.

7. Data Deletion and User Requests

Because Hex Gomoku does not use personal user accounts, data stored or processed by the app may not be linked to an identifiable user profile.

As a result, individual deletion requests may not always be technically possible when the developer cannot reliably associate stored data with a specific user.

If you have privacy-related questions or would like to submit a data-related request, you may contact the developer at: ynot4u2@gmail.com

8. Local Data Removal

Because much of the app's data is stored locally, you can generally remove local app data by clearing the app's storage or uninstalling the app from your device, subject to your device and platform behavior.

9. Children

Hex Gomoku is a general-audience strategy game and is not specifically directed to children. If platform requirements or app content change, this policy may be updated to reflect additional disclosures where necessary.

10. Data Security

Reasonable efforts are made to reduce unnecessary data collection and to use appropriate technical measures for data handling. However, no method of electronic storage or transmission is completely secure.

11. Contact

12. Changes to This Policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time to reflect changes in the app, platform requirements, or legal obligations. The updated version will be published at the same URL.
