Introduction

Susan Chikanbanjar ("we", "our", or "us") operates the TicTacToe mobile application ("the App"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our App.

By downloading or using the App, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the App.

  • Crash logs and performance diagnostics
  • Approximate location (derived from IP address, not GPS)

Third-Party Services

Our App uses the following third-party services, each with their own privacy policies:

These services may collect information used to identify you. We encourage you to review their respective privacy policies.

Advertising

The App displays advertisements provided by Google AdMob. AdMob may use your Advertising ID and device information to serve personalized ads.

You can control ad personalization:

  • On your Android device, go to Settings → Google → Ads to opt out of personalized advertising
  • Purchase the ad-free version through our in-app purchase option to remove all ads entirely

Premium users who have purchased ad-free access will not be shown any advertisements, and no ad-related data will be collected for them.

In-App Purchases

The App offers a one-time in-app purchase to remove advertisements. All purchase transactions are processed entirely by Google Play Billing. We do not collect, process, or store any payment information such as credit card numbers.

We only receive a purchase confirmation token from Google Play to verify your premium status and remove ads from your experience.

Data Security

We take the security of your data seriously and implement appropriate measures to protect it:

  • All data transmitted between the App and our servers is encrypted using TLS/SSL
  • User authentication is handled securely through Firebase Authentication
  • Database access is protected by Firestore Security Rules restricting access to authorized users only

However, no method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Children's Privacy

The App is rated for general audiences but is not specifically directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 years of age.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us. If we discover that a child under 13 has provided us with personal data, we will take steps to delete that information promptly.

Data Retention & Deletion

We retain your personal data only for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you with the App's services.

When you delete your account, the following data is permanently removed:

  • Account information (name, email, profile photo)
  • Achievement progress and game statistics
  • All Firestore documents associated with your user ID

You can delete your account by:

  • In-app: Tap the profile icon → Delete Account → Confirm
  • Web: Visit our Account Deletion page
  • Email: Contact us at [[email protected]]

Account deletion is processed within 30 days of the request. Anonymized, aggregated data that cannot be linked to your identity may be retained for analytics purposes.

Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the following rights regarding your personal data:

  • Access: request a copy of the data we hold about you
  • Correction: request correction of inaccurate data
  • Deletion: request deletion of your personal data
  • Portability: request your data in a machine-readable format
  • Opt-out: opt out of personalized advertising

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the details in the Contact section below.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Effective" date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.

Continued use of the App after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
