Privacy Policy

Tic Tac Toe is a classic mobile game built for quick, simple entertainment. The App is designed to function primarily as an offline game, meaning you can play without an internet connection. Depending on the version of the App you install, the App may also display optional advertisements when internet connectivity is available.

We take privacy seriously and aim to be transparent and accurate. The App itself does not require you to create an account, does not ask for your name, phone number, address, or contacts, and does not request sensitive permissions such as access to your photos, microphone, or precise GPS location. As a result, the App does not build personal profiles of users.

However, if ads are enabled, the App may integrate third‑party advertising technology (for example, Google AdMob). Those third‑party services can automatically collect limited technical data that is typically necessary for ad delivery, measurement, and fraud prevention. This policy explains what that means and what choices you may have.

Data collected directly by the App: The core gameplay of the App does not require personal information. We do not directly collect, store, or request personal details such as your full name, email address, phone number, postal address, or contact list.

Data that may be collected by third‑party advertising services (if ads are enabled): Advertising SDKs may automatically process certain information to function correctly. This information may include:

• Device information (such as device model, OS version, language, and screen size) to render ads properly and diagnose delivery issues.
• IP address which may be used to provide region‑appropriate ads, comply with legal requirements, and reduce fraudulent traffic.
• Advertising ID (e.g., Android Advertising ID/AAID) to manage ad frequency, measure performance, and support attribution and fraud prevention.

The categories of data processed can vary based on your device settings, your region, your consent choices (where applicable), and how the App’s ad configuration is implemented. We do not request this information from you directly; rather, it may be automatically collected by the third‑party SDK when it attempts to load ads.

Because the App does not collect personal data directly, we do not use personal data to identify you. Where third‑party advertising services process information, that information is generally used for purposes such as:

• Ad delivery (showing ads when the App is online and ad inventory is available).
• Ad measurement (counting impressions, clicks, and performance metrics to understand whether ads are working).
• Improving user experience (diagnostics that help reduce crashes, loading failures, or broken ad rendering).
• Security and fraud prevention (detecting invalid traffic, automated abuse, or policy‑violating behavior).

We do not sell personal information. We do not use advertising data to contact you. We do not knowingly attempt to link ad identifiers to a real‑world identity.

The App may use third‑party services to provide advertising. These providers may operate under their own privacy policies and terms. If ads are enabled, the App is intended to show ads only when an internet connection is available.

Google AdMob: The App may use Google AdMob for serving ads. AdMob can process technical and advertising data (such as the Advertising ID, IP address, and device diagnostics) to deliver ads, measure performance, and prevent fraud. The exact data processed depends on regional legal requirements and your device/consent settings.

Ad delivery generally occurs when the App is online. If you are offline, ads may not load, and the game is designed to remain playable.

AdMob Privacy Policy (link placeholder): https://policies.google.com/privacy

In regions where consent is required by law (including the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom, and Switzerland), the App may request your consent before enabling personalized ads.

The App may use the User Messaging Platform (UMP) SDK (or a comparable consent mechanism) to present a consent form. This consent form can explain what types of data may be processed for advertising and measurement and allows you to make choices.

• Accept: You may allow data processing for personalized ads where available.
• Reject: You may decline personalized ads. Where supported, you may still see non‑personalized ads.
• Change your choice: You can often adjust choices later using in‑app consent options (if provided) or through device privacy settings.

Your experience can differ depending on regional requirements, available ad inventory, and platform rules. Refusing personalized ads should not prevent you from using the core offline gameplay features of the App.

The App is designed to be offline‑first. You can play without an internet connection. When you are offline, online services such as advertisements cannot load. In that situation, the App should continue to function normally, and gameplay features remain available.

If you later connect to the internet and ads are enabled, the App may request ads from the configured ad provider. The presence of ads may vary based on network conditions and provider availability.

The App is intended for a general audience and is not specifically directed toward children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

If you believe that a child has provided personal information through a third‑party service used by the App, please contact us. We will take reasonable steps to help address the issue, including guiding you to the relevant third‑party controls.

We follow reasonable technical and organizational practices to keep the App stable and to minimize privacy risk. The App does not store personal user accounts or sensitive personal data.

Third‑party providers (such as advertising services) are responsible for the security controls used in their systems. While reputable providers employ industry‑standard safeguards, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security, but we aim to use trustworthy services and configurations.

Depending on your location, you may have rights related to personal data. Because the App does not directly collect personal data, many controls are managed through your device and third‑party providers.

• Advertising controls: You can reset or limit your Advertising ID in your device settings.
• Personalized ads: You may be able to opt out of ad personalization through platform privacy settings.
• Consent choices: Where applicable, you may change consent through the App’s consent screen (if implemented) or device controls.
• Requests: If you need help understanding available options, you can contact us using the email below.

If you contact us, we will respond within a reasonable time and provide practical guidance.

We may update this Privacy Policy at any time to reflect changes in the App, third‑party services, or legal requirements. When we update this policy, we will update the date displayed at the top of the page.

If the changes are significant, we may also provide additional notice within the App or through the store listing. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
