Privacy Policy

Last Updated: January 2025

TL;DR: Tic Tac Toe Classic is designed with privacy in mind. We don't collect, store, or share any personal information. All your game data stays on your device. No ads, no tracking, no analytics.

1. Introduction

Welcome to Tic Tac Toe Classic ("the App"), developed by IndicStudio ("we," "us," or "our"). We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring you have a positive experience while using our application.

This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information in relation to the App. By using Tic Tac Toe Classic, you agree to the terms outlined in this policy.

2. Information We Collect

Tic Tac Toe Classic is designed to respect your privacy. We want to be completely transparent about data handling:

2.1 Information We DO NOT Collect

Personal Information: We do not collect any personally identifiable information such as your name, email address, phone number, or location.
Usage Data: We do not track how you use the app, what features you access, or how long you play.
Device Information: We do not collect information about your device, including device model, operating system, or unique identifiers.
Analytics: We do not use any third-party analytics services or tracking tools.
Advertising Data: We do not serve ads and therefore do not collect any advertising identifiers or related data.

2.2 Information Stored Locally

The following information is stored only on your device and never leaves your device:

Game Preferences: Your theme selection (Light/Dark mode), sound settings, vibration settings, and AI difficulty preference.
Game Statistics: Your win/loss/draw records and game history for personal tracking.
Game State: Current game board state if you exit mid-game (so you can resume later).

All this data is stored using Android's DataStore Preferences API and remains entirely on your device. We have no access to this data, and it is not transmitted anywhere.

3. How We Use Information

Since we don't collect any information, there is no data usage to describe. The app functions entirely offline, and all game logic is processed locally on your device.

The locally stored preferences are used solely to:

Remember your theme and settings preferences
Display your game statistics
Provide a personalized gaming experience

4. Data Sharing and Third Parties

We do not share any data with third parties. The app does not integrate with any third-party services, analytics platforms, advertising networks, or social media platforms.

The app does not require any permissions that would allow access to your personal information, contacts, photos, or other sensitive data.

5. Data Security

Since all data is stored locally on your device using Android's secure DataStore API, your data security depends on your device's security measures. We recommend:

Keeping your device's operating system up to date
Using a secure lock screen
Being cautious about apps you install from unknown sources

If you uninstall the app, all locally stored data will be removed from your device.

6. Children's Privacy

Tic Tac Toe Classic is suitable for users of all ages, including children. Since we don't collect any personal information, the app complies with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and similar regulations worldwide.

Parents and guardians can be confident that no data about their children is collected, stored, or shared through this app.

7. Your Rights

As a user, you have complete control over your data:

Access: All your data is stored locally on your device and accessible through the app's settings.
Deletion: You can reset your game statistics within the app, or completely remove all data by uninstalling the app.
Control: You can modify your preferences at any time through the app's settings screen.

8. International Users

Tic Tac Toe Classic can be used worldwide. Since no data is collected or transmitted, there are no cross-border data transfer concerns. The app functions entirely offline on your local device.

9. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal, operational, or regulatory reasons. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date.

We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically. Continued use of the app after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.

10. Open Source and Transparency

We believe in transparency. If you have technical questions about how the app handles data, you can review the following aspects:

The app uses Android's DataStore Preferences API for local storage
No network permissions are requested or used
No third-party SDKs or libraries that collect data are included
The app operates entirely offline

11. Legal Compliance

This app complies with:

GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) - European Union
CCPA (California Consumer Privacy Act) - California, USA
COPPA (Children's Online Privacy Protection Act) - USA
Other Privacy Laws - International privacy regulations

Since we don't collect any personal data, these compliance requirements are naturally met.
