Dhess – Privacy Policy

Data controller

1. About the app

Dhess is a chess-like placement puzzle: the player puts every piece on the board so that no two of them attack each other.

The app does not require an account, registration, name, phone number, or email address. The app does not operate its own user-account or application backend. The app does not request access to location, contacts, camera, microphone, or photo library data. The app does not include in-app purchases or subscription features.

Hints are paid for with credits. Credits are earned by solving levels, arrive once a day, and can be added by choosing to watch an ad. They cannot be bought and have no monetary value.

2. Data stored locally

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

• game progress: solved levels, the level in progress with its moves, and statistics;
• the credit balance and the time of the last daily credits;
• game and display settings, such as sound, piece color, which controls are shown, and auto check;
• whether the tutorial has been shown;
• review-prompt data: the number of launches and solved levels, and when and in which version the last prompt appeared.

This information is not sent to my own server. Local data can be removed by deleting the app or clearing its app data.

3. Sound credits

The sounds used in the app are from Pixabay, under the Pixabay Content License:

• Move sound: Household wood door knock
• Completion sound: Musical digital success chime
• Error sound: Film special effects training program incorrect

4. Google AdMob advertising

The app displays advertisements provided by Google AdMob: a banner on the level list, and rewarded ads that the player may choose to watch for extra credits. Watching a rewarded ad is always optional. To serve, measure, and protect advertising services, Google and its advertising partners may process technical information such as:

• IP address and approximate regional information;
• device and operating-system information;
• technical or advertising identifiers;
• ad impressions and ad interactions;
• app version and technical operating environment.

Whether personalized advertising is used depends on applicable consent and opt-out settings.

More information:

• Google Privacy Policy
• Google AdMob

5. Google User Messaging Platform (UMP)

The app uses Google User Messaging Platform (UMP) to manage privacy choices related to advertising.

For users in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland, UMP may display the required privacy-consent messages. Users in applicable US states can manage available opt-out choices through the app’s privacy settings.

Privacy settings are available from Info / Privacy options in the app when UMP determines that a privacy-options entry point is required.

6. Firebase Crashlytics

The app uses Firebase Crashlytics to detect, investigate, and fix crashes and other technical problems.

Crashlytics may process, among other things:

• crash reports and stack traces;
• app version and package identifier;
• operating-system and device information;
• Crashlytics and Firebase installation identifiers;
• the time and technical context of a crash.

The app does not directly request a name, phone number, or email address.

More information is available in the Firebase Privacy and Security documentation.

Google, Firebase, and the other third-party service providers used by the app provide data protection that is the same as or equivalent to the protection described in this Privacy Policy, as applicable to their services.

7. IDFA and App Tracking Transparency

The app currently does not request App Tracking Transparency (ATT) permission and does not request access to Apple’s IDFA advertising identifier.

If this changes in the future, this Privacy Policy and the app-store privacy disclosures will be updated.

8. Data retention

Information stored locally by the app remains on the device until the user deletes it, removes the app, or clears the app’s data.

Google AdMob and Firebase Crashlytics process and retain information according to their own privacy, security, and retention policies. According to Firebase, Crashlytics retains certain crash and identifier data for 90 days.

9. Data security

Network communication uses secure protocols supported by the relevant services. The relevant data controllers apply reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect data.

10. Your rights

Subject to applicable law, you may request access to personal data concerning you, correction or deletion of data, restriction of processing, objection to processing, withdrawal of consent, and information about data processing.

Requests may be sent using the controller contact details listed above. Complaints may be submitted to the relevant data-protection authority in your country of residence or location.

11. Children

The app is not directed at children and does not knowingly collect personal information from children.

12. Changes to this policy

I may update this Privacy Policy when introducing a new feature, SDK, or data-processing practice. The latest version will show a new “Last updated” date.
