Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 9, 2026

This Privacy Policy applies to the Challenge Tic-Tac-Toe mobile application ("App") and its associated services.

1. Information We Collect

Challenge Tic-Tac-Toe is designed with your privacy in mind. We collect minimal information strictly necessary to facilitate multiplayer online gameplay.

2. How We Use Information

The information collected is used exclusively for the following purposes:

We do not use your information for marketing, profiling, or tracking. Nicknames and session data are ephemeral and are not permanently archived.

3. Third-Party Services

The App uses third-party services that may collect information used to identify you, specifically for network data synchronization and error reporting:

4. Data Retention and Deletion

Active game session data (Room Codes, participant nicknames, and current game states) is stored in Firebase Firestore and expires shortly after the session concludes or becomes inactive. You do not need an account to play, and therefore there is no long-term persistent account data to delete.

5. Children's Privacy

Our App is safe for all ages, including children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from anyone. If you are a parent or guardian and you believe your child has provided us with personal information (such as using a real name as a Nickname), you can instruct them to clear the app data or change the Nickname in the app settings.

6. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page. These changes are effective immediately after they are posted.

7. Contact Us

If you have any questions or suggestions about our Privacy Policy, do not hesitate to contact the developer through the contact information provided on our Google Play Store listing.
