Board Games - Privacy Policy

Effective: 2026-09-25

At a glance

No sign-up, no login, no account.
The developer collects nothing and runs no server.
The only thing that leaves your device is the banner ad (Google AdMob) at the bottom of the screen.
Your play history stays on your device and is never transmitted.
In the European Economic Area, the UK and Switzerland, we ask for your consent before showing ads.

2. What the developer collects — nothing

This app has no server. The developer does not collect, receive or store any personal data. We never ask for your name, email, phone number, contacts, photos or precise location, and nothing about how you play reaches us.

What is stored on your device only

What	Contents	Where	When it goes
Recently played	A list of game labels (e.g. `omok`, `checkers`)	Your device's internal storage	Deleted when you uninstall the app

It is used for one thing: putting the games you played most recently at the top of the lobby. It identifies nobody, and it never leaves your device.

Separately, the ad SDK (Google) stores its own data on your device: consent records (such as your ad consent choice in Europe) and the identifiers needed for advertising. The developer cannot see what they contain.

3. Advertising (Google AdMob)

A single banner sits at the bottom of the screen. The ads are served by Google AdMob. To do that, Google and its advertising partners process the following.

What	What it is used for
Advertising ID (Android Advertising ID), app set ID and, where applicable, identifiers related to accounts signed in on the device	Serving ads, capping how often you see one, measuring performance; analytics; preventing fraud and abuse; personalisation if you consent
IP address	Delivering the ad; approximate location inferred from the IP (country/city level)
Device and app information (model, OS version, language, screen size, app version)	Choosing an ad that fits the screen; preventing fraud and abuse
Ad interactions (impressions, clicks)	Measuring performance; preventing invalid clicks
App usage information (interactions such as app launches, taps and video views)	Serving ads, measuring performance; analytics; preventing fraud and abuse
Diagnostic information (performance data such as app launch time, hang rate and energy usage)	Serving ads; analysing the performance of the app and the ad SDK; preventing fraud and abuse

The developer never receives any of this. Google also processes it as an independent controller. See Google's documents for details:

4. Consent — giving it, changing it, taking it back

If you are in the EEA, the UK or Switzerland, a consent dialog appears the first time you open the app. It is presented through a Google-certified consent management platform (UMP).

If you consent — you may be shown personalised ads.
If you don't — the app still works exactly the same. Ads become non-personalised. But note that even then, a minimum of data (IP address, approximate location, device information, advertising identifiers and the like) is still processed to deliver ads, cap how often you see the same one and prevent fraud. "Non-personalised" does not mean "nothing is processed".

If you change your mind

Where	How
In the app	The app info (ⓘ) button at the top right of the lobby → Ad consent — reopen the consent dialog at any time and change your answer
On your device	Android Settings → Privacy → Ads → reset or delete your advertising ID
Leaving	Uninstalling the app also removes the play history stored on your device

5. Legal basis (GDPR Art. 6)

For what	Basis
Personalised advertising	Consent — Art. 6(1)(a), collected through the dialog above
Non-personalised advertising, fraud prevention, ad delivery	Consent or legitimate interests — Art. 6(1)(f), depending on your jurisdiction
Play history on your device	Never reaches the developer, so there is no processing on our side

6. International transfers

The developer receives no data at all, so nothing is transferred to us.

Google may transfer data outside the EEA (including to the United States) as part of serving ads. Google states that it relies on lawful transfer mechanisms such as the EU Standard Contractual Clauses. See the Google documents linked above.

8. Your rights

If you are in the EEA or the UK, the GDPR (Art. 15–22) gives you the right to:

access, rectify and erase your data
restrict or object to processing
data portability
withdraw consent at any time (processing done before you withdrew stays lawful)
lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority

Where to send a request. The developer holds none of your data, so requests to access or erase it have to go to Google, who actually holds it (see the Google Privacy Policy). If you are not sure who to ask, write to hanworld@willee.net and we will point you in the right direction.

Complaints. If you live in the EEA you may complain to your national data protection authority; in the UK, to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO).

9. Children

This app is not directed at children. It is listed on Google Play for users aged 13 and over. The developer does not knowingly collect personal data from children.

If you are the parent or guardian of a child under 16 (13–16 depending on the member state) and have a concern about their use of this app, please write to hanworld@willee.net.
