Privacy Policy

Last Updated: May 30, 2026

This Privacy Policy describes how Tic-Tac-Toe ("we," "us," or "our") handles information when you use the Tic-Tac-Toe mobile application.

1. About Tic-Tac-Toe

Tic-Tac-Toe is a family-friendly board game app that lets you:

2. Information We Collect

Tic-Tac-Toe does not require an account and does not ask you to provide your name, email address, phone number, precise location, contacts, photos, camera access, microphone access, or health information.

2.1 Local App Settings

The app stores gameplay preference data locally on your device so the game can function properly. This may include:

This local settings data is stored on your device using Android DataStore. We do not upload these settings to our servers.

2.2 Advertising and Device Information

Tic-Tac-Toe uses Google AdMob to display banner advertisements. Google AdMob may collect or process information such as device identifiers, advertising ID, IP address, approximate location inferred from IP address, app interactions, ad views, diagnostics, and other data described in Google's policies. Tic-Tac-Toe declares the Google advertising ID permission for this purpose.

We configure AdMob with child-directed treatment and a maximum G-rated ad content setting. However, Google's handling of advertising data is governed by Google's own privacy policies and consent requirements.

2.3 Developer App Catalog Request

The app may request a public list of other developer apps from https://healthplate.org/api/projects. This request does not require an account and does not send your Tic-Tac-Toe game board or saved settings. Like most web requests, our server may receive standard technical information such as IP address, request time, and user agent string for security, reliability, and server operations.

3. How We Use Information

We use information only to operate and improve the app experience:

4. Information Sharing

We do not sell your personal information. We do not share your local Tic-Tac-Toe settings with third parties.

Information may be processed by third-party services used by the app, including Google AdMob and Google Play services, as described in their own privacy policies. We may also disclose information if required by law or to protect our rights, users, or services.

5. Third-Party Services

Tic-Tac-Toe uses or may interact with the following third-party services:

We encourage you to review Google's privacy policy and AdMob disclosures for more information about Google's data practices.

6. Data Retention

Your app preferences remain on your device until you clear app data or uninstall the app. We do not keep a server copy of your Tic-Tac-Toe settings or game activity.

Server logs for requests to healthplate.org may be retained for a limited period for security, diagnostics, and operational purposes.

7. Your Choices and Rights

8. Children's Privacy

Tic-Tac-Toe is designed to be family-friendly. The app does not require accounts and does not knowingly collect personal information from children. Ads are configured for child-directed treatment and G-rated ad content. If you believe a child has provided personal information to us, please contact us and we will take appropriate action.

9. Security

We use reasonable safeguards to protect our services. Local app data is protected by Android's app sandbox and device security features. No method of electronic storage or transmission is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

10. International Users

If you use Tic-Tac-Toe outside the United States, information processed by third-party services or our public server endpoints may be processed in the United States or other countries where those services operate.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make changes, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of the app after an update means you accept the updated policy.

12. Contact Information

For privacy-related questions or data requests, contact us at:

We typically respond within 24-48 hours during business days.
