Playing and saving

No account is required. Story progress, offline quick games and preferences are stored on your device. Play with friends is optional and requires Internet: our server receives your chosen nickname, a session identifier, tiles, moves, turns and table scores to enforce the rules and allow reconnection. Other players see your nickname, score, tile count and public moves, not your hidden tiles. The reconnect credential is stored on the device and its hash on the server. Do not use sensitive information as your nickname. Tables are removed from the active database after 30 minutes of inactivity; the reconnect grace period is two minutes. Local backup copies may remain, retaining the last seven, along with hosting technical logs for operation and security. Ads and purchases also use online services when available.

Family sessions from version 1.0.3

This section applies to version 1.0.3, including pre-release testing. Earlier Apple versions do not include the age-selection step in the advertising flow. Availability of the update depends on each store.

On each new app process, a neutral screen asks for an age group: under13,13–17,18+, or prefer not to say. The choice is kept only in memory for that session; we do not store or transmit the selected group or a date of birth. If the player changes, close and reopen the app.

Under18 and unspecified-age sessions do not initialize advertising or purchasing services, request advertising consent, or request Apple's tracking permission. They can play story and quick matches offline, and join private online tables. Their online nickname is fixed as Player. The age group is not sent to the game server. Other players may choose their own nicknames; do not put personal information in a nickname or share table codes publicly. Communication uses four preset reactions, not free-form chat, voice, photos or uploads. Online play still sends the minimum session and gameplay data described below and involves network connection data; the child route is not a claim of no data processing.

Only adult sessions can initialize purchase and advertising services. On Apple, ATT and applicable Google consent govern advertising. On Android, applicable Google consent governs advertising; there is no Apple ATT prompt. The game remains playable without advertising permission. Advertising is restricted to the G content rating. Ad availability is not guaranteed.

On Android, the optional Remove Ads product is handled by Google Play Billing through Unity IAP. Google handles payment, purchase history, refunds and account data under https://policies.google.com/privacy On Apple, StoreKit and Apple's policy apply. Entitlements belong to the store account and do not transfer between stores. Purchase handling may process transaction identifiers and entitlement information; we do not receive full payment-card details.

Parents or guardians may contact contacto@juandiegourdaneta.com about privacy or deletion of data processed by us. Do not send passwords, child identity documents or unnecessary personal details. Table data and hosting logs follow the retention statements below; provider-controlled records follow each provider's policy.

## Advertising

From version 1.0 (47), we request Apple tracking permission (ATT) before starting Google AdMob. If permission is denied, restricted or unresolved, we do not load ads and you can keep playing. When ATT is authorized, Google UMP collects applicable consent choices; ads may be personalized only when those choices and applicable requirements permit it. You can change ATT in iOS Settings and available advertising privacy options within the game.

The game integrates Google AdMob and Google's User Messaging Platform. Depending on the service, device settings and consent, Google may process IP address and approximate location, device identifiers, advertising interactions, usage information, crash reports, performance and other diagnostics. These support ad delivery and measurement, fraud prevention and service operation. Some advertising data may be associated with device identifiers. Advertising technologies may support personalization or tracking where permitted; applicable device permissions and consent choices govern that use. We do not request precise location permission or send story dialogue or saved domino hands to an advertising server.

Where applicable, a Google consent form lets you accept, refuse or manage advertising purposes. Settings shows privacy options when the consent service requires them. If an ad is unavailable, play continues. Buying Remove Ads stops new ad requests and displays in the game; it does not erase data already processed by providers.

Google explains its processing and controls at https://policies.google.com/privacy and https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites

Purchases

The optional Remove Ads purchase is processed by Apple. Unity IAP and StoreKit handle product availability, purchase verification and restoration, including transaction and entitlement information. The game stores purchase entitlement locally for offline access. We do not receive your full payment-card details. Apple account, payment, refund and purchase history processing is described at https://www.apple.com/legal/privacy/ Unity's service privacy information is at https://unity.com/legal/game-player-and-app-user-privacy-policy

Website

Our support website has no contact form, advertising or analytics added by us. Its hosting provider processes technical requests, including IP address and browser information, to deliver and secure the site. Emailing support shares your address and the information you choose to send. Please do not send passwords, payment-card details or other unnecessary sensitive information.

Purposes, retention and transfers

Local data supports gameplay and your saved choices. Support correspondence is used to answer requests. Where data protection law applies, processing relies on providing requested services, legitimate interests such as security and support, legal obligations, or consent where required for advertising. Local saves remain until reset or removed with app data. Support correspondence is kept as needed to resolve requests and meet applicable obligations. Apple, Google, Unity and the hosting provider apply their own retention policies; removing the app does not delete their records.

Providers may process data outside your country, including the United States, using the safeguards described in their policies. We do not sell saved matches or maintain a remote player-profile database.

Your choices and rights

You can change language, sound and help in Settings, reset local progress using the game's controls, and manage available advertising privacy choices. Purchase restoration uses your Apple account. Depending on your location, you may request access, correction, deletion, restriction, portability or objection, withdraw consent without affecting prior lawful processing, or complain to a data protection authority. Contact us using the address above; for data controlled by a provider, its privacy controls and request process also apply. We cannot retrieve local saves that have not been sent to us.

Children and updates

The game is intended for a general audience and is not designed to collect children's personal information. Contact us if you believe a child has provided personal information to us. This policy may change as the game develops; the updated date and current policy are available here and through the game's privacy link.
