Privacy Policy for Tic Tac Toe
Tic Tac Toe (the “App”) is developed and published by SHA Platforms (“we,” “us,” or “our”). This Privacy Policy explains how information is handled when you use the App.
1. APP FEATURES
The App provides local Tic Tac Toe gameplay against a computer opponent or another player using the same device. It includes selectable board sizes, difficulty settings, scores, sound and vibration preferences, and Google AdMob interstitial advertisements at specific exit transitions.
2. INFORMATION PROVIDED DIRECTLY TO SHA PLATFORMS
The App does not require an account or login. SHA Platforms does not ask you to provide your name, email address, telephone number, postal address, photographs, contacts, precise location, or payment information through the App.
3. LOCAL GAME DATA
Gameplay information and preferences—including board size, game mode, difficulty, X or O selection, scores, sound, and vibration—are used to operate the App on your device.
SHA Platforms does not operate a custom server for this information. Removing the App or clearing its application data may delete locally stored information.
4. ADVERTISING AND GOOGLE ADMOB
The App uses Google AdMob, a third-party advertising service provided by Google. The current advertising format is interstitial advertising shown only at natural exit transitions:
- Leaving a game and returning to Game Setup
- Leaving a game and returning to Home
- Leaving Game Setup and returning to Home
The App does not use banner ads, rewarded ads, or app-open ads in the current version.
Google and its advertising partners may automatically collect or process information such as device identifiers, advertising identifiers, IP address, general device information, operating-system information, app interactions, ad impressions, approximate location inferred from an IP address, consent signals, and diagnostic information.
The exact information processed depends on the user’s region, privacy choices, device settings, and the type of advertisement served.
Google processes this information under its own terms and privacy policies. For more information, visit:
https://policies.google.com/privacy
https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads
5. CONSENT AND PRIVACY CHOICES
The App uses Google’s User Messaging Platform (UMP) to request and manage privacy choices where required, including for users in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland.
Depending on your region and choices, Google may serve personalized, non-personalized, limited, or technical advertisements.
Non-personalized advertising may still use device information, local storage, or identifiers for purposes such as frequency capping, aggregated reporting, fraud prevention, and basic advertisement delivery.
Where required, you can review or change available advertising privacy choices through:
Settings → Privacy Choices
You may also restrict advertising tracking through your Android or iOS device settings.
6. SOUND AND VIBRATION SETTINGS
The App includes locally stored Sound and Vibration preferences.
The App uses local audio files for gameplay sounds, including button, move, win, and draw sounds. These sounds are included in the App and are not downloaded from an external server.
Vibration and haptic feedback may be used for gameplay moves, wins, and draw results when enabled.
7. DEVICE PERMISSIONS
The App does not require access to contacts, photographs, videos, camera, microphone, or precise location for gameplay.
If vibration is enabled, the App may use the device’s vibration function for gameplay feedback.
The advertising SDK may use network access and device-provided advertising technologies as permitted by the operating system, applicable law, and your consent choices.
8. SHARING AND SALE OF INFORMATION
SHA Platforms does not sell personal information provided directly through the App.
Advertising-related information may be processed by Google and participating advertising partners for advertisement delivery, measurement, security, fraud prevention, and—where the user has consented—personalization.
9. DATA RETENTION AND DELETION
SHA Platforms does not maintain user accounts or a custom server database for the App.
Local App data, including Sound and Vibration settings, can generally be removed by clearing the App’s data or uninstalling the App.
Advertising providers determine the retention of information they process under their respective policies and legal obligations.
Users can manage available advertising choices through the UMP Privacy Choices entry in Settings and through device privacy settings.
10. CHILDREN’S PRIVACY
The App is a simple strategy game intended for a general audience and is not specifically directed to children.
SHA Platforms does not knowingly request personal information directly from children through the App. Parents or guardians should supervise children’s use of apps and device privacy settings.
If you believe a child has provided personal information directly to SHA Platforms, please contact us so that we can review the request and take appropriate action.
11. SECURITY
We use reasonable measures appropriate to the App’s design. However, no electronic system or third-party service can be guaranteed completely secure.
Users are responsible for maintaining the security of their devices.
12. INTERNATIONAL PROCESSING
Google and its advertising partners may process advertising-related information in countries other than the user’s country of residence, subject to their legal safeguards, policies, and applicable law.
13. APP STORES
Google Play and the Apple App Store may independently process information when you download, update, purchase, or review the App.
Their processing is governed by their respective privacy policies and is not controlled by SHA Platforms.
14. CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY
We may update this Privacy Policy when the App, advertising services, applicable laws, or app-store requirements change.
The current version will be published inside the App and on the official SHA Platforms website with an updated “Last Updated” date.
