GameOn Privacy Policy
The short version
GameOn is a scorekeeper for board and card games. Everything you enter stays on your phone unless you choose to send it. The app has no accounts, makes no network connections, and never sends anything to Ischtafer LLC or anyone else by itself.
What the app keeps on your phone
- the players you add: a name or nickname, a colour and an avatar picked from the app's built-in set
- the games you play: which game, who played, the scores, rounds and winners
- results from other tables that you chose to add from a results file
- the points, badges and statistics the app works out from those games
- your settings, such as theme, sound and vibration
The app does not ask for your contacts, location, photos, camera or microphone. Its only device permission is vibration, used for feedback when you tap.
Things you choose to send
- Sharing a win. When you tap Share after a game, the app makes a short video of the winner screen and hands it to the app you choose from Android's share menu. What happens next is up to that app.
- Results files. When you tap Send, the app writes a results file for a night of games, or for one player's games at your table, and hands it to the app you choose from Android's share menu. The file holds, for each of those games: the game, when it was played, its house rules (and, for a custom game, how it's scored); every player's name, colour, avatar, final score and place; the badges earned in it; your table's name; and random ID numbers for the table, the players and the games, so the same game isn't added twice and players can be recognised from one phone to the next. It never holds round-by-round scores, other games, or anything about your phone. Anyone who receives the file can read the names and scores in it, so send it only to people you'd show the scores to.
- Receiving results. When you open a results file someone sent you, the games you played are added to your own record on your phone, and you can choose to add the other players to your players list. Nothing is read unless you open the file.
- Suggesting a game. “Suggest a game” opens your own email app with a message to us already written. Nothing is sent unless you send it. If you do, we receive your email address and what you wrote, and use them only to read and reply to your suggestion.
- Backup and restore. Backups are saved as a file in a place you choose, and restored only from a file you pick. GameOn never uploads them anywhere.
- Android backup. If Android's own backup is turned on, your phone may include GameOn's data in the backup it keeps in your Google account. Google handles that backup under its own policies, and you control it in your phone's settings.
What we do not do
GameOn contains no advertising, no analytics and no third-party tracking or crash-reporting tools. Your information is never sold, rented or shared.
What Google collects
Google Play may provide Ischtafer LLC with aggregated, anonymous statistics about installs, crashes and app performance. These are used only to fix problems. They do not include anything you entered in the app.
Deleting your data
Because we never receive your data, there is nothing for us to delete. You can delete it yourself: remove individual players or games in the app, use “Reset all data” in Settings, or uninstall the app, which erases everything it kept on your phone.
Children
GameOn is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. The app collects no personal information from anyone.
Changes
If the app starts handling information in a way this page does not describe, this page will be updated first and the effective date above will change.
