PRIVACY POLICY

Ninetiles — Word Blitz

Ninetiles does not collect any personal data. There is no account, no analytics, no advertising, and no tracking of any kind.

This policy describes what the app does and does not do with information. It is short because the app genuinely does very little.

What the app collects

Nothing. Ninetiles contains no analytics software, no advertising software, and no third-party code libraries of any kind. It does not send information about you, your device, or your play to the developer or to anyone else. There is no server operated by the developer, so there is nowhere for such information to go.

What is stored on your device

The app saves the following on your own device, where it stays. None of it leaves your phone except as described under Game Center below.

• Your settings — board size, game length, rack shape, sound, theme, and the other options in the menus.
• Your high scores and the history of games you have finished.
• Games in progress, so you can close the app and come back.

All of this is removed when you delete the app.

Game Center, for playing other people

Online matches use Game Center, which is Apple's service. If you choose to play someone online, Apple handles finding your opponent, delivering turns between your devices, and any notifications. That means:

• Apple's servers carry the state of the match between the two devices. The developer does not operate or have access to those servers.
• You and your opponent can see each other's Game Center display names, as you would in any Game Center game.
• Apple's own privacy policy governs Game Center. You can read it at apple.com/legal/privacy.

Everything else in the app — solo play, pass and play, co-op, puzzles, and Mirror matches played from a code — works entirely offline and involves no network connection at all.

Looking up words

The definition lookup uses the dictionary built into iOS. The word is looked up on your device by Apple's own system component. The app does not send words you look up anywhere.

Children

Ninetiles is suitable for all ages and collects no personal information from anyone, including children. Because nothing is collected, there is nothing to request parental consent for and nothing to delete.

Changes to this policy

If a future version of the app ever collects anything, this page will be updated before that version is released, and the change will be described here rather than buried. As of the date below, it collects nothing.
