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

Ninetiles has no advertising or automatic analytics and does not automatically send reports to the developer. Online play uses Apple's Game Center. You can also explicitly share a Daily result, game archive, or problem report using the iOS share sheet.

What is stored on your device

The app saves the following on your own device, where it stays. It leaves your phone only through Game Center or a sharing action you choose, as described 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, including unfinished Daily words, so you can come back.
• A short, bounded record of recent actions and performance timings to help investigate problems.

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.

Sharing and optional problem reports

You choose whether and where to share a report. Before sharing, you can inspect its contents and turn off board and tile details. Reports include the app version, device family, iOS version, recent actions, save and delivery status, recent game scores, and any note you enter. If enabled, they also include the current board, your own tiles, and recent public placements. They exclude player names, Game Center identifiers, opponents' racks, future tiles, and the game's random seed. Local pass-and-play reports omit private racks. Nothing is sent automatically.

Daily links contain the dated board identity and your submitted play. Game archive exports contain more detailed completed-game histories. Review what you share and choose a recipient you trust. Reports sent to the developer are used to investigate and respond to the problem; you may request deletion using the contact address below.

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 has no ads or automatic analytics. Optional report notes are free text; avoid including personal information that is not needed to explain the problem.

Changes to this policy

This page will be updated when the app's information handling changes. This version covers optional problem reports introduced in Ninetiles 1.4.0.
