Privacy Policy
Last updated: September 24, 2026 · App version 2.5
1. Information We Collect
MK Board Games does not require an account and does not ask you to submit your name, email address, contacts, photos, or payment-card details. MKDEV does not receive or store your personal game records on its own servers.
The app stores the following data locally on your device only, using Android SharedPreferences:
- Game statistics (wins, losses, draws, forfeits) per game mode
- App settings and preferences (board theme, AI difficulty, sound/vibration settings, light/dark mode)
- Active game session state (board position, move history for replay)
When advertising is displayed, Google and its advertising partners may process advertising identifiers, device and operating-system information, IP address, approximate location, ad views and interactions, diagnostics, and information used to prevent fraud and abuse.
2. Permissions Used
The app may use the following permissions and services:
- Internet — loads advertising and communicates with Google Play services.
- Advertising ID — supports advertising measurement and choices where permitted.
- Vibrate — provides haptic feedback during gameplay and move replay.
MK Board Games does not request Camera, Microphone, Contacts, or Storage permissions. Approximate location used for advertising may be inferred by Google from network information; the app does not request device location permission.
3. Advertising
The app may display banner and rewarded advertisements through Google AdMob. Google and its advertising partners may use the information described above to deliver, measure, personalise where permitted, improve, and protect advertising. Google’s privacy policy applies to this processing: Google Privacy Policy.
Where required, Google’s User Messaging Platform (UMP) asks for the user’s choices before personalised advertising is requested. You can revisit available choices from About → Advertising choices inside the app. If personalised advertising is declined, ads may still be shown where permitted but should be less personalised.
During development and testing, the app may use Google’s official test ad units. Production releases may use MKDEV’s AdMob ad units.
4. Third-Party Services
- Google AdMob: provides advertising and may process advertising and device information under Google’s policies.
- Google User Messaging Platform: presents privacy and advertising-consent choices where required.
- Google Play Billing: processes the optional one-time Remove Ads purchase. MKDEV receives purchase status, not your payment-card number.
Google’s terms and privacy policy apply to information handled by Google. You can also use Google’s privacy controls for advertising data.
5. Children's Privacy
MK Board Games is designed for a general audience and may be used by all ages. The app has no user accounts and does not knowingly request personal information directly from children. Parents or guardians should review advertising choices where local law requires their consent. Advertising treatment for children is subject to Google Play and AdMob requirements.
6. Data Retention & Deletion
All locally stored data can be deleted at any time by:
- Resetting stats from within the app (Settings → Reset Stats)
- Clearing app data: device Settings → Apps → MK Board Games → Storage → Clear Data
- Uninstalling the app
7. Security
Local game data is protected by your device’s built-in security, including its screen lock and device encryption. Advertising data is handled and retained by Google under Google’s policies and controls.
8. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy when app features, advertising partners, or legal requirements change. Updates will be posted at this URL and the effective date will be updated for material changes.
9. Your Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or object to certain processing. Contact MKDEV for questions about information handled by MKDEV. For advertising information handled by Google, use Google’s privacy controls and support channels.
