Privacy Policy — Backgammon: Fair Dice & Nardy

Last updated: 2026-10-02

The game itself needs no account and sends your games nowhere. The only third party in the app is advertising (Google AdMob), described below.

What stays on your device

Your games, history, statistics and settings are stored on your iPhone (the current game in the Keychain, the rest in the app's own storage). We have no servers and never receive them.

iCloud (optional)

If you turn on “Save progress to iCloud”, your history, statistics, dice log and settings are copied to your own private iCloud storage so they appear on your other devices. This copy is handled by Apple under your Apple ID; we cannot see it. You can turn it off in Settings at any time.

Advertising

The free version shows ads between games and optional videos that give extra hints. Ads are served by Google AdMob, which may collect device identifiers, approximate location (from the IP address), and information about ad views and clicks, to show and measure ads and to prevent fraud.

• Before any personalized ads, iOS asks whether the app may track you (App Tracking Transparency). If you decline, Google shows only non-personalized ads.
• In the EEA, the UK and Switzerland you are asked for consent first (Google's consent form).
• Google's policy: How Google uses information from apps that use its services.

Ads never affect the dice or the computer. Pro removes ads completely.

How long data is kept and how to delete it

• On your device: kept until you delete it. Deleting the app deletes your history, statistics and settings. The unfinished game is kept in the Keychain, which iOS does not clear with the app; the app deletes it on the first launch after a new install.
• In your iCloud: kept until you turn off “Save progress to iCloud” and delete the app's data in iPhone Settings → your name → iCloud → Manage Storage.
• By Google (ads): kept under Google's own retention rules, described in its privacy policy.

Your choices

• Allow or deny tracking at any time: iPhone Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking.
• In the EEA, the UK and Switzerland you can change or withdraw your consent to ads in the app: Settings → Ad privacy choices.
• Turn the iCloud copy on or off in the app's Settings.
• Buy Pro to stop ads completely.

Purchases

Pro and optional boards are sold through the App Store. Payment is handled by Apple; we do not receive your payment details or personal information.

Contacting support

If you tap Contact Support in Settings, the app prepares an email for you to send from your own mail app. Before you send it, you see everything it contains: the app version, device model, iOS version, language and region, whether Pro is active, free storage space, and — unless you turn it off — a short log of technical errors (no game content or personal data). You can also attach screenshots you choose. Nothing is sent unless you send the email yourself; we use it only to answer you.

Children

The app is not directed at children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect their data.

Changes and contact

If this policy changes, the new version will be published on this page with a new date. Questions: support@kohone.net
