Privacy Policy
Last updated: September 23, 2026
1. Introduction
This Privacy Policy describes how Gambitile ("we", "our", or "us") handles information in the mobile game Gambitile — Chess Morph Puzzle (the "App"), including data processed by advertising services. This notice explains our practices; using the App does not by itself constitute consent to personalized advertising.
2. Game Features and Information
The game does not request access to:
- Your name, email address, phone number or any account details
- Your precise GPS location
- Contacts, photos, microphone or camera data
The App does not ask you to sign in and has no separate gameplay analytics SDK. This does not mean the advertising SDK collects no data: advertising-related collection is described below. If you email us for support, we receive your email address and the information you choose to include, and use it to handle your request.
3. Data Stored on Your Device
Gambitile saves your progress — levels completed, star ranks earned and settings — locally on your device only. We do not operate a server that stores your game progress. Removing the App and its data removes its local save; device or operating-system backups may retain a copy under your backup settings.
4. Advertising
Gambitile shows advertisements provided by Google AdMob:
- Interstitial ads shown occasionally between solved levels.
- Rewarded video ads are completely optional — watch one to earn a hint. Watching is never required to complete any level.
Ads may be personalized, non-personalized or limited, depending on your choices, region, device settings and the advertising service's eligibility rules. Where consent is required, personalization is subject to that consent. Declining consent does not necessarily remove all advertising; eligible non-personalized or limited ads may still be shown, or an ad may be unavailable.
Google and its advertising partners may process IP addresses (including an approximate location inferred from them), device and app identifiers where permitted, device information, ad views and interactions, and diagnostic or performance data. These data support ad delivery, personalization where permitted, measurement, fraud prevention and service improvement. Non-personalized advertising can still involve data processing and device storage; it does not mean no data is collected.
We use Google's User Messaging Platform to present privacy choices where required, including in the European Economic Area, United Kingdom and Switzerland. The message identifies the applicable purposes and advertising partners and lets you accept, decline or manage consent, and object to processing based on legitimate interest where applicable. Consent preferences are stored on your device so the advertising services can respect them. The game does not request precise-location permission or supply GPS coordinates to the advertising SDK.
Where available, open Settings → Privacy choices in the game to review or withdraw consent. You can also manage advertising controls offered by your operating system. Withdrawing consent changes future processing based on that consent; it does not undo processing that already occurred. For information about Google's handling of data, retention and privacy controls, see Google's Privacy Policy. Other partners' information is available through the partner list in the consent message.
5. iOS Tracking Permission
The current iOS release does not request Apple's App Tracking Transparency (ATT) permission. On iOS versions requiring ATT, access to the IDFA advertising identifier and tracking as defined by Apple require that separate authorization. Accepting the advertising consent message is not ATT authorization and does not override Apple's restrictions. Advertising may still use information permitted by the platform and your privacy choices without IDFA access.
6. Third-Party Services
The App integrates Google AdMob and Google's consent SDK. AdMob can involve additional advertising partners; the consent message provides the applicable partner list. We do not integrate a separate gameplay analytics or social-network SDK. If you download Gambitile from the Apple App Store or Google Play, the store itself may collect data under its own privacy policy, over which we have no control.
7. Children's Privacy
We do not ask children to create accounts or submit personal information through the game. Advertising data processing is described above; this policy does not treat a child's use of the game as valid consent to personalized advertising. If you are a parent or guardian with a concern about a child's data, contact us using the address below.
8. Offline Play
The puzzles themselves play offline. An internet connection is only needed to load advertisements; the game logic, progress and saved data work without it.
9. Your Rights
Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have rights to access, correct or delete personal data, restrict or object to processing, receive a copy of data, withdraw consent, or complain to a data protection authority. You can:
- Review privacy choices in the game where the control is available
- Manage advertising identifiers and permissions through your device's available controls
- Remove local game data and manage any device backups separately
- Contact us about information we hold, such as support correspondence
- Use Google or the relevant advertising partner's privacy channels for data they process; uninstalling the game does not itself erase that data
10. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date.
