Privacy Policy — Game Night
What's stored, and where
Everything below is stored only on your device, using standard iOS/Android local storage. None of it is transmitted to us or anyone else.
- Game history — the games you play, scores, player names, and dates.
- Player roster and colors — names and colors you've assigned to players, so they carry over between games.
- Photos — if you add a photo to a game (from your camera or photo library), it's copied into the app's own local storage on your device.
- Reminder settings — if you set a "Game Night" reminder notification, the time you chose is stored locally so the app can schedule it.
Camera and photo library access
- Camera: used to scan playing cards (to count tricks/points) and to take a photo to attach to a finished game. Card scanning is done entirely on-device using Google's ML Kit text recognition — the camera image is processed on your phone and is never uploaded anywhere.
- Photo library: used only when you choose to pick an existing photo (for a card scan or a game photo) or scan a printed score card you've already photographed. The app reads the photo you select; it does not browse or access the rest of your library.
Notifications
If you enable the optional game-night reminder, it's a local notification scheduled on your device. The app does not use push notifications and has no notification server.
Sharing between devices
Game Night lets you share game history with someone else — for example, to send a completed game's results over Messages. When you do this, the app generates a link or a block of text on your device containing that game's data, and hands it off to whatever share sheet or app you choose (e.g., Messages, Mail). That data only goes where you explicitly send it. Game Night has no server of its own and never transmits this data on your behalf.
Advertising
Game Night shows ads through Google AdMob to help support the app. On iOS, Game Night does not request App Tracking Transparency permission, so ads are shown without access to your device's advertising identifier (IDFA) and are not personalized based on your activity in other apps or websites. AdMob may still use a general device or ad identifier for basic ad delivery, frequency capping, and fraud prevention — see Google's Privacy Policy and How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services for details on how Google itself handles that.
Third parties
Google AdMob (see Advertising above) is the only third-party service Game Night uses. The app does not use analytics or crash-reporting services, and does not sell any data.
Accounts
There is no sign-up, login, or account of any kind. The app works fully offline.
Children's privacy
Game Night does not knowingly collect any personal information from anyone, including children, because it doesn't collect personal information from anyone at all — everything stays on-device.
Deleting your data
Uninstalling the app removes all of its local data, including game history and saved photos. You can also delete individual games or photos from within the app.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes, the "Last updated" date above will change too.
