The App

Chess 3D: Fantasy Armies Fight on Google Play, package com.mani.chess3dcombat. On your home screen it is called Chess - 3D Combat.

"We" and "us" in this policy mean the controller above. The policy covers the App and this website. The website runs no scripts, sets no cookies and loads nothing from other sites; Firebase Hosting, which serves it, keeps ordinary server logs.

2Data collected and shared

The App has no account and sends nothing to us. The one part of it that collects data is Google's Mobile Ads SDK (AdMob), which runs the rewarded ads. Google describes that software as collecting the data types below and sharing them with Google, and we declare the same on the App's Google Play Data safety form.

Collected by the Google Mobile Ads SDK and shared with Google. The collection is part of having ads in the App, so there is no switch that turns it off. Once the App knows you own Remove Ads it stops starting the ad software, and the choices below limit how the data is used.

Google acts as an independent controller for this data. Its handling is described in Google's Privacy Policy and in how Google uses information from apps that use its services. From Google we receive only aggregated reports, such as how many ads were shown and what they earned; we cannot see who watched them.

Through the App, we do not collect, request or receive your name, email address, phone number, contacts, photos, files, precise location, microphone or camera data, and we have no way to see how you play.

3Ads and consent

The App shows an ad only when you tap a button that says one is coming: to play another game against the computer after the three included each day, or to refill your hints. The ads are rewarded videos from Google AdMob.

When the ad software starts. It starts when the App opens, unless you own Remove Ads, so it may contact Google from then on, before you watch any ad.

When you are asked. Where the law requires consent, for example in the EEA and the UK, Google's consent form is shown immediately before the first ad you choose to watch. Players who never watch an ad, and Remove Ads owners, are not asked unless they open Privacy options themselves. If you do not consent, Google serves non-personalised or limited ads according to your choice, chosen by context rather than by a profile. If the consent question cannot be settled, the App itself asks for non-personalised ads.

Your choices

• Change or withdraw consent at any time in the App: Settings → Privacy → Privacy options. Opening it contacts Google's consent service.
• Reset or delete your advertising ID in Android: Settings → Privacy → Ads (the wording varies by device). This applies to every app on the phone.
• Remove Ads, a one-time purchase. The App checks with Google Play at every start, and once it knows you own Remove Ads it no longer starts the ad software, from the next launch on. After a reinstall, or after clearing the App's storage, it may start once more on the first launch, before Google Play confirms the purchase.

4What stays on your phone

The App saves, in its own storage on your device: your game in progress, your settings (army, board theme, camera, sound, vibration, difficulty), your statistics and tutorial progress, your challenge progress, your Daily Puzzle streak, how many games and hints you have used today, and which items you own.

We never receive this data and cannot access it. If Android backup is turned on for your device, Android may include it in the backup kept in your Google account, which Google manages.

5Purchases

Royal Court comes with the App. The ten other armies and Remove Ads are optional one-time purchases, processed by Google Play Billing. We never see your card number, billing address or any other payment detail. The App learns from Google Play which items you own, and asks again each time it starts, so purchases come back after a reinstall. Payments, refunds and your purchase history are covered by Google's Privacy Policy and the Google Play terms.

6Help and feedback

If you email us, we receive your email address and your message. In versions of the App that have a Help & feedback section in Settings, an email you start from there is pre-filled with the app version, your device model, Android version and WebView version, and you can edit or delete any of it before you send. We use it only to answer you.

We may also offer support on Discord. Discord is run by Discord Inc. under its own privacy policy, which covers anything you post there.

7Children

The App is not directed at children. Its Google Play target audience is 13 and over, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 13. If you believe a child has sent us personal information, email us and we will delete it.

8Your rights

Under the GDPR you have the rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, objection and data portability, and the right to lodge a complaint with the Danish Data Protection Agency (Datatilsynet) or with the data protection authority where you live.

The only personal data we could hold ourselves is an email you sent us: write to us and we will answer within one month. For the advertising data, Google is the controller: use Google's tools linked above, reset or delete your advertising ID, or withdraw consent in the App. Step-by-step instructions are on the Delete your data page.

9Retention, security and transfers

We run no server for the App, so there is no database of players to keep or to breach. Data on your phone is protected by Android's own app security. We keep support emails only as long as needed to help you, and delete them when you ask. Google keeps advertising data under its own retention policies, and may process it outside your country, including in the United States, under the safeguards Google describes. Our mailbox is hosted by Google.

10Changes and contact

If the App changes in a way that affects this policy, we update this page and the date at the top.
