Farkle Privacy Policy

Last updated: December 29, 2024

Introduction

Farkle ("we", "our", or "the app") is a dice game application developed by Code Black Studios. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use our app.

Information We Collect

We collect minimal information necessary to provide the game experience:

• Player Names: When you play multiplayer games, you provide a display name. This is only used to identify players during gameplay.
• Game Data: Game scores, room codes, and game state are temporarily stored to enable multiplayer functionality.
• Local Storage: Your preferences (theme, language, dice style) and local game statistics are stored on your device only.

How We Use Your Information

Your information is used solely to:

• Enable multiplayer gameplay between devices
• Display player names during games
• Save your preferences locally on your device
• Track your personal game statistics locally

Data Storage and Third-Party Services

We use Firebase (provided by Google) for multiplayer game functionality:

• Game room data is stored temporarily in Firebase Realtime Database
• This data is automatically deleted when games end or rooms expire
• Firebase's privacy policy can be found at: firebase.google.com/support/privacy

Data Retention

• Multiplayer game data: Temporarily stored during active games and deleted afterwards
• Local preferences and stats: Stored on your device until you clear app data or uninstall

Data Sharing

We do not sell, trade, or share your personal information with third parties. Player names are only visible to other players in the same game room.

Children's Privacy

Our app does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. The app is suitable for all ages and does not require account creation or personal details beyond a display name for multiplayer games.

Your Rights

You can:

• Clear your local game statistics and preferences at any time through the app
• Leave multiplayer games at any time, which removes your data from that game room
• Uninstall the app to remove all locally stored data

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify users of any material changes by updating the "Last updated" date at the top of this policy.
