Who we are & what this covers
SLOApps develops games, including Backgammon, and operates sloapps.com. This policy describes information handled by the website, Backgammon, and its connected services. Contact info@sloapps.com with questions or requests concerning your information.
The information handled depends on the app version, platform, features you use, and whether you sign in.
Information we handle
Game data on your device
Backgammon stores preferences, game state and history, statistics, achievements, and diagnostic logs on your device. Signing in also stores account and session information needed to use connected features.
Accounts & cloud backup
If you create an account, we handle your username, email address, authentication information, and an account identifier. Account services use Amazon Web Services (AWS), including Amazon Cognito for authentication. Cloud backup stores supported settings, game records, statistics, achievements, and rankings.
Standings & other players
Your username, rating, game totals, and related standings information can appear on public leaderboards. Nearby Play shares player and session information with the other device. Completed head-to-head matches can submit results and replay information to the server to validate results and maintain head-to-head records.
Crash reports & diagnostics
The app records diagnostic information and can automatically submit a pending crash report on a subsequent launch. Reports can include an installation identifier, session identifier, app version, platform, device model, operating system version, crash details, and game or diagnostic logs. If signed in, a report can also include your username, email address, and a hashed account identifier.
Messages you send us
If you email us, we receive your email address, message, and any attachments or other details you choose to provide.
How information is used
We use information to run the game and connected features, authenticate accounts, back up and restore supported data, maintain standings and match results, investigate crashes, protect the service, and respond to support or privacy requests.
AWS hosts account, backup, diagnostics, and related server services. Our current app backend is configured in the United States. Providers may process information in other locations under their own service terms and privacy practices.
Advertising & your choices
Backgammon supports SLOApps promotional ads and, in supported versions and platforms, Google AdMob. The ads and providers enabled can vary by app version, platform, and configuration.
When enabled, Google’s advertising SDK may process information such as device and advertising identifiers, IP address, approximate location derived from IP address, interactions with ads, and diagnostic information to deliver and measure advertising, prevent fraud, and support its services. The precise handling depends on the SDK, configuration, and your consent choices. See Google’s Privacy Policy and how Google uses information from apps that use its services.
Where required, the app requests advertising consent. Where available, use Settings → Account → Ad privacy to review or change choices. You can also use your device’s advertising and tracking settings. Opening an advertiser’s link takes you to a service governed by its own privacy policy.
This website
Cloudflare hosts this website and processes request information, such as IP address and browser request details, to deliver and secure it. See Cloudflare’s Privacy Policy.
The site does not add advertising scripts, analytics trackers, tracking cookies, or browser storage. Its board theme preview and email helpers work in the current page. Email-helper text is not saved or submitted to a web service; selecting an email link opens your email app, and you choose whether to send the message.
Retention & deletion
Device data remains subject to the app and operating system’s storage and backup behavior. Active account and cloud data are retained to provide connected features.
The current in-app account deletion process removes the authentication account and public leaderboard profile, marks cloud records as deleted, and masks the deleted player in head-to-head summaries. It does not physically erase all cloud records. Retained records can include backed-up game data, account identifiers, the deleted username and email address, and match records. An automatic purge period for those retained account records has not yet been established.
Submitted diagnostic report files are configured to expire from their primary storage after 30 days. Other service logs have separate retention settings; account deletion does not automatically erase diagnostic reports, service logs, or backups. Pending crash manifests on the device are pruned after 90 days.
For an account or personal-data erasure request, including retained records, use the email option on our account and data deletion page. We may need to verify account ownership. That page also explains local device data and how account removal affects other players’ match history.
Security
Connected app services use HTTPS, authenticated access for private account features, and access controls on cloud storage. The app uses platform secure storage for authentication tokens. No internet service or device can guarantee absolute security. Please do not send passwords or verification codes in email.
Privacy requests & children
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict the use of personal information, withdraw consent, or object to certain processing. Email info@sloapps.com to make a request or ask about the information associated with your account. We may ask for information needed to verify your request.
If you believe a child has provided personal information to SLOApps without appropriate permission, contact us so we can investigate and address it.
Updates & contact
We may update this policy when our features, providers, or practices change. The date below identifies the latest revision. For privacy questions or requests, email info@sloapps.com.
