Privacy Policy: Fair Square
In short: Fair Square is a single-player puzzle game. You don't need an account, and the game never asks for your name, email, contacts, photos, files or precise location. Your progress is stored on your phone, and, only if you choose to sign in with Google Play Games, also in your Google Play Games account. The game shows ads from Google AdMob, which uses your device's advertising ID as described below.
Information stored on your device
- Game progress: best score, statistics, settings, themes, Daily Puzzle stars and streak, and any game in progress.
- It is not sent to us. We have no servers and no way to see it.
- If you have turned on Android's device backup, Android may include this small save file in your own Google backup, so your progress comes back when you reinstall or move to a new phone. This is handled by Google under your Google account settings; we never receive it.
- Uninstalling the app deletes it from the phone (Android may offer to keep it).
Cloud save (Google Play Games, optional)
You can sign in with Google Play Games (in the game: Settings → Cloud save) to keep your progress safe and continue on another phone. This is optional: the game works the same without it.
- If you sign in, the game stores a copy of your game progress (the same information listed above) as a saved game in your Google Play Games account. It is stored by Google, not by us, and only this game can read it.
- Google Play Games uses your Play Games profile (gamer name and avatar) and collects some usage and diagnostic data for its own service. We do not receive your email address.
- You can delete your saved game data and your Play Games profile at any time in the Google Play Games app or in your Google Account (Data & privacy). See Google's Privacy Policy.
Advertising (Google AdMob)
The app uses Google AdMob to show ads. Google may collect and use:
- your device's advertising ID
- approximate location derived from your IP address
- device information (model, operating system version)
- ad interaction data (for example, which ads were shown or tapped)
Google uses this to show, limit and measure ads and to prevent fraud. If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, you are asked for your consent before personalised ads are shown, and you can change your choice at any time in the game under Settings → Privacy options.
You can reset or delete your advertising ID in your phone's settings (Settings → Google → Ads, or Settings → Privacy → Ads).
More about how Google uses data: How Google uses information from apps that use its services and the Google Privacy Policy.
Analytics
The game does not currently send analytics to us or to any analytics service. If this changes, this page will be updated first.
Children
Fair Square is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from them.
Your choices
- Change your ad consent (EEA, UK, Switzerland): in the game, Settings → Privacy options.
- Limit ad personalisation or delete your advertising ID: phone settings.
- Remove everything from your phone: uninstall the app.
- Stop cloud save or delete the cloud copy: sign out of Google Play Games, or delete your Play Games data in the Play Games app or your Google Account.
Changes
If the way the app uses information changes, this page will be updated and the date above changed.
