This Privacy Policy explains how the mobile application No Cheating! ("the App", "we", "us") handles information. The App is a score keeper for card and board games, developed by Arnaud Malhaire.

The App is designed to work offline and without an account. The games, players, scores, and settings you create are stored only on your device. We do not run any server, we do not have user accounts, and we never sell your data.
The only data leaving your device comes from two third-party Google services we use: Google AdMob (to show ads) and Google Play Billing (to process the optional one-time Pro purchase).
The App saves the following locally on your device only (using on-device storage):
Player names, colours, and chosen avatars you add.
Games/templates you create and your game history (scores, rounds, results).
App preferences (theme, language, sound/haptics, etc.).
This information is not transmitted to us or to any server. You can remove it at any time by deleting games/players in the App, clearing the App's storage in Android settings, or uninstalling the App. The optional Backup/Restore feature only creates a file or clipboard text when you choose to, and shares it to a destination you select — we never receive it.
The free version of the App displays a banner ad on the home screen and, occasionally, a full-screen ad after a game finishes. Ads are provided by Google AdMob. To serve ads, Google may collect and process information such as your device's advertising identifier, IP address, general device information, and app interaction data. This is used to serve and measure ads.
You can reset or limit ad personalization via your device's Settings → Google → Ads.
Google's handling of this data is governed by Google's Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy
AdMob information: https://support.google.com/admob/answer/6128543
If you buy Pro, the App stops requesting and showing ads entirely.
If you are located in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, the App asks on first launch whether you consent to personalised advertising, using Google's consent form (the Google User Messaging Platform). You may accept, refuse, or choose detailed options per purpose and per advertising partner.
Refusing does not restrict any feature of the App — you will simply see non-personalised ads instead, which are based on general context rather than on your advertising identifier.
You can change or withdraw your choice at any time from Settings → Privacy choices in the App.
The optional one-time Pro purchase is processed by Google Play. Google handles the payment; the App does not receive or store your payment details. The App only learns whether the purchase was completed, so it can unlock the Pro features and stop showing ads. Pro unlocks the turn timer, the full statistics history, and removes all ads.
The App is a general-audience score keeper and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information, please contact us and we will address it.
Because your game data stays on your device, its security depends on your device. Data sent to Google for ads/purchases is transmitted over encrypted (HTTPS) connections and retained according to Google's policies. We ourselves do not retain any personal data, because we do not collect it.
Ad personalisation (EEA/UK/Switzerland): change or withdraw your consent at any time from Settings → Privacy choices.
Limit ads tracking: use your device's ad settings to reset/limit your advertising ID.
Remove ads: buy the one-time Pro option in Settings.
Delete your data: clear the App's storage or uninstall the App.
We may update this policy as the App evolves. Material changes will be reflected by the "Last updated" date above and, where appropriate, within the App or store listing.
