Thank you for using Pirc Defense, developed by Thyntechs. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use our chess game mobile application.
We do not collect personally identifiable information from users. However, to provide the best experience and functionalities in the app, we request the following permissions:
a. Device Permissions Used
VIBRATE – Used to provide tactile feedback during gameplay.
READ/WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE – May be used for saving/loading game progress or settings (primarily for legacy support on older Android versions).
WAKE_LOCK – Prevents the device from sleeping during an active game session.
POST_NOTIFICATIONS – Used to notify players about important updates like new puzzles or features.
b. Analytics and Crash Reporting
We do not integrate third-party analytics SDKs (e.g., Firebase or Google Analytics) at this time. No behavior tracking is conducted.
c. Advertising
This app uses Google AdMob to serve ads:
AdMob may collect anonymized data such as device identifiers and general location (e.g., country) for better ad targeting.
We do not pass any personal information to AdMob.

Any information collected through device permissions or advertising SDKs is used to:

Serve relevant advertisements
Provide notifications for new content or updates
This app is not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we discover such data has been collected, we will take immediate steps to delete it.
We take reasonable measures to:
Ensure that local data (e.g., settings or progress) is stored securely.
Avoid unnecessary network calls unless required by ads or updates.
The app may link to third-party services (e.g., Google Play Games for achievements, or AdMob for ads). These services operate under their own privacy policies.
Users may:
Disable vibration or notifications from their system settings.
Revoke permissions from Android settings at any time.
Opt out of personalized ads via Google settings.
We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. We recommend reviewing it for changes. Continued use of the app after updates indicates your acceptance.
