Privacy Policy
The operator of "Board Games" (Go, Othello, Shogi; "the App") handles information as follows.
1. Information we collect
The App has no registration or login. The operator does not collect names, e-mail addresses, phone numbers, or any information that identifies you.
2. What is stored on your device
- Game progress (move records), your win/loss record, and your last settings, including language.
- A copy of the App itself (cache) so it can open offline.
These are stored only in your browser and are never sent to the operator's server. Clearing the site data in your browser deletes them. The computer opponent runs entirely on your device; your games are not sent anywhere.
3. Hosting access logs
The App is served by Google Firebase Hosting. Google may process access logs (IP address, browser type, time, etc.). The operator does not use them to identify individuals.
3-2. Visit counts
To understand usage, the App records, per day, the number of times it was opened and the number of games started, as plain counts that identify no one. Only the date and an "add 1" instruction are sent; no IP address is stored by the operator, and no cookies, device storage or device identifiers are used. (Logs that Google processes as the hosting provider are described in section 3.) Nothing is counted when your browser's "Do Not Track" setting is on.
4. Advertising
No ads are shown at present. In the future the App may show ads (e.g., Google AdSense) to cover running costs. If so:
- Advertising providers such as Google may use cookies or device identifiers to serve ads, limit frequency, prevent fraud, and measure performance.
- Because children also play, we treat users as being of unknown age and do not serve personalized ads.
- Users in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland will see Google's consent message.
- Advertising providers' handling of data follows their own policies. See How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services. You can manage ad personalization at Ads Settings, or refuse cookies in your browser settings (ads may still appear).
5. Children
Children under 13 should use the App with a parent or guardian. The App does not collect personal information from children.
6. Third parties
Because the operator collects no personal information, none is provided to third parties, except where required by law.
7. Changes
This policy may change. Changes will be announced on this page with the date.
8. Operator and contact
The operator's name and address are not published here. They will be disclosed without delay upon a request based on law. A contact point is being prepared.
