Privacy Policy

In short

Peaceful Solitaire is free and shows one full-screen ad after you finish a game. The game itself has no accounts and collects no personal information. The ads are provided by Google AdMob, which collects some data in order to show and measure them (see Advertising below).

Information we collect

We do not collect any personal information ourselves, and we never receive the information that the ad provider collects. The game has no accounts, no analytics and no crash reporting of its own.

What is saved on your device

So you can pick up where you left off, the game keeps the following in its own private storage on your device:

• Your settings: theme, card back, sound and haptics choices, draw mode and layout.
• Your current game and its undo history.
• Your play statistics: games played and won, win streaks, best time and fewest moves.
• Your achievements and daily-ritual history.
• A shuffled deal prepared for your next game.

This information stays on your device and is not available to other apps.

Advertising

After you finish a game, the app shows a full-screen ad from Google AdMob. To show, measure and protect against fraud in ads, the Google Mobile Ads SDK built into the app may collect and use:

• your device's advertising ID,
• your IP address, from which an approximate location can be derived,
• device and app information, such as device model, operating system version, and the app's name and version,
• diagnostics and crash information about the ads SDK, and
• how you interact with ads.

Depending on your region and choices, ads may be personalised. This data is collected and used by Google under Google's own policies: how Google uses data from apps that use its services is explained at https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites and Google's privacy policy is at https://policies.google.com/privacy

Your choices

In the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom, the game asks for your consent before showing ads that use your data. You can change your choice at any time in Settings under Ad privacy choices.

On any Android device you can reset your advertising ID or opt out of ad personalisation in Android Settings, under Privacy and then Ads (the exact path varies by device). You can also manage the information Google holds about your ads at https://myadcenter.google.com

Permissions

The Android app itself asks for vibration, used to give a small tap when a card lands, and internet access, used to load ads and consent messages. The Google Mobile Ads library built into the app also declares the advertising ID permission and a few standard technical permissions it needs to work, such as reading basic network and phone state. The app does not request location, camera, microphone, contacts, photos, files or any other personal data.

Third parties

The only third party in the app is Google, through AdMob. The game contains no other advertising, analytics or tracking tools, and loads no fonts, images or scripts from the internet.

Children

The game is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. It contains no in-app purchases, chat or social features. If you believe a child has provided personal information, please contact us and we will help.

Deleting your data

Everything the game itself saves stays on your device. To erase it, open Android Settings, choose Apps, then Peaceful Solitaire, then Storage, and tap Clear data. Uninstalling the app removes it as well. Information held by Google for advertising is managed through the choices described above.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, the new version will be published at the same address with a new date at the top.
