Five Boards

Privacy policy

Five Boards is designed for offline play without an account. This policy describes the version 1.0 launch configuration.

Effective date: September 10, 2026

Information stored on your device

Five Boards stores game saves, progress, records, settings, local player names, and a cached remove-ads entitlement on your device. This information supports gameplay and is not uploaded as game or profile data.

Accounts and core play

The app does not require or provide an account. All five games, computer opponents, lessons, and same-device pass-and-play work offline.

Diagnostics

Crash reporting is off by default and can be controlled from the Privacy & analytics screen. If you enable it, technical crash information may be sent to Firebase Crashlytics to diagnose stability problems. Reports are configured not to include local player names, board positions, or move history.

Analytics

Anonymous analytics is off by default and is not collected in the version 1.0 launch configuration. If analytics is offered in a later version, the app and this policy will explain the change before collection begins.

Advertising

Five Boards includes advertising. Ad requests are permitted only when the release configuration, remote safety switch, regional treatment, and applicable consent requirements allow them. Ad requests are configured as non-personalized. The integrated advertising SDK may process identifiers and other data described in the store privacy label for advertising, measurement, diagnostics, and fraud prevention.

Purchases

Apple or Google processes store purchases and restoration using your store account. Five Boards does not receive or store your payment-card details. A local entitlement may be stored so an already verified ad-removal purchase continues to work offline.

Permissions and sensitive information

Five Boards does not request precise location, contacts, photos, camera, microphone recording, health information, or unrestricted device storage. It does not include chat, public profiles, or user-generated content.

Retention and deletion

Local gameplay information remains until you reset records, clear the app's data, or uninstall the app. Turning off crash reporting stops future collection and deletes unsent crash reports where supported. Store purchase records are managed under Apple or Google policies.

Children

The app does not ask for a birth date or knowingly create child profiles. Advertising remains off when required consent, audience, or regional treatment is unresolved.

Changes

Material changes to data collection will be reflected here and in the app and store disclosures before the changed practice is enabled.
