About XO - Win Challenge

XO - Win Challenge is an Android tic tac toe game developed and published by HassApps.

Players take turns placing the X and O symbols on the board, and the first to complete a full line of their own symbol wins the round.

The game can be played by two players on the same device or against the game itself, on board sizes of 3×3, 4×4, 5×5, and 6×6.

The game plays at a single, strongest level. It is built so that it cannot be beaten, and the best possible result against it is a draw.

The application does not require an account, username, or password in order to play.

Information We Collect

HassApps does not collect, receive, or store personal information on its servers.

The application does not require users to provide:

• Name
• Username
• Email address
• Phone number
• Password
• Account information
• Location information
• Contact information
• Payment information

The application does not have an online user account system, backend server, or online database operated by HassApps for storing player information.

The application does include a third-party advertising service, which collects certain device information as described in the Advertising section below.

Gameplay and Internet Connection

The entire gameplay of XO - Win Challenge is processed locally on the user's device.

Moves, the decisions made by the game when a player plays against it, results, statistics, and preferences do not require communication with HassApps servers or any other online server.

An internet connection is used only to load advertisements and to verify the in-app purchase through Google Play.

The game can be played without an internet connection.

Local Data Storage

The application stores the following information locally on the device in order to provide its features:

• Interface language, appearance, board size, who starts, and player names
• Sound and vibration preferences
• Results and statistics of completed rounds
• The status of the advertising removal purchase

Player names are entered by the user as an optional label shown on the score bar, are stored only on the device, and are not sent anywhere.

This locally stored information is not transmitted to HassApps servers.

Results and statistics can be cleared at any time from within the application, under Settings and then Reset results.

All locally stored information is removed when the user clears the application data or uninstalls the application.

Device Permissions

The application requests no sensitive device permissions. It does not access the camera, microphone, location, contacts, files, or photos.

The only permission requested by the application itself is vibration, which is used for the short vibration on a move and can be turned off from within the application, under Settings.

The advertising service adds the standard permissions it needs to request advertisements, including internet access, network state, and the device advertising identifier.

Accounts and Registration

XO - Win Challenge does not require account registration and does not provide a HassApps player account for using the game.

Users are not required to provide a username, email address, phone number, or password to play.

Advertising

XO - Win Challenge displays advertisements provided by Google AdMob, a third-party advertising service operated by Google.

Advertising appears in three places: a banner at the bottom of the game screen, a larger rectangle at the bottom of the home screen, and a full-screen advertisement that may be shown between rounds.

Google, acting as an independent third party, may collect and process certain information in order to serve and measure advertisements, which may include:

• The device advertising identifier
• General device and operating system information
• IP address and approximate country
• Advertising interaction data

This information is collected and used by Google in accordance with its own policies, and not by HassApps. Further information is available in the Google Privacy Policy and in How Google uses data in advertising.

Users may reset the advertising identifier or opt out of personalised advertising from the device settings, under Google and then Ads.

Users may also remove advertising permanently through the in-app purchase described below, after which no advertisements are displayed in the application.

Advertising Consent

In regions where consent is required, such as the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom, the application shows a consent form provided by the Google User Messaging Platform before any advertisement is requested.

The user's choice is recorded by that service, and no advertisement is requested until the choice allows it.

Where this requirement applies, the user can change that choice at any time from within the application, under Settings and then Ad privacy options.

In-App Purchases

XO - Win Challenge offers a single optional one-time purchase that removes advertising from the application.

Payment is processed entirely by Google Play Billing.

HassApps does not receive, process, or store any payment card details or billing information.

The application receives only a confirmation that the purchase was completed, which is stored locally on the device in order to disable advertising, and is verified with Google Play each time the application is opened.

The purchase is linked to the Google account that made it, and can be restored on any device using the Restore purchases option inside the application.

Third-Party Services

XO - Win Challenge uses the following third-party services:

• Google AdMob — for displaying advertisements
• Google Play Billing — for processing the optional in-app purchase
• Google User Messaging Platform — for collecting advertising consent where it is required

The application does not use online user accounts, cloud storage, HassApps backend servers, online databases, or analytics services.

If additional third-party services are introduced in a future version, this Privacy Policy will be updated as appropriate.

Data Sharing

HassApps does not sell, rent, or share personal information collected through XO - Win Challenge, because HassApps does not collect personal information on its servers.

Device information used for advertising is collected directly by Google as the advertising service provider, as described in the Advertising section.

Player names, results, and statistics are not shared with the advertising service and remain locally on the user's device.

Data Security

Because XO - Win Challenge does not transmit personal information to HassApps servers, HassApps does not maintain an online database containing personal information collected from users of the application.

Information stored locally by the application is subject to the security and protection mechanisms of the user's Android device.

Users are encouraged to maintain appropriate security for their devices.

Children's Privacy

XO - Win Challenge is not specifically directed toward children and does not intentionally request personal information from children.

The application does not require users to create an account or provide personal information in order to play.

The application should be used in accordance with the age rating and availability information shown on Google Play.

User Choices and Control

Users remain in control of the information stored by the application and may at any time:

• Clear results and statistics from within the application, under Settings and then Reset results
• Reset the advertising identifier or opt out of personalised advertising from the device settings
• Change the advertising consent choice, where this requirement applies, from within the application
• Remove advertising permanently through the optional in-app purchase
• Clear the application data or uninstall the application to remove all locally stored information

This Privacy Policy may be updated when the application, its functionality, data practices, advertising, third-party services, or applicable legal requirements change.
