Privacy Policy for "This or That"

Overview

This Privacy Policy describes how "This or That" (the "App") collects, uses, and protects your information when you use our mobile application. We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about our data practices.

Information We Collect

Personal Information

We do not collect, store, or transmit any personal information. The App does not require user accounts, email addresses, names, or any other personally identifiable information.

Game Data

• Player Names: Names entered for gameplay are stored locally on your device only and are never transmitted to our servers
• Game Progress: All game progress, scores, and preferences are stored locally on your device
• No App Analytics by Us: We do not collect analytics, usage statistics, or behavioral data ourselves; however, third-party advertising networks may collect ad-related identifiers as described below in the Advertising section

Device Information

The App does not access or collect device-specific information such as device IDs, location data, contacts, photos, or other device content.

Third-Party Services

Unsplash Images

This App displays images sourced from Unsplash (https://unsplash.com), a platform providing freely usable images.

How it works:

• Images are fetched directly from Unsplash's servers when you play the game
• We do not store images on our servers or your device permanently
• Each image request includes only the necessary parameters to display the image
• No personal information is sent to Unsplash

Unsplash's Privacy Policy: Images are subject to Unsplash's own privacy policy and terms of service, available at https://unsplash.com/privacy

Advertising

The App may display advertisements provided by third-party advertising networks. Depending on your choices and platform permissions (for example, Apple's App Tracking Transparency), advertising behavior is as follows:

• If you grant tracking permission (ATT) on iOS: the App may access your device's advertising identifier (IDFA) to provide personalized ads and measure ad performance.
• If you deny tracking permission: the App will not access the Advertising Identifier and will serve non-personalized ads instead; advertising networks may still use contextual or aggregated signals that do not identify you personally.
• Google AdMob: https://policies.google.com/privacy
• You can opt out of personalized advertising in your device settings.

On iOS, the app includes a prompt to request permission to track (ATT). If you allow tracking, the advertising identifier may be used to provide personalized ads. If you decline, ads will be less personalized.

Google AdMob and Third-Party Advertising: We use Google Mobile Ads (AdMob) to display advertisements. AdMob and other third-party advertising partners may collect certain information from your device, such as advertising identifiers (for example, the IDFA on iOS or the Android Advertising ID), app usage and ad interaction data (for example, which ads you view or click), and diagnostic or device information (for example, device model and OS version). This information is used to provide and improve advertising (including personalized ads), measure ad performance, and prevent fraud. For more information about how Google collects and uses data for advertising, see Google’s privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy and AdMob help: https://support.google.com/admob

In-App Purchases

The App offers an optional in-app purchase to remove advertisements:

• Purchase Processing: All purchases are processed through Apple's App Store
• Payment Information: We do not collect or store any payment information - all transactions are handled securely by Apple
• Purchase Restoration: Purchases can be restored on your devices using Apple's built-in restoration mechanism
• No Subscription: The ad-free purchase is a one-time, non-consumable purchase
• Refunds: Refund requests are handled by Apple according to their refund policy

Apple's privacy policy applies to all purchase transactions: https://www.apple.com/legal/privacy/
