Privacy Policy
Effective September 13, 2026 · Updated September 14, 2026
This policy explains what information the Reversi app for iPhone, iPad and Android (the "App") collects, how it is used, and the choices you have. The App is made by Lloyd McCluskey ("we", "us"). If you have questions, email support@gitidaho.com.
1. Information we collect
Playing offline
Games against the computer and two-player games on one device run entirely on your device. We don't receive any information about them. You don't need an account to play them.
When you sign in to play online
| Information | Where it comes from | Why we use it |
|---|---|---|
| An account identifier from Apple or Google | Sign in with Apple or Google | To sign you in and keep your account yours |
| Email address, if the provider shares it (Apple may give a private relay address) | Sign in with Apple or Google | To identify your account if you contact support. We don't send marketing email. |
| A Sign in with Apple token | Apple, when you sign in with Apple | Only to revoke the App's access to your Apple ID when you delete your account |
| Display name, profile picture choice and disc design | You choose them | Shown to opponents during games and on the leaderboard |
| Country | Your device's region setting (not GPS or precise location) | Shown next to your name during games |
| Games: moves, results, rating, wins, losses and draws | Your online games | To run matches, calculate ratings and show the leaderboard |
| Purchase records (Remove Ads) | Apple or Google Play, when you buy or restore | To verify the purchase and give you what you paid for |
| Ad records: when you last saw an ad between games, and designs unlocked by watching a video | The App and Google AdMob | To space ads out fairly and unlock rewards |
Technical information
Like most online services, our server receives your IP address and basic request details (such as time and app version) when the App connects. These are kept in server logs for up to 14 days to keep the service running and secure, then deleted.
Advertising
The App shows ads from Google AdMob unless you have bought Remove Ads. AdMob may collect information from your device, such as its advertising identifier, IP address, device and app information, and how you interact with ads. Google uses it to show ads, measure them and prevent fraud. On iPhone and iPad, the App asks your permission before any tracking using Apple's App Tracking Transparency prompt, and the advertising identifier (IDFA) is only used if you allow it. On Android, AdMob uses your device's advertising ID, which you can reset or delete in your device's settings. If you're in the European Economic Area, the UK or Switzerland, you're also asked for consent through Google's consent message. If you opt out, you'll still see ads, but they won't be personalised using your advertising identifier.
Learn how Google uses information from apps that use its services at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.
2. What other players can see
Your display name, profile picture, disc design and country are shown to your opponent during online games. Your display name and rating appear on the leaderboard once you've played 5 rated games. Your email address and sign-in details are never shown to other players.
3. Who we share information with
We don't sell your personal information. We share it only with:
- Apple: for Sign in with Apple and to verify App Store purchases.
- Google: for Sign in with Google, to verify Google Play purchases, and Google AdMob for ads as described above.
- Our hosting provider (IONOS): runs the server that stores account and game data on our behalf.
- When required by law: or to protect the rights, safety or security of our players or the App.
4. How long we keep information
- Account information: kept while your account exists.
- When you delete your account: your sign-in identifiers, email, Apple token, display name, picture, disc design and country are erased right away, and your Apple sign-in access is revoked. Your past games are kept as anonymous records ("Deleted player") so opponents' histories and ratings stay correct, and they can no longer be linked to you.
- Server logs: up to 14 days.
- Backups: backup copies of the database are deleted within 90 days.
5. Your choices and rights
- Delete your account: in the App, go to Edit profile → Delete account. If you can't access the App, follow the steps on Delete your account.
- Change what others see: edit your name, picture and disc design at any time.
- Ad tracking: on iPhone and iPad, turn tracking off in Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking. On Android, reset or delete your advertising ID in your device's privacy or Google settings.
- Access, correction or a copy of your data: email support@gitidaho.com. Depending on where you live (for example the EU, the UK or California), you may have rights to access, correct, delete or port your information, to object to or restrict processing, and to complain to your local data protection authority. We will respond within the time the law requires. We won't treat you differently for using these rights.
Where the law requires a legal basis, we process information to provide the service you asked for (your account, games and purchases), for our legitimate interests (security, preventing cheating and abuse), and with your consent (personalised ads).
6. Children
Online play is not directed at children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child under 13 has created an account, email us and we'll delete it.
7. Security and where data is stored
Information is sent to our server over encrypted connections (HTTPS) and stored on servers in the United States. We limit access to it and take reasonable steps to protect it, but no online service can be completely secure.
8. Changes to this policy
If we change this policy, we'll update the date at the top of this page. If a change is significant, we'll also take reasonable steps to tell you, such as a notice in the App.
