Privacy policy

Privacy at a glance

• No account or sign-in.
• The app does not send personal information or app activity to BB_Games.
• No advertising, analytics, tracking, crash-reporting, or in-app purchase SDKs.
• Gameplay on Android, iPhone, and iPad—and Game Review on Android—runs on your device without sending game data to a developer-operated server.
• No access to your location, camera, microphone, contacts, photos, or shared files is requested.

Information kept on your device

Drawless Chess stores information in the app’s private storage so it can run games, restore progress, show local statistics, and remember preferences. This may include:

• Saved games, positions, moves, results, clocks, rules, player side, opponent level, hints, undos, and pauses.
• A random device-local player identifier and completed-game history used for local records and scores.
• Your selected theme and whether you dismissed the introductory rules guide.

The local identifier is not an account, is not linked to an online identity, and is not sent to BB_Games or an in-app third party.

Device and cloud backups

Android system backup may include locally stored game and preference data, depending on your device, Google account, and backup settings. On iPhone and iPad, the same types of local data may be included in a device or iCloud backup according to your Apple settings.

Your operating system or backup provider controls those backups. BB_Games does not receive, access, or control them.

Network access and external services

The apps do not send gameplay or preference data to BB_Games over the internet. The Android app also keeps Game Review data on the device. Fixed source and privacy links open in an external browser or app only when you choose them.

If you install or purchase through Google Play or Apple’s App Store, the store provider processes download, transaction, device, and related platform information under its own terms. BB_Games does not receive your payment-card or bank details. The stores may provide BB_Games with aggregate installation information or platform-generated performance and crash reports; those reports come from the store platform, not from an analytics or crash-reporting SDK in Drawless Chess.

Sharing and sale

Drawless Chess does not transmit personal information or app activity to BB_Games, so we do not sell it or share it with third parties. The app has no advertising network, profiling, cross-app tracking, or developer-operated server.

Retention and deletion

An in-progress saved game remains until it is completed, forfeited, or app data is cleared. Completed-game history, local statistics, and preferences remain until app data is cleared or the app is uninstalled.

• Android: Use Settings → Apps → Drawless Chess → Storage → Clear storage/data, or uninstall the app.
• iPhone or iPad: Delete the app from the Home Screen or use Settings → General → iPhone Storage or iPad Storage → Drawless Chess → Delete App. Offloading the app keeps its documents and data.

Separate device or cloud backups may remain under your Android, Google, Apple, or iCloud backup settings. Because there is no Drawless account or developer-operated gameplay store, BB_Games has no server-side account or gameplay record to locate or delete.

Children and security

Drawless Chess is not specifically directed to children under 13 and does not knowingly collect personal information from children or adults.

Local data is protected by the app sandbox and security settings on your device. No storage method can be guaranteed completely secure, so keep your device, operating system, and screen lock up to date.

Changes and contact

If information handling changes, this policy and its updated date will change before or when the relevant app update is released.
