Privacy Policy

Effective: 23 August 2026 ／ Last updated: 23 August 2026

Tilereign ("we", "us") sets out below how information is handled in the mobile game application "Tilereign" (the "App") that we provide.

1. Our approach

The App has no server of its own. There is no sign-up and no sign-in, and we do not collect personal information such as your name, address, phone number or email address from you directly, nor store any such information on equipment we control. Playing the game needs no connection at all — it runs to the end in airplane mode.

The App does, however, embed third-party services (described below) for advertising and in-app purchases. Those services collect certain information from your device under their own privacy policies.

2. What is collected, and how

2-1. Information we collect directly

None. The App implements no mechanism that sends identifying information to a server of ours. Your board state, score, rank and level progress never leave your device.

2-2. Information collected by third-party services

The following services embedded in the App collect information from your device.

The App contains no analytics tooling, no crash reporting, no social login and no push notifications.

3. Information stored on your device

The App stores the following only on your device. None of it is transmitted anywhere.

• Per realm (DUSK / ROYAL / FOREST / EMBER / ECLIPSE): best score, highest rank reached, levels cleared, number of runs played
• Per realm: the saved board (tiles on each square, score, move count, that level's target, undos remaining)
• The realm currently selected, and the display language currently selected
• The expiry of "Remove ads for 1 week"
• Realm unlock (purchase) state and its expiry
• The unused count of "Continue with your score"
• A device-specific key used to detect tampering with the above, and the timestamps observed for expiry checks

This data is stored in the Keychain on iOS and in encrypted storage on Android, and is additionally signed with a key generated per device. That signature exists to prevent unauthorised modification by third parties; it does not give us any ability to read the contents.

4. Advertising

The App displays ads via Google AdMob, in three forms:

• Banner ads at the top and bottom of the screen
• A video (rewarded) ad played when you choose "watch an ad to undo a move" after getting stuck
• A full-screen (interstitial) ad shown every three runs

Google and other third-party ad providers may use cookies or similar technologies (such as advertising identifiers) to serve ads based on your prior access history. For how Google uses information as an advertising provider, see How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services and the Google Privacy Policy.

While "Remove ads for 1 week" is active, none of the three kinds of ads are shown, and no advertising-related information is collected during that period. The undo feature still works during that period — it simply no longer requires watching an ad.

5. In-app purchases

Payments for the App's in-app purchases ("Remove ads for 1 week", "Continue with your score", and realm unlocks) are processed through the store mechanisms provided by Apple or Google. Payment details such as credit card numbers are handled by those stores, and we never receive or store them.

When a purchase completes, the App records only an expiry date or a remaining count on your device. We have no mechanism for knowing who purchased what, or when.

Because purchase state is not held anywhere outside your device, ad removal, realm unlocks and carried-forward score credits are all lost if you change devices, reinstall the App, or reset your device. Every item in the App is time-limited or single-use, and there is no "Restore purchases" feature.

6. Purposes of use

Information collected in connection with the App is used only for the following purposes.

• Serving ads and measuring impressions and interactions (by the third-party ad provider)
• Detecting and preventing invalid clicks and abuse (by the third-party ad provider)
• Processing in-app purchase payments and delivering what was purchased (by the stores)
• Saving game records and purchase state (entirely on your device)
• Responding to enquiries (only if you contact us)

7. Disclosure to third parties

We hold no information about users, so there is nothing for us to disclose to third parties. Collection by the third-party services described in sections 2 and 4 is carried out by those providers on their own responsibility.

This does not apply where disclosure is required by law, or where it is necessary to protect a person's life, body or property and obtaining consent is difficult.

8. Retention and deletion

Game records and the ad-free expiry stored on your device are deleted when you uninstall the App. There is no need to ask us to delete anything.

The App also lets you erase a realm's records yourself (best score, highest rank, level progress and the saved board) once you have cleared every level in it. That action cannot be undone.

Retention periods and deletion procedures for information collected by third-party services follow those providers' own privacy policies.

9. Children's privacy

The App is not designed for any particular age group and is not a child-directed app.

We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian concerned that information about your child may have been collected through a third-party service, please contact us using section 15.

10. Security measures

Data stored on your device uses the encrypted storage provided by the OS (Keychain on iOS, encrypted internal storage on Android). It is additionally signed (HMAC-SHA256) with a key generated per device, so that modified data is detected and reset. Clock rollbacks are also detected for items that carry an expiry date.

We cannot, however, guarantee security on devices where the OS protections themselves have been disabled, such as rooted or jailbroken devices.

11. International transfers

The advertising provider described in section 4 and the store operators may process information on servers located outside your country. Please refer to each provider's privacy policy for how they handle such transfers.

12. California residents (CCPA / CPRA)

Residents of California have the right to know about, to delete, and to opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information collected about them.

We do not sell personal information. For information handled for advertising purposes, please contact the ad provider directly, or disable personalised ads in your device settings (iOS: Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking; Android: Settings → Google → Ads).

13. App permissions

The permissions the App requests, and what they are used for:

The App does not request access to location, camera, microphone, contacts, photos or storage.

14. Changes to this policy

We may change this policy in response to changes in law, changes to the App, or changes to the third-party services it uses. Changes take effect when posted on this page. For significant changes we will give notice in the App or in the store release notes.
