Maths Game

What the app collects

Nothing. The app is built without the Android INTERNET permission, so it cannot send anything anywhere, to us or to anyone else.

There are no accounts, no sign-in, no analytics, no advertising, no crash reporting, and no third-party software development kits that report on how you play.

What the app keeps, and where

Maths Game saves a few things so that the next match starts where you left off and your scores are still there when you come back: each player's name and chosen colour; how the last match was set up — the mode, how hard, how you play, how you answer, and how it ends; the pad colour, whether the light or the dark theme is on, and whether sound and vibration are on; and your scores — each name's best solo runs (whether each answer was right, and how long it took), wins, losses and draws between names, and how far each name has climbed on the Adaptive level.

The names are the only thing here that could identify anyone, and they are whatever you typed. They are used only to show on the screen and to keep each player's scores apart. All of it is written to the app's own private storage on your device. No other app can read it, none of it leaves the phone, and uninstalling the app deletes it.

The game's sound effects are worked out by the app itself when it starts and kept in its own cache while it runs. They contain nothing about you.

Permissions

Maths Game requests one Android permission, VIBRATE, which lets the phone buzz briefly when you press a key or answer a question. You can turn vibration off inside the app.

No other permission is requested, and the app has no access to your camera, microphone, contacts, location, files or network.

Playing it in a browser

Everything above describes the Android app, which is what the Play listing links this page from. The same game also runs in a browser on shivom.me, and that version is a web page: it has to be fetched over the network, so whoever serves it records the ordinary things any web server records, such as your IP address and which files were asked for. That is the page being delivered to you, not the game watching you play.

The game itself still collects nothing and sends nothing back. Your names, your colours, your settings and your scores are kept in your browser's own storage on your device, the same way they are kept in the app's private storage on a phone, and the sounds are made in the page as it runs. Nothing is sent anywhere, and clearing the site's browsing data removes it all.

Children

The app is suitable for all ages and collects nothing from anyone, including children.

Google Play

Google Play collects its own data about installs, independently of this app. That is covered by Google's privacy policy at policies.google.com/privacy, not by this one.

Changes and contact

If this policy ever changes, the updated version will be posted at this same address with a new date above.
