Backgammon Lite: Privacy Policy

Effective 28 September 2026

Backgammon Lite is a backgammon game for Android made by Wired Gopher Gaming. This policy explains what happens to information when you use it. In short: the app collects nothing, sends nothing, and has no access to the internet.

What the app keeps, and where

To let you continue a match and see your statistics, the app keeps these on your phone, in its own private storage:

your matches in progress and the moves of recently finished games,
your settings (level, match length, theme, sound, and so on),
your statistics and records of finished matches,
a short list of errors the app has run into, to help fix problems.

The app itself never sends any of this anywhere. Clearing the app's storage in Android's settings deletes all of it from the phone.

Android's own backup

If backup is turned on for your Google account (Settings, then Google, then Backup), Android includes the app's saved games, statistics and settings in your device backup, stored in your Google account. This is done by Android, not by the app, and restores your data if you reinstall the app or move to a new phone. The developer has no access to it. On recent versions of Android the backup is encrypted with your screen lock. You can turn it off in the same settings, and manage or delete backups in your Google account.

No internet access, no data collection

The app does not request Android's internet permission, so it cannot connect to any server. It contains no advertising, no analytics, no crash reporting service and no third-party tracking code. It does not use an account and does not ask for your name, email address, contacts, location or any other personal information. The developer receives no information about you or how you use the app.

Permissions

Vibration, to give a short buzz on moves and results when you switch on vibration in the app's settings.

What you can choose to share

Two features create a file that you can pass on through Android's share menu. Nothing is sent unless you pick where it goes, and it goes only to the app or person you pick.

Export matches creates a match file (.mat) containing the moves of your games.
Report a problem creates a plain-text report that you can read before sending. It contains the note you write, the app's version, your phone's model and Android version as reported by the system, the screen size and language, the app's settings, the games in progress, and the app's recent error messages. It contains no name, contact details or location.

If you send a problem report to the developer, it is used only to find and fix the problem, and deleted when that is done.

Children

The app collects no personal information from anyone, including children.

Changes to this policy

If the app ever changes what it does with information, this policy will be updated before that version is released, and the effective date above will change.
