Tic-Tac Tussle is an N-player Tic-Tac-Toe game for Android, iOS and the web. It's built to be played entirely on your device — against friends passing the phone around, or against the built-in CPU opponents — with no account and no game server. The Android and iOS apps need no internet connection at all; the web version only needs one to load the game.
This policy explains, plainly, what that means for your data: in short, there isn't any to explain.
01Information we collect
None. Tic-Tac Tussle does not collect, transmit, sell, or share any personal information, usage data, or device identifiers. There is no account to create, no sign-in, and nothing is ever sent from your device to us or to anyone else.
02What's stored on your device
The app saves a small amount of preference data locally, using standard on-device storage (SharedPreferences on Android, NSUserDefaults on iOS):
- Battery friendliness — whether you've chosen to save battery or let the CPU players think faster.
- Engine — whether the CPU players use the Native or the Compatibility engine.
- Appearance — whether the app uses a light or dark look, or matches your device.
- Sound & haptics — whether sounds and vibrations are switched on.
- Player names — up to 30 of the most recent names you've typed in for human players, remembered so they can be suggested again next time.
The web version saves the same appearance, sound and player-name preferences in your browser's own storage (localStorage) for this site; it has no battery or engine settings to save. Clearing this site's data in your browser erases them.
Match settings such as board size and player count are not saved; they reset each time the app starts. The app also keeps temporary copies of its own built-in sound effects in its cache so they can play quickly — these are part of the app, not information about you.
All of it stays on your device. It is never uploaded, synced, or made visible to us. Uninstalling the app, or clearing its storage in your device settings, erases it completely.
03Third parties
Tic-Tac Tussle does not integrate any third-party analytics, advertising, or crash-reporting services. There are no ad networks, no tracking pixels, and no software development kits that phone home.
The web version and these pages are hosted by Netlify. Like any web host, Netlify's servers necessarily receive your IP address and basic request details (such as your browser type) when they deliver the pages to you; we don't collect, analyze, or use that information. Once loaded, the web game runs entirely in your browser and sends nothing back.
The website's pages (this one and the home page, but not the game) load the Montserrat font from Google Fonts, so Google likewise receives your IP address when you view them.
04Children's privacy
Because the app collects no information from anyone, it collects none from children either. Tic-Tac Tussle is safe for players of any age under this policy without qualification.
05Changes to this policy
If this policy ever changes — for instance, if a future version of the app adds a feature that does use data — this page will be updated and the effective date above will change accordingly. Since the app has no way to contact you directly, checking back here is the way to stay informed.
