Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 6, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Preferans handles information when you use the iOS app.

Information We Collect

Preferans is a card game app. The app does not collect real-money payment information, location, contacts, health data, photos, or advertising identifiers.

When you use online play, the app may process:

  • Your Sign in with Apple user identifier.
  • Your display name.
  • Room codes, room participation details, game state, bids, cards, turns, and score data needed to run an online game.
  • Basic timestamps such as when a room or game event was created or updated.

When you use the app locally without online room features, gameplay data is handled on your device.

How We Use Information

We use information only to:

  • Create and manage online game rooms.
  • Let invited players identify who joined a room.
  • Synchronize game actions and scoring between players.
  • Restore your signed-in profile on your device.
  • Provide support if you contact us.

Preferans does not sell your personal information. If tracking or attribution features are enabled, Preferans asks for permission through Apple’s App Tracking Transparency prompt before accessing tracking data. You can decline tracking and continue using the app.

Apple Services

Preferans uses Apple services, including Sign in with Apple and iCloud CloudKit, to support account identity and online multiplayer. Information handled by Apple services is also subject to Apple’s privacy practices.

Online room and game records may be stored in Apple’s iCloud infrastructure through CloudKit so that invited players can access the same room.

Local Storage

The app may store your online profile on your device using iOS local storage so that you do not need to sign in again each time you open the app.

Data Sharing

We do not share your information with advertisers or data brokers. Online room information is shared only as needed with players who join the same room.

We may disclose information if required by law or to protect the app, users, or developer rights.

Data Retention

Online room and gameplay records are kept only as long as reasonably needed to operate multiplayer and maintain app functionality. Local profile data remains on your device until you sign out, delete the app, or clear the app’s data.

Children

Preferans is not intended to collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information, contact us so we can review and delete it where appropriate.

Your Choices

You can:

  • Use local play without joining online rooms.
  • Sign out in the app to remove the locally stored online profile.
  • Use Delete account data in Settings to remove the locally stored online identity, display name, and anonymous room account from your device.
  • Delete the app to remove local app data from your device.
  • Contact us to request help with privacy questions.

Changes

We may update this Privacy Policy as the app changes. The updated version will be posted on this page with a new “Last updated” date.
