Nyxel / Your Move / Privacy policy
Privacy policy
YourMove is a turn-based board game app for two players, made by Nyxel. This policy says what we collect when you play, why, who else handles it for us, how long we keep it, and how you can see or delete it. If anything here is unclear, write to nyxel.help@gmail.com.
What we collect
- Your account. An account id. If you play as a guest, that's all. If you sign in with Google or Apple, we also get the name, email address and profile picture that account shares with us.
- Your profile. The name you choose, your avatar, the designs you wear, and your friend code.
- Your games. Matches, their moves and results, your ratings and places on leaderboards, and the players you've played.
- Friends and messages. Your friends and friend requests, the messages you send friends, and chat and reactions during a match.
- Presence. Whether you're online, when you were last active, and the game you're playing, shown to your friends.
- Coins and purchases. Your coin balance and its history, and for purchases the store's order and product ids. Payment itself is handled by Google Play or the App Store; we never see your card details.
- Rewarded videos. If you choose to watch a video for coins, Google AdMob shows it and tells our server that you finished it.
- Notifications. A push token for your device, so we can tell you when it's your move.
- Reports and blocks. Reports you make about other players (and ones made about you), and the players you've blocked.
- Crash reports. When the app hits an error: what went wrong, your device model, system version and app version. These aren't linked to your account.
- Server logs. Our servers log requests, including your IP address, the app version and the account making them.
Why we use it
- To run the game: your account, matches, friends, messages, coins and notifications.
- To keep it fair and safe: checking moves and purchases, stopping abuse and cheating, and reviewing reports.
- To fix problems: crash reports and logs.
- To pay for it: rewarded videos you choose to watch, and coin purchases.
We don't sell your data, and we don't use it to show you personalised ads ourselves.
Who else handles it
These companies process data for us, only to provide their service:
| Google (Firebase) | Sign-in, push notifications, presence and in-match reactions, crash reports |
|---|---|
| Google Cloud | Our game servers and their logs |
| Supabase | Our database |
| Google Play, Apple | Payments, and sign-in with Google or Apple |
| Google AdMob | Rewarded videos, only when you choose to watch one |
AdMob may use your device's advertising id and similar data to show and measure ads, under Google's privacy policy. Where the law requires it (for example in the EEA and the UK), the app asks for your consent first, and you can change your choice in Settings ▸ Privacy & data. Your device's settings also let you reset or turn off the advertising id.
Other players see your name, avatar, designs, ratings and results, and your friends see when you're online. We may also disclose data when the law requires it.
How long we keep it
| Direct messages | 24 hours |
|---|---|
| Match chat | 2 hours |
| A match's moves | 48 hours after it ends |
| Finished matches | 90 days |
| Crash reports | 90 days |
| Server logs | 30 days |
| Your account and profile | Until you delete your account |
| Coin and purchase records | As long as the law requires us to keep records of payments |
| Reports | As long as we need them to keep players safe |
Your choices
- See your data: Settings ▸ Privacy & data ▸ Copy my data.
- Change it: edit your name and avatar on your profile.
- Delete your account: Settings ▸ Privacy & data ▸ Delete account, or see how to delete your account without the app.
- Notifications: turn them off in Settings or in your device's settings.
- Ad privacy: Settings ▸ Privacy & data ▸ Ad privacy choices, where the law asks for it.
Depending on where you live, you may have more rights, such as objecting to how we use your data or complaining to a data protection authority. Write to us and we'll help.
Children
YourMove is not meant for children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect data from them. If you think a child has an account, write to us and we'll delete it.
Security
Data travels encrypted, and our database only accepts our own servers. No system is perfectly secure, but we work to protect what you trust us with.
Changes
If this policy changes, we'll update the date above, and tell you in the app if the change matters.
