Privacy for local and online play.

Android: offline gameplay and local match state

The current Android edition runs Beat the Bot offline on your device. It does not request network permission or require an account. It contains no advertising or analytics SDKs. Its offline gameplay does not collect or share personal data with Idea as Code or third parties.

Android can retain the current match state on your device to restore the same game task after an interruption. This includes scores, whose turn it is, the ball position, used paths, and the match phase. Reset match starts a fresh local match.

These statements describe the Android app's offline gameplay. Opening this privacy page or contacting support involves separate website, browser, and email processing. See Support and website visits below.

iPhone: local gameplay and saved state

The app uses game settings, scores, turns, difficulty, and board state to run gameplay. Settings and saved match state may remain on your device between sessions, including information needed to resume a match. Local play does not require creating a separate Idea as Code account.

iPhone: Apple Game Center and multiplayer

When you use Game Center features, the app works with your Game Center player identifier and display name, and relevant opponent identifiers and names. Multiplayer exchanges game-state and move information through Apple's GameKit services. Player information is used to identify participants and show the match experience. Supported Game Center features can also submit scores and achievement progress to Apple.

Apple processes Game Center account and activity information under its own policies. Other players may see your Game Center identity and shared activity according to the features and your Apple settings. See Apple's Game Center privacy notice for details about Apple's collection, visibility controls, and retention.

iPhone: your controls

You can choose local play instead of online multiplayer and manage Game Center sign-in, activity sharing, and parental controls through your device's Apple settings. Removing locally stored app data does not necessarily remove records maintained by Apple. Contact Apple about Game Center account data and use the app's available controls for local game state.

Support and website visits

If you contact us, we receive the contact details and information you send and use them to respond and troubleshoot. Send only what is needed to describe the issue. Support emails may remain in our business email systems until deleted; contact us to request review, correction, or deletion, subject to applicable obligations.

Visiting this page or following an external link involves separate website processing. Our hosting, email providers, and optional website analytics are described in the website privacy policy. Website analytics should not be confused with the app's gameplay processing.

iPhone family controls and children's support information

Parents and guardians can manage access to Game Center multiplayer and social features through Apple's family and Screen Time settings. Please contact us if you believe a child has sent personal information to our support team. We will review the request and take appropriate steps.
