Dots and Boxes XO Games
Developer: PenguCode
Last Updated: September 4, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Dots and Boxes XO Games (“the App”), developed by PenguCode (“we,” “us,” or “our”), handles information when you use the App.

1. Information We Collect

We do not directly request or collect personal information from users.

The App does not require users to create an account or provide information such as their name, email address, phone number, physical address, or other personal information.

However, the App uses Google AdMob to display advertisements. Google AdMob and the Google Mobile Ads SDK may automatically collect or process certain information from your device and your interactions with advertisements and the App.

The information that may be collected or processed by Google AdMob may include:

  • IP address, which may be used to estimate the general or approximate location of your device
  • Advertising identifiers and other device or account identifiers
  • Information about interactions with advertisements and the App, such as app launches, taps, and video views
  • Diagnostic and technical information related to the performance of the App and the SDK
  • Information used to provide, measure, and improve advertising services
  • Information used to detect, prevent, and address fraud, abuse, and security issues

The specific information collected or processed may depend on your device, settings, location, applicable laws, and the Google advertising services available to you.

2. Google AdMob and Advertising

The App uses Google AdMob, a third-party advertising service provided by Google, to display advertisements.

Google AdMob may collect, process, and share information for purposes such as:

  • Providing advertisements
  • Measuring advertising performance
  • Personalizing advertisements where permitted and applicable
  • Analytics and service improvement
  • Fraud prevention and security
  • Maintaining and improving Google's advertising services

We do not directly access, control, or determine the information collected by Google through its advertising SDK.

Google may process information in accordance with its own privacy policies, terms, and applicable laws.

For more information about how Google handles information, please review:

3. Sharing of Information

PenguCode does not sell users' personal information.

Because the App does not directly collect personal information, PenguCode does not independently share personal information collected directly from users.

However, Google AdMob is integrated into the App and may collect, process, and share information as necessary to provide its advertising services, measure advertising performance, prevent fraud, maintain security, and comply with legal requirements.

Third-party processing and sharing by Google are governed by Google's applicable policies, terms, and practices.

4. Data Security

We do not maintain a database of users' personal information.

Information handled by third-party services such as Google AdMob is subject to the security measures and practices implemented by those services. Google states that data collected by the Google Mobile Ads SDK is encrypted in transit using Transport Layer Security (TLS).

While we take reasonable steps regarding the operation of the App, no method of electronic transmission or storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

5. Data Retention and Deletion

Because PenguCode does not directly collect or maintain user accounts or a database containing users' personal information, we do not have personal user data stored by us that users need to request deletion from our systems.

Information collected or processed by Google AdMob may be retained and handled by Google according to Google's policies, systems, and applicable legal requirements.

For information about Google's handling, retention, or deletion practices, please refer to:

6. Children's Privacy

The App is intended for a general audience and is not specifically directed toward children under the age of 13.

The App does not knowingly request or directly collect personal information from children.

The App uses Google AdMob for advertising. Google may apply its own policies, safeguards, and advertising practices concerning users who are children or who are otherwise subject to applicable child-protection requirements.

Parents or guardians who have questions about the handling of information by Google AdMob should review Google's applicable privacy and advertising policies.

7. Third-Party Services

The App uses the following third-party service:

Google AdMob / Google Mobile Ads SDK
Purpose: Displaying and managing advertisements.

Google's services may collect, process, and share information as described in Google's applicable policies.

Google Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy

Google AdMob / Partner Sites Information: https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites

8. Account Information

The App does not require users to create an account or sign in.

Therefore, PenguCode does not maintain user accounts, account credentials, or account-related personal information.

9. Legal Compliance and Privacy Practices

PenguCode aims to operate the App in accordance with applicable privacy, data protection, and advertising requirements.

The App uses the Google Mobile Ads SDK (Google AdMob), a service provided by Google, for displaying advertisements. Google provides policies, documentation, and controls relating to privacy, advertising, and data handling.

We use third-party services in accordance with their applicable policies and documentation. However, information collected and processed through Google AdMob is subject to Google's own policies, terms, and practices.

Privacy and data protection requirements may vary depending on the user's country, region, device settings, and applicable laws.

10. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to the App, third-party services, legal requirements, or our privacy practices.

When we make changes, we will update the “Last Updated” date at the beginning of this Privacy Policy.

We encourage users to review this Privacy Policy periodically to remain informed about how information is handled.
