Mimic Chess Privacy Policy
Effective date: November 5, 2026
This policy explains what information the Mimic Chess mobile game (the “Game”) handles, why, and the choices you have. The Game is published by Kale App (“we”, “us”). If you have a question, write to contact@kaleapp.net.
In short:
- You do not create an account with us, and we do not ask for your name, email address or phone number.
- Your progress and settings stay on your device.
- Service providers receive device and usage data so the Game can show ads, report crashes and measure how it is played.
- Payments are handled by Google Play or the App Store. We never see your card details.
Information stored on your device
The Game saves your level progress, best scores, settings, language choice and a record of your “Remove Ads” purchase on your device. We do not receive this data, and it is deleted when you uninstall the Game. If you contact us by email, we receive what you send, including your email address and the device details the Game adds to the message, which you can remove before sending.
Information collected by service providers
The Game uses the services below. They may collect information automatically and handle it under their own privacy policies.
| Service | Purpose | Information involved |
|---|---|---|
| Google AdMob Privacy policy |
Showing ads, including optional ads you watch to get a hint | IP address, device and app information, ad interactions and your advertising ID (on iOS, only if you allow tracking). Where required, this depends on the choices you make in the consent forms. |
| Google Analytics for Firebase Privacy information |
Understanding how the Game is played so we can improve it | App instance ID, device information, approximate location derived from your IP address, and Game events such as levels started and finished, time taken, hints, tutorial steps, ads shown, purchase outcomes, notification use and language. |
| Firebase Crashlytics | Finding and fixing crashes | Crash traces, device state and a Crashlytics installation identifier. |
| Firebase Cloud Messaging | Delivering messages to your device | Firebase installation ID and a messaging token. |
| Firebase Realtime Database | Checking Game settings, such as whether an update is required | The request is read-only and contains no personal details, but Google’s servers receive your IP address. |
| Google Play Games (Android) and Game Center (iOS) | Leaderboards and achievements | Your player profile on that service, along with your scores and achievements. |
| Google Play and the App Store | Processing the “Remove Ads” purchase | The store handles payment. The Game receives a purchase confirmation and checks that you own the product. |
| Unity Privacy policy |
The engine and purchasing tools the Game is built with | Technical device and app information. |
Advertising and your choices
- In the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and other places where it is required, a consent form lets you choose how your data is used for ads.
- In US states with their own privacy laws, you can opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information for advertising.
- Where these rules apply, you can change your choices at any time under “Privacy options” in the Game’s Settings.
- On iOS, the Game asks your permission before using your advertising identifier (IDFA) to personalize ads. If you decline, it is not used, and you can change this under Settings > Privacy & Security > Tracking on your device.
- On Android, you can limit ad tracking or reset your advertising ID in your device settings.
- Buying “Remove Ads” removes interstitial ads. Ads you choose to watch for a hint remain available.
Notifications
If you allow notifications, the Game schedules reminders on your device for days you have not played. They are created on the device from your local play time and language. You can turn them off at any time in your device settings.
Why we use this information
We use information to run and improve the Game, fix problems, show ads that fund it, verify purchases, and respond to you. Where the GDPR or similar laws apply, we rely on your consent for personalized advertising and notifications, on performing our agreement with you for providing the Game and purchases, and on our legitimate interests in keeping it stable and improving it.
Sharing
We do not sell your personal information for money. Information reaches the service providers listed above as described here. We may also disclose information if the law requires it. In some places, including certain US states, using data for personalized ads can count as a “sale” or “sharing” under local law, and you can opt out through “Privacy options” in the Game’s Settings and your device settings.
Retention
Data on your device stays until you uninstall the Game. Service providers keep data according to their own retention periods and our settings with them. We keep support emails for as long as we need them to help you and meet legal obligations.
International transfers
Our service providers may process information in countries other than yours, including the United States, under the safeguards they provide.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, including under the GDPR, UK GDPR, California law and Turkey’s KVKK, you may have the right to access, correct or delete your personal data, object to or restrict its use, withdraw consent, and complain to a data protection authority. Because we do not run player accounts, we usually cannot link data held by service providers to you. To make a request, email us at contact@kaleapp.net, and you can also use the tools each provider offers. Uninstalling the Game removes the data stored on your device.
Children
The Game is not directed to children under 13 (or the minimum age required in your country), and we do not knowingly collect their personal information. If you believe a child has given us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.
Security
We use reasonable measures to protect information, and connections to our services are encrypted. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy. We will change the effective date above and, for significant changes, ask you to review it again in the Game.
