Privacy Policy
Effective date: April 10, 2026
Introduction
Cold War Chess ("we", "our", or "the app") is a strategy game for iOS, Android, and macOS. We are committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains what information the app collects, how it is used, and your rights regarding that information.
Information We Collect
Cold War Chess collects minimal data:
- Anonymous gameplay statistics: We collect anonymous, aggregated gameplay data such as missions completed, win/loss records, and difficulty selections. This data is stored via Apple's CloudKit service and contains no personally identifiable information. It is used solely to improve game balance and the player experience.
- Online multiplayer records: When you play online multiplayer, your opponent's Game Center player ID and display name are recorded alongside match statistics in our CloudKit database. This information is used only to associate game outcomes with sessions and is not shared with third parties or used for advertising.
- No account required: We do not require you to create an account or provide any personal information such as your name, email address, or phone number to use the app.
- No third-party analytics or tracking: We do not use any third-party analytics, advertising frameworks, or tracking tools. All gameplay data is collected exclusively through Apple's CloudKit and Game Center infrastructure.
Data Storage
Your game progress and save data are stored locally on your device. Anonymous gameplay statistics are stored via Apple's CloudKit service. Online multiplayer match records, including opponent Game Center identifiers, are stored in a CloudKit public database. We do not operate external servers for data collection. CloudKit and Game Center data are governed by Apple's Privacy Policy.
On Android and macOS, your data is stored locally on your device only.
Third-Party Services
Cold War Chess does not integrate with or share data with any third-party advertisers or data brokers. The only external services used are Apple's CloudKit for gameplay statistics and Game Center for online multiplayer functionality.
Children's Privacy
Cold War Chess does not knowingly collect any personal information from children. The app does not require any personal data to function.
Data Deletion
You can delete all local app data at any time by deleting the app from your device. On Apple devices, you can manage or delete your iCloud data through Settings > Apple ID > iCloud > Manage Storage. Anonymous gameplay statistics that have already been aggregated cannot be attributed to individual users and therefore cannot be individually deleted. Online multiplayer records stored in CloudKit may be requested for deletion by contacting us at the address below.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date. Continued use of the app after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
