The following privacy policy is intended to inform you in particular about the type, scope, purpose, duration, and legal basis for the processing of personal information in the app SkatGenie ("ASG").
The ASG respects your privacy. It is the goal to keep the personal information used in the ASG to a minimum. Personal information is only processed in the ASG if you really wish to do so.
The personal information that may be collected by the ASG and may be considered personal information under applicable data protection laws falls into the following two categories:
Primarily the ASG collects data about the game (e.g. game statistics, game progress, game performance, preferred game settings, etc.).
In addition it only collects automatically the language setting of your device to show you the right privacy policy.
The ASG can be personalized easily. You may change your players' profile picture and design your own playing cards. You can also pick your own player's name and select your preferred language. Please note that it up to you to use your real name or a fictional one. The same applies to the players' profile pictures.
To change your profile picture or the design of your playing cards, the ASG will request access to your private photo collection. The pictures you pick and import from your photo library will be stored in the ASG, so you do not have to do it after each app launch again.
The ASG supports multi-player gaming. You can play with other players near you if they also have installed the ASG. To inform other player nearby, your player's name and your profile picture, a random ID-number is transmitted wirelessly besides other general gaming data securely to the other players. Your own card designs are not transmitted, though.
The exchange of personal information happens only after you activated the multi-player mode in the ASG.
If you do not want to reveal your identity to other players, you should not enter your real name or import pictures that depict you in the ASG. You can protect your privacy by using the default settings of the ASG, or you could use pseudonyms and other random pictures instead.
If you play the daily challenges, you can compete with other players around the globe. This requires communication with Apple's data centers. The ASG transmits and receives only data that is relevant to the game. For more information regarding Apple's privacy policy, please visit www.apple.com/privacy.
The ASG supports in-app purchases. This requires communication with Apple's data centers.
The ASG does not collect any personal information during your in-app purchases (e.g. your name, Apple-ID). This is done by Apple's App Store. (For more information regarding Apple's privacy policy, please visit www.apple.com/privacy.)
You can contact the developer of the ASG via email to give your feedback. For instance, you could send support requests, report tactical errors, etc. The provided information, the name, and the email address will be stored. The information (dealt cards of the last game, build number of ASG, etc.) will be used exclusively to improve the ASG. Neither your email nor your contact information will be given to other third parties.
Your personal information will be stored in the ASG as long as you do not delete it as described in section 6.
Your emails that you have sent to the developer of the ASG are stored as long as they are needed to improve the ASG.

(I) where you have given your consent to do so, or
(II) where your personal information is needed to perform a contract with you or the processing is in the ASG developer's legitimate interest and not superseded by your rights (e.g. to provide customer service via email).
