Privacy Policy

In short

You don't need an account to play Barikat. We don't ask for your name, email, phone number or location. We don't sell personal data.

What we collect

• Nickname: The name you pick in your profile; other players see it in online games and on the leaderboard.
• Random player ID: On first launch the app creates a random ID and secret key, stored on our game server to keep your rating and leaderboard spot. This ID is not linked to your real identity.
• Game stats: Online rating, wins and losses. Stats from games against the AI stay on your device only.
• In-game communication: Preset emoji reactions sent during a game go only to the players at that table and are not stored.

Ads (Google AdMob)

The app is free and supported by ads shown by Google AdMob. AdMob may use information such as device type, IP address, approximate region and — only with your permission — the advertising identifier (IDFA) to show and measure ads.

• On first launch you may see a window asking about ad preferences (GDPR consent in the EEA and UK).
• iOS asks for App Tracking Transparency permission. If you choose "Ask App Not to Track", your advertising identifier is not shared and you see non-personalized ads.
• You can change your choices in Profile → "Privacy choices" (when shown) and in iOS Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking.

In-app purchase

The "Remove ads" purchase is made through the Apple App Store. We never see your payment details; Apple verifies the purchase on your device.

Retention and deletion

Your nickname and stats on the game server are kept while you keep playing. To have your data deleted, email us at the address below with the nickname shown in your profile. Deleting the app also deletes all data on your device.

Children

Barikat is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect data from them.
