Tarneeb! Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 22, 2026

Tarneeb! ("the App") is developed by Taher Abouzeid ("we," "us"). This policy explains what information the App collects, why, and the choices you have. The App does not require an account, login, or sign-up of any kind.

1. Information we collect

Advertising identifier (device ID for advertising / IDFA). The App shows ads through Google AdMob. On first launch, iOS asks your permission (App Tracking Transparency) before any advertising identifier is used. If you decline or don't respond, the App shows only non-personalized ads and no advertising identifier is used for tracking. If EU/EEA/UK privacy law applies to you, a second consent prompt (Google's User Messaging Platform) asks separately for your permission before any personalized ad is shown — declining is one tap and always available.

Anonymous device ID for online multiplayer only. If you use the App's online multiplayer feature, a random identifier is generated on your device and stored locally. It is used only to reconnect you to a match in progress if your connection drops, and is never shown to, or shared with, other players. It is not linked to your identity, name, or any personal information — we don't collect your name, email, or any account information for multiplayer.

We do not collect: your name, email address, phone number, precise or approximate location, contacts, photos, camera or microphone data, or any account credentials. The App does not have a login system.

Automatically collected technical data. Like most apps, basic technical logs (e.g., crash diagnostics, if enabled by the operating system) may be generated by Apple's platform-level services. We do not operate our own analytics or crash-reporting SDK inside the App.

2. How we use information

  • To show ads that keep the App free, and to measure ad performance, subject to your tracking and consent choices above.
  • To let online multiplayer matches reconnect you after a dropped connection.
  • We do not sell your information, and we do not use it to build a profile of you for any purpose other than the ad personalization you've explicitly consented to.

3. Your choices

  • Tracking: change your choice anytime in iOS Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking, or on your device's App Tracking settings for this app.
  • Ad personalization (EU/EEA/UK): you can revisit the consent prompt by reinstalling the App; tracking permission can be changed anytime in iOS Settings as described above.
  • Multiplayer: simply don't use the online multiplayer feature if you'd prefer not to generate the anonymous reconnection identifier described above; it is never created for single-player.

4. Data retention

The advertising identifier is retained only as long as permitted by your tracking and consent choices, and per Google AdMob's own retention rules (not ours — we never store it ourselves). The anonymous multiplayer reconnection identifier is stored only on your device and is cleared if you uninstall the App.

5. Children's privacy

Tarneeb! is a general-audience card game rated 4+ (no objectionable content) and is not directed at, or marketed to, children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, contact us at consultant.tabo@gmail.com and we will address it.

6. International users / GDPR

If you are in the EU, EEA, or UK, you have rights under GDPR regarding any personal data we process (primarily the advertising identifier, and only with your consent). Because we collect very little and store nothing on our own servers tied to your identity, most requests will simply mean: withdraw ad-personalization consent (§3) or stop using the App. To make a request, contact us at consultant.tabo@gmail.com.

7. Third-party services

  • Google AdMob — serves ads; see Google's Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy
  • Google User Messaging Platform (UMP) — manages EU/UK consent choices
  • Colyseus Cloud — hosts the online multiplayer game server (EU/London region); processes only in-memory match state and the anonymous reconnection identifier during an active match; no database of player data is kept

8. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as the App changes (e.g., when new features are added). The "Last updated" date at the top will reflect the most recent version.
