Privacy Policy
Effective date: 2026-03-21
Pocket Chips is provided by goliksim as is.
This Privacy Policy explains what data the app may process, how it is used, and what third-party services are involved.
Summary
Pocket Chips does not require account registration and does not use its own backend server to store your personal account data.
The app may still process certain data through platform and third-party services used for:
- advertising;
- in-app purchases;
- analytics and diagnostics;
- remote configuration;
- local app functionality such as custom user images and saved settings.
Data Processed by the App
Depending on how you use the app, the following data may be processed:
- purchase information, such as product identifiers and purchase status, to unlock paid features or process support purchases;
- diagnostics data, crash logs, device and app information, to detect errors and improve stability;
- app interaction and usage events, to understand feature usage and app performance;
- advertising-related identifiers and device information that may be used by advertising providers to load and measure ads;
- images you choose for player avatars, which are stored locally on your device inside the app's storage;
- local preferences and game-related settings stored on your device.
Pocket Chips does not provide its own user account system and does not intentionally collect personal data on a developer-operated server.
How Data Is Used
Data may be used to:
- show ads;
- process and restore in-app purchases;
- unlock paid functionality such as PRO mode;
- measure app usage and improve the product;
- detect, diagnose, and fix crashes or technical issues;
- load links or configuration values used by the app;
- save your local app state and selected player images.
Third-Party Services
The app uses third-party SDKs and platform services, which may process data according to their own privacy policies:
These services may process information such as app events, crash diagnostics, device metadata, purchase status, and advertising-related data.
Advertising
Pocket Chips displays ads through Google Mobile Ads / AdMob.
Advertising providers may process device identifiers, approximate technical device information, app interaction data, and ad performance data for ad delivery, fraud prevention, and measurement.
If Google Play requires an Advertising ID or ads-related disclosure for your device and app version, that processing is governed by Google's policies and SDK behavior.
In-App Purchases
Pocket Chips offers in-app purchases, including a one-time PRO upgrade and optional support purchases.
Purchases on Android are processed through Google Play Billing. The app may receive purchase status and product information needed to complete, verify, restore, and apply purchases on your device.
Pocket Chips does not operate its own payment processor.
Analytics and Crash Reporting
The app uses Firebase services such as Analytics, Crashlytics, and Remote Config.
These services may process app usage events, device/app metadata, diagnostics information, and configuration-related data in order to:
- understand app usage;
- improve performance and stability;
- diagnose failures;
- adjust app configuration without shipping a new build.
Photos and Local Storage
If you choose a custom player image, the selected image is imported into the app and stored locally in the app's private storage on your device.
The app does not need broad access to your media library for ongoing background collection. The image is used only for the feature you trigger.
The app also stores certain local preferences and app data on your device to keep the app functioning correctly.
Data Sharing
Pocket Chips does not sell your personal data.
Data may be processed by the third-party service providers listed above only as needed to provide ads, purchases, analytics, diagnostics, and related app functionality.
Data Retention
Locally stored data, such as selected player images and preferences, remains on your device until you remove the app data or uninstall the app.
Retention of analytics, diagnostics, ads, or billing-related data handled by third-party providers is governed by those providers' own policies.
Children's Privacy
Pocket Chips is not directed to children under 13, and the developer does not knowingly collect personal data directly from children through a dedicated backend service.
If you believe a child has provided personal information in a way that should be addressed, contact the developer using the email below.
Security
Reasonable efforts are made to use trusted platform and third-party services, but no method of electronic transmission or storage is completely secure.
Links to Other Sites
The app may contain links to third-party websites or store pages. Their content and privacy practices are governed by their own policies.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time. The current version will be published at the provided privacy policy link.
