Privacy Policy

Last Updated: September 2026 · Effective for Version 1.2.0+

1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy explains how Board Game Audio Assistant ("we", "our", or "the application") handles your information when using our iOS application. We believe in total transparency, minimal data retention, and player privacy.

Summary: We do not require account registration, do not collect personal identities, and do not track private communications. Most preferences and recordings reside 100% locally on your iPhone or iPad.

2. Information We Handle

  • Local App Preferences: Your voice narration settings (preferred language, playback volume, speech rate, and selected TTS voice) are stored solely on your local device via Apple's standard UserDefaults system.
  • Custom Narration & Microphone (Optional): If you use the voice studio feature to record custom host narration, the app requests microphone access. Recorded audio files remain strictly inside your device's sandboxed local storage. Audio recordings are never uploaded to any remote server.
  • Anonymous Gameplay Metrics: The app records lightweight anonymous session metrics (such as rounds completed, favorite game selections, or crash occurrences) stored locally to streamline quick rematch workflows.
  • No Sensitive Personal Data: We do not ask for or collect names, email addresses, contacts, exact GPS locations, or financial payment details.

3. Advertising & Analytics (Google AdMob)

Board Game Audio Assistant is free to download and utilizes Google AdMob to serve advertisements.

  • App Tracking Transparency (ATT): On iOS 14.5 and later, we ask for your explicit permission prior to utilizing advertising identifiers (IDFA) for personalized advertisements. If you choose "Ask App not to Track", AdMob delivers only contextual, non-personalized ads.
  • Publisher Verification: Our developer domain hosts the verified app-ads.txt entry (Google AdMob Publisher ID: pub-2034595640300550) pursuant to IAB Tech Lab standards.
  • For more details regarding how Google processes advertising data, please review Google's Privacy & Terms: Google Advertising Privacy.

4. Speech Synthesis & Third-Party Services

The app provides speech guidance via two mechanisms:

  • Pre-recorded Studio Audio: Bundled directly inside the iOS app bundle, playing offline without any network usage.
  • Neural Text-to-Speech (TTS): Utilizes Apple's on-device AVSpeechSynthesizer or Google Cloud TTS API for dynamic step variations. No personal user data is attached to speech requests.

5. Children's Privacy

Board Game Audio Assistant is designed for general audiences and families. We do not knowingly solicit or collect personal information from children under the age of 13.

6. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect new game additions, regulatory obligations, or operating system upgrades. Any revisions will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page.
