This Privacy Policy describes how Tahadi Al-Huroof ("the app", "we", "our") handles information when you use our Arabic word tile game on iOS. By using the app you agree to the terms below.

1. Information we collect

We have designed Tahadi Al-Huroof to collect as little personal information as possible.

Stored locally on your device only

• Game progress: scores, win/loss history, learned-words log, login streak.
• Settings: sound, haptics, Live Activities preference, active tile theme.
• Soft-currency coin balance and in-app purchase entitlements (e.g. Remove Ads).

This data lives entirely in the app's sandbox on your device. We do not transmit it to any server we control.

Shared with Apple's Game Center (only when you play online)

• Your Game Center user identifier (gamePlayerID) so we can match you with opponents and resume in-progress matches.
• Match state (board, scores, move history) is transmitted through Game Center to your opponent so they can take their turn.
• Your display name as it appears in Game Center is shown to your opponents.

Online play is optional. If you only play single-player or pass-and-play modes, nothing is sent to Game Center.

Shared with Apple's StoreKit (only when you make a purchase)

• Purchase receipts for In-App Purchases (Remove Ads, coin packs) are handled by Apple. We do not see your payment details.

2. Information we do not collect

• We do not collect your name, email, phone number, address, or contacts.
• We do not collect your location.
• We do not use third-party advertising SDKs in this release.
• We do not use third-party analytics SDKs.
• We do not track you across other apps or websites.

3. Third parties

The only third party involved in this app is Apple itself, through:

• Game Center (for online multiplayer, leaderboards, and achievements).
• StoreKit (for In-App Purchases).
• UITextChecker (system Arabic dictionary, used locally for word validation — no network required).

Apple's handling of your data is governed by Apple's own Privacy Policy.

4. Children

The app is rated 4+ and is appropriate for children. It does not collect personal information from any user, including children. If you believe a child has provided us with information through some other channel, please contact us and we will delete it.

5. Data retention & deletion

Because all gameplay data lives on your device, you can delete everything at any time by deleting the app from your iPhone or iPad. Active Game Center match data is managed by Apple — you can resign or remove matches inside the app or directly in Game Center.

6. Your rights

You have the right to access, correct, or delete any personal data we hold about you. Since the app does not transmit personal data off your device, this typically means uninstalling the app. For Game Center data, please refer to Apple's tools.

7. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be announced in the app's "What's New" section and reflected in the "Last updated" date at the top of this page.
