Flipotron Privacy Policy

Effective date: 9 November 2026

Flipotron is a strategy game made by Aether Syntax LLC ("we", "us"). This policy explains what happens to information when you play Flipotron on iPhone, iPad, Mac or Android. The short version: we do not collect, store or sell any personal information, and we run no servers.

What we collect

Nothing. Flipotron has no accounts, no advertising, no analytics, no crash-reporting service and no tracking of any kind. We never receive your name, email, location, contacts, photos or device identifiers.

What stays on your device

The game saves your settings, puzzle progress, statistics, finished matches and the list of items you have bought, so it can show them to you. This information is stored only inside the app on your device. It is included in your normal device backups (iCloud or Google backup) like any other app data, and it is deleted when you delete the app.

Playing with other people

• Play Nearby connects directly to a device in the same room, over Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. Only the display name you choose (by default "Player" and a number, never your real or device name) and the moves you play are sent to the other player. Nothing goes through the internet or through us. Nearby matches are not encrypted, so do not use a display name you want to keep private.
• Game Center (Apple devices) is optional. If you sign in, Apple shares your Game Center nickname and your moves with your opponent, and records your achievements and leaderboard scores. This is handled by Apple under Apple's Privacy Policy.
• Shared matches (Android) are text messages you choose to send with an app of your choice. They contain the display names and moves of that match.

Purchases

Purchases are handled entirely by the App Store or Google Play. We never see your payment details. The game only learns which items you own so it can unlock them.

Services provided by Apple and Google

Flipotron uses services built into your device: Game Center, iCloud and the App Store on Apple devices, and Google Play Billing and Nearby Connections on Android. These services may process information under their own policies: Apple Privacy Policy and Google Privacy Policy. We do not receive that information.

Permissions

• Local Network and Bluetooth (Apple) or Nearby devices (Android) are requested only when you open Play Nearby, to find players in the same room.
• On Android 12L and older, Android requires the Location permission for nearby discovery. Flipotron never reads your location.

The game does not use your camera, microphone, contacts, photos or notifications.

Children

Flipotron is suitable for all ages. Because we collect no personal information from anyone, we do not knowingly collect information from children.

Changes

If this policy changes, we will update this page and its effective date. If we ever start collecting any information, we will say so here before the app does it.
