Kinged Privacy Policy

Last updated 11 November 2026

Kinged is a checkers game made by Innovare Studio ("we"). This policy explains what the app and its servers collect, why, and the choices you have.

What we collect

• Account: a random player ID and a sign-in token, created when you finish setup. If you sign in with email, your email address.
• Profile you choose: display name, avatar face and colour, capture lines, and any social handles you add, with who may see them.
• Gameplay: your matches and moves, results, trophies, wins and losses, friends and friend requests, and when you were last online (to show friends whether you are online).
• Purchases: if you subscribe to Kinged Plus, the app store and our billing provider RevenueCat tell us whether your subscription is active. We never receive your card or payment details.
• Advertising: free players see ads from Google AdMob. AdMob may use your device's advertising identifier and collect device and usage data to show and measure ads, according to the consent you give in the app. See how Google uses data.
• Technical data: our hosting provider records IP addresses and request times in short-lived server logs, used for security and to keep the service running.

We do not collect your contacts, location, photos or microphone, and we do not sell your personal data.

How we use it

To run your account and matches, show leaderboards and friends, send sign-in codes you request, provide Plus, show ads to free players, keep the service secure, and fix problems.

Who can see what

Other players can see your display name, avatar, trophies, league, capture lines, online status and match results. Your social handles are shown only as your visibility setting allows. Your email address is never shown to other players.

Service providers

Hostinger (servers and email, European Union), RevenueCat and Apple / Google (subscriptions), and Google AdMob (ads). They process data on our behalf or under their own policies.

How long we keep it

We keep your data while your account exists. When you delete your account we remove your sign-in data, email, profile and friends; finished matches remain only as an anonymous "Deleted player" so your opponents' histories stay intact.

Your choices

• Edit your profile and social visibility in the app at any time.
• Delete your account in the app (Profile → Delete account) or as described on this page.
• Change your ad consent from the app's privacy options, or reset your device's advertising ID.
• You can ask us for a copy of your data or to correct it by writing to no-reply@innovarestudio.com.

Children

Kinged is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from them. If you believe a child has given us data, contact us and we will delete it.

Changes and contact

We will update this page when our practices change. Questions: no-reply@innovarestudio.com.
