Hand Café: Privacy Policy

Last updated: 6 October 2026

Hand Café ("the game") is made by Arar AL Tawil. This policy explains what happens to your information when you play.

What the game stores

The game saves the following only on your device:

• your player name, if you type one (optional), and the character you picked,
• your level, XP and coins,
• your settings and the card backs and tables you own,
• when you last claimed the daily gift and how many free hints you used today,
• how many games you played and won, and whether you have seen the lesson,
• the game in progress, if you have not finished it.

We do not run servers, there is no account or sign-in, and we do not use any analytics. The name you type never leaves your device, and we do not collect your email or contacts.

Advertising (Google AdMob)

The game works fully offline; it only uses the internet for ads. The game shows ads through Google AdMob: a banner on the home and shop screens and at the bottom of the card table (below the game buttons), and sometimes a full-screen ad between rounds. To show and measure ads, Google may collect and process:

• approximate location (from your IP address),
• device information and diagnostics,
• ad interactions (for example ad views and taps),
• device identifiers such as the advertising ID.

This data is sent to Google, encrypted in transit, and handled under Google's privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy. To learn how Google uses data from apps that use its services, see https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.

In the EEA and the UK, and in US states with privacy laws, the game shows Google's consent form (UMP) where required, before any ad is loaded. You can change your choice at any time in Settings › Privacy options (ads). You can also reset or delete your advertising ID in your phone's settings.

Rewarded ads are always optional: you choose to watch them for double coins or a hint.

Purchases

The game has no in-app purchases. Coins are earned in the game and spent on card backs and tables (looks only); they can't be bought or cashed out.

Children

The game is not directed at children; it is meant for ages 13 and up.

Deleting your data

There is no reset button in the game. To delete everything the game stores, uninstall the game, or clear the app's storage in Android settings (Apps › Hand Café › Storage › Clear storage).

Changes

If this policy changes, the new version will be posted at the same address with a new date.
