Diamonds is a turn-based territory game published by FintasticApps ("we", "us"). This policy explains what personal data the game collects, why we collect it, and what control you have over it. It applies to the Diamonds mobile apps and to diamondsthegame.com.
You sign in with Google. We never see or store your Google password. From that sign-in we receive and store:
We use Google Firebase Analytics to understand which parts of the game people use, in aggregate.
We also keep our own copy of the same usage events on our servers, because Firebase cannot answer questions about our own accounts and is blocked entirely in many browsers. These events record what happened — a page was viewed, a game was started, a score was reached, a result was shared — and never the content of a game or anything you have written.
So that we can tell how many people reach the game before signing in, your browser stores a random identifier
under diamonds.anon.v1. It is a random number and nothing more: it is not derived from your device,
your network or anything about you, and we do not use it to recognise you on any other website. Clearing your
browser storage removes it permanently, and deleting your account deletes the events recorded against it.
Diamonds does not display ads. We do, however, buy them — and to know whether an advert actually brought anyone to the game, we use the Meta pixel and server-side Conversions API when advertising measurement is permitted. These integrations may remain disabled until configured.
Where it is active, Meta sets its own cookies (_fbp, and _fbc if you arrived by
clicking one of our ads). The marketing site can send a page view. For Daily puzzles we send the first
completed puzzle per known player and UTC puzzle day, whether playing as a guest or signed in and whether
the result is a win, loss, or draw. Browser and server copies use the same opaque event identifier so Meta
can deduplicate them. Retries and sign-in do not intentionally create another conversion. We cannot reliably
identify one person across previously unrelated guest/account identities before they are linked.
What we do not send. We do not give Meta your email address, your name, your account id, or device fingerprint, scores, or board state. A completion event includes its time and the canonical Daily page address, not arbitrary URL query parameters. Browser requests necessarily expose network/browser information to Meta; server-side matching uses only eligible advertising context, not raw account identifiers.
This does mean Meta can use these events for advertising purposes, including showing you our ads elsewhere and finding people similar to our players. Use Ad privacy on the site or in the game to refuse or withdraw advertising permission. The preference is shared across this same-origin site and game. We require opt-in where applicable, including when the server cannot establish your region; elsewhere we provide an opt-out. Region is not inferred from your device timezone. Global Privacy Control and Do Not Track signals disable advertising measurement.
Withdrawal stops future browser events immediately and asks our server to suppress unsent delivery work. If offline, server withdrawal takes effect when that request can reach us; already delivered events cannot be recalled by this control. A blocked Pixel does not by itself stop permitted server-side delivery, so a tracker blocker is not a substitute for withdrawing permission here. Signing in is not advertising consent. Gameplay, result saving, and account adoption work without it, and later consent does not backfill earlier unpermitted completions. Advertising click context is retained in this browser for at most 90 days; local receipt deduplication records cover 24 hours. Server delivery retries are time-limited.

We do not sell your personal data. We share it only with service providers who help us run the game:

| Meta (Facebook) | Measuring whether our adverts worked — see "Advertising" above |
We may also disclose data if required by law, or to protect the rights and safety of our players.
Your display name, XP, and game results are visible to players you play against. Your email address is never shown to other players.
We keep your account data for as long as your account exists. If you delete your account, we erase your personal data within 30 days, except where we must keep records to comply with the law. Finished game records may be retained in an anonymised form that cannot be linked back to you.
You can ask us to:
Email dev.abhinav.tripathi@gmail.com and we will respond within 30 days. If you are in the EEA or UK, you may also complain to your local data protection authority.
Diamonds is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their data. If you believe a child has given us personal data, contact us and we will delete it.
Data is transmitted over encrypted connections and stored on managed infrastructure with access controls. Sensitive fields are encrypted at rest. No system is perfectly secure, but we take reasonable steps to protect your data.
Our providers may process data in countries other than yours, including the United States. Where required, these transfers rely on Standard Contractual Clauses or an equivalent safeguard.
We will update this page if this policy changes and revise the date above. Significant changes will be announced in the game.
