Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Play Hokm collects, uses, and handles information when you use the app and related services.

Play Hokm is a multiplayer card game that lets players create or join private rooms and play Hokm online.

Play Hokm does not require account registration in the current version of the app.

Information We Collect

• Player name: the name you enter in the app so other players can identify you in a game.
• Player ID: a random identifier generated by the app and stored on your device to help reconnect you to your game session.
• Game and room information: for example game ID, room membership, team assignment, game state, and card-play actions needed to run matches.
• In-game chat content: if you use chat, the messages you send in a game room are processed and temporarily stored so players in that game can see message history.
• Technical and operational data: limited server and device connection data used to operate the service, troubleshoot problems, and monitor reliability.
• Network information: like most online services, server infrastructure may process connection data such as IP address and basic request metadata in the normal course of delivering the multiplayer service.

Information Stored on Your Device

Play Hokm stores some information locally on your device, including your player name, generated player ID, and certain game-related counters such as chat counters. This helps the app remember you between sessions and restore your current game when possible.

The app does not request your contacts, photos, precise location, microphone, or camera access in the current version of the app.

How We Use Information

• To create and manage game rooms and multiplayer matches.
• To identify players during gameplay and reconnect returning players.
• To provide in-game chat and message history for active games.
• To maintain service performance, security, and reliability.
• To diagnose bugs, abuse, and operational issues.

How Long Information Is Retained

Data is kept only as long as needed to operate the game and related services. Some game-related and chat-related server data may be removed when a game ends or when it is no longer needed for service operation. Information stored on your device remains there until you clear the app data, uninstall the app, or the app removes it.

In the current implementation, chat history is stored for active games with a limited message history and may be deleted when a game is cleaned up.

Data Sharing

Play Hokm does not sell your personal information. Information is shared only as needed to run the multiplayer service, such as showing your player name and chat messages to other players in the same game.

Play Hokm does not share your information with third-party advertisers in the current version of the app.

Advertising and Analytics

Based on the current version of the app, Play Hokm does not use third-party advertising SDKs and does not use third-party mobile analytics SDKs for behavioral profiling inside the app.

The service may use basic operational monitoring and server metrics to keep the service available and diagnose issues.

Play Hokm reserves the right to introduce advertising in a future version of the app. If advertising is added later, this Privacy Policy and any required store disclosures will be updated to describe the change before or at the time the change takes effect.

Security

Reasonable measures are used to protect information used by the service. However, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure.

Your Choices

• You can change your player name inside the app.
• You can stop using the service at any time.
• You can remove locally stored data by clearing the app's storage or uninstalling the app.

Children's Privacy

Play Hokm is not specifically directed to children under 13 as its primary target audience. However, children may use the app. If you configure the app for a child-inclusive audience in Google Play, you should make sure your store settings, privacy disclosures, and app behavior remain consistent with applicable Google Play requirements.

Changes to This Policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time. Any updated version will be posted at this page with a revised effective date.
