1. Introduction

Rule Referee is a mobile app for iPhone, iPad, and Android that gives clear, trustworthy answers to rules questions for board games and card games. This privacy policy explains what information the app handles, how it's used, and the choices you have.

Rule Referee is built and maintained by 4Seasons By Autumn.

2. Information we collect

Rule Referee is designed to collect as little information as possible.

  • The app doesn't require an account. You can use Rule Referee without signing up or logging in.
  • The app doesn't collect personal data by default. Your questions and the answers you receive stay on your device.
  • The only information that may be collected is content you choose to send, like a game suggestion or feedback sent through an in-app form or by email.

3. How we use information

Anything you choose to share is used only to improve Rule Referee:

  • To review and possibly add new games, rules, or features
  • To diagnose and fix issues you report
  • To improve the overall app experience

4. Data sharing

We don't sell, rent, or share personal data with third parties. Anything you submit is reviewed internally and used only to maintain and improve the app.

5. Third-party services

Form submissions or feedback may be processed through a third-party service (such as Formspree or a similar provider) for the sole purpose of delivering your message.

Subscriptions are bought and managed through the Apple App Store or Google Play, which handle payment under their own privacy policies. Rule Referee never sees your payment details.

Rule Referee doesn't use advertising networks, third-party trackers, or analytics tools. If that ever changes, this policy will be updated first.

6. Data security

Reasonable technical and organizational measures protect any information you submit. No method of sending or storing data is perfectly secure, but submissions are kept private and limited in scope.

7. Children's privacy

Rule Referee is safe for general audiences and made to be used by families. The app doesn't knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has submitted personal information, please contact us so it can be removed.

8. Your choices

You're always in control of what you share.

  • You can use Rule Referee without submitting any information at all.
  • If you've sent feedback or a suggestion and want it removed, email us and we'll delete it.
  • You can contact us anytime with questions about this policy or your information.

9. Changes to this policy

This privacy policy may be updated as the app grows. Any changes will show up on this page, and the "last updated" date at the top will change to match the most recent revision.
