Draco Game · x-board
Privacy Policy
This policy explains what x-board collects when you play, why we collect it, who we share it with, and the choices you have — including how ads work in the game and how to delete your account and data.
01 Who we are
x-board is an online board-game arena (Tic-Tac-Toe, Gomoku, Connect Four, Reversi, Dots & Boxes and Checkers) operated by Draco Game. We do not sell your personal data. The information below is what we need to let you sign in, match with opponents, keep your ranking, process purchases and show ads that keep the game free to play.
In this policy, “we”, “us” and “x-board” mean Draco Game as the operator of the game and the services at bravedragon.xyz. Use of the game is also governed by our Terms of Service.
02 Information we collect
Account & sign-in
When you sign in with Google, Apple or as a guest, our authentication provider (Firebase) gives us a user ID, and — for non-guest accounts — your email address and sign-in provider. You may also set a display name, country and avatar.
Gameplay
Match results and history, your ranking and league points, and in-game progress such as currency, items, level and experience. This is what makes leaderboards and matchmaking work.
Purchases
If you buy something, Apple or Google processes the payment and we receive a record that the purchase is valid, plus the entitlement it grants. We never receive or store your card or bank details.
Advertising
The game shows ads served by Google AdMob. To deliver, limit and measure ads and to prevent ad fraud, AdMob collects your device’s advertising ID, IP address, approximate location derived from it, device and app information, and how you interact with ads. Ads may be personalised only where you have consented, where the law requires consent.
Technical data
Basic connection information needed to deliver and protect the service — IP address, request and error logs — handled in part by our network provider (Cloudflare).
03 How we use your information
- Authenticate you and keep you signed in across sessions.
- Match you with opponents and run live games.
- Maintain rankings, leaderboards and your in-game economy.
- Validate in-app purchases and grant what you bought.
- Show ads that fund the free game, and measure how they perform.
- Keep the service secure, diagnose problems and prevent abuse and fraud.
We process this data to provide the game you asked for, to meet our legal and security obligations, for the legitimate interest of running a reliable, fair service, and — for personalised ads where the law requires it — on the basis of your consent.
04 Who we share it with
We share data only with the service providers that make the game work. We do not sell your data to data brokers.
- Google Firebase — account sign-in and identity.
- Google AdMob — serving and measuring ads. Google acts under its own privacy policy; see how Google uses data from apps that use its services.
- Apple & Google Play — payment processing and purchase validation.
- Cloudflare — content delivery, DNS and protection against attacks.
We may also disclose information if required by law, or to protect the rights, safety and security of our players and our service.
05 Where your data is stored
Our game servers are hosted in the European Union. Encrypted backups are stored with Cloudflare R2. Because sign-in, ads and payments run through global providers (Google, Apple, Cloudflare), some data may be processed in other countries under those providers’ own safeguards.
06 How long we keep it
We keep your account and game data for as long as your account exists. Operational logs are kept only for a short period for security and troubleshooting. Backups roll over on a short cycle and are overwritten in turn. Data collected by AdMob is kept by Google under its own retention rules. When you delete your account, your data is removed as described below.
07 Your rights & choices
You can delete your account and associated data directly from the app’s account settings. Deleting your account removes your profile, progress and ranking; some records we are required to keep (for example, proof that a purchase occurred) may be retained for legal and accounting reasons.
Ad choices
- In the European Economic Area, the UK and Switzerland, the game asks for your consent before personalised ads are shown. You can change your choice from the app’s settings.
- On Android you can reset or delete your advertising ID, or opt out of ad personalisation, in your device’s Settings → Google → Ads (or Settings → Privacy → Ads). You will still see ads, but they will be less relevant.
08 Children
x-board is not directed to children under 13 (or the minimum age required in your country), and we do not knowingly collect their personal data. If you believe a child has provided us information, contact us and we will delete it.
09 Security
Access to the game is served only over encrypted connections, purchases are verified server-side, and access to our systems is restricted. No online service can promise perfect security, but we take reasonable measures to protect your information.
10 Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as the game evolves or the law changes. When we make a material change, we will update the “Effective” date above and, where appropriate, notify you in the app.
