Privacy Policy

Hearts app (com.kalta.cards) — last updated 22 September 2026. Version française

Who is responsible

The app is published by Mohamed Iyadh Ammar, under the name Kalta. For any question about your data: kalta.cards@gmail.com.

What never leaves your phone

Your settings, your profile (the name and avatar you choose), your practice statistics and the game in progress are stored on your device only. They are never sent to us or to anyone else, and the name you type never leaves the phone.

If Android's automatic backup is on, your phone may copy them to your own Google Drive storage and restore them if you reinstall the app. We have no access to it: that backup belongs to your Google account, not to us.

What the app does send, and why

Advertising — Google AdMob

The app is free and funded by advertising. Google Ireland Limited, through AdMob, may process:

• your device's advertising identifier;
• your IP address, from which an approximate location is derived — country or city level, never a precise position;
• device model, operating system version and language;
• your interactions with the ads shown.

Purposes: showing ads, capping how often they appear, measuring delivery, and detecting fraud.

Usage measurement — Firebase Analytics

The app reports four events, and nothing else: a game started, a game finished (with your final position), a game abandoned, and a hint watched. They are tied to an installation identifier, never to your identity.

Purpose: to know whether the game keeps its players — do they come back, and do they finish their games? This measurement follows exactly the same consent as advertising: if you decline, nothing is sent.

Crash reporting — Firebase Crashlytics

If the app stops unexpectedly, a technical report is sent: the stack trace, the device model, the OS version and an installation identifier. No game content, and nothing you have typed.

Purpose: fixing the defect. Legal basis: the legitimate interest in providing an application that works.

What the app does not do

• no account, no sign-up, no password;
• no access to contacts, photos, microphone or camera;
• no precise location;
• no sale or transfer of your data to third parties;
• no content aimed at children: the app is not designed for people under 13.

Transfers outside the European Union

Google may process this data outside the European Union under the safeguards it publishes, including standard contractual clauses. Details are in Google's policies.

Your rights

You have the right to access, rectify, erase and object to the processing of your data, and to withdraw your consent. Write to kalta.cards@gmail.com.

You can also, without writing to us:

• change your advertising consent from Settings → Privacy in the app;
• reset or delete your device's advertising identifier (Android Settings → Privacy → Ads);
• uninstall the app, which erases what it stored on your phone — the Android backup, if enabled, is deleted from your Google account settings;
• lodge a complaint with your country's data protection authority.

Retention

We keep no player database and only have access to aggregated, anonymous statistics. Retention periods applied by Google are described in its own policies.

Changes

Any change to this policy will be published on this page, along with its update date.
