Ayò privacy policy
Updated 8 November 2026. This policy describes the planned store edition of Ayò Ọlọ́pọ́n, operated by XTHETIC STUDIO LTD. Contact support@xthetics.co.uk for privacy questions.
Your game stays on your device
You can play without creating an Ayò account. Preferences, sound settings, local league progress, game currency and advertising frequency counters are stored on your device. The app does not upload these records to an Ayò game server. This edition has no online rooms, chat, global leaderboard or cloud-save service. Removing the app or clearing its data may delete local progress.
Store purchases
Permanent ad removal is an optional one-time purchase through Apple App Store or Google Play. The store handles payment details and account authentication; Ayò does not receive your payment-card number or store password. The app checks signed purchase information and ownership, handles pending transactions and restores eligible ownership for the same store account. Store providers process transaction/account information under their own privacy notices. Apple and Google purchases do not automatically transfer between platforms. A refunded or revoked purchase may remove the entitlement.
Advertising and privacy choices
The planned free edition uses Google AdMob for occasional ads between completed matches. No ad interrupts a sowing move. An ad-free owner does not receive between-match ads. Advertising remains unavailable unless the app's privacy eligibility checks pass. You can keep playing if advertising or privacy services are unavailable.
The release configuration is designed to request non-personalised ads with conservative age-of-consent treatment and General-rated content. Non-personalised does not mean no data is processed. Google advertising and privacy SDKs may process IP address and approximate location derived from it, app/device identifiers, ad impressions and interactions, app interactions, crash and performance diagnostics, and privacy choices. This app does not request precise-location, contact-book, microphone or camera access. The Android build removes advertising-ID and AdServices permissions. Other app/device identifiers may still be processed. The app does not request Apple's tracking permission. Advertising availability depends on your region, privacy status and the active app configuration. We do not request precise-location access or use personalised advertising in this edition.
Use Privacy Choices in Menu to view available advertising privacy options. Where a choice is required, you make it yourself. If a required form cannot be loaded, advertising stays unavailable. The app does not choose consent for you. Google's privacy notice: https://policies.google.com/privacy. Advertising technology information: https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads.
Support and website visits
If you email support, we receive your email address and the information you choose to provide. Send only details needed to describe the problem; do not send passwords, payment-card numbers or verification codes. Our support website's host may process routine request/security logs such as IP address, requested page and browser information. These support interactions are separate from local gameplay.
Purposes, storage and your choices
We use local records to run the game; purchase information to supply and restore ad removal; advertising/privacy information to deliver eligible advertising, measure it, prevent fraud and operate privacy choices; and support correspondence to answer requests. Provider records are retained under the relevant provider's policies. We retain support correspondence only as needed to handle the request and applicable recordkeeping obligations; we have not set a universal deletion period for provider-controlled records. Providers may process information internationally under their applicable arrangements.
You can change local settings in Menu, remove local game data using device controls, manage store purchases through Apple or Google, use available Privacy Choices, and contact us about access, correction, objection or deletion requests. We may need to verify a request and explain records controlled by a platform provider. Depending on where you live, you may also contact your data-protection regulator, including the UK Information Commissioner's Office or Nigeria Data Protection Commission. No statement here limits statutory rights.
Audience and changes
The intended audience is ages 13 and above; this is not a child-directed service. Conservative advertising settings do not constitute age verification. If you believe a child has sent personal information to support, contact us. We will update this policy when the app's actual data practices change.
