Effective 14 October 2026. Applies to DiceMate: Dice Chess for iPhone and its widgets.
DiceMate: Dice Chess ("DiceMate", "we") is made by an independent developer, who is the data controller for the data described here. You can reach us at claudiutigaroi@gmail.com.
When you open DiceMate, it signs you in with an anonymous account: a random ID, with no name or email attached. Everything below is linked to that account ID and used only to run the game.
| Data | What exactly | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Account ID | A random account ID. If you choose Sign in with Apple, the anonymous Apple user identifier Apple gives us for this app. We request no name and no email from Apple. | Keep your progress and online games, and bring them back on another device. |
| Profile | Username, optional display name ("Your name"), country (taken from your iPhone's region setting, editable), chosen avatar, equipped board, pieces and dice, featured achievements, account creation time and when you were last online. | Show who you are to opponents and friends, country leaderboards, the "online" dot for friends. |
| Online games | Your matches against other players: the moves, the dice of every turn, the clock, the result and how it ended. Quick-match requests, rooms you open (room name, 6-letter code, time per turn, rated or casual, and a password if you set one, stored only as a secure hash), and challenges you send or receive. | Run the game between two devices, keep the dice fair, settle timeouts and disputes. |
| Rating | Your Glicko-2 rating, deviation, rank, placement games, wins, draws, losses, starting level and rating history. | Fair matchmaking, ranks and leaderboards. |
| Progress | XP and level, Pips balance and how you earned or spent them, cosmetics you own and equip, achievements, claimed missions, Daily Roll scores (with your country). | Keep your progress safe, Shop unlocks, Daily Roll leaderboards. |
| Social | Friends and friend requests, players you block, and reports you send or that are sent about you (the reason, and a snapshot of the reported name or avatar). In-app notices such as "your turn" or "challenge received". | Friends and challenges, keeping players safe, moderation. |
| Technical data | Like every internet service, our hosting provider processes your IP address and request details (time, endpoint, app version) to deliver responses, prevent abuse and keep short security logs. | Security and reliability. Not used to identify or profile you. |
DiceMate has no chat. In games you can only send preset emotes. The only free text you can type is your username, display name and room names, which pass a name filter.
World Tour progress, puzzles, Pass & Play games, your settings and the language you chose are saved on your iPhone. A small summary (today's Daily Roll, your streak, your current match) is shared with the DiceMate widgets on the same iPhone. Some of this progress (your XP total) is also copied to your account so it is not lost. Deleting the app removes the local data.
We use your data only to provide DiceMate: online matches, ratings, leaderboards, friends, rooms, progress and cosmetics. Under the GDPR and UK GDPR, this is necessary to provide the service you asked for (Art. 6(1)(b)). Preventing cheating and abuse, handling reports and keeping security logs rely on our legitimate interest in a safe, fair game (Art. 6(1)(f)). We do not use your data for advertising, profiling or automated decisions with legal effects, and we never sell or "share" it as defined by US state privacy laws.
Opponents played by the computer, such as the World Tour champions, are always labelled AI and never pose as people.
Our backend runs on Supabase, in its West EU (Ireland) region, hosted on Amazon Web Services. Supabase processes the data on our behalf under a data processing agreement. If Supabase or its sub-processors access data from outside the European Economic Area, this is covered by the EU Standard Contractual Clauses. Data travels encrypted (HTTPS).
In the app: open Settings, scroll to the data section and tap Delete my account, then confirm. Your account, username, profile, friends, blocks, online games (including their moves), ratings, rating history, Daily Roll scores, Pips, Shop items stored with the account, achievements and notices are deleted from our servers at once and for good, and the app starts over on this iPhone.
Purchases stay with your Apple Account and can be restored. If you cannot use the app, email claudiutigaroi@gmail.com with your username and we will delete the account for you. Delete my local progress in Settings clears only what is on this iPhone.
Depending on where you live (for example in the EU, the UK, or US states such as California), you can ask us to access, correct, delete or export your data, restrict or object to its use, and withdraw consent. You can change your username, display name and country in the app at any time, and delete everything with Delete my account. For anything else, email claudiutigaroi@gmail.com; we answer within one month. You may also complain to your data-protection authority. We will never treat you differently for using these rights.
DiceMate is a general-audience board game rated 9+. It has no ads, no tracking, no chat (only preset emotes), and no loot boxes, and nothing we collect is used for marketing. We do not ask for age and do not knowingly collect more data from children than described above. If you are under the age at which you can consent on your own in your country (13 to 16 depending on the country), please ask a parent before playing online. Parents can delete a child's account in the app or by emailing us.
Data is encrypted in transit. On the server, players can read only what the game needs to show them; every change goes through checks on the server, room passwords are stored only as hashes, and the dice of online games are issued by the server so nobody can choose them. No system is perfectly secure, but we work to protect your data and will tell you and the authorities about a breach where the law requires.
If we change this policy, we will update the date at the top and, for important changes, tell you in the app. Questions or requests: claudiutigaroi@gmail.com.
