Bones — All Fives Dominoes · Last updated May 2026
Short version: Bones collects only what is necessary to run online multiplayer — a username and your game stats. We do not collect your name, email, location, or any device identifiers. No ads, no tracking, no data brokers.
Bones has two modes with different data footprints:
| Data | Why | Stored |
|---|---|---|
Apple User ID (sub) |
Uniquely identifies your account without exposing your Apple ID or email | Persistent |
| Username | Your chosen display name shown to other players | Persistent |
| Game statistics | Win/loss record, total points, win streaks, Elo rating, game history (last 20 games) | Persistent |
| Live session state | Tile positions, turn order, scores — used to run the game in real time | Temporary — deleted when game ends |
We do not collect your name, email address, phone number, location, IP address, device identifiers, advertising IDs, or any payment information.
We do not use your data for advertising, profiling, or any purpose beyond operating the game.
We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with third parties. The only data visible to other players is your username, your Elo rating, and your win/loss record on the public leaderboard.
Your game history and detailed statistics are private and only visible to you.
Bones uses the following infrastructure providers. No user data is shared with these providers beyond what is required for hosting:
We do not use advertising networks, analytics platforms, or data brokers.
Bones is rated 4+ and designed to be appropriate for all ages.
Online account creation and multiplayer features require users to confirm they are 13 years of age or older before signing in. Users under 13 may use Bones in offline mode (vs. bots) without creating an account or providing any data.
We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has created an account, please contact us at privacy@playbones.app and we will delete the account promptly.
For users in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and other regions with higher digital age of consent requirements, the same age gate applies at the applicable local minimum age.
Your account and associated statistics are retained for as long as your account is active.
To delete your account and all associated data, email us at privacy@playbones.app with the subject line "Delete my account." We will permanently delete your username, Apple User ID, and all game statistics within 30 days.
Live game session data is temporary and deleted automatically when a session ends.
Depending on where you live, you may have rights regarding your personal data:
To exercise any of these rights, contact us at privacy@playbones.app.
All data is transmitted over encrypted connections (HTTPS and WSS). Your authentication token is stored securely in your device's Keychain, not in plain storage. We do not store passwords — authentication is handled entirely by Apple.
If we make material changes to this privacy policy, we will update the "Last updated" date above. For significant changes, we will notify users within the app. Continued use of Bones after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
