ETX Arcade Privacy Policy

The short version

ETX Arcade doesn't have accounts, doesn't collect personal information, doesn't run ads or third-party analytics, and doesn't process any real money. Your progress lives on your own device. The only outside service involved is Apple's own Game Center, which you can opt into or skip entirely.

1. Overview

This Privacy Policy describes how ETX Labs ("we," "us," "our") handles information in connection with the ETX Arcade mobile app (the "App"). By downloading or using the App, you agree to the practices described here.

We built ETX Arcade to be playable without ever asking who you are. There's no sign-up screen, no email field, and no account tied to a real-world identity anywhere in the App.

2. Information we don't collect

ETX Labs does not collect, receive, or have access to:

Your name, email address, phone number, or physical address
Payment or financial information of any kind
Your device's precise location
Photos, contacts, or other personal files on your device
Advertising identifiers, the App shows no ads and includes no ad SDKs

There is no in-app purchase system, no real-money wagering, and no way for the App to move money in or out of your device in any form.

3. Information stored on your device

To make the App work, a small amount of gameplay data is saved locally on your device only, it never leaves your phone unless you choose to share it (for example, by sending a Gift Points code to a friend, which contains no personal information, only an encoded Points amount):

Your level, XP, and Points balance
Per-game high scores, play counts, and win/loss history
Unlocked achievements, your login streak, and daily-challenge progress
Shop purchases and cosmetic selections (colors, palettes, avatars, titles)
Any custom accent color you pick, and any custom bet amounts you've typed

Uninstalling the App deletes all of this data permanently, since it exists only in the App's local storage — we don't keep a copy anywhere else.

4. Game Center

ETX Arcade optionally connects to Apple's Game Center to offer real, cross-device leaderboards. Signing in to Game Center is entirely your choice, every part of the App works without it, aside from the global leaderboard views themselves.

When you sign in, Game Center authentication and any scores the App submits (your per-game high scores and your all-time peak Points balance) are handled directly by Apple, under Apple's own privacy terms — not ours. ETX Labs never sees your Apple ID, your real name, or any other Game Center account details; we only ever see the numeric score value the App itself already tracks. You can review Apple's Game Center privacy practices at apple.com/legal/privacy, and you can sign out of Game Center at any time from your device's Settings app.

5. Children's privacy

Because ETX Arcade collects no personal information from anyone, it does not knowingly collect personal information from children. That said, the App includes simulated wagering mechanics (Points-based games with no real-world value), so it is rated for a general audience per Apple's own Age Rating guidelines rather than marketed specifically to children. Parents with questions about age-appropriateness should refer to the App's listed age rating on the App Store.

We don't sell, rent, or share your information with advertisers, data brokers, or any other third party, there is nothing of that kind to share in the first place. The only outside party involved in running the App at all is Apple, through standard App Store distribution and the optional Game Center feature described above.

7. Data security

Since gameplay data is stored locally on your own device rather than on a server we operate, it's protected by the same security measures, passcode, biometric lock, disk encryption, that protect the rest of your device. We don't operate a backend that could be breached, because we don't operate a backend at all.

8. Your choices

Because everything lives on your device, you're always in full control of it:

Reset or clear your progress by deleting and reinstalling the App
Skip or disable Game Center at any time from iOS Settings
Decline to send or redeem Points gift codes

9. Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, for example, if a future update introduces a new feature that touches privacy, we'll update the effective date at the top of this page and, for any material change, call it out in the App's "What's New" release notes.
