Naija Game Night Privacy Policy

Effective October 5, 2026

This policy explains what the Naija Game Night app for iPhone, iPad and Android (the "App") collects, why, and the choices you have. The App is published by Sabi Apps, based in the United States ("we", "us"). Our general Privacy Policy covers our websites.

The short version

You can play against the computer or pass and play without an account. That information stays on your phone.
If you play online, we keep a game account: a random ID, the display name you choose, your ratings and your games.
We never ask for your email address, phone number, contacts, location or photos.
Free players see ads from Google AdMob between matches. Patrons see none.
We don't sell your personal information. You can delete your online account in the App at any time.

1. Information stored only on your phone

Your settings, house rules, coins, unlocked looks and purchase status are saved on your device. We can't see them unless you play online (see section 2, "Coin backup").

2. Online play

When you open Play online, the App connects to our game server (play.sabiapps.com) and creates a game account. We collect:

Account ID and sign-in token: random values that identify your game account. We store only a scrambled (hashed) copy of the token.
Display name: the name you choose (or a "Player 1234" name we give you). Other players see it.
Games: the games you play, every move, results, ratings, private-table codes, and when your turns are due. Opponents see the moves and results of games they played with you.
Sign in with Apple or Google (optional): only the stable user ID Apple or Google gives us for this App, so your account can follow you to a new phone. We don't request or store your email address. If you share your first name, we may use it as your display name, which you can change.
Notifications (optional): if you allow them, a push token so we can tell you when it's your move or a game has started. These are delivered through Expo's push service and Apple or Google's notification services.
Coin backup: your coin balance, daily-gift date and the looks you bought with coins, so they come back if you reinstall.
Reports and blocks: if you report a display name or block a player, we keep a record of it.
Technical data: your device platform (iOS or Android), App version and, in our web server logs, your IP address. We use these to run and secure the service and keep logs only for a short time.

3. Purchases

Purchases are processed by Apple or Google. We never see your card or bank details. We use RevenueCat, a purchase-management service, to confirm purchases and restore them; it receives the purchase receipt from Apple or Google and an anonymous app user ID. See RevenueCat's privacy policy.

4. Advertising (Google AdMob)

If you aren't a Patron, the App shows a short ad between some matches and offers optional videos for extra hints and undos. Ads are provided by Google AdMob, which may collect your device's advertising identifier, IP address, device and app information, and how you interact with ads, to show ads, limit how often you see them, measure them and prevent fraud.

iPhone and iPad: the App asks for permission before ads can use your advertising identifier to track you across other companies' apps (App Tracking Transparency). If you say no, ads are not personalised with that identifier.
EEA, UK and Switzerland: the App asks for your consent through Google's consent form before personalised ads are shown. You can change your choice any time from Patron, looks and coins → Ad privacy choices.
Android: you can reset or delete your advertising ID in your phone's settings.

See how Google uses information from apps that use its services.

5. How we use information

To run online games: matchmaking, ratings, turn timers, private tables and notifications.
To keep the service fair and safe: checking every move, handling reports, and stopping abuse.
To restore purchases, coins and looks.
To show ads to free players, as described above.
To fix problems and improve the App.

Where the EU or UK GDPR applies, our legal bases are performing our agreement with you (providing online play and purchases), our legitimate interests (security, fair play and improving the App), and your consent (personalised ads and notifications).

6. Sharing

We share information only with the service providers that run parts of the App for us (our hosting provider, Expo for push notifications, RevenueCat for purchases, Google for ads, and Apple or Google for sign-in), with other players as described above (your display name, rating and games), or when the law requires it. We don't sell personal information. The App does not include chat.

7. How long we keep it

We keep your online account while you use it. Finished games are kept so players can see their history and ratings. If you delete your account, we delete your account, ratings, sign-in links, push token and coin backup, resign your games in progress, and replace your name with "Deleted player" in past games your opponents still see. Reports are kept for up to a year.

8. Deleting your account and data

In the App: open Play online → Name and account → Delete my online account. Deletion happens at once.

Without the App: email privacy@sabiapps.com with your display name. We'll confirm and delete the account within 30 days.

Uninstalling the App removes everything stored only on your phone.

9. Your rights

Depending on where you live (for example under the GDPR, the UK GDPR, the California Consumer Privacy Act or Nigeria's Data Protection Act), you may have the right to access, correct, delete or receive a copy of your information, to object to or restrict some uses, and to withdraw consent. Email privacy@sabiapps.com. You can also complain to your local data protection authority.

10. Children

The App is suitable for all ages but is not directed at children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect personal information from them. If you think a child under 13 has created an online account, email us and we'll delete it.

11. Security and where data is stored

Connections to our game server are encrypted (HTTPS/TLS). Sign-in tokens are stored hashed. Our server is hosted by a commercial hosting provider, and our service providers may process data in the United States and other countries, with safeguards required by law.

12. Changes

If we change this policy, we'll update the effective date above, and for significant changes we'll tell you in the App.
