HARDWOOD 88
PRIVACY POLICY
Effective November 1, 2026
Hardwood 88 ("the game", "we", "us") is a basketball franchise game for iPhone and iPad. This policy explains what information the game uses and why. The short version: you never make an account, we never ask for your name or email, and your franchise lives on your phone.
Information stored on your device
Your franchise saves (up to three slots: teams, players, settings, purchases unlocked) are stored on your device. If you are signed in to iCloud and ICLOUD BACKUP is on in the game's Settings (it is on by default), a copy of each save slot is stored in your private iCloud account so you can restore it on another device. You can turn the backup off at any time. We cannot see your iCloud data.
Information processed by services we use
| Service | What it does | What it receives |
|---|---|---|
| Google AdMob | Shows ads in the free version: one after games you play (starting with your second game) and one after every 3 games simulated in a row, never two within a minute. HARDWOOD PRO removes them. Also optional rewarded ads you choose to watch for bonus SWISH | Device and ad interaction data. The advertising identifier (IDFA) is only used if you allow tracking when iOS asks. Players in the EEA, UK and Switzerland are asked for consent first and can change it in Settings. |
| RevenueCat | Purchase and ad revenue analytics (purchases themselves are processed and restored by Apple) | An anonymous app user ID, purchase receipts from Apple, and ad reports (which ad was shown or tapped and what it earned). No payment card details: Apple handles payment. |
| TelemetryDeck | Anonymous usage statistics (for example, games played, screens opened) | Fixed event names and numbers with an anonymized, hashed device identifier. No names, emails or text you type. |
| Apple Game Center | Leaderboards and achievements, if you sign in | Your Game Center player profile and scores, under Apple's privacy policy. |
