Qedexe Privacy Policy

Qedexe (“the App”) is a Kurdish (Kurmancî) word-guessing party game. This policy explains what data the App handles, including the difference between local gameplay storage and technical metadata in an Expo update request.

1. Data we store on your device

The App stores the following information locally on your device using local storage (AsyncStorage). Android backup is disabled for this app; iOS device-backup behavior is controlled by Apple and your device settings:

• Game settings (language, dark mode, sound, vibration, timers, categories, content pack)
• Team names and colors you configure
• Custom cards you create
• Recent game history and statistics (limited to the last 20 games)

The App does not upload this game data to its own servers. It can leave the device if you explicitly use the system Share sheet, or if the operating system includes app data in a platform-managed backup.

2. Data we do not collect

• No account or login
• No advertising identifiers for ads
• No analytics SDKs that track personal behavior
• No contacts, photos, camera, or location access
• No microphone access — the app plays bundled sound files only and declares no microphone permission on either platform
• No sale of personal data

3. Network use

The App can connect to Expo’s update service (EAS Updates, operated by Expo / 650 Industries, Inc.) on launch to check for over-the-air app updates. Expo documents that an update request can include your IP address, operating-system, app and project information, plus a randomized installation identifier or token. Expo is a service provider/processor for that update path. No game content, settings, team names or custom cards are uploaded by the App; those remain in local AsyncStorage unless you explicitly use the system Share sheet or a platform-managed backup.

4. Audio and haptics

Sound effects are played from local asset files. Vibration uses the device haptics API. Neither records audio nor transmits it.

5. Children

Qedexe is a party word game suitable for general audiences. It does not knowingly collect personal information from children. Parents can disable sound/vibration and use Family mode / Family content pack for safer vocabulary filters.

6. Your choices

• Clear game history from inside the App
• Uninstall the App to remove all locally stored data
• Turn sound and vibration off in settings

7. Third-party services

• Expo / EAS — app builds and optional OTA updates
• Apple App Store / Google Play — distribution; their privacy policies apply to store accounts and payments

8. Changes

We may update this policy when the App changes. The “Last updated” date at the top will change accordingly.
