Classic Games
Privacy Policy
Last updated: September 1, 2026
Your privacy matters to us. This policy explains how Classic Games handles your information. In short: your records and statistics stay on your device, the app shows ads through Google AdMob, which may collect your device's Advertising ID to serve those ads, and — only if you sign in to Google Play Games — your achievements are saved to your Play Games profile and your scores are ranked on public leaderboards under your Play Games display name. Notifications are optional: the reminders are worked out on your device, and only the announcements about new versions use Google's messaging service.
01. Information We Collect
Classic Games does not collect any personally identifiable information itself. Your game data is stored locally on your device, and the app displays ads through Google AdMob, which collects certain data to serve those ads.
Data stored locally on your device:
- Game records and high scores
- Gameplay statistics, such as games played, wins and streaks
- Your in-app preferences, such as language and settings
This locally stored data stays on your device. The one exception is the leaderboards: if you are signed in to Google Play Games, your scores in the games that have a leaderboard are also sent to Google, as described below.
Data collected by Google AdMob to serve ads:
- Your device's Advertising ID
- General device information, such as device type and operating system
- Data used to deliver, personalize, and measure ads
This advertising data is collected and processed by Google, as described in the Advertising section below.
Data handled through Google Play Games, if you are signed in:
- Your Play Games player ID
- The achievements you have unlocked and your progress towards the rest
- Your scores in the games that have a leaderboard
- The public Play Games display name shown beside a score on a leaderboard — yours, and those of the other players on the same board
This data is handled by Google, as described in the Google Play Games section below. If you are not signed in, none of it applies.
Data used to send notifications, if you have them turned on:
- A Firebase Cloud Messaging registration token, an identifier Google generates for this particular installation of the app
- The language you have chosen in the app, so that an announcement reaches you in that language
This is used only to deliver the app's own announcements about new versions and new games, as described in the Notifications section below. The reminders the app sends are worked out on your device and involve none of it.
02. How We Use Your Information
The data stored on your device is used only to:
- Save your progress and high scores between sessions
- Show your statistics inside the app
- Remember your preferences and improve your experience
Advertising data is used by Google AdMob and its partners to display and measure the ads shown in the app, as described in the Advertising section below.
If you are signed in to Google Play Games, your achievement unlocks and progress are sent to Google so they can be saved to your Play Games profile and shown to you across your devices. Your scores are sent for the same reason, so that they can be ranked on the leaderboard for that game and shown to you and to other players.
Notifications are used to remind you when a streak is about to end, to invite you back after time away, and to tell you when a new version or a new game is available. The reminders are decided on your device; only the announcements involve Google, as described in the Notifications section below.
03. Advertising
Classic Games displays ads provided by Google AdMob. To show ads, Google's advertising services may collect and process data including your device's Advertising ID and general device information. This data may be shared with advertising partners to deliver, personalize, and measure ads.
For users in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and applicable US states, we present a consent request that lets you choose whether your data is used for personalized advertising. You can change your choice at any time from the app's privacy settings.
You can learn more about how Google uses this data at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites. You can also reset or limit your Advertising ID from your device settings under Google › Ads.
04. Google Play Games
Classic Games uses Google Play Games Services to save your achievements to your Play Games profile and to rank your scores on leaderboards. Signing in is optional: the app is fully playable signed out, every record and statistic is kept on your device either way, and no achievement or score data is sent anywhere until you are signed in.
You may be signed in automatically if you have already enabled that for Google Play Games on your device. You can also sign in yourself from the app's Settings screen. While you are signed in, the app sends your achievement unlocks, progress and scores to Google, and Google identifies you to us by your Play Games player ID. We do not receive your email address or your Google account password.
Leaderboards are public by design. When you submit a score, the public display name on your Play Games profile — the one you chose for Play Games, not your Google account name — is shown next to it on that board, to anyone who looks at it, inside this app and in Google's own Play Games screens. The app also shows you the display names and scores of the other players on the board. We do not store any of those names: they are read from Google each time a board is opened and are gone when you leave the screen.
Signing out is handled by Google rather than by us: you can manage or disable Play Games sign-in, and delete your Play Games data, from the Google Play Games app or from your Google account. Google's handling of this data is covered by the Google Privacy Policy.
05. Notifications
Classic Games sends two kinds of notification, and they work differently.
Reminders — that a streak is about to end, or that it has been a while since you played — are worked out entirely on your device, from the records already stored there. Nothing is sent anywhere to produce them and they work with the app offline.
Announcements about new versions and new games are sent by us through Google's Firebase Cloud Messaging service. For that to be possible, Google generates a registration token identifying this installation of the app, and the app tells Firebase which language you have chosen so that an announcement reaches you in that language. The token identifies an installation, not you: we do not use it to build a profile or to track what you do in the app, and it is never shared with advertisers or any other third party.
Notifications are optional. Turning them off in the app's Settings screen also unsubscribes this installation from announcements, so nothing further is sent to it. You can also turn them off in your device's notification settings for Classic Games, and uninstalling the app invalidates the token.
06. Data Sharing
We do not sell or rent your personal data. Your statistics and preferences are never uploaded or transferred. Advertising identifiers and related device data are shared with Google AdMob and its advertising partners solely to display and measure ads, as described in the Advertising section. Achievement and score data is sent only to Google, as the provider of Play Games Services, and only while you are signed in; it is not shared with advertisers or any other third party. The notification token is likewise handled only by Google, as the provider of Firebase Cloud Messaging, and only to deliver the app's own announcements.
One part of this is visible to other people, and only one: a score you submit to a leaderboard, and the Play Games display name shown beside it, can be seen by anyone else looking at that board. Nothing else you do in the app is visible to anyone, and playing signed out puts nothing on a leaderboard at all.
07. Data Storage & Security
Classic Games does not request access to your files or other sensitive information, and the only account it can connect to is your Google Play Games profile, with your permission. Your records and statistics stay on your device, and their safety is tied to the security of the device itself. Advertising, achievement, leaderboard and notification data are transmitted over encrypted (HTTPS) connections to Google's services.
08. Your Choices
You are always in control of your data. You can view or reset your statistics and preferences directly within the app at any time, and uninstalling Classic Games permanently removes all locally stored data. You can also manage your advertising consent from the app's privacy settings, and reset or limit your Advertising ID in your device settings. Play Games sign-in is optional and can be managed or turned off at any time from the Google Play Games app; playing signed out costs you nothing but the achievements and a place on the leaderboards. Scores already on a leaderboard are held by Google, and you can remove them by deleting your Play Games data for this game from the Google Play Games app or your Google account. Notifications are optional too, and can be turned off from the app's Settings screen or from your device's notification settings.
09. Cookies & Tracking
Classic Games does not use cookies. However, Google AdMob may use device identifiers such as the Advertising ID to serve and measure ads, as described in the Advertising section.
10. Children's Privacy
Classic Games is intended for a general audience and is not primarily directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. Ads are provided by Google AdMob under its policies.
11. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be published on this page and, when relevant, announced within the app. Continued use of Classic Games after an update takes effect means you accept the revised policy.
