Royal Move

Privacy Policy

Updated October 21, 2026

Royal Move is designed to work without an internet connection. We do not collect your personal data on our servers, sell it, or use advertising or analytics services. Nearby play shares game information directly with the player you connect to, as described below.

Information stored on your device

Game progress, completed-game statistics, preferences, and optional player names are stored locally on your device. This information is not sent to us and can be removed by deleting the app. Statistics can also be reset inside the app.

Nearby play (version 1.1 and later)

When you open Nearby device, Royal Move advertises a temporary random room code to nearby players. After both players accept the connection, the devices exchange optional player names, game settings, moves, clocks, and results directly through Apple’s encrypted Multipeer Connectivity framework. This information is not sent to us or to a game server. The other player can see the shared information and may save or share the game using PGN export. Your purchases and purchase receipts are not shared with the other device.

Local Network access is used only for nearby discovery and play. Same-device and computer games do not require it. Unfinished nearby sessions end when the connection is lost or an app goes into the background; your saved solo game is kept. Confirmed completed-game statistics remain on each device.

Purchases

Royal Move Plus purchases are processed by Apple through the App Store. We receive only the entitlement status needed to unlock purchased features. Apple handles payment and account information under its own privacy policy.

Children’s privacy

Royal Move does not knowingly collect personal information from children or any other users.

Changes

If Royal Move’s data practices change, this policy and the App Store privacy disclosure will be updated before the change is released.
