Secoscha – Tik Tak Toe (the “App”) is a free entertainment game by FILYNX (EU) set in a mystical dreamworld where players compete in strategic Tic-Tac-Toe matches.
We aim to collect as little data as possible. No account is required.
Who we are
Publisher/Data Controller: FILYNX (EU)
Contact: support@filynx.eu
What we collect (and what we don’t)
We do NOT ask for or require:
- Your name, email, phone number, address
- A user account or profile
- Contacts, photos, microphone recordings, or precise location
- Cloud storage or backup of your game data
However, the App uses third-party SDKs for advertising and analytics, which may process limited device and usage data (see Section 4).
Data processed automatically
Depending on device settings and local laws, the App and its third-party partners may process:
- App activity (e.g., screen views, game sessions, feature usage, match outcomes)
- Device information (e.g., device model, OS version, language/region, screen size, device identifiers)
- Identifiers (e.g., app-instance identifiers; advertising identifiers where available)
- Approximate location (typically inferred from IP address for ad delivery, localization, and fraud prevention)
- Network information (e.g., carrier, connection type)
Important: We do not try to identify you as a person. But some identifiers can still be considered “personal data” under privacy laws because they relate to a device.
Local data storage
The App stores certain data locally on your device for gameplay functionality:
- Game settings (audio, haptic preferences)
- Match history (up to 100 recent games, including: date/time, game mode, results, selected avatars, AI difficulty)
- Audio preferences (music, sound effects, voicelines on/off)
This local data:
- Stays on your device only
- Is NOT uploaded to our servers or any cloud service
- Is NOT shared with third parties
- Can be deleted by clearing the App’s data in your device settings
Third-party services we use
A) Advertising (Start.io)
We show ads to keep the App free. The App integrates the Start.io SDK to display advertisements.
Start.io may collect and process:
- Device identifiers (including Advertising ID / IDFA where available)
- Device information (model, OS version, screen size)
- IP address (for approximate location and fraud prevention)
- App usage data (impressions, clicks, interactions with ads)
- Network and carrier information
Start.io uses this data to:
- Deliver relevant ads
- Measure ad performance
- Prevent fraud and abuse
- Improve their advertising services
Important notes:
- Start.io serves personalized and non-personalized ads depending on your consent choices and regional requirements
- In regions requiring consent (EEA/UK/Switzerland), we show a consent dialog before ads are served
- You can manage your ad preferences through your device settings (see “Your choices and controls” below)
Start.io Privacy Policy: https://www.start.io/policy/privacy-policy/
B) Analytics (Google Analytics for Firebase)
We use Firebase Analytics to understand how the App is used (in aggregate) and improve stability and user experience. By default, Firebase SDKs may collect installation/app-instance identifiers and may collect advertising identifiers where available.
Google Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy
Google advertising technologies: https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads
Tracking (Apple ATT)
On iOS 14.5+, apps must request permission before tracking users across other companies’ apps and websites for targeted advertising (AppTrackingTransparency).
- If you grant tracking permission, the App may share your device’s Advertising Identifier (IDFA) with Start.io for personalized advertising
- If you deny tracking permission, Start.io will not receive your IDFA and will serve non-personalized ads (or limited ads)
You can change this permission anytime in iOS Settings > Privacy & Security > Tracking.
Legal bases (EEA/UK)
Where GDPR/UK GDPR applies, we rely on:
- Consent: when legally required for advertising identifiers/cookies and personalized advertising (collected via consent dialog)
- Legitimate interests: basic app analytics, security, fraud prevention, and service improvement (where permitted)
Data retention
- FILYNX does not maintain a user database for Secoscha.
- Local game data (match history, settings) remains on your device until you delete the App or clear its data.
- Analytics/ads data may be retained by Google and Start.io according to their respective platform retention policies and controls.
- If you email support, we keep that correspondence as long as needed to handle your request and basic recordkeeping (typically up to 12 months).

EEA/UK/Switzerland Users:

Children
The App is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13.
Parents/guardians: If you believe your child has provided information to the App, contact us at support@filynx.eu and we will assist.
International transfers
Our third-party providers (Start.io, Google) may process data on servers outside your country (including the U.S. and Israel). Where required, appropriate safeguards are used.
Security
We use reasonable safeguards to protect data, but no system is perfectly secure. Since game data is stored locally on your device, device security settings (screen lock, encryption) help protect that data.
Changes to this Policy
We may update this Policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top will change. Continued use of the App after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated Policy.
Your rights (GDPR/UK GDPR)
If you are in the EEA/UK, you may have rights to:
- Access your personal data
- Correct inaccurate data
- Request deletion of your data
- Object to or restrict processing
- Withdraw consent (where processing is based on consent)
To exercise these rights regarding data we control, contact support@filynx.eu.
For data processed by third-party providers (Start.io, Google), refer to their privacy policies and controls.
