FACEOFF

PRIVACY

Last updated October 20, 2026

THE SHORT VERSION
FACEOFF has no accounts, no ads and no tracking for advertising. Your franchise is saved on your phone. While the game is in testing it can send anonymous gameplay data to help us tune it, and you can turn that off in the menu at any time.

WHO WE ARE

FACEOFF is a single-player hockey GM game for iOS and Android made by an independent developer. Questions about this policy go to hello@faceoffhockeygame.com.

WHAT STAYS ON YOUR PHONE

Your saves, settings and the RECORD RUNS history (the decisions in your franchise, kept so a bug can be replayed) are stored only on your device. They are not sent anywhere unless one of the cases below applies. Deleting the app deletes them.

PLAYTEST DATA (OPTIONAL)

With SHARING PLAYTEST DATA on (the menu's PLAYTEST card), the game sends gameplay events to our playtest server:

  • What you do in the game: screens opened, games simmed, trades, lineup changes, signings, season results and similar events, with the franchise's seed, mode, season and day.
  • A random install ID created by the game. It is not an advertising ID and is not linked to your name, account or device identifiers.
  • Technical details: app version, device model, operating system and version, and screen size.

Turn SHARING PLAYTEST DATA off to stop all of these uploads, including the crash reports below.

RUN UPLOADS AND CRASH REPORTS

If you tap UPLOAD RUN, the game sends a copy of your current franchise: the save file, its recorded decisions, recent gameplay events and the note you type, if any. While playtest sharing is on, the game can also send this automatically after a crash or error, with the error message (at most a few times a day). We use these only to reproduce and fix bugs.

WHAT WE DO NOT COLLECT

No names, email addresses, accounts, contacts, photos, location, advertising IDs or payment information. There are no ads and no third-party analytics or advertising SDKs in the game.

HOW IT IS USED AND SHARED

Data is used only to balance the game and fix bugs. It is sent over HTTPS and stored on our playtest server, which runs on hosting and storage providers that process it on our behalf. We do not sell it or share it with anyone else.

DELETION AND YOUR CHOICES

Turning sharing off stops new uploads but does not erase what was already sent. To have it deleted, email hello@faceoffhockeygame.com. Uploads are not tied to your identity, so include the run code shown after an upload (SENT - RUN ...) if you have one, or tell us roughly when you played and on what device. We keep playtest data only as long as it is useful for developing the game.

CHILDREN

FACEOFF is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.

CHANGES

If this policy changes, we will update it here and change the date at the top.
