Privacy Policy

Information Stored on Your Device

Faro does not require an account and does not include advertising, in-app analytics, or tracking. The developer does not receive your saved games or sell your personal information.

The app stores the information needed to continue your game locally on your device:

Your current session, fictional chip balance, bets, shuffled deck, position in the round, and that round’s results.
Your sound, haptic, and layout preferences.
A local SQLite record that remembers whether the introductory How to Play offer has been shown.

Faro does not use a developer-operated gameplay server or synchronize games through CloudKit. Your device’s backup services may include app data according to your Apple settings. Backups are managed by Apple and are subject to Apple’s Privacy Policy.

Optional Other Apps Screen

When you open Other Apps in Settings, Faro downloads a developer-authored app catalog from https://rlziii.com/projects/other-apps.json. The request does not include your saved game, chip balance, bets, preferences, contact information, or a user identifier generated by Faro. As with ordinary web requests, the hosting provider may process network information such as your IP address, request time, and user-agent information to deliver and protect the service.

Faro then sends the catalog’s App Store identifiers to Apple’s iTunes Lookup service and downloads app-icon artwork from Apple’s content-delivery network. Opening another app’s App Store page also uses Apple’s services, which are subject to Apple’s Privacy Policy.

These requests are not used by Faro for advertising, analytics, or tracking and are not linked to your game. You can avoid them by not opening Other Apps. If the catalog or Apple services are unavailable, you can still play Faro offline.

Website Links and Support Email

Opening a website link in Faro takes you to your browser. This support website uses Cloudflare Web Analytics to understand page visits and website performance. This website measurement is separate from the Faro app and does not receive your saved game. Cloudflare’s handling of information is described in its Privacy Policy.

If you email support, the developer receives your email address and the information you choose to include. That correspondence is used to respond to your request and is retained as needed to provide support, resolve issues, or meet applicable legal obligations. Please avoid sending sensitive information that is not needed for your request. You can use the support address to request deletion of your correspondence, subject to any necessary legal retention.

Data Retention and Control

Your current game and preferences remain on your device so Faro can restore them between launches. Starting a New Game replaces the saved game and resets its chip balance. This does not reset your preferences or record of the introductory How to Play offer. You can change sound, haptic, and layout preferences in Settings.

Deleting Faro from the device removes that installation’s local app data. Offloading the app preserves its data. Copies in device backups are controlled through Apple’s backup settings and may be restored with a backup. The developer cannot access or remotely delete your local saved game or Apple-managed backups.

Network providers manage their operational records under their own policies; deleting Faro does not delete provider records or support emails you have sent.
