The short version
Board Together is an offline puzzle game. It does not use sign-in accounts, analytics, ads, or cloud sync. Your scores, settings, and any boards you make stay on your device. The one exception is optional in-app purchases, which are processed by Apple after launch.
Who runs this
This game and this site are operated by Eat Chess Games ("we", "us"). If you have any privacy questions, email [email protected].
Data the app keeps locally
- Named local high scores, including the player names you type on the round-summary screen, plus lifetime totals for boards solved and games played.
- Your saved settings: timer, hearts, and board defaults; selected theme and handwriting font; sound, haptics, and accessibility preferences; and saved player names.
- Recent-board memory used to avoid repeating the same boards too soon.
- Any custom boards you create or import on the device.
- A local record of which optional in-app purchases you own, so unlocked content stays unlocked.
In-app purchases
Board Together is fully playable for free and offers optional one-time in-app purchases, such as extra board packs and a themes bundle. The core game does not require any purchase.
Purchases are processed by Apple through the App Store. We do not receive or store your name, payment-card number, or billing address; Apple handles that information under Apple's own privacy policy. To unlock purchased content and to support "Restore Purchases," the app checks your purchase history with the App Store using your Apple ID. This does not create an account with us.
Data the app does not require
- No account sign-in.
- No analytics, advertising SDKs, or remote tracking.
- No cloud save or background sync. Shared-screen co-op is played locally on one device.
- No location, contacts, photos, microphone, or camera access.
Apple App Store and the operating system
The app is distributed through the Apple App Store. Apple may collect some information about app installs, crashes, and aggregate usage independently of us as part of operating the App Store. That data is governed by Apple's own privacy policy, not this one. If you opt in to share crash and usage diagnostics with developers in iOS settings, Apple may forward anonymized crash reports to us via App Store Connect. We use those only to fix bugs.
Children
Board Together is suitable for all ages, including kids and families. Because the app does not collect personal information from anyone (child or adult), we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
Removing local data
Because the app stores progress, settings, and custom boards on your device, deleting the app removes that local data. The in-app Reset High Scores action also clears local records without a reinstall. In-app purchases are tied to your Apple ID rather than stored by us, and can be restored with Restore Purchases.

Cloudflare may log standard request information (such as IP address, request time, and user-agent string) for security and abuse-prevention purposes; that logging is governed by Cloudflare's own privacy policy. The site itself does not set advertising cookies, run third-party analytics scripts, or share information with marketers. The Google Fonts CSS is loaded from Google's CDN to render typography.
Changes to this policy
If we make material changes to how the app or site handles data, we will update this page and the "Last updated" date above. Continued use of the app or site after a change means you accept the updated policy.
