Ringo

Privacy Policy

Effective date: 19 October 2026

Ringo is a water-ring game by Hassan Javed / FromHaz. Core play works offline, with no advertising or analytics SDKs.

Progress and preferences on your device

Ringo stores stars, best results, completed Quick Set rounds, recent play choices and settings locally using Apple’s on-device preferences storage. It does not provide a custom account or cloud-sync service. Device backups are controlled by your Apple settings.

You can reset saved game progress in Ringo’s Settings. This keeps your sound, haptic, motion and arena preferences. Deleting the app removes its local app data; a device backup may retain an earlier copy under Apple’s backup controls.

Optional motion input

Tilt & shake is off by default. If enabled, device motion is processed on your device to steer or jostle hoops. Ringo does not upload motion samples or record a motion history. Turn this feature off in Settings to stop its gameplay use.

Optional Game Center

Ringo includes an optional Daily Tide leaderboard in builds where the service is enabled. Core modes and the local Daily Tide best do not require it. If you choose to connect, Apple’s Game Center handles authentication, leaderboard scores and player-profile information. Ringo submits your completed Daily Tide best score and displays leaderboard entries, which can include Game Center display names and ranks.

This information is processed through Apple’s service, rather than a custom FromHaz server. You can manage Game Center through your device’s settings. Apple controls the retention and deletion of Game Center records; resetting local Ringo progress does not delete an Apple-held leaderboard record. See Apple’s Game Center privacy information.

Ringo Pro purchases

The first 30 Classic tides are free. Ringo Pro is an optional one-time purchase that unlocks all 2,000 Classic tides. Apple handles payment, purchase history and offer-code redemption through the App Store. Ringo checks Apple-verified transactions on your device to determine Pro access and restore purchases. We do not receive your payment-card details or operate a purchase-account server.

Resetting game progress does not cancel a purchase. You can restore Ringo Pro in Settings using the Apple Account that made the purchase. Apple manages purchase records and refund requests under its policies. See Apple’s App Store privacy information.

Advertising, tracking and permissions

Ringo does not include ads, tracking, third-party analytics or a custom account system. It does not request access to your contacts, location, photos, microphone or camera for gameplay. Sound and haptics are generated or played locally.

Support messages and this website

If you email support, the email address and information you choose to send are used to respond and investigate your request. Do not send passwords or sensitive information. Support correspondence is retained while needed to handle the request and related follow-up; you can ask for deletion by emailing the address below, subject to any applicable record-keeping obligations.

These policy and support pages are hosted on GitHub Pages. Visiting them sends ordinary web-request information to GitHub. We do not add analytics or advertising scripts to these pages. See GitHub’s privacy statement for its hosting practices.

Children and changes

The offline game does not ask players for personal information. Optional Game Center is subject to Apple’s account and parental controls. If Ringo’s data practices change, this page will be updated with a new effective date.
