2x History — Privacy Policy

1. Overview

2x History is a daily history game. It is designed to work without creating an account. Puzzle content is bundled on your device. Most game data stays on your device. We collect limited information to operate the App, process purchases, and understand how the App is used.

By using 2x History, you agree to this Privacy Policy.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Information stored on your device

The App stores game-related data locally on your device (in an on-device database), including:

This data is not uploaded to our servers unless you choose to share it (for example, by using the share feature). Historical articles and quotes used in the game are shipped with the App and are not fetched from a first-party backend.

2.2 Anonymous identifier

When you first open the App, we generate a random anonymous identifier (UUID) and store it on your device. We use this identifier to:

This identifier is not your name, email, or phone number, and we do not require you to sign in.

2.3 Usage analytics

We use Amplitude to collect analytics about how the App is used. This may include:

Analytics are tied to your anonymous identifier. Gameplay events may include puzzle identifiers, your choices, guessed years, and scores. We do not intentionally collect your name, email address, or precise location through analytics.

In development/debug builds, analytics may be disabled or logged locally only.

2.4 Purchases and subscriptions

Purchases are processed by Apple App Store or Google Play, not directly by us. We use RevenueCat to manage entitlements and purchase status.

RevenueCat and the app stores may receive:

Payment card and billing details are handled by Apple or Google according to their policies. We do not receive your full payment card number.

Our paid product:

Product Type What it unlocks
2x Pro In-app purchase (as shown in the App) The full archive of past daily puzzles (beyond today and yesterday, which are free)

Actual prices and whether Pro is a one-time purchase or a subscription are shown in the App and may vary by region, currency, and store.

2.5 Information you choose to share

If you use the share feature, you choose what to send through your device’s share sheet (for example, Messages, email, or social apps). We do not receive the contents of those shares unless you contact us directly.

If you contact support by email, we receive whatever information you include in your message.

The App may open third-party websites from links in “Read more” articles and related content, using an in-app browser. Those sites have their own privacy policies. We are not responsible for their practices.

2.7 Information we do not collect

2x History does not:

Some device permissions may appear because of platform or third-party libraries (for example, internet access for purchases, analytics, fonts, and opening links). The App’s core gameplay does not require access to your contacts.

3. How We Use Information

We use the information described above to:

We do not sell your personal information.

If you are in the European Economic Area or United Kingdom, we process personal data on these bases:

Purpose Legal basis
Providing the App and local save data Performance of a contract / legitimate interests
Analytics Legitimate interests (App improvement)
Purchases and entitlement management Performance of a contract
Support communications Legitimate interests / consent where applicable
Legal compliance Legal obligation

You may object to processing based on legitimate interests where applicable under local law.

5. Data Retention

6. Your Choices and Rights

Delete local data

You can delete your on-device game data from Settings → Delete local data in the App. This removes puzzle progress, collected facts and quotes, streaks, settings (including your sensitive-content preference), and the locally stored anonymous identifier. This action cannot be undone.

Deleting local data does not automatically cancel an active subscription or revoke a store purchase. Manage subscriptions through the App Store or Google Play.

Restore purchases

You can restore previous purchases from the paywall or your device’s App Store / Google Play account settings.

Sensitive content

Some historical articles and quotes may include mature or upsetting material. You can choose whether to show this content in Settings, or confirm access when it appears. This preference is stored on your device.

Analytics opt-out

Depending on your platform and region, you may limit ad/analytics tracking through your device settings (for example, Limit Ad Tracking on iOS or Opt out of Ads Personalization on Android). Amplitude analytics in 2x History are used for product analytics, not advertising profiles, but platform controls may still affect some data collection by SDKs.

Privacy rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict processing of personal data, or to data portability. To exercise these rights, contact us at info@marioiannotta.com.

We will respond within the time required by applicable law.

7. Children’s Privacy

2x History is not directed at children under 13 (or the minimum age required in your country). Some in-App historical content is intended for ages 16 and older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us personal information, contact us and we will take appropriate steps to delete it.

8. International Transfers

Our service providers (including Amplitude, RevenueCat, and Google Fonts) may process data in countries other than your own, including the United States. Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as standard contractual clauses.

9. Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information processed through the App and our providers. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure.

Because most gameplay data stays on your device, you are responsible for securing your device.

11. Changes to This Privacy Policy

Continued use of the App after changes become effective means you accept the updated policy.
