Finger Chooser

Overview

Finger Chooser is a local multiplayer party game. It runs entirely on your device and does not require an internet connection or an account. It shows no ads. It sends anonymous usage statistics, which you can turn off, and nothing else — see below.

Anonymous Usage Statistics

To understand how the app is used and what to improve, Finger Chooser sends anonymous usage statistics through Google Analytics for Firebase, a service provided by Google. This is what is sent:

• Which screen is open and for how long, and when a session starts
• When a round ends: the mode (pick, teams, or order), whether it was played with fingers or a name list, how many players and teams took part, and how many name lists you keep — the count only
• When you use the share button: whether you went through with it, and the kind of destination iOS reports (for example “save to photos”)
• General device information: model, iOS version, app version, and language
• An approximate location (country, region, or city) that Google derives from a masked IP address
• A random identifier created for this installation of the app. It is not linked to your name, an account, or your device’s advertising identifier, and it is replaced if you reinstall the app

What is never sent: the names you type, who won or lost, the result image, your contacts or photos, your precise location, or any advertising identifier. The app has no accounts, so it never knows who you are.

These statistics are used only to improve the app. They are not used for advertising and not used to track you across other apps or websites. Google keeps the underlying event data for at most 14 months.

You can turn this off. Open Settings (the gear on the first screen) and switch off “Anonymous usage statistics”. Nothing further is sent after that, and the game works exactly the same.

On-Device Storage

The app stores three things on your device. The first is how many games you have finished — it uses this to decide when to show the rating prompt below, and to avoid showing it more than necessary. The second is the name lists you create for the wheel, with the names you give them, so that the same group does not have to be entered again next time; you can remove any name or delete a whole list at any time. The third is your settings: whether sound effects and usage statistics are on.

Your name lists never leave your device, and everything stored here is deleted when you delete the app.

Sharing a Result

After a round you can share the result as an image. The image is made on your device and handed to the standard iOS share sheet; it goes only to the app or person you pick there, and we never receive it. If you played with a name list, the names on the result are part of the image. Nothing is shared unless you tap the share button.

Ratings

After you have played a few games, the app may ask iOS to display Apple's standard App Store rating prompt. The prompt is shown and handled entirely by iOS. We never learn whether it appeared, whether you rated the app, or what rating you gave.

Permissions

The app can ask for one permission, and only if you choose “Save Image” in the share sheet: permission to add the result image to your photo library. This is add-only — the app cannot see, read, or change the photos you already have. If you decline, everything else keeps working.

It does not access:

• Camera or microphone
• Location
• Contacts
• Your existing photos
• Any other sensitive data

The game works fully offline. When a connection is available, the app uses it only to send the anonymous statistics described above.

Third-Party Services

The only third-party service in the app is Google Analytics for Firebase, used for the anonymous statistics described above. Google processes that data under its own terms; see How Google uses information from apps that use its services. The app contains no advertising SDKs and no crash reporting tools.

Children's Privacy

Finger Chooser is a general-audience app and is not directed at children. It has no accounts, shows no ads, and never asks for a name, an email address, or any other contact detail. The anonymous statistics described above are used only to understand and improve the app, and they can be turned off in Settings.

Changes to This Policy

If this policy is ever updated, the new version will be posted at this URL. Continued use of the app after any changes constitutes acceptance.
