Chable Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2026-05-27

This Privacy Policy explains how Chable collects, uses, shares, and protects information when you use the Chable mobile app and related services.

Chable is an entertainment game where players scan real-world places, acquire virtual businesses, build a virtual company, compare rankings, and interact with game systems such as action charges, referrals, rewarded ads, and hostile takeovers. In-game assets are virtual only and do not represent real-world ownership.

1. Information We Collect

Account Information

Email address and authentication data used to create, verify, and access your account. Authentication is handled by Firebase Authentication.
Account status information such as account creation date, email verification status, role, ban status, referral code, accepted Terms of Use timestamp, and related security/account metadata.
Guest session information if you use the app before creating or signing into an account.

Gameplay and Profile Data

Company profile details such as company name, motto, selected region, optional company logo, and related settings.
Gameplay state such as cash balance, net worth, action charges, scan inventory, business acquisitions, portfolio records, chain names, takeover data, daily results, leaderboard/ranking data, rewards, referrals, tutorial progress, and transaction/history records.
Administrative and moderation records used to operate the game, support users, investigate abuse, and maintain official business datasets.

Location and Place Data

Device location when you choose to scan for nearby businesses or use location-based discovery.
Chable uses location to request nearby place/business information from third-party map and place services, including OpenStreetMap/Overpass-related services.
Chable does not continuously track your location in the background. We use location when needed for app features you initiate or permit.
We may store gameplay results derived from scans, such as matched business listings, acquired virtual businesses, business names, categories, coordinates, region data, and related economic data.

User Content and Uploaded Media

Company logos and other user-provided content that you choose to upload or enter.
Content may be stored using Firebase Storage and may be reviewed or moderated to enforce app rules, respond to support requests, or protect the service.

Chable may show ads, including rewarded ads that can grant virtual in-game benefits after successful completion.

Advertising partners and related SDKs may process information such as:

Advertising identifiers and device identifiers.
IP address, app version, device model, operating system, language, and general location inferred from network data.
Ad requests, impressions, clicks, completion events, reward confirmation, diagnostics, and fraud-prevention signals.
Consent choices and privacy settings where applicable.

Chable uses Google AdMob and may use mediation partners such as Meta Audience Network and Unity Ads. We use Google’s User Messaging Platform where required to request and manage advertising consent choices. You may see privacy choice controls in the app when required for your region or configuration.

Technical, Security, and Diagnostic Data

App version, device type, operating system, crash details, error logs, performance data, and service reliability information.
Security and integrity signals from services such as Firebase App Check, Play Integrity, App Attest, or DeviceCheck, where available.
Cloud Functions and backend logs needed to operate, secure, debug, and improve the app.

2. How We Use Information

We use information to:

Create, authenticate, verify, and secure accounts.
Provide core gameplay features, including scans, business matching, acquisitions, portfolio management, daily simulation, rankings, referrals, tutorials, rewards, and hostile takeovers.
Sync progress across devices and restore account data.
Display and verify rewarded ads and grant virtual rewards when eligible.
Personalize and measure ads where permitted by your consent choices and applicable law.
Detect fraud, cheating, abuse, unauthorized automation, security threats, and policy violations.
Moderate user-provided content and maintain a fair game environment.
Respond to support requests and troubleshoot errors.
Operate admin tools, official business datasets, configuration, and game-balancing systems.
Comply with legal obligations and enforce our Terms of Use.

3. Public and Shared Gameplay Information

Some gameplay information may be visible to other players, such as company name, logo, motto, rankings, region, net worth, takeover-related information, and other profile or leaderboard details.

Do not enter information in your company name, motto, logo, or other visible profile fields that you do not want other players to see.

We do not sell your personal information for money.

We may share information in the following situations:

Service providers that help run the app, such as Firebase/Google Cloud services for authentication, database, storage, backend functions, app integrity, diagnostics, and related infrastructure.
Advertising partners such as Google AdMob, Meta Audience Network, and Unity Ads, to request, deliver, measure, personalize, limit, and verify ads and rewarded ad completions. Depending on your region, some advertising data sharing may be considered a “sale” or “sharing” under privacy laws. Where required, you may be provided privacy choices.
Map and place data providers when location-based scans request nearby business/place data.
Legal, safety, and security purposes when required by law, to enforce our terms, respond to lawful requests, protect users, investigate abuse, or protect our rights and infrastructure.
Business transfers if Chable or related assets are involved in a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or similar transaction.

5. Third-Party Services

Chable may use the following third-party services. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies:

6. Where Data Is Stored

Chable uses cloud services, including Firebase and Google Cloud, to store and process account, gameplay, configuration, media, and support-related data. Data may be processed in the United States or other regions where these providers operate.

7. Your Choices and Controls

You can:

Control location permissions through your device settings.
Update editable company/profile information in the app.
Use in-app privacy choices where available for advertising consent and related privacy settings.
Delete your account and related app data using the account controls in Settings, where available.
Contact us for help with account, privacy, or data requests.

If you disable permissions or decline certain consent choices, some features, ads, rewarded ads, or personalized experiences may be limited or unavailable.

8. Account Deletion and Data Retention

We keep account and gameplay data while your account is active and as needed to provide the service, enforce rules, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, prevent fraud, and maintain security.

When you delete your account through the app or request deletion, we delete or de-identify account and gameplay data where reasonably possible. Some information may remain for a limited time in backups, logs, security records, fraud-prevention systems, or records we are legally required or permitted to retain.

9. Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational safeguards to protect information, including Firebase security features, authentication, and app integrity checks. No system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

10. Children’s Privacy

Chable is not directed to children under 13, or the minimum age required in your region. If you believe a child has provided personal information through Chable, contact us and we will take appropriate steps.

11. International Users

If you use Chable outside the United States, your information may be processed in the United States or other countries where our service providers operate. Privacy laws in those locations may differ from the laws in your region.

12. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Updated versions will be posted on this page with a revised “Last updated” date. Continued use of Chable after an update means you accept the updated policy.
