Privacy Policy

Spades Score Pad: Bids & Bags · Last updated October 11, 2026

In short: your games and scores stay on your phone. We don't have accounts or servers and don't collect anything ourselves. The app is free because it shows ads from Google AdMob, and Google collects some data to show and measure those ads.

What's stored on your phone

Players' names, games, bids, tricks, scores and your house rules are saved inside the app on your phone. We never receive them. If you back up your phone, the app's data is included in that backup like any other app's. Deleting a game removes it; deleting the app removes everything.

Purchases

Remove Ads is bought through the App Store, which handles the payment. The app only learns whether you own it.

Advertising

Spades Score Pad shows ads from Google AdMob. To serve ads, limit how often you see them, measure them and prevent fraud, Google's software in the app may collect information such as your device's advertising identifier (only if you allow tracking), IP address, coarse location derived from it, device and app information, and how you interact with ads.

You choose whether the app may use your advertising identifier when iOS asks ("Allow" or "Ask App Not to Track"); you can change it any time in Settings › Privacy & Security › Tracking. In regions that require it (such as the EU, UK and some US states) the app also asks for your ad consent, and Privacy Choices in the app's Settings lets you change it. Ads still appear if you decline, but they're less personalized.

Google's use of this data is covered by Google's privacy policy and how Google uses information from apps that use its services.

What we collect

Nothing. We don't run servers, analytics or accounts, and we don't sell or share your games with anyone.

Children

Spades Score Pad is a general-audience app and isn't directed at children under 13.
