Privacy policy

Xing has no accounts and no servers of its own. We don’t collect or store your personal information. The ads in the game come from Google, and Google collects some data to show them, as explained below.

Last updated 13 November 2026

In short

  • No sign-up, no account, no profile. Xing has no servers of its own.
  • Your settings, statistics and coins are kept on your iPhone (coins can also sync through your own iCloud).
  • Ads come from Google AdMob. Google uses your device’s advertising identifier only if you allow tracking.
  • Payments are handled by Apple. We never see your payment details.
  • Online play goes through Apple’s Game Center. Nearby play goes directly between phones.
  • We don’t sell personal information, and Xing has no chat.

Who we are

Xing is published by Xing Cards, Albania (“we”, “us”). This policy covers the Xing app for iPhone and this website. For privacy questions, email support@xingcards.com.

What stays on your iPhone

Xing saves your settings (theme, sound, music, haptics, bot level, the name you use at nearby tables), your statistics (games played and won, Xings made), your coins and which themes you’ve unlocked. This information is stored only on your device. We never receive it.

If you use iCloud, your coin balance is also kept in your own iCloud account so it follows you to your other devices and survives a reinstall. That copy is stored by Apple in your account; we can’t see it.

Xing doesn’t ask for your contacts, photos, microphone, camera or precise location, and it contains no analytics or crash-reporting tools of our own.

Ads and tracking

Xing is free to play and shows a short ad at the end of some games, including online games. You can also choose to watch a short video ad for coins. Ads never appear during play. Players who buy Remove Ads or join the Xing Club don’t see the end-of-game ads.

The ads are provided by Google AdMob. To show and measure ads, Google’s software in the app may collect:

  • your device’s advertising identifier (IDFA), only if you allow tracking when Xing asks;
  • information about the ads you see and tap;
  • an approximate location derived from your IP address;
  • device information, and crash and performance data from the ad software.

Your choice. Xing asks with Apple’s standard prompt before any tracking. If you choose “Ask App Not to Track”, you still see ads, just less relevant ones. You can change this any time in your iPhone’s Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking.

EU, EEA, UK and Switzerland. Google’s consent form asks for your choice before personalised ads are shown. You can change what you agreed to at any time in Xing’s Settings → Ad choices.

Google’s use of this data is governed by Google’s own privacy policy (policies.google.com/privacy). How Google uses information from apps that use its services is explained at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.

Purchases and Xing Club

All purchases, including themes, Remove Ads, coin packs and the Xing Club subscription, are made through Apple’s App Store and charged to your Apple Account. Apple processes the payment; we never receive your name, card details or billing address. The app checks your purchases on your device using Apple’s StoreKit so it can unlock what you bought, and Apple shares sales reports with us that don’t identify you.

Apple’s handling of your purchase information is covered by Apple’s privacy policy: apple.com/legal/privacy.

Playing nearby

When you play with people in the same room, Xing connects directly to their iPhones over Wi-Fi or Bluetooth using Apple’s peer-to-peer networking. The first time, iOS asks for permission to find devices on your local network. The name you choose and the moves of the game are sent only to the other players at that table, and only while you play. Nothing is sent to us or stored anywhere else.

Game Center

Playing with friends who aren’t nearby uses Apple’s Game Center. Apple handles sign-in, friends, invitations and matching, and shows your Game Center nickname and avatar to the players you play with. The moves of the game are sent between players’ devices through Apple’s service. We don’t receive or store any of this. Game Center is covered by Apple’s privacy policy and the Game Center terms.

Retention and international transfers

Information stored on your iPhone stays there until you delete it or delete the app. Information collected by Google or Apple is kept according to their own policies. Google and Apple may process information in countries other than yours, including the United States, under safeguards such as the European Commission’s standard contractual clauses.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct or delete personal information, to object to or restrict its processing, to withdraw consent, and to complain to your data protection authority.

Because we don’t hold personal information about you, most requests are best made directly to Google (for ad data, at Google’s privacy controls) or to Apple (for purchases, iCloud and Game Center, at privacy.apple.com). We’re happy to help: email support@xingcards.com and we’ll reply within 30 days.

Deleting your data

There is no Xing account to delete. To remove everything Xing keeps:

  1. On your iPhone: delete the Xing app. This erases your settings, statistics, coins and game data from the device.
  2. In iCloud: to remove the synced coin balance, go to Settings → [your name] → iCloud → Manage Account Storage, choose Xing if it’s listed, and delete its data.
  3. Advertising: turn off tracking in Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking. To ask Google about ad data, use Google’s privacy controls.
  4. Game Center and purchases: these are held by Apple. You can request a copy or deletion at privacy.apple.com.

Purchases stay linked to your Apple Account, so you can restore them later with Restore purchases, even after deleting the app.

Children

Xing is a general-audience card game rated 4+ on the App Store. It isn’t directed at children under 13, and we don’t knowingly collect personal information from anyone, including children. Xing has no chat and no way for players to share personal information with each other.

Parents can use Screen Time on iPhone to turn on Ask to Buy, block in-app purchases, and stop apps from asking to track. If you believe a child has provided personal information through Xing, email support@xingcards.com.

US state privacy

We don’t sell personal information for money. If you allow tracking, Google may use your advertising identifier to show ads based on your activity across apps, which some US state laws treat as “sharing” for targeted advertising. To opt out, choose “Ask App Not to Track”, or turn off tracking in Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking. We don’t use or disclose sensitive personal information.

Security

Nearby games use Apple’s encrypted peer-to-peer connections, and Game Center traffic is handled by Apple. Because we don’t run servers or keep your data, there is nothing of yours stored with us to be exposed.

Changes

If this policy changes, the new version will be posted on this page with a new date. If a change significantly affects how information is handled, we’ll also mention it in the app’s update notes.
