Privacy policy
This is the policy for the game Fable Match (the app) and for this website, fablematch.online. We'll keep it simple: we store only what's needed so you can play and so nobody cheats.

The game
Your account
When you open the game for the first time, a guest account is created without asking for your email or phone number. We keep:
- A random key that stays on your device or in your browser's local storage and identifies you. On our server we only keep a fingerprint of it (SHA-256), not the key.
- Your player code (6 digits) and the player name you choose.
- Your progress: level, stars, coins, lives, boosters and gifts collected, and the record of every change in coins and boosters.
- Your games: the level, the moves and the result. The server replays them with the same game engine to check that nobody cheats.
- The IP address the account was created from, to stop people who create accounts in bulk.
If you link your Google account
You can link your Google account to recover your progress on another device, both in the browser and on Android. We receive an identifier for your account from Google, which we keep to recognize you. We never see your password. On the website, Google shows its account picker when you ask to link it.
If you create an account with your email
You can also save your progress with an email and a password, from Settings, to sign in from another device. We keep your email and the encrypted password (a hash that can't be reversed: never the password itself). We only write to you to send the code that confirms your email or the one that lets you change your password if you forget it.
Purchases
Purchases are made with Google Play: Google handles the payment and we never see your card details. We receive the purchase receipt so we can give you what you bought and save it to your account.
The leaderboard
The game's leaderboard and this website's show your player name and the levels you've beaten. They show nothing else.
What we don't do
The game has no ads and no third-party analytics or tracking tools, and we don't sell or share your data.
The website
Earlier news subscriptions
If you signed up for the old mailing list, we keep your email and the record of your permission (date, sign-up and confirmation IP address, and the text you accepted). You can unsubscribe with the link in each email. The website no longer shows a form for new subscriptions.
Deletion requests
If you ask to delete your account from the website, we keep a record of the request (player code, date, IP and email if you give it to us) so we can prove we handled it.
When you visit the website
Like any website, the server logs the IP address, the date and the page requested, for security and to keep it running. The game uses the browser's local storage to keep your sign-in and preferences. The optional Google sign-in loads its account picker when you ask for it. The admin panel uses a technical session cookie.
Optional website analytics
If you accept analytics cookies, the home page and the news pages may load Google Analytics to measure visits and clicks to Google Play. Before you accept, or if you decline, this tool isn't downloaded and no events are sent to it.
When it loads, Google receives technical data such as the IP address, the browser, the page address without parameters or fragments, and the referring domain. It uses first-party analytics cookies with the prefix fablematch_analytics, lasting up to 180 days. We don't send your email, your player code, your progress or your purchases, and we don't measure the account screens, the admin panel, deletion requests or the personal links for lives or teams. Advertising, personalization and Google Signals features are turned off.
The basis for this measurement is your consent. We save your choice in this browser for 180 days, in local storage. You can change it from “Cookie preferences” in the website footer. If you decline after accepting, further events stop and our analytics cookies are deleted; this doesn't withdraw data already sent. More information in Google's privacy policy.
Why and on what basis
- Providing the game (your account, your progress, your purchases and the leaderboard): it's what we need to give you the service you ask for when you play.
- Checking games and stopping abuse: our legitimate interest in keeping the game fair and safe for everyone.
- The news mailing list: your consent, which you can withdraw whenever you like.
How long
Your account data is kept as long as the account exists. When you delete it, everything that belongs to it is deleted: progress, games, records and leaderboard position. Emails on the mailing list, until you unsubscribe (after that, only the record of the unsubscription, so we don't write to you again).
Deleting your account
From Settings, inside the game, or from this page.
Children
Fable Match is for all ages. If you're under 14, ask your parent or guardian for permission before linking an account, creating one with your email or making purchases.
Your rights
You can ask to access, correct or delete your data, to restrict or object to its use and to take it with you, and you can withdraw your consent whenever you want, by writing to hola@fablematch.online with your player code. If you think we're not handling it properly, you can complain to the Spanish Data Protection Agency (aepd.es).
If there's any difference between this translation and the Spanish version, the Spanish version prevails.
