Effective Date: October 3, 2026
County Names & Lines ("the App") is developed by Mobile Card Games & Travel Apps LLC. This Privacy Policy explains what data the App collects, how it is used, and how your privacy is protected.
This policy covers County Names & Lines on both iPhone/iPad and Android. The App is designed to work almost entirely on your device. It collects:
The App does not collect your name, email address, photos, contacts, or analytics data, and it does not show ads. On Android the advertising-identifier permission is explicitly removed from the App, so the App cannot read your advertising ID at all. We operate no servers, and the App sends nothing to any backend of ours.
The App asks for foreground location only — "While Using the App" on iOS, and the standard location permission on Android. It never requests background location. Here is exactly what happens with your position:
How often this happens is deliberately limited: the App only looks up your county after you have moved at least 20 meters, and at most once every few seconds.
You can deny or revoke location permission at any time in iOS Settings or Android Settings; the App's map and county lookup features simply won't have your position.
The App shares data with the following third parties, and no others:
We do not sell, rent, or share your data with anyone else. The App contains no advertising SDK and no analytics SDK on either platform.
Because your data stays on your device, there is no server-side copy of it to secure. Purchase transactions are handled over encrypted connections by Apple, Google Play, and RevenueCat, and the county boundary data bundled inside the App is stored encrypted and decrypted only in memory.
You have the right to:
Depending on where you live, privacy laws such as the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CCPA/CPRA) give you rights over your personal data, including the rights to know, access, correct, and delete it. Because we do not hold your data on servers we operate, there is typically nothing for us to access or delete on request — deleting the App deletes your data. Where the App does process data in transit, or a third-party service described above collects data, you may contact us at the email below to exercise your rights, and we will respond as required by applicable law.
The App is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect data from children under 13. In some regions, including the European Union, a higher minimum age applies to consent for data processing; the same statement applies there — we do not knowingly collect data from anyone under the applicable age.
The county finder on countyname.app runs in your web browser and is separate from the App. If you tap “Find my county,” your browser asks for permission to share your location; if you allow it, your browser sends those coordinates directly to the U.S. Census Bureau Geocoder (geocoding.geo.census.gov) to look up the county. If you type a street address instead, your browser sends that address to the same service. These lookups go straight from your browser to the Census Bureau and are handled under the Census Bureau’s privacy policy. We do not receive, log, or store the coordinates or addresses you look up.
If the Census Bureau service does not respond to a location lookup, your browser downloads a public file of U.S. county outlines from the jsDelivr content network and identifies the county on your device. In that case your coordinates are not sent anywhere.
In the unlikely event of a data breach affecting user data on any system we operate, we will notify affected users as required by applicable law.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be reflected by updating the "Effective Date" at the top of this page.
