Bluetooth Multiplayer

The Bluetooth feature allows two players on the same physical location to play together using a direct device-to-device BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) connection.

All communication is local and direct — no servers involved
Only game move data (dice rolls, checker positions) is exchanged
No personal information is transmitted at any time
The connection ends when you leave the game or close the app

Local Data Storage

Backgammon King stores the following data only on your device using Android's secure local storage:

Sound preferences (enabled / volume level)
Selected game theme (light / dark mode)

This data never leaves your device and is deleted when you uninstall the app.
