I want to publish a simple app that doesn't collect any personal data. It is an offline game (noughts and crosses), that doesn't require any account, and stores only field state on the user's device. I don't have any server and don't transfer the data anywhere, so it's fully offline. But Google Play asks for a Privacy Policy. How can I get it? Is there any standard Privacy Policy for such type of application? Can I just write something like "We don't store and transfer any personal data"?

Easiest way is just to use a privacy policy generator such as this one: https://app-privacy-policy-generator.firebaseapp.com/
It's simple to use and only takes a few minutes to get you a privacy policy

I recently ran into this myself. I have a very simple app that does not collect any personal information.
I looked all over and tried a few of the privacy policy generators, but they all seemed like overkill. So I started with a simple statement:
This application does not collect or store personal data.
Then based on this comment, I added another note:
If you installed this application from Google Play, then Google Play does collect some personal data. Please see the privacy policy for Google Play Services here: https://policies.google.com/privacy
