What information is processed
The app does not ask you for email, name, or similar personal data in order to create an online account.
As the app developer, we do not collect personal data directly. However, some data may be processed by Apple when you use Game Center.
The following are used directly in the source code:
- Game and progress data (
UserDefaults): map-specific best scores, last played score, and in-progress game sessions (tile positions and values on the board, score, and state related to power-up use). - Journey mode (
UserDefaults): information about completed levels. - Last active game information (cold-launch resume,
UserDefaults): last played map identifier and, where applicable, journey level number. - Settings preferences (
UserDefaults): sound effects, haptic feedback, and in-app language selection. - Game Center: sign-in through Apple’s GameKit APIs; submission of scores to leaderboards defined for maps; and reading back scores you previously published from the matching leaderboard (to merge visually with locally stored highs).
In this context, the app source code does not use third-party cookies to build commercial identity, in-app behavioural analytics SDKs, or a separately added crash-reporting library.
Where data is stored and for how long
The local items described above are stored on your Apple device in the standard user-preferences area used by the app. Unless deleted, they remain on the device; the app does not use its own code to store data on a server for the purpose of continuously building a personal profile.
Storage of scores and ranking on the Game Center side within Apple’s infrastructure is solely a matter for Apple.
Game Center and Apple
The app declares the Game Center developer entitlement in its entitlement configuration. When you sign in to Game Center, score submission and leaderboard content are governed by Apple’s authentication and Game Center-related policies. You may review Apple’s privacy practices at Apple Legal — Privacy.
Local storage and deletion
The data reset in Settings, according to the source code, deletes only game saves and journey-mode progress locally (per-map best scores, last score, saved in-progress session, completed journey levels). Keys that store sound, haptics, and language preferences, as well as the “last foreground game” information, are not included in that reset. Full removal may require deleting the app from iOS Settings.
How leaderboard-visible scores are fully reflected to the user on Apple’s systems is covered by system settings and Apple support.
Users may delete all local data by removing the app from their device.
Network connectivity and third-party SDKs
Source review did not find URLSession, a third-party advertising SDK, analytics, or dedicated crash-reporting calls in the app code; no other third-party packages added via a dependency manager (e.g. CocoaPods or Swift Package Manager) were identified.
The app does not send data to an external server through its own code. However, network traffic to Apple’s infrastructure may occur because of the Game Center integration. That process is Apple’s responsibility.
Permissions and sensors
The information property list (including GridlyInfo.plist and keys generated with the Xcode-built Info.plist) does not define privacy usage description strings for the camera, photo library, location, or contacts. App Tracking Transparency is not used in the source code.
For audio routing, AVAudioSession is configured for playback / mix-with-others style categories appropriate to the game; no use for microphone recording was identified.
Security
Most of the data processed remains on the device and within standard iOS app storage boundaries. Your device passcode or biometric lock, together with iOS’s general security model, helps protect that local content.
The app does not use any tracking technology intended to identify the user.
Children
The app offers a board-style game; we confirm that neither the code nor the user interface is designed specifically for children in the sense often used under frameworks such as the GDPR/UK GDPR or FTC children’s privacy rules (e.g. no “children only” design or direct collection of age declarations). If you market the product specifically to children, you should assess additional compliance steps separately.
The app is not designed primarily for children and is not within Apple’s ‘Kids Category’.
International users and rights
If you reside in regions such as the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, certain legal regimes may grant data rights (for example access, rectification, or objection to processing), which in many cases are first raised with the data controller. Those rights depend on your jurisdiction and situation; obtain qualified advice for an accurate assessment.
Requests concerning data related to Game Center may be subject to Apple’s tools and policies.
Changes and last updated date
This policy may be updated over time. Where changes are material, notifying users in the app or on this page is appropriate.
Last updated: 4 May 2026 — source code was reviewed on that date. Update this line to match your own publication schedule when you revise the policy.
