Privacy Policy
What stays on your device
Your scores, bests, streaks, level progress and settings are stored locally on your iPhone. The game is fully playable offline; none of this ever needs to leave your device. Deleting the app deletes this data permanently.
Game Center (global leaderboards)
Leaderboards are provided by Apple's Game Center. If you are signed in to Game Center, your scores are submitted to Apple together with your Game Center player identity, and Apple shows them on the leaderboard under your Game Center nickname. We never receive your name, email, or Apple ID — the app only reads the leaderboard entries Apple exposes (nicknames and scores) in order to display them.
Game Center is governed by Apple's Privacy Policy. You can play without Game Center; leaderboards are simply unavailable then.
Notifications
If you allow notifications, the app schedules local reminders (for example, that a new daily board is available). These are created and delivered entirely on your device — there is no push server and nothing is sent to us. You can disable them any time in Settings.
In-app purchases
Shade Out offers a single one-time purchase (Pro unlock (one-time purchase)). Payment is processed by Apple; we never see your payment details. To recognise the purchase across reinstalls, the app uses RevenueCat, a purchase infrastructure provider. RevenueCat receives the App Store receipt and a random app-generated identifier — not your name, email, or Apple ID. See RevenueCat's Privacy Policy.
What we don't do
- No accounts, and no collection of your name, email, or contacts.
- No third-party analytics SDKs.
- No selling of data — we have nothing to sell.
- No advertising SDKs of any kind.
Children
The app is suitable for all ages and collects no personal data from anyone, including children.
Changes
If a future version changes any of the above, this page will be updated before that version ships, and the App Store privacy label will be kept in sync.
