Privacy Policy
What the apps collect, what they don't, and how to get rid of it. Plain language, no defined terms.
Last updated 16 August 2026
The short version: the apps work without an account, everything you write or save stays on your device, and the only things that leave are anonymous crash and usage counts plus whatever the ad network needs to put one banner on screen.
What I collect
Nothing that identifies you. There is no account to create, no email to hand over, and no profile sitting on a server with your name on it. Puzzle progress, garden entries, save files and settings live in the app's own storage on your phone, and they go away when you delete the app.
Two things do leave your device. Crash reports, so I can fix what broke — those carry the device model, the OS version and the line of code that failed. And anonymous usage counts, like how many people opened a screen or how long a level took, reported as totals and never per person.
Ads and analytics
The free apps show one banner between sessions. Serving it means the ad network receives your device's advertising identifier and a coarse location — country or region, not an address. That data goes to the network under its own privacy policy; it does not come to me.
The one-time purchase that removes ads also stops those requests at the source. After it, nothing is sent to the ad network at all.
You can reset or switch off the advertising identifier in your phone's settings whenever you like.
On iOS, declining app tracking doesn't remove the banner — it just makes it untargeted.
What I never do
Sell or rent your data to anyone, at any price.
Read what's inside your notes, entries or photos. They never leave your device, so I couldn't if I wanted to.
Ask for your contacts, calendar, microphone or precise location.
Send marketing email you didn't ask for. The newsletter is opt-in and one click to leave.
Where the data lives
Crash and usage reports go to Apple's and Google's own developer dashboards for whichever platform you're on, and stay there as long as those platforms keep them — currently up to a year. The newsletter list sits with the email provider and holds two things: your address and the date you subscribed.
Your rights
Because nothing is tied to your identity, there is usually nothing to look up. Deleting the app removes everything it stored. To leave the newsletter, use the unsubscribe link in any email, or write to me and I'll do it for you. If you're in the EU or the UK and want to exercise a right under the GDPR, email me and you'll get an answer within thirty days.
Children
The apps are made for a general audience and are not directed at children under 13. I don't knowingly collect anything from them. If you think a child has sent me something, write to me and I'll delete it.
Changes to this policy
If something here changes in a way that matters, the date at the top changes and the next release notes say so plainly. Fixing a typo won't get an announcement.
Contact
One person reads this inbox: [email protected]. Ask anything, including "what exactly do you have on me" — the honest answer is almost always "nothing".
The other one
The rules for using the apps — licence, purchases, refunds and what happens if I retire one.

There's no legal department to route you through. Write and it lands in one inbox.
