Tilewink is a word game for iPhone made by [Your name or business name] ("we", "us"). This policy explains what happens to information when you use Tilewink. The short version: we don't collect personal data.

Summary

• No account, sign-up or login.
• No advertising, analytics, tracking or data selling.
• Your games, words, streaks and settings stay on your iPhone.
• When you're online, the app downloads puzzles and the current time. Those requests contain no personal information.
• Friend challenges share only a round's letters, mode, score and word count, and expire after 30 days.
• Daily scores go to Apple's Game Center leaderboard only if you're signed in to Game Center.

Information stored on your device

Tilewink saves the following only on your iPhone:

• Rounds you've played: scores, words you found, and dates.
• Your daily challenge results and streak.
• Your settings: haptics, sound and appearance.
• Puzzles, definitions and the time reference downloaded from our server.

We can't see this information, and it is never sent to us. Deleting Tilewink deletes it. If you back up your iPhone, it may be included in your backup under Apple's terms.

iCloud sync. If you're signed in to iCloud, Tilewink saves your finished rounds to your own private iCloud storage so your progress appears on your other devices. This data lives in your iCloud account under Apple's terms, and we can't access it. To turn it off, open iOS Settings → [your name] → iCloud → Apps Using iCloud and switch off Tilewink.

Reminders and widget. Daily reminders are local notifications scheduled on your iPhone, and the home-screen widget reads data saved on your device. Neither sends anything to us.

Information sent over the internet

When your iPhone is online, Tilewink contacts our server to download new puzzles, word definitions and the current time (used so the daily challenge changes at the same moment for everyone). These requests:
