Privacy Policy

Different games can have different features, and so different ways of handling information. This policy therefore has a separate section for each game, followed by the parts that apply to all of them. Each game's section is based on a review of that game's own code and settings for the version named there. If a future version of a game works differently, or we publish a new game, this policy will be updated before that version or game is released.

Pattern Pieces

This section is based on a review of Pattern Pieces' own code and settings as of October 9, 2026.

What the game stores on your iPhone

To let you continue where you left off, Pattern Pieces saves a small amount of game data in its own app storage on your iPhone:

• Your progress: the level to resume, the levels you have completed, your score, your hints, whether you have finished the in-game tutorial, and whether a hint reward has already been given.
• Your settings: whether sound effects, music and haptics are switched on or off.
• Save file details: a version number for the save file, and a note of which earlier version it was updated from. When an app update changes the save format, the game may keep a backup copy of the earlier save on your device so your progress is not lost.

This information is used only to run the game on your device: to restore your progress and keep your settings. It is stored in the app's private data folder. The game does not make these files available in the Files app or through file sharing with a computer.

What the game does not collect

Pattern Pieces does not ask you to create an account or sign in, and it does not ask for your name, email address or other contact details. It does not ask for access to your location, contacts, photos, camera or microphone. The game contains no advertising, analytics, tracking or crash-reporting services, and it does not use any third-party plug-ins of that kind.

Based on the reviewed version, the game's own code makes no network connections and does not transmit your progress, settings or any other personal information to the developer or to anyone else.

Links that open your browser

The game's Settings screen has a link to this privacy policy. Tapping it opens the page in your web browser. That is the only action in the game that leaves the app.

Dishwasher Blocks

This section is based on a review of Dishwasher Blocks' own code, settings and build configuration for version 1.0.0, as of October 23, 2026.

What the game stores on your iPhone

Dishwasher Blocks saves one small settings file in the app's private storage on your iPhone. It contains:

• your best score;
• how many dishwasher tablets you have left;
• whether sound is muted;
• whether you have seen the "How to play" card.

This information is used only to run the game on your device. The game does not make the file available in the Files app or through file sharing with a computer.

What the game does not collect

Dishwasher Blocks has no accounts and does not ask for your name, email address or any other personal information. It does not ask for access to your location, contacts, photos, camera or microphone. It contains no advertising, analytics, tracking or crash-reporting services, has no in-app purchases, and uses no third-party plug-ins or SDKs beyond the Godot game engine it is built with.

Based on the reviewed version, the game's own code makes no network connections and does not transmit your scores, settings or any other information to the developer or to anyone else.

Links that open your browser

The game's About screen (the "i" button on the title screen) has links to this privacy policy and to our support page. Tapping one opens the page in your web browser. Those links are the only actions in the game that leave the app.

Tidy Things

This section is based on a review of Tidy Things' own code, settings and build configuration as of October 24, 2026, for the version being prepared for TestFlight testing.

What the game stores on your iPhone

Tidy Things saves one small save file in the app's private storage on your iPhone. It contains:

• the levels you have finished and the best result for each (Clean or Spotless);
• the level to reopen next time;
• how many hints you have left;
• whether you have dismissed the "How to play" panel;
• a version number for the save file.

If the save file ever can't be read, the game keeps that copy beside it on your device and starts fresh. This information is used only to run the game on your device. The game does not make the file available in the Files app or through file sharing with a computer.

What the game does not collect

Tidy Things has no accounts and does not ask for your name, email address or any other personal information. It does not ask for access to your location, contacts, photos, camera or microphone. It contains no advertising, analytics, tracking or crash-reporting services, has no in-app purchases, and uses no third-party plug-ins or SDKs beyond the Godot game engine it is built with.

Based on the reviewed version, the game's own code makes no network connections and does not transmit your progress, hints or any other information to the developer or to anyone else.

Links that open your browser

The game's title screen has links to this privacy policy and to our support page. Tapping one opens the page in your web browser. Those links are the only actions in the game that leave the app.

For all our games

Websites you open from a game

When you visit a website, including this one, that site and your browser handle the visit under their own policies. How this website works is described below.

Apple, the App Store and TestFlight

Our games are distributed through Apple's services. When you download one of our games from the App Store or test a pre-release version through TestFlight, Apple processes information independently of the game, under Apple's own privacy policy and terms. This can include, for example, your Apple Account and download records.

Depending on your choices in your iPhone's settings, Apple may share crash reports or app usage information with app developers. If you take part in a TestFlight beta, Apple may make information such as your name, email address, and any feedback, screenshots or crash reports you choose to send available to the developer, as described in Apple's TestFlight terms. This information comes from Apple's services, not from the games' own code.

Keeping and deleting your data

A game's data stays on your iPhone until you delete the app. Deleting one of our games from your iPhone removes that game's saved progress, scores and settings from the device.

Like other app data, a game's data may be included in your iPhone's own backups (for example iCloud Backup or a backup to your computer), depending on your device settings. Those backups are managed by you and Apple, and are kept or removed according to your backup settings.

Because our games do not send your progress, scores or settings to the developer, the developer does not hold a copy of them.

If you email us

If you write to us, we receive your email address and whatever you include in your message, such as a description of a problem or a screenshot. We use it to reply to you and to look into the problem you describe.

This website

This website does not use cookies, analytics, advertising or tracking, and it does not load fonts, scripts or images from other websites. Like any web host, the hosting provider may process technical information such as IP addresses in server logs in order to deliver and secure the site.

Children

Our games do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone, including children. Each game works the same way for every player.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, the updated version will be published on this page with a new date. Each game's section says which version of that game it describes.
