Privacy Policy
How Squart handles information on your device and through Apple services.
Last updated:
Summary
Squart is designed to work without creating an account. Core gameplay runs on your device and does not require a network connection. We do not operate our own analytics or advertising SDKs inside the app.
Who we are
Squart is published by the developer of the Squart iOS application (“we”, “us”). For privacy questions, contact sgazza@outlook.com.
Information we collect
Information you provide
- If you email us for support, we receive the content of your message and your email address.
Information stored on your device
Squart saves preferences locally using iOS storage (for example UserDefaults), such as:
- Selected theme, app icon, and visual settings
- Game setup preferences (board size, shape, AI difficulty, and similar options)
- Daily Challenge progress and history on that device
- Sound and haptics settings
- Locally cached confirmation of non-consumable purchases (Squart Supporter), to restore access between launches
This data stays on your device unless you delete the app or reset the device.
Information we do not collect through the app
- No Squart account or registration
- No in-app advertising profile
- No deliberate collection of precise location, contacts, photos, or microphone content for gameplay
Apple services
Optional purchases use Apple In-App Purchase (StoreKit). Payment and purchase records are processed by Apple under the Apple Privacy Policy. We receive purchase entitlement information needed to unlock premium themes on your device.
If you download Squart from the App Store, Apple may collect data related to store use, diagnostics, and device information according to its own policies.
How we use information
- Provide and save gameplay and appearance preferences on your device
- Validate and restore in-app purchase entitlements
- Respond to support requests you send by email
- Improve the app based on feedback you choose to share
Retention
On-device data remains until you delete the app or clear app data. Support emails are kept only as long as needed to handle your request and maintain reasonable records.
Children
Squart is suitable for a general audience and does not knowingly collect personal information from children through a dedicated registration flow. If you believe a child has sent us personal information by email, contact us and we will delete it.
Your choices and rights
- Delete the app to remove locally stored Squart data on that device
- Manage in-app purchases and subscriptions through your Apple ID settings
- Use Restore Purchases in the app with the same Apple ID used for the original purchase
- Contact us to ask about support messages you have sent
Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights (access, correction, deletion, objection). Email us and we will respond within a reasonable time.
Security
We use reasonable measures to protect information we handle. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure; please use a device passcode and keep your Apple ID credentials safe.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top will change when we do. Continued use of the app after changes means you accept the updated policy.
