Privacy policy

The Store Brand app sends us anonymous usage counts so we can see which puzzles people play and whether the app is working. Each count is one event with these fields and nothing else:

• the kind of event: the app opened, a puzzle started, solved or lost, the daily solved, the unlock screen shown, a purchase or a restore;
• which game, and the puzzle strength (easy, medium, hard or expert);
• the calendar day;
• the platform (iOS, Android or web) and the app version.

An event carries no device identifier, no advertising identifier, no account and no name. We don’t store your IP address with it or anywhere else. Two events from the same phone can’t be linked to each other or to you.

• No ads, and no ad networks.
• No tracking across apps or websites.
• No third-party SDKs: no analytics, crash-reporting or attribution services.
• No accounts, no email sign-up, no access to your contacts.
• We never sell or share data. There is nothing about you to sell.

The $9 unlock is bought through Apple’s App Store and, when it launches, Google Play. They handle the payment; we never see your card, your name or your Apple or Google account. The app only learns whether the unlock is owned, so it can open every game and restore the unlock on a new phone.

When you play in your browser at /play, your progress, streak and settings stay in your browser’s localStorage, on your device. We don’t copy them to our server, and clearing your browser data clears them. Web play sends the same anonymous counts as the app.

Your stats, streaks, flavour and house rules are kept on your phone. Deleting the app deletes them.

Store Brand is rated 4+. We collect nothing that identifies anyone, so we collect nothing that identifies a child.

If this policy changes we’ll update this page and its effective date. Questions go to sal@dested.com.
