Privacy Policy

The short version

Kaboom! Solitaire keeps your games, settings, streaks and progress on your device. There are no accounts, no ads and no tracking, and nothing is sold or shared. The apps send a few anonymous usage counts so I can find what's confusing or broken, and you can turn that off. This policy covers the game on iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple TV and the web.

What stays on your device

Your games, scores, stats, streaks, awards, card backs and settings are saved on your device. Deleting the app deletes them.

iCloud

If you're signed in to iCloud, your stats, streak and awards sync between your own devices through your iCloud account. That's Apple's service; I can't see any of it.

Anonymous usage statistics (the apps)

To find out what's confusing, too hard or broken, the iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple TV apps send a few anonymous counts through TelemetryDeck, a privacy-first analytics service based in the EU:

• when a game starts and ends: which game, whether it was won, how many moves and minutes
• when an award is earned, a setting is changed, a game's rules are opened, or the Full Game page is viewed, bought or restored
• general context that comes with every count: the app and system version, the kind of device, your language and region setting, your time zone, and accessibility settings such as text size (so I can make the game work better with them)

There's no name, email, advertising identifier, location or contact information, and nothing that identifies you: the anonymous identifier is scrambled on your device before it's sent. It's never combined with other data, never used for advertising and never sold.

To turn it off, open Settings › About › Anonymous usage stats in the game. The web version sends nothing.

More by Ian Corbin

When you open More by Ian Corbin in the game, it downloads the current list of my other games and apps from iancorbin.com. Nothing about you is sent with that request; the site's host keeps standard request logs (which include IP addresses) for a short time to run the service.

Game Center

If you're signed in to Game Center, the game reports the awards you earn as achievements, and your best scores, fastest wins, Daily Deals won and best streak to its leaderboards, where other players see your Game Center name and score. Game Center is Apple's service, covered by Apple's privacy policy.

Purchases

The Full Game is a one-time in-app purchase handled entirely by Apple. I never see your payment details or your Apple Account.

Apple's analytics

If you've chosen to share analytics with app developers in your device settings, Apple may give me aggregated, anonymous statistics such as downloads, sessions and crashes. You can turn this off in Settings › Privacy & Security › Analytics & Improvements › Share With App Developers.

Children

The game collects no personal information from anyone, children included.

Changes

If the game ever starts collecting anything more, this policy will be updated before that happens, and the change will be noted here.
