This policy covers The Babel Cipher, a word puzzle game for iPhone and iPad developed by Aditya Sundaram. It is short because the game is built not to need your data, and the sections below simply set out what that means in practice.
What the game does not collect
The game does not ask for your name, email address or any other contact information. It has no accounts and no sign-in of any kind. It does not request or access your location, your contacts, your photos, your microphone or your camera. It contains no third-party analytics, no advertising, no advertising identifier, no in-app purchases and no payment processing. It makes no network requests, because it has no server to make them to.
What stays on your device
The game saves your difficulty setting, your audio preferences and your local high scores so that they are still there when you come back. All of it is written to your device's own storage and stays there. None of it is transmitted anywhere, none of it can be read by the developer, and all of it is removed when you delete the app.
Data collected by Apple
Although the game itself collects nothing, Apple may gather its own aggregate usage statistics and crash diagnostics through the App Store and iOS, as it does for any app. That collection is governed by Apple's privacy policy rather than by this one, and the developer receives only whatever anonymised summaries Apple chooses to make available. The same would apply to any other platform the game is later distributed through.
Children's privacy
The game is suitable for all ages and collects no personal information from anyone, so it does not knowingly collect personal information from children of any age. There is nothing in the game that a child could disclose to the developer, because there is no mechanism through which anything could be disclosed.
Your rights
Data protection law gives you rights to access, correct, export and delete the personal data an organisation holds about you. The developer holds no personal data about you, so there is nothing to access, correct, export or delete. If you want the local data the game has saved on your device to be gone, deleting the app removes it.
Changes to this policy
If a future version of the game adds anything that changes what is collected, this policy will be updated before that version is released, and the date at the top of this page will change with it. The App Store privacy information for the game is kept in step with this policy.
