Peg Ball Party

Privacy Policy

Last updated: 27 August 2026 · Applies to the Peg Ball Party app for iPhone and iPad.

1. Who we are

Peg Ball Party (“the App”, “we”, “us”) is a single-player physics peg-shooter game distributed through the Apple App Store. This policy explains what information the App handles, why, and what choices you have. If any part of it is unclear, write to us — the address is at the bottom of this page.

2. Information we do not collect

The App has no login, no user profile and no social layer. We do not collect:

• your name, postal address, phone number or date of birth;
• contacts, calendars, health data, or precise or coarse location;
• advertising identifiers (IDFA) — the App does not request App Tracking Transparency permission;
• microphone recordings;
• payment card details (any purchase you make is handled entirely by Apple; we never see your card).

3. Camera and photo library

The App can turn a picture into a playable board, into an orb decal, or into your host portrait, and it uses the live camera for Colour Hunt rituals. This is why iOS may ask you for camera and photo permissions.

• Everything is analysed locally. Image data is read into memory on your device, converted into peg positions and colours, and discarded or saved into the App's own private storage. Pictures and camera frames are never transmitted to our servers or to any third party.
• Permissions are optional. Decline them and the rest of the game — all nine halls and sixty-three hand-authored boards — remains fully playable.
• Saving is your choice. The App only writes an image back to your photo library when you explicitly tap to export a constellation card or decal.
• You can change or revoke these permissions at any time in iOS Settings → Privacy & Security → Camera / Photos.

4. Information stored on your device

To let you continue where you left off, the App stores the following in its own sandboxed container on your device: game progress (halls lit, boards cleared, peg species met), currency balances, owned and tempered orbs, unlocked milestones, settings such as sound, haptics and accessibility options, and any boards or decals you have created from your own pictures.

This data stays on the device. We cannot read it. If iCloud Backup is enabled in your iOS settings, a copy may be included in your encrypted Apple backup, governed by Apple's privacy policy. Deleting the App removes this data from the device.

5. Technical data when the App connects to the internet

Some screens load content from our servers over an encrypted (HTTPS) connection. As with any internet request, our hosting provider automatically processes basic technical information needed to deliver a response and keep the service secure:

Data	Why	Kept for
IP address	Routing the response; abuse and fraud prevention	Up to 30 days in server logs
Device model, iOS version, app version	Serving content that fits your device; diagnosing faults	Up to 30 days in server logs
Language and region settings	Showing content in a suitable language	Up to 30 days in server logs
Date, time and status of the request	Reliability monitoring and security	Up to 30 days in server logs

This information is used for operating and securing the service only. It is not combined into a profile, not used for advertising, and not sold or shared with data brokers.

6. Web content shown inside the App

Certain informational pages (such as this policy) may be displayed inside the App in a standard system web view. While you view such a page, the website you are viewing may set cookies or local storage in that web view, exactly as it would in Safari. Clearing the App's data or deleting the App removes them. Links that point outside our own pages open in your default browser, where the privacy policy of the destination site applies.

7. When you contact support

If you write to us through the support page or by email, we receive the email address you provide, the subject or reason you select, the message you write, and anything you choose to attach or quote (for example a description of your device or a screenshot).

• Purpose: answering your question and fixing the problem you reported.
• Legal basis (EEA/UK): our legitimate interest in providing user support, and the performance of our agreement with you.
• Retention: correspondence is kept for up to 24 months so we can follow up on recurring issues, then deleted.
• Please do not include sensitive personal information in a support message — we never need it.

8. Children

The App is suitable for a general audience and does not knowingly collect personal information from children. There are no accounts, no chat, no user-to-user messaging and no behavioural advertising. If you believe a child has sent us personal information through a support request, write to us and we will delete it promptly.

9. Service providers

We keep the list of external parties as short as possible:

• Apple Inc. — distributes the App and processes any purchase, download and crash report you choose to share with developers via iOS. See Apple's privacy policy.
• Our hosting and email providers — store the server logs described in section 5 and deliver support correspondence, acting on our instructions under a data-processing agreement.

We do not use third-party analytics, attribution or advertising SDKs inside the App.

10. International transfers

Our servers and email systems may be located outside your country, including outside the European Economic Area. Where personal data is transferred internationally, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses.

11. Security

Traffic between the App and our servers is encrypted in transit with TLS. Data on your device is protected by iOS app sandboxing and device encryption. No system is perfectly secure, but we limit risk by collecting as little as possible in the first place.

12. Your rights

Depending on where you live — for example under the GDPR in the EEA and the UK, or the CCPA/CPRA in California — you may have the right to access, correct, delete, restrict or object to the processing of your personal data, to receive a copy in a portable format, and to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority. California residents additionally have the right not to be discriminated against for exercising these rights; note that we do not sell or share personal information as those terms are defined by the CPRA.

To exercise any right, contact us at the address below. Because we hold so little — typically nothing more than a support email thread and short-lived server logs — most requests are handled within a few days, and always within 30 days. Data held only on your device can be erased by you at any time by deleting the App.

13. Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, we will update the date at the top of this page and, for significant changes, highlight them in the App. Continuing to use the App after an update means you accept the revised policy.
