Privacy policy
In short
Open & Shut doesn’t collect, store or share any personal information. Everything you put into the game stays on your iPhone or iPad. We never see it.
What stays on your device
To play, the game keeps a few things on the iPhone or iPad it’s played on:
- the names you give the players
- games you leave partway through, so you can carry on later
- the leaderboard’s scores
- your settings, including any names you give the two sides
None of this is sent to us or to anyone else. It stays on the device until you delete it: you can remove saved games and scores in the app, and deleting the app removes everything. Like any app’s data, it may be included in the device’s own backups, to iCloud or a computer, under Apple’s terms.
What the game doesn’t do
- It has no accounts, and doesn’t ask who you are.
- It has no adverts, analytics, tracking or crash reporting.
- It doesn’t use the internet to play. It checks whether the device is online, so it can tell you when Airplane Mode is on, and asks Apple’s App Store for the prices of the settings for sale.
- It doesn’t use your camera, microphone, photos, contacts or location.
Buying a setting
Settings for sale are bought through Apple’s App Store, under Apple’s terms and privacy policy. Apple handles the payment and your Apple Account; we never see your name, payment details or account. The game only learns which settings this Apple Account has bought, so it can open them, and keeps that on the device. Apple gives us sales reports without your personal details.
If you email us
Settings has an Email support button. It opens a new email in your own email app, addressed to us, and you decide whether to send it. To help us with any problem, the draft includes the game’s version, the kind of device and the iOS version; you can delete these before you send.
If you send it, we receive your email address, what you write, and those details. We use them only to reply to you and to fix problems with the game. We don’t share them, sell them or add you to any mailing list, and we delete support emails within 12 months of our last reply.
Children
The game is rated for ages 13 and over. It collects no personal information from anyone, children included.
Your rights
Under UK data protection law you can ask us for a copy of any emails of yours we hold, to correct them, or to delete them: email us and we’ll do it. If you’re unhappy with how we’ve handled your information, you can complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office at ico.org.uk.
Changes
If this policy changes, we’ll update it here and change the date at the top.
