Privacy Policy
Vial Sort collects nothing. The app has no network code of any kind. There is no server, no account, no login, no analytics, no advertising, no crash reporting and no third-party SDK. Nothing you do in the app is ever transmitted anywhere, because the app has no way to transmit anything.
What we do not collect
- No name, email address, phone number or any other identifying information.
- No account, login or sign-up of any kind — the app has none.
- No advertising or device identifiers (no IDFA, no IDFV). The app does not track you across apps or websites and does not present the App Tracking Transparency prompt, because it has nothing to track you with.
- No analytics, telemetry or crash-reporting SDK, first-party or third-party.
- No usage statistics of any kind leave your device.
- No location, contacts, photos, camera, microphone, calendar, health or motion data. The app requests zero iOS permissions — there is nothing for you to grant or decline.
- No data is sold, shared or disclosed to anyone, because no data ever leaves your device.
What is stored on your device
The app saves the following locally, inside its own sandboxed storage on your iPhone, so that you can close the app and continue where you left off:
| What | Where | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Appearance (light/dark/system), haptics on/off, colour-blind patterns on/off, whether you have seen the tutorial | iOS UserDefaults (app's own container) |
To remember your settings |
| Your current puzzle — level number and the list of pours you have made | current-game.json, app's Application Support folder |
To restore your unfinished game after you close the app |
| Your progress — completed levels, best move counts, total moves, hints used, streak | progress.json, app's Application Support folder |
To show your level map and statistics |
None of this is personal data, none of it is linked to you or to any identifier, and none of it is readable by us or by any other app. It never leaves your device — it is not uploaded, not backed up to any server we operate, and not visible to us in any form.
If you have iCloud Backup or an encrypted local backup enabled, iOS may include this app's sandboxed files in your own device backup. That backup belongs to you and is governed by Apple's privacy policy, not ours — we have no access to it.
Deleting your data
Two ways, both entirely in your control:
- In the app: Settings → Reset progress. This erases your saved game, your level progress and your statistics immediately and permanently.
- Delete the app. iOS removes the app's entire sandboxed storage automatically, including everything listed above.
There is nothing for us to delete on our side, because we never receive anything.
Children
The app is a general-audience logic puzzle. It is not directed specifically at children and is not part of the Kids Category. Because it collects no data at all from any user, there is no children's-data concern (COPPA, GDPR Art. 8) — there is no data to concern.
Your rights (GDPR, CCPA/CPRA and similar laws)
These laws give you rights over personal data a company holds about you — access, correction, export, deletion, objection, and, under CCPA/CPRA, the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information.
We hold no personal data about you. We never collect it, we have no server that could receive it, and we have no way to identify you. Consequently:
- There is nothing to give you access to, correct, export or delete on our side.
- We do not sell or share personal information, and never have.
- We do not process personal data, so no consent, no legal basis, no data-protection officer and no consent banner is required for this app.
You can still write to serinulviye63@gmail.com with any privacy question and we will answer.
Third parties
None. The app bundles no third-party SDK, framework or service. It does not open any external service in the background. The only outbound link in the app is the “Privacy Policy” row in Settings → About, which opens this page in your browser when you tap it.
Encryption
The app uses no encryption beyond what iOS itself provides for its own file storage, and makes
no network connections. It is declared as exempt from US export encryption requirements
(ITSAppUsesNonExemptEncryption = false).
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes, the effective date above will be updated. Because the app collects nothing, any change would only ever be clarifying wording — but the date will still be updated.
Jurisdiction
This policy is governed by the laws of the United States, State of South Carolina.
