Privacy Policy
PIN IT! is a geography trivia game. We built it to be fun and private. This page explains, in plain language, what data the app touches and why.
THE SHORT VERSION
We don't collect personal information about you. There are no third-party analytics, no ad networks, no trackers. Your profile and stats live on your device. When you play multiplayer or submit a Daily Challenge score, we send only your chosen display name, chosen flag emoji, and score to our server — never anything that could identify you.
WHAT WE STORE ON YOUR DEVICE
The app saves the following locally in your phone's app storage:
- The display name and flag emoji you picked
- Your game stats (games played, best distance, streaks, achievements)
- Your custom questions if you created any
- Your settings (notifications, Gold Mode, Drink Mode confirmation)
- Whether you unlocked the Premium in-app purchase
- A local cache of the question bank
Uninstalling the app removes all of this. We never see it.
WHAT WE STORE ON OUR SERVER
Our server (hosted on Railway in the EU) receives and stores the following:
- Daily Challenge leaderboard: your display name, flag emoji, and score, kept for 24 hours and then deleted. Refreshes at midnight UTC.
- Multiplayer rooms: your display name and flag emoji are held in memory only for the duration of the game and discarded when the room closes.
We never store your IP address, device identifiers, email address, or contacts. We do not build user profiles across sessions.
WHAT WE DO NOT DO
- We do not use third-party analytics (no Google Analytics, no Firebase, no Mixpanel).
- We do not show advertising.
- We do not sell, rent, or share any data with third parties.
- We do not track you across other apps or websites.
IN-APP PURCHASES
The optional Premium unlock is processed by Apple's App Store. We never see your payment details — Apple handles the transaction and only tells our app whether you own the purchase. No card data or Apple ID information reaches us.
PUSH NOTIFICATIONS
The app can send a local reminder each morning about the Daily Challenge. This runs entirely on your device. You can turn it off at any time in Settings, or through your phone's system notification settings.
CHILDREN'S PRIVACY
PIN IT! is rated for ages 4 and up. Drink Mode is protected by an in-app age gate that requires confirmation that the user is 18 or older. We do not knowingly collect any personal data from anyone.
CHANGES TO THIS POLICY
If we change how the app or server handles data, we'll update this page and adjust the "Last updated" date at the top. Meaningful changes will also be announced in the app.
CONTACT
Questions about this policy can be sent via the support link on the App Store page once PIN IT! is published. Until then, the app has no live support channel.
