Privacy Policy

Effective date: 17 March 2026

Gridsmith ("the App") is developed and published by Spring Data Limited ("we", "us", "our"). This privacy policy explains how the App handles your information.

Summary

Gridsmith does not collect, store, transmit, or share any personal data. The App is designed to work entirely on your device with no external server connections required for gameplay.

Data We Do Not Collect

Gridsmith does not collect any of the following:

• Personal information (name, email, phone number, address)
• Device identifiers or advertising identifiers
• Location data
• Usage analytics or telemetry
• Browsing or search history
• Contact information
• Health or fitness data
• Financial or payment information (purchases are handled entirely by Apple)

Local Data Storage

Gridsmith stores your puzzle progress, settings, and completion data locally on your device using Apple's UserDefaults system. This data:

• Never leaves your device
• Is not transmitted to any server
• Is not accessible to us or any third party
• Can be deleted at any time by uninstalling the App or using the "Reset All Progress" option in Settings
• May be included in your iCloud or iTunes device backups, depending on your personal backup settings

In-App Purchases

Gridsmith offers optional in-app purchases (puzzle packs and visual themes) through Apple's App Store. All purchase transactions are processed entirely by Apple. We do not receive, store, or have access to any payment information, credit card details, or Apple ID information.

Third-Party Services

Gridsmith does not integrate any third-party analytics, advertising, crash reporting, or tracking frameworks. The App does not contain any SDKs from third-party companies.

Advertising

Gridsmith contains no advertising of any kind. There are no banner ads, interstitial ads, rewarded video ads, or native ads.

Children's Privacy

Gridsmith does not collect personal information from anyone, including children under the age of 13. The App is safe for users of all ages. The App Store age rating is 4+.

App Tracking Transparency

Gridsmith does not track users across other companies' apps or websites. The App does not request the App Tracking Transparency (ATT) permission because no tracking takes place.

Privacy Nutrition Label

Gridsmith's App Store privacy label is "Data Not Collected". This accurately reflects that the App collects no data from users.

Required Reasons API Disclosure

Gridsmith uses Apple's UserDefaults API to save your puzzle progress and preferences locally on your device. This use is declared in the App's PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy manifest file under the required reasons category CA92.1 (accessing user defaults to read and write information that is only accessible to the app itself).

Changes to This Policy

If we make changes to this privacy policy, we will update the effective date at the top of this page. Material changes will be noted in the App Store release notes. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
