Tinker Shop
Last updated: March 26, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how Tinker Shop handles information when you use the game on iPhone and iPad.
Summary
Tinker Shop is designed to work without a user account. Core progress, settings, and repair inventory are stored on your device. We do not operate a signup system, chat system, or cloud profile for this game.
Information we collect
We do not knowingly collect personal information directly through an in-game account system.
The game may use the following platform services provided by Apple:
- StoreKit: used to process in-app purchases through Apple.
- Game Center: optional, only if you choose to sign in and use Game Center features.
- WidgetKit: used to display on-device game status in widgets.
How gameplay data is stored
Save progress, workshop state, unlocked devices, inventory, and local settings are stored locally on your device. This local data is used to make the game function and to preserve your progress between play sessions.
Purchases
In-app purchases are processed by Apple. We do not receive your full payment card number or other sensitive billing credentials from Apple.
Game Center
If you use Game Center, Apple may process account-related data such as your Game Center profile, friend graph, leaderboard entries, or achievement data according to Apple's own privacy terms.
Game Center use is optional. If you do not use Game Center, those features remain limited or inactive.
Children's privacy
Tinker Shop is intended to be family-friendly. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children through a developer-operated account or profile system.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy when the app's features or data practices change. Updated versions will be posted on this page with a revised effective date.
