Swipes is designed to collect as little information as possible. You do not need to create an account to play.
Game data
Scores, hearts, difficulty choices, themes, and other game preferences are stored on your device. I do not operate a Swipes account system or a server that stores this game data.
Deleting the app removes data stored by Swipes on that device. Information managed by Apple services, such as Game Center achievements or purchase history, is governed by your Apple Account and Apple's terms.
Anonymous analytics
Swipes uses TelemetryDeck for optional, aggregated product analytics. These events help me understand whether features work and where the app can improve.
- No name, email address, game input, or other directly identifying information is included.
- Analytics are not used for advertising or sold to another company.
- You can turn analytics off at any time in Swipes Settings without changing how the game works.

Game Center
If you use Game Center, Apple handles your player identity, leaderboards, score syncing, and achievements. Swipes submits eligible scores and achievement progress through Apple's GameKit service. Custom difficulty scores are not submitted.
Purchases
Optional purchases are processed by Apple through the App Store. I do not receive your payment card details. Apple may provide Swipes with transaction information needed to deliver or restore a purchase.
Notifications
Swipes only requests notification permission if you choose to enable a daily reminder. Reminders are scheduled on your device. Swipes does not send promotional push notifications.
Website and support
This website does not require an account. If you use the contact form, the name, email address, message, and technical details you submit are sent to the support service so I can review and respond to your request. Do not include sensitive information in a support message.
Your choices
You can:
- play without enabling notifications;
- opt out of anonymous analytics in Settings;
- use Swipes offline, except for Game Center syncing and App Store services; and
- contact me to ask a privacy question.
