Privacy Policy
What stays on your device
Your scores, bests, streaks, level progress and settings are stored locally on your iPhone. The game is fully playable offline; none of this ever needs to leave your device. Deleting the app deletes this data permanently.
Game Center (global leaderboards)
Leaderboards are provided by Apple's Game Center. If you are signed in to Game Center, your scores are submitted to Apple together with your Game Center player identity, and Apple shows them on the leaderboard under your Game Center nickname. We never receive your name, email, or Apple ID — the app only reads the leaderboard entries Apple exposes (nicknames and scores) in order to display them.
Game Center is governed by Apple's Privacy Policy. You can play without Game Center; leaderboards are simply unavailable then.
Notifications
If you allow notifications, the app schedules local reminders (for example, that a new daily board is available). These are created and delivered entirely on your device — there is no push server and nothing is sent to us. You can disable them any time in Settings.
In-app purchases
Chimp Recall offers Chimp Recall Pro — weekly or monthly subscription, or a one-time lifetime purchase. Payment is processed by Apple; we never see your payment details. To recognise the purchase across reinstalls, the app uses RevenueCat, a purchase infrastructure provider. RevenueCat receives the App Store receipt and a random app-generated identifier — not your name, email, or Apple ID. See RevenueCat's Privacy Policy.
Advertising
The free version shows a small number of interstitial ads served by Google AdMob. Ad delivery involves Google processing device information (such as device model, IP address, and — only if you allow it — the advertising identifier).
App Tracking Transparency: on first launch of an ad session, iOS asks whether the app may track you. If you decline (or have "Allow Apps to Request to Track" off), ads still show but are not personalised, and the advertising identifier is not available to Google. Nothing else in the app changes.
In the EU/EEA, Switzerland and the UK you will see a consent dialog (Google's certified consent framework) before any ad loads, and you can change your choice in the app's settings at any time.
Buying Chimp Recall Pro removes the ad SDK's activity entirely. See how Google uses ad data.
Sharing a score
Tapping Share hands a line of text to iOS's own share sheet. You choose where it goes; the app never sends it anywhere, and we never see it or know that you shared. The text ends with a link to our App Store page.
That link carries a marker (ct=share) telling Apple the visit came from
a shared score rather than from search. Apple reports this back to us only as
aggregate counts — how many installs came from shares in total. It is
not tied to you, to the person you sent it to, or to any device.
Ratings
The app may occasionally ask you to rate it. That prompt is presented by iOS itself, the rating goes to Apple, and the app is not told what you chose or whether you responded at all.
What we don't do
- No accounts, and no collection of your name, email, or contacts.
- No third-party analytics SDKs.
- No selling of data — we have nothing to sell.
- No servers of our own. Nothing you do in the app is uploaded to us.
Children
The app is suitable for all ages and, where consent frameworks apply, ads for users under the age of consent are served non-personalised.
Changes
If a future version changes any of the above, this page will be updated before that version ships, and the App Store privacy label will be kept in sync.
