Privacy Policy

FlipFriends is a memory-matching game for children and families. It doesn't collect any information about you or your child. There are no accounts, ads, analytics or tracking, and nothing is sent to the developer. The App Store lists the app as “Data Not Collected”.

None. FlipFriends doesn't collect, store, sell or share personal information. It has no servers of its own and sends nothing to its developer.

FlipFriends keeps the following on the device, where only the app can read it. It is deleted when the app is deleted.

• Game progress: stars, best scores, stickers, stamps and achievements.
• Settings: sound, music, vibration, time limit and reminder choices.
• Photo worlds: card-sized copies of the photos a grownup adds (see below).

A grownup, after answering the in-app parental gate, can make a deck of cards (a “photo world”) from photos on the device.

• Picking photosuses Apple's system photo picker. The app receives only the photos chosen and doesn't need access to the photo library.
• Surprise Measks for permission to the photo library, then picks photos at random on the device. An on-device check (Apple's Vision framework) skips pictures that are mostly text. It doesn't read the text or recognize anyone.
• The app keeps resized copies of the chosen photos, with location and other metadata removed. Removing a world deletes its copies.

From version 2.2, a grownup, behind the parental gate, can share a photo world as a file through the device's share sheet (for example AirDrop, Messages or Mail) with people they choose. The file holds the world's photos (resized, without location or other metadata), its name, card back and music choice, and nothing else. Stars and progress aren't included.

The file goes directly between the people sharing it, by the method they pick. It never passes through the developer, who never receives, stores or sees it. Anyone who receives the file can see its photos, so share worlds only with people you trust.

Opening a shared world asks a grownup to answer the parental gate before anything is shown. The world is added to the device only if the grownup chooses Add World.

FlipFriends uses services provided by Apple, which handle data under Apple's own privacy policy.

• Game Center:if the player is signed in to Game Center, scores and achievements are sent to Apple's Game Center. The developer doesn't receive any Game Center account information. Opening Game Center from the app is behind the parental gate.
• Notifications:optional reminders are scheduled on the device. They're off until turned on in Settings, and the system asks for permission first.
• Ratings:the app may now and then show Apple's standard rating prompt.

FlipFriends doesn't include any third-party analytics, advertising, tracking or social services. Links out of the app (this policy and the App Store's review page) are behind the parental gate.

FlipFriends is made for children and is designed so that no personal information is collected from them. Features for grownups, such as photo worlds, sharing, links and Game Center, are behind a parental gate. The developer doesn't knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 (or the equivalent age in your country).

flipfriends.io has no accounts, cookies, analytics or advertising. The feedback form sends only what's typed into it, when Send Feedback is pressed, through Web3Forms, which delivers it by email to the developer. An email address in the form is used only to reply. The form is for grownups.

This policy may be updated from time to time. The date at the top shows when it last changed.
