The short version: Findfold stores your game settings, scores and statistics locally on your device. It does not require an account or send your word history to Apps by Lewis. The app uses Google AdMob to show banner and interstitial advertising, and offers an optional Remove Ads purchase through Apple.
Who this policy applies to
This policy explains how Apps by Lewis, operated by Lewis Moon in the United Kingdom, handles information in connection with the Findfold iPhone app and its support website.
Information stored by the app
Findfold stores your settings and gameplay statistics—including high scores, games played, word totals, best word and sound and haptic preferences—locally on your device.
This information is used only to provide the game and its statistics features. Findfold does not transmit your word history, scores or gameplay statistics to Apps by Lewis.
Advertising
Findfold uses Google AdMob to display banner advertising and interstitial advertising at natural breaks between rounds. Google and its advertising partners may process information such as device identifiers, IP address, advertising interactions and diagnostic information to provide, measure and protect advertising. The information processed depends on your region, device settings and privacy choices.
Where required, Findfold asks for your consent before requesting advertising. You can review or change your choices using the Ad Privacy Choices option in the app.
For more information about how Google handles information, see Google’s privacy policy and How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services.
Remove Ads purchase
Findfold offers an optional non-consumable Remove Ads purchase. Purchases are processed by Apple through the App Store. Apps by Lewis does not receive your payment-card details. The app receives purchase status from Apple so it can remove advertising and restore the purchase on your devices.
Apple handles purchase information according to Apple’s privacy policy.
Information we do not collect
Findfold does not:
- require you to create an account;
- send your word history, scores or gameplay statistics to Apps by Lewis;
- collect first-party analytics about how you play;
- sell your gameplay information; or
- access your contacts, photos, calendar, microphone or precise location.
Device backups
Your device’s operating system or backup provider may include app data in a device backup, depending on your settings. Any such backup is controlled by you and the relevant platform provider, not by Apps by Lewis.
Support emails
If you choose to contact support, Apps by Lewis receives your email address, message and any information you voluntarily include. This information is used to respond to your request and may be retained where reasonably necessary to manage support or legal obligations.
This website
This website does not use analytics, advertising trackers or non-essential cookies. Its hosting provider may process standard technical request information—such as IP address, browser type and request time—to deliver and protect the website.
Deleting your information
Uninstalling Findfold removes its locally stored settings and gameplay statistics from the device, subject to any device backups you control. Purchase records are maintained by Apple and remain available for restoration.
To ask for deletion of support correspondence, email lewis@appsbylewis.com.
Children
Findfold is a general-audience word game and is not directed to children under 13.
Security
Keeping your gameplay data on your device reduces unnecessary transmission, but no storage method is completely secure. Protect your device with an appropriate passcode and keep its operating system up to date.
Changes to this policy
If Findfold’s data practices change, this policy will be updated before or alongside the relevant app update. The effective date at the top of this page shows when the policy was last revised.
