Privacy Policy

Unearth · v1.0

Last Updated: September 1, 2026  |  Effective: September 1, 2026  |  App Version: 1.0

1. Data We Collect

None. Unearth v1.0 does not collect, transmit, sell, or share any personal data. It has no advertising SDKs, no analytics SDKs, no crash-reporting SDKs, and no third-party trackers of any kind. This page has no list of advertising partners or tracking domains because there are none.

Apple's App Store privacy label for this version reads “Data Not Collected,” and the app's PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy manifest declares no tracking and no data linked to you. If you ever find the app doing something that contradicts this, please email us at the address below — we will treat that as a bug.

2. What Stays on Your Device

Unearth saves two things, both stored locally through Apple's own on-device mechanisms and never sent anywhere:

• Your control settings — turn speed and idle motion — stored in Apple's per-app UserDefaults (declared in our manifest with required-reason API code CA92.1, "access to information from the app itself").
• Your collection of finds — the artifacts you've uncovered, saved as a small file in the app's private Application Support folder so your shelf is still there next time you play.

Both of these:

• ✅ Stay on your device only
• ✅ Are never sent to our servers (we don't run any) and never shared with anyone
• ✅ Are deleted when you delete the app

3. No Accounts, No Servers

There is no sign-in, no profile, and no cloud. Unearth has no backend of its own. Nothing you do in the app is reported to us or to any third party.

4. Device Permissions

Unearth v1.0 uses only these device features, and none of them involve collecting or transmitting data:

• Haptic Feedback: gentle taps as you brush, on supported iPhones. (iPads have no Taptic Engine, so the experience there is audio-only.)
• Audio Playback: the brushing sounds, generated on-device. No streaming, no microphone.

Unearth does not request access to your microphone, camera, photo library, location services, contacts, calendar, health data, or the network. It does not use your device's advertising identifier and never shows an App Tracking Transparency prompt, because it does no tracking.

5. Accessibility

Unearth honors your system Reduce Motion setting: when it's on, the pot's idle drift is calmed. This preference is read from iOS at runtime and is never stored or transmitted.

6. Age and Audience

Unearth is a calm, non-violent game and is rated 13+ on the App Store. Because we collect no data at all, we collect none from children.

7. Changes to This Policy

This URL is pinned to v1.0 of the app. If a future version adds anything that collects or shares data — for example, if advertising is ever introduced — that version will ship with its own dedicated privacy policy URL (for example /unearth/v1.1/privacy) and App Store Connect's Privacy Policy URL will be updated to match. The disclosures on this page will not be retroactively rewritten, so the promise made to the v1.0 build stays true for anyone still running it.
