Privacy Policy & Support

Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy describes how the Port Plunder mobile application (“App”, “we”, “us”) handles information. By using the App, you agree to this policy.

1. Summary

• The App is designed to work fully offline for core gameplay.
• We do not require an account or login.
• We do not include advertising SDKs.
• We do not include third-party analytics or tracking SDKs.
• Game progress and settings are stored on your device.
• Optional Apple services (Game Center, In-App Purchase) may process data under Apple’s policies when you use them.

2. Who we are

Port Plunder is published by the independent developer listed in the Contact section. For privacy questions, use the email below.

3. Information stored on your device

The App stores the following locally (for example via on-device preferences), including:

• Gameplay progress (e.g. match wins, matches played, daily challenge flags)
• Settings (sound, haptics, preferred difficulty, Game Center preference)
• Cosmetic unlocks and selected card frame
• Supporter / tip unlock state after a successful purchase or restore
• Onboarding flags (e.g. whether you have seen rules or privacy intro)

This data stays on your device unless you back up or transfer your device using Apple system tools (e.g. iCloud Backup), which are controlled by Apple and your device settings.

4. Information we do not collect

The App does not itself collect, upload, or sell:

• Name, email, or account credentials (we don’t operate accounts)
• Precise location
• Contacts, photos, microphone, or camera content
• Advertising identifiers for tracking across apps/websites
• Analytics events from third-party analytics SDKs
• Payment card numbers (purchases are handled by Apple)

5. Optional Apple services

5.1 Game Center (optional)

In Settings you may enable optional Game Center integration. If enabled and you are signed into Game Center with your Apple ID, the App may submit scores to leaderboards, for example:

• portplunder.wins — lifetime wins
• portplunder.daily — daily challenge-related score

Game Center identity, authentication, and leaderboard processing are provided by Apple. Use of Game Center is subject to Apple’s Privacy Policy and Game Center terms. You can disable the App’s Game Center option in Settings; gameplay still works offline.

5.2 In-App Purchases (optional tip)

The App may offer an optional one-time non-consumable tip:

• Product ID: com.portplunder.support.coffee
• Purpose: support the developer
• Rewards: cosmetic only (e.g. Patron Prism card frame and Core Patron badge)
• No gameplay power, ads removal is N/A (there are no ads), and no pay-to-win content

Payments, receipts, refunds, and purchase restoration are processed by Apple through StoreKit / the App Store. We do not receive your full payment card details. See Apple’s Privacy Policy for how Apple handles purchase data.

6. Tracking and App Tracking Transparency

The App is not designed to track you across other companies’ apps and websites for advertising. We do not use a third-party advertising identifier for that purpose.

7. Children

The App is a general-audience card strategy game and is not directed at children under 13 as a “kids” product. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information to us directly (e.g. by email), contact us and we will delete it.

8. Data retention and deletion

Local game data remains on your device until you delete the App, clear App data, or reset the device. Uninstalling the App removes local App data stored in the App container (subject to any device backups you keep).

To remove optional Game Center association, manage Game Center / Apple ID settings with Apple. To manage purchases, use your Apple ID purchase history and App Store settings.

9. Security

We design the App to minimize data exposure by keeping progress on-device and avoiding third-party tracking SDKs. No method of electronic storage is 100% secure. Optional network use is limited to Apple services you choose to use (Game Center / App Store).

10. International users

The App may be available in multiple regions via the App Store. Local data is processed on your device. Apple may process service data in various locations under Apple’s terms.

11. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top will change when we do. Continued use of the App after changes means you accept the updated policy. Material changes may also be reflected in App Store privacy details.

12. Your choices

• Play fully offline without enabling Game Center
• Decline or ignore optional In-App Purchases — the full game remains free
• Turn off the Game Center option in App Settings
• Control device backups, Screen Time, and Apple ID privacy in iOS Settings
• Delete the App to remove local App data from the device

13. Contact for privacy requests

For privacy questions or requests, email kservice-support@proton.me. We will respond within a reasonable time.
