Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 13, 2026

The short version

EmberCoves is a fully local iOS game. We do not have a backend, we do not run analytics, and we do not collect, store, or transmit any personal data about you or your device. Your worlds, inventory, and progress live on your device only.

What we collect

Nothing. Specifically:

• No accounts, sign-ups, or logins
• No telemetry, crash reporting, or usage analytics
• No advertising identifiers or tracking
• No location data
• No contacts, photos, microphone, or camera access
• No network requests of any kind from the app itself

What's stored on your device

EmberCoves saves game state — your generated worlds, inventory, player position, day/night time, and settings — to local storage on your device. This data never leaves your phone. If you delete the app, this data is removed with it.

iCloud and backups

EmberCoves does not actively sync to iCloud. However, if you have iCloud Backup enabled for your device, Apple may include the app's local data in your standard device backup. That is between you and Apple — we have no access to it.

Children's privacy

EmberCoves does not knowingly collect any personal information from anyone, including children. Since we collect nothing, there is nothing to disclose, sell, or share.

Third-party services

The app itself uses no third-party SDKs that transmit data. The App Store listing and downloads are handled by Apple under Apple's privacy policy.

Changes to this policy

If EmberCoves ever adds an opt-in feature that involves any data leaving your device (e.g. iCloud sync, world sharing), we will update this page first and require explicit opt-in inside the app. We will never silently change what data is collected.
