What the app stores, and where

On the phone, in the app's own settings storage (iOS UserDefaults), and mirrored to your own iCloud key-value storage (Apple's service, tied to your Apple Account). We cannot see either one.

WhatWhyWhere in the code

None of this includes your name, email, contacts, location or anything typed except the guesses in Five Letters, which are not saved.

Game Center (Apple)

  • If you are signed in to Game Center, the app sends your scores to its leaderboards, reports achievements you earn, and runs online versus matches through Game Center turn-based matches.
  • A versus match carries only what the game needs: the board seed, which game is played, and each player's score.
  • Friends list: if you tap Show my friends when picking a rival, iOS asks whether One More may see your Game Center friends. The list is shown on your phone so you can pick one; it is not saved or sent anywhere. Say no and everything else still works.
  • Other players see your Game Center nickname and scores according to your Game Center settings. Apple runs Game Center under Apple's Privacy Policy; we do not receive your Apple Account details.
  • Not signed in? Every game, the daily challenge, ranks, unlocks and same-phone versus still work. Only the world leaderboards and online versus need Game Center.

What the app does NOT do

  • No servers of ours. The only places data goes are your iCloud and, if you use it, Game Center — both Apple's.
  • No third-party code. No advertising, analytics, crash-reporting or social SDKs.
  • One optional permission: your Game Center friends list, only when you ask to see it. The app never asks for the camera, microphone, photos, location, contacts or notifications.
  • No purchases today. Everything in the app is free and every unlock is earned by playing. If paid options are ever added, this policy will say so first.
  • Five Letters checks whether a guess is a real word with Apple's built-in spell checker, on the phone.

Children

One More is a general-audience game. We collect no personal information from anyone, including children. Game Center has its own age rules and parental controls, set in iOS Screen Time.

Your choices

  • Leave Game Center out: sign out of Game Center in iOS Settings, or never sign in. The app keeps working.
  • Stop iCloud sync: iOS Settings › your name › iCloud lets you turn off iCloud for apps.
  • Forget everything on this phone: delete the app. The iCloud copy can be removed in iOS Settings › your name › iCloud › Manage Account Storage.
  • Game Center data: manage or remove it in iOS Settings › Game Center, under Apple's terms.

Changes

If a future version ever sends anything else off the device, or adds purchases, this policy will change first and the release notes will say so.
