Punchwork: Privacy Policy

Last updated: 30 October 2026 · Applies to Punchwork version 1.0 on iOS, Android and the web

The short version

Punchwork does not collect, sell or share any personal data. Your game lives on your device. If you choose to, you can share anonymous play data to help tune the game; it is off unless you turn it on.

What stays on your device

• Your current run (so you can continue later), your Loom Book progress and your settings are saved in the app's local storage on your device.
• This data is never sent to us or to anyone else. Deleting the app deletes it.

Optional: sharing play data

In Settings → Play data you can turn on Share play data. It is off by default. While it is on:

• What is sent: how you play: the run's setup (robot, mode, difficulty, seed), the stops you move to, the cards you play and their targets, lessons met, fight results, and the app version and platform (iOS, Android or web).
• What is never sent: your name, email, account, contacts, location, advertising or device identifiers. Each device that turns sharing on gets a random install id, not linked to you.
• Why: only to balance and improve Punchwork. It is never sold, never shared and never used for advertising.
• Where: stored with Cloudflare (our hosting provider) and read only by the developer.
• Seeing it: Settings → Play data → See what is sent shows the exact data waiting to go.
• Stopping and deleting: turning sharing off stops it immediately and deletes everything sent from that device.

What we don't do

• No accounts and no sign-in.
• No tracking or advertising identifiers, and no analytics unless you turn on Share play data.
• No advertising in this version.
• No location, contacts, camera, microphone or photos access.

Purchases

If you buy something in Punchwork, the purchase is handled by Apple's App Store or Google Play under their own privacy policies. We only receive confirmation that a purchase is valid so the game can unlock it; we don't receive your name or payment details.

Children

Punchwork is suitable for all ages and does not knowingly collect any information from anyone, including children.

Changes

If a future version adds anything that handles data (for example optional ads), this page will be updated before that version is released, and the change will be described here.
