Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 26, 2026

Dear User,

Thank you for using Brinefleck, an application provided by Marten Ashlar. This Privacy Policy explains what information is handled when you use the application, why it is handled, and the choices available to you. Brinefleck includes third-party advertising and analytics software (described below), so some information is collected through those services.

By accessing or using the application, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to this Privacy Policy.

1. Information We Collect and How It Is Used

The application integrates third-party software that collects the categories of data listed below. "Used to Track You" means the data may be shared with third parties to deliver personalized advertising or to measure advertising performance across other companies' apps and websites.

Collected, linked to you, and used to track you:

• Device ID — device and advertising identifiers (such as the IDFA). Purposes: third-party advertising, developer's advertising, analytics, app functionality.
• Advertising Data — information about the advertisements you see and interact with. Purposes: third-party advertising, developer's advertising, analytics.
• Product Interaction — how you use the application (for example taps, screens viewed, and session information). Purposes: third-party advertising, developer's advertising, analytics, app functionality.
• User ID — user-level identifiers used for advertising. Purpose: third-party advertising.
• Coarse Location — approximate location, generally inferred at city level from your network connection. Purposes: third-party advertising, developer's advertising, analytics, app functionality.
• Performance Data — measurements about application performance and stability. Purposes: third-party advertising, developer's advertising, analytics, app functionality.
• Other Data — other usage-related data that does not fall into the categories above. Purposes: third-party advertising, developer's advertising, analytics, app functionality.

Collected but not used to track you (not linked to you):

• Crash Data — crash diagnostics. Purpose: analytics.
• Other Diagnostic Data — additional diagnostic data. Purposes: third-party advertising, developer's advertising, analytics, app functionality.

2. Third-Party Services

The application uses the following third-party services, which may process the data categories listed above:

• Adjust — attribution and analytics. See the Adjust privacy policy: https://www.adjust.com/privacy-policy-en/.
• AppLovin MAX — advertising mediation. AppLovin MAX connects to multiple third-party advertising networks to fill ad requests, and data may be forwarded to those partner networks. See the AppLovin privacy policy: https://www.applovin.com/privacy/.

Each service processes information under its own privacy policy. We encourage you to review those policies.

3. Tracking Transparency (ATT)

The first time the application requests tracking, iOS displays the App Tracking Transparency prompt.

• If you tap Allow, the identifiers listed above may be used and shared with our advertising and analytics partners as described in this policy, which helps keep advertisements relevant and lets us measure their performance.
• If you tap Don't Allow, the app honors that choice; advertising will be less personalized and measurement will be limited.

You can change this decision at any time in Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking on your device.

4. Information Kept Only on Your Device

Your play records in Brinefleck — batches sealed, your current streak, ledger entries and their counts, and your preferences (sound, haptics, board size) — are stored only on your device using standard iOS local storage. This information is not uploaded to any server and is not part of any of the data categories listed in Section 1.

The application does not use the camera, the microphone, or your photo library.

5. Managing Your Data

• To clear the information kept on your device, use Settings → Reset inside the application (it asks for confirmation before erasing your local records), or delete the application from your device.
• For data processed by Adjust or AppLovin MAX, you may exercise your rights directly with those services under their privacy policies (links in Section 2).
• You may withdraw tracking consent at any time via Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking.

6. Children

The application is intended for a general audience and is not directed at children. If you are a parent or guardian and believe a child has provided personal information through the third-party services described above, please contact us using the address below and we will work with the relevant service to address the request.

7. Data Security

Information processed by the third-party services above is protected by their own security measures. Information kept on your device is protected by your device's standard iOS security.

8. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in legal requirements, third-party services, or application functionality. Continued use of the application after such changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
