Privacy Policy

For the Meeplestack app · Last updated 5 November 2026

📱 Your devices and your iCloud🙅 No account or analytics🔒 No personal data collected

1. No Data Collection

Meeplestack does not collect, store or share any personal data. There is no account, and the app contains no analytics, advertising or tracking SDKs.

2. Data Storage

Your games, plays, players, scores, photos and settings are stored on your device, using Apple’s SwiftData framework. If you’re signed in to iCloud, your games, plays and players also sync between your devices through your private iCloud database (Apple’s CloudKit). That copy belongs to your Apple Account, and we can’t access it. The board game catalogue and box art are downloaded to each device and aren’t synced.

Home screen widgets read a summary through an App Group on the same device, and the Apple Watch app gets the same summary and your list of games from your iPhone. Nothing is uploaded to us.

3. Online Services

To find games, Meeplestack contacts these services directly from your device. They receive only what is needed to answer the request, and we never see it:

Board game catalogue: the ranked game list is downloaded from a public GitHub repository.
BoardGameGeek: box art and game details are loaded from BoardGameGeek. If you import your plays, the BoardGameGeek username you enter is sent to BoardGameGeek, and the optional BoardGameGeek token you add is kept in your device’s Keychain.
More from David Whicker: Settings downloads a public list of David Whicker’s other apps from davidwhicker.dev. No personal data or identifiers are sent.

4. Purchases

Meeplestack Pro is sold through Apple’s App Store using StoreKit. Apple handles the payment, and we never see your payment details or Apple Account. The app only asks Apple whether you own Pro, and that check happens on your device. Pro is a one-time purchase that you can share with your family through Family Sharing. Use Restore Purchases in the app to unlock it on a new device.

5. Data Sharing

Your data is never shared with anyone. It leaves your device only when you choose to share it, for example by exporting your plays to CSV or sharing your year in review.

6. Your Rights

You control all of your data. You can delete games, plays and players in the app, and deletions sync to your other devices. Deleting the app removes its data from that device. To delete the iCloud copy, go to Settings › [your name] › iCloud › Manage Storage, or visit privacy.apple.com.

7. Children

Meeplestack is suitable for all ages and collects no data from anyone, including children.

8. Changes

We may update this Privacy Policy occasionally. When we do, we will update the “Last updated” date at the top of this page.
