Privacy Policy
Who we are
Café Solitaire is a game made by Ihsan Firdaus, an independent developer. In this policy, "I" and "me" mean the developer. Questions about privacy go to cafesolitaire@ihsanfir.dev.
What stays on your device
Your progress (stars, Days played, the Day in progress, recipe stamps, décor, your café name) and your settings are stored on your device.
If iCloud is on, the same game data is synced through Apple's iCloud key-value storage to your own iCloud account, so it can reach your other devices. I cannot see or access it.
Purchases
Purchases are made through Apple. I never see your name, Apple Account, or payment details.
To confirm what you bought and restore it on your other devices, the game uses RevenueCat, a purchase service. When the game starts, and after a purchase or restore, RevenueCat receives the App Store purchase record with a random anonymous ID that RevenueCat creates, plus your device's language and region setting and currency. It never receives your name, email address or payment details.
I can see these anonymous records in RevenueCat as purchase history and sales charts. They are not linked to your identity, I have no way to tell who you are from them, and they are never used for advertising or tracking. RevenueCat's privacy policy: revenuecat.com/privacy.
Game Center
If you are signed in to Game Center, your achievements and leaderboard scores are handled by Apple under Apple's privacy policy. Other players may see your Game Center nickname on leaderboards, depending on your Game Center settings.
What the game does not do
No ads, no advertising IDs, no tracking across apps or websites, no analytics SDKs, no location, no contacts, no photos, no microphone. The game does not ask for any of these permissions.
If you chose to share analytics with app developers in iOS Settings, Apple may send me anonymous crash reports and usage statistics. You can turn this off in Settings, Privacy & Security, Analytics & Improvements.
This website
This website sets no cookies, runs no analytics and loads nothing from third parties; the fonts are served from this site. Like any web server, the hosting provider may keep short-lived technical logs (such as IP addresses) to keep the site secure and running.
If you pick a language, the site remembers it in your browser's local storage, on your device only.
Children
Café Solitaire is rated 4+ and is suitable for everyone. It has no accounts, no chat and no ads, and it does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone, including children.
Your choices
Deleting the game removes its data from your device. To stop syncing, turn iCloud off for the game in iOS Settings. If you would like the anonymous purchase record removed, or have any other request, write to cafesolitaire@ihsanfir.dev.
Depending on where you live (for example under the GDPR in the EU and UK, or the CCPA in California), you have the right to access, correct or delete personal data. Because the game holds no data that identifies you, there is usually nothing to hand over, but I will gladly help.
Changes
If this policy changes, the new version will be posted on this page with a new date. Translations are provided for convenience; if they differ, the English version applies.
