High Card Flip — Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 15, 2026

Overview

High Card Flip is designed with privacy in mind. The app does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data to external servers. Everything stays on your device.

Data Stored on Your Device

The following information is stored locally on your iPhone using standard iOS storage (UserDefaults). This data never leaves your device:

• Player name — The first name you enter when you first open the app. Used to identify you to other players during a game.
• Card back color preference — Your chosen card back design.
• Best streak score — Your highest Higher/Lower streak.
• Game session count — The number of times you've hosted a multiplayer game. Used to determine when the one-time purchase prompt appears.
• Device identifier — A short random string generated on first launch, used solely to differentiate your device from others on the local network. This is not tied to your Apple ID or any personal information.

Networking

High Card Flip uses Apple's Network framework to connect with nearby players over your local network. This connection:

• Works without WiFi or internet
• Does not route through any server
• Only transmits game data (card values, countdown signals, player names) directly between nearby devices
• Is active only while you are in a multiplayer game session

No data is sent to us or any third party during gameplay.

In-App Purchase

High Card Flip offers a one-time $0.99 purchase to unlock unlimited multiplayer. This transaction is processed entirely by Apple through the App Store. We never receive or store your payment information, Apple ID, or any financial data.

Analytics and Tracking

High Card Flip does not use any analytics frameworks, tracking pixels, advertising SDKs, or third-party services. We do not collect usage data, crash reports, or behavioral metrics.

Children's Privacy

High Card Flip does not knowingly collect any information from children. The app does not require an account, does not connect to the internet, and stores no personal data beyond a first name entered by the user.

Local Network Permission

The app requests Local Network access to discover and connect with nearby players for multiplayer gameplay. This permission is required only for multiplayer. If denied, solo mode works normally. No network traffic leaves your local area — all communication is device-to-device.

Data Deletion

Since all data is stored locally on your device, deleting the app removes all stored data permanently. There is nothing to request deletion of — we don't have your data.

Changes to This Policy

If we update this policy, the changes will be reflected on this page with an updated date. Since the app does not collect data, changes are unlikely.
