SuperFarkle collects nothing about you. There is no account to create, no analytics, no advertising, no third-party code of any kind, and no server for the app to talk to. The developer cannot see what you play, who you play with, or that you use the app at all.
The app keeps its data inside its own storage: the players you have added, their scores and career records, the game in progress, and your settings. It also keeps one older copy of that data beside it, so that a failed save cannot cost you your players and their records. Neither copy leaves your device except as described in the next section, and deleting the app deletes both.
When you start or join a game over “Play nearby”, the app connects directly to the other devices at your table using Apple’s Multipeer Connectivity, over Bluetooth or a local Wi-Fi link. Nothing goes through the internet, and no traffic reaches the developer or any other company.
Between those devices the app exchanges what the game needs: player names, scores, dice, the log of recent moves, and the match rules. Two more things travel with it:
These connections are encrypted by the operating system and only reach devices whose owners chose to join the same game.
While your table still has a free seat, the app announces it on the local network so that other devices can find it. The announcement carries the model name of your device together with the names of up to three players who are already at the table. Those player names are the ones somebody typed into the app, so they are the part of the announcement that can point at a person.
Anyone within Bluetooth or Wi-Fi range who has SuperFarkle open and is looking for a table will see that text, before they join and without you approving anything. If you would rather not show a name to strangers nearby, give that player a nickname instead. The announcement stops once every player at the table has a device of their own, once the table is full, or when you leave the table.
The app asks for one thing only: permission to use the local network and Bluetooth, so that it can find and reach the other devices playing with you. It makes no other network connections of any kind.
If you switch on rolling by shaking, the app reads the accelerometer while a game is on screen, so that it can notice the shake. iOS does not ask you for permission to read it. The readings are used at that moment to decide whether you shook the device, and they are never stored and never sent anywhere. When rolling by shaking is off, the app does not read the accelerometer at all.
The app is safe for any age in this respect: it collects no personal information from anyone, children included.
If this policy ever changes, the new version appears on this page with a new date.
