Codon Craft Privacy Policy
Effective date: 25 October 2026
Codon Craft is a puzzle game made by Chase Manning ("we", "us"). This policy explains what information the Codon Craft apps for iPhone, iPad and Android, and the Codon Craft web demo, collect and how it is used. The short version: we don't ask who you are, we don't show ads, and we don't track you.
Information we do not collect
Codon Craft has no accounts or sign in. We do not collect your name, email address, contacts, photos, location, microphone audio or any other personal information. We do not use advertising, advertising identifiers or third party tracking, and we do not sell or share personal information.
Information stored on your device
Your progress, saved machines, hints you have revealed and your settings are stored only on your device. They are not sent to us. If you choose to copy or share a save code from Settings, that code contains your game progress only, and where it goes is up to you. Deleting the app, or using Reset progress in Settings, removes your saved progress from the device.
Purchases
Codon Craft is free to start, with an optional one time purchase called the Full Archive. Purchases are processed entirely by Apple (App Store) or Google (Google Play) under their own privacy policies. We never see your payment details. The app only receives confirmation from the store of whether the Full Archive is owned, so it can unlock the rest of the game and restore it on your devices.
Anonymous usage statistics
To understand how the game is played and improve it, the iPhone, iPad and Android apps may send anonymous usage events using Aptabase (https://aptabase.com), a privacy focused analytics service. These events record things like the app starting, a puzzle being started or solved, a hint being revealed, and the Full Archive offer being viewed, purchased or restored, together with basic technical details such as the app version, operating system and version, language setting and an approximate country.
These events do not include your name, contact details, account identifiers, device identifiers or advertising identifiers, and they cannot be used to identify you or to track you across other apps or websites. According to Aptabase, IP addresses are used only to work out an approximate country and are not stored, and sessions use a temporary random identifier that is not linked to you or your device. We look at this information only in aggregate. The web demo does not send these events.
Children
Codon Craft is suitable for players of all ages. Because the game does not collect personal information from anyone, it does not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Your rights
Because we do not hold personal information about you, there is normally nothing for us to access, correct or delete. If you have any questions or requests about your privacy, including under the New Zealand Privacy Act 2020 or the EU and UK GDPR, please contact us and we will respond.
Changes to this policy
If we change how Codon Craft handles information, we will update this page and its effective date before the change takes effect.
