This Privacy Policy explains what Pinbury (the "App") does with information about you and about the people you keep score for, and the rights you have. Section 2 is a short summary; the sections after it give the detail, and they apply if the two ever seem to differ.
1. Who We Are
Pinbury is a ten-pin bowling score keeper for iPhone and iPad, published by Creative Adventures Lab, a French société par actions simplifiée à associé unique (SASU) registered in Paris ("we", "us", "our"). Full legal details are in Section 13, which also names the data controller for the purposes of the EU General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR"). On the App Store, the App may be listed under a longer, descriptive name that includes "Pinbury"; it is the same app. In this policy, "iPhone" also means an iPad on which you use the App.
2. The Short Version
- What you enter stays on your iPhone. Your bowlers, games, leagues and balls are kept in the App's private storage on your iPhone and are never sent to us.
- There are no accounts. No sign-up, no email address, no password, no profile on any server of ours.
- No analytics, no advertising, no tracking. The App contains no analytics, advertising, crash-reporting or install-attribution software, and never asks to track you.
- The App asks for no permissions. No location, camera, microphone, photos, contacts or notifications.
- If you buy Pro, Apple handles the payment. We never see your card or your Apple Account details.
- The age check happens on your iPhone. The App is for people aged 16 and over. Where an age-assurance law applies to you, it asks Apple for a broad age range only (never your date of birth or exact age) and does not store the answer (Section 3.4).
- One small server, no stored data. We run one internet endpoint, hosted by Railway, that receives notices Apple's servers send about the App and checks them. It keeps no database, only short-lived operational logs that identify no one (Section 3.5).
- Your backups include it; we hold no copy. Restoring an iCloud or computer backup to a new iPhone brings the App's data back. We never receive it. Without a backup, deleting the App or losing your iPhone loses it (Section 3.3).
- One small record can outlast the App. To apply the free plan's monthly game allowance, the App counts the games started each month in your iPhone's Keychain, so that deleting and reinstalling the App does not reset the count. That record holds no score and no name, is never sent to us, and iOS usually keeps it when the App is deleted (Section 3.8).
- You are in control. You can see, correct, export and delete what you entered inside the App, and delete everything by deleting the App, apart from the game count in Section 3.8.
3. What the App Stores, and Why
3.1 What You Enter Stays on Your iPhone
Everything you enter is written to the App's private storage on your iPhone. It is not sent to us, and we have no way to read it. It is included in the iCloud or computer backups of your iPhone that you make (Section 3.3); in this policy, "on your device" includes those backups. It includes, for example:
- Bowlers: the names you type, for yourself and for the people you keep score for, and the details you add about them, such as a colour or a starting average.
