Privacy Policy

Artile · Last updated June 11, 2026

Artile is a quiet game. We built its privacy the same way: the app collects almost nothing, and what little it does collect can't be traced back to you.

The short version

Artile has no server and no user accounts in the cloud. Your name, your progress, your settings, all of it lives on your iPhone and nowhere else. The only thing that ever leaves your device is anonymous usage statistics. We don't show ads, we don't track you, and we have nothing to sell because we never see who you are.

What stays on your device

Sign in with Apple. Apple gives the app an anonymous identifier, stored in your device's secure Keychain. If you share your name or email at sign-in, they're saved on your phone only, to show on your profile. We never receive them.

Your age. Setup asks your age once, to pick a sensible starting content level. The number itself is thrown away immediately; only a rough tier (child, teen, adult) is kept, on your device.

Your game. Finished paintings, best times, half-solved puzzles, filters, and settings are stored on your phone and travel only inside your own device backups.

The one thing we do collect

We use TelemetryDeck, a privacy-first analytics service based in Germany, to answer questions like "how many puzzles were finished today?" and "which difficulty do people actually play?" These signals are anonymized before we ever see them: no names, no emails, no IP addresses, no advertising IDs, and they cannot be linked back to any person. The data is processed in the European Union. Under GDPR, our legal basis for this is legitimate interest in understanding and improving the game.

Children

Children are welcome in Artile, and they get the same deal as everyone: nothing personal leaves the device. There's also a For Kids filter that hides unsuitable artworks and needs Face ID or the device passcode to switch off, so a child can't undo it.

Deleting your data

Your data is yours, on your phone. Delete the app and it's gone. Signing out (Profile → Sign Out) removes the stored Apple identifier. To cut the tie to Apple completely: iOS Settings → your name → Sign-In & Security → Sign in with Apple → Artile → Stop Using.

When things change

If a future update changes how Artile handles data, say, when we add purchases (handled by Apple), we'll update this page first and note it in the app if it matters.
