Privacy policy

1. About this policy

This policy explains how information is handled when you use the Iris color puzzle app and this website. “Iris,” “we,” and “us” refer to the provider of Iris. For privacy questions or requests, contact hello@zalle.win.

We aim to keep Iris simple: you do not need an Iris account, and the app does not include advertising or third-party tracking SDKs.

2. What stays on your device

Iris stores the information it needs to remember your journey locally on your device:

• Your current puzzle, tile positions, completed levels, and collected mosaics.
• Your daily Moment progress and saved play sessions.
• Preferences such as language, sound, haptic feedback, dismissed guidance, and the reflection you last saw.
• Playtest notes, including level, moves, solving time, and puzzle results.

The app does not automatically send this gameplay information to an Iris server. Device or cloud backups managed by your operating system may include app data, depending on your settings; those backups are controlled by you and your platform provider.

3. Purchases and Apple

In-app purchases and purchase restoration are handled by Apple through the App Store. Iris uses Apple’s verified transaction information to determine whether the full journey is unlocked. We do not receive your payment-card details.

Apple handles payment, account, and transaction information under its own privacy policy. Apple may also make aggregate sales information or diagnostics available to developers according to its services and your sharing preferences. This is separate from Iris’s locally stored puzzle data.

4. Information you choose to share

If you email hello@zalle.win, we receive your email address, the contents of your message, and any attachments or details you provide. We use that information to answer your question, provide support, and address the issue you reported.

The app’s “Share playtest notes” action is optional. It opens your device’s share sheet so you decide whether to share a report, with whom, and through which service. Notes are not uploaded automatically. If you send them to us, we may use them to understand problems and improve puzzle design.

Please avoid including passwords, payment information, or other sensitive information in a support message.

5. Visiting this website

The website does not add advertising trackers, third-party analytics, or a marketing signup database. Fonts and artwork are served with the site. The small interactive color study runs in your browser; its moves are not sent to us and reset when you reload the page.

Serving a website requires its hosting and security providers to process technical request information, which may include your IP address, browser or device information, requested page, request time, and security logs. They may use essential security or authentication cookies. A restricted preview may require the hosting provider’s sign-in. Those platform services are governed by the provider’s terms and privacy policy, including OpenAI’s Privacy Policy for a ChatGPT-hosted site.

Links to Apple or your email service take you to services that operate under their own policies.

6. Use, sharing, and retention

We use information you voluntarily send us to provide support, investigate reported problems, maintain security, and meet applicable legal obligations. We do not sell personal information or share it for targeted advertising.

Service providers such as email and hosting services may process information to deliver those services. Information may also be disclosed when required by law, to respond to a lawful request, or to protect the safety and rights of users or the service. Providers may process information in countries other than your own.

Local game data stays on your device until you remove it or the app. We keep support correspondence only for as long as reasonably needed to handle the request, maintain necessary support records, or meet a legal obligation. Hosting and platform records follow the relevant provider’s retention practices.

7. Your choices and requests

You can change language, sound, and haptic preferences in Iris Settings. You can choose not to share playtest notes. Deleting the app removes its local saved progress; separately managed device backups may remain until you remove them through your device or backup settings. Offloading an app may preserve its data.

To ask about, correct, or request deletion of information you have sent us, email hello@zalle.win. Depending on where you live, applicable law may give you additional rights to access, receive a copy of, restrict, or object to processing of your personal information, or complain to a data protection authority. We will handle requests as required by applicable law and may need to verify that a request relates to your information.

Where a legal basis is required, we rely on providing requested support or services, legitimate interests in security and responding to enquiries, your consent where applicable, or compliance with a legal obligation. You can withdraw optional consent without affecting processing that was lawful before withdrawal. We cannot retrieve gameplay data that only exists on your device.

8. Children’s privacy

Iris does not ask players to create an account or submit personal information to play. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children through the game. If you believe a child has sent us personal information, please contact hello@zalle.win so we can review and address it. Purchases and parental controls are managed through the App Store and your device settings.

9. Security and changes

We take reasonable care with information provided to us, but no transmission or storage system can be guaranteed completely secure. You can help by avoiding sensitive details in messages and protecting access to your device.

We may update this policy when the app, website, or our practices change. The effective date at the top will identify the latest version. Where required, we will provide additional notice or obtain consent for a material change.
