Privacy Policy

180 Darts — last updated 3 August 2026

1. Who we are

180 Darts (the "App") is published by an independent developer ("we", "us"). For privacy questions, contact us at 180dartapp@proton.me. The data controller for personal data processed by the App, where applicable, is the publisher of the App on the App Store.

2. Data we collect, how, and why

2.1 Data you create inside the App

The App stores the following information on your device, in Apple's local Core Data store:

• Player profiles you create — name, avatar colour, optional emoji.
• Matches you score — game mode, round-by-round dart throws, scores, timestamps, the player who threw each dart.
• Your local identity — a name and a randomly generated identity ID used to mark "you" in matches across your own devices.
• Your dart customization — the colours and finishes you select for the 3D dart components.
• Your in-app preferences — visual theme (Warm / Casino), light/dark mode, onboarding completion flag.

This data lives on your device. The App does not transmit it to any server we control.

2.2 iCloud synchronisation (optional)

If you have iCloud enabled on your device, the App uses Apple's NSPersistentCloudKitContainer to synchronise the data above across devices signed in to the same Apple ID. The data is stored in your private iCloud database, governed by Apple's Privacy Policy. We do not have access to it.

The App also uses Apple's iCloud key-value store (NSUbiquitousKeyValueStore) to sync a small amount of state across your devices — your local identity ID and whether you have accepted a friend's share invitation. This is held in your iCloud account and governed by Apple's policy; we do not have access to it.

You can disable iCloud sync at any time in iOS Settings → Apple ID → iCloud → Apps Using iCloud → 180 Darts.

2.3 CloudKit sharing with friends (optional)

If you choose to share matches with a specific friend, the App uses Apple's CKShare mechanism. You initiate the share via iMessage or AirDrop; your friend accepts the invite; from that moment on, both devices can see each other's matches that you placed inside the shared zone.

Sharing is opt-in per friend, and ends as soon as you remove that friend with Unfriend in the Players screen, which revokes their access to your share. The share is brokered entirely by Apple's CloudKit; we never see the contents.

2.4 Local notifications

The App may show local notifications on your device (for example, when a friend's match update arrives via iCloud). These notifications are generated on-device, and the App does not send marketing or content-bearing remote push notifications. It does, however, rely on Apple Push Notification service (APNs) for the silent background pushes that Apple's NSPersistentCloudKitContainer uses to keep your iCloud data in sync across devices. These silent pushes are managed by iOS and CloudKit, carry no content we can read, and are not used to message, profile, or track you.

2.5 Purchases

There are none. 180 Darts is free and contains no in-app purchases and no subscription, so the App never processes, receives, or stores any payment, billing, or receipt information.

3. Data we do NOT collect

• No analytics SDKs (no Firebase, no Mixpanel, no Amplitude, no Apple App Analytics opt-in beyond the system default).
• No advertising, no advertising identifier (IDFA), no ad networks.
• No social-login providers, no third-party authentication.
• No precise location, no contact list, no calendar, no microphone, no camera.
• No crash-reporter SDK that sends data off-device. Crash reports you choose to share with Apple via the system are governed by Apple's policy.

The App does not use any third-party SDKs that collect personal data.

4. Children's privacy

180 Darts is rated 4+ on the App Store and does not knowingly collect personal information from children. The App does not require an account, an email address, or any external sign-in, and contains no in-app purchases.

5. Your rights and how to exercise them

Because the data the App stores is in your iCloud account or on your device, you have direct, full control over it:

• Access — every match, player, and stat is visible inside the App at all times.
• Correction — players can be edited from Settings → Manage Players; matches can be edited or deleted from the History list.
• Deletion — Settings → iCloud → Clear iCloud Data wipes all matches, players, and pairings the App stores. Uninstalling the App from a device removes that device's local copy.
• Portability — you can request an export of the structured data your account holds by emailing the address below.
• Withdraw consent / Object — you can stop sharing with a friend at any time by resetting pairings in Settings.

We respond to verifiable requests within 30 days. Where applicable, you have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

6. Legal basis for processing (EU/UK users)

For users in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland, we process the limited data described above on the following legal bases under the GDPR / UK GDPR:

• Performance of a contract (Article 6(1)(b)) — to provide the scoring and statistics features you have asked the App to perform.
• Consent (Article 6(1)(a)) — for optional features such as iCloud sync and CloudKit sharing, which you must explicitly enable.
• Legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f)) — to keep the App secure and functional. Our interest here is balanced against your rights and is limited to on-device operations.

7. Data retention

Match and player data is retained on your device until you delete it or uninstall the App. iCloud data is retained until you delete it or close your iCloud account. We do not retain any of this data on our own servers because the App does not have any.

8. International transfers

Because we do not run a backend server, we do not transfer your personal data internationally. Apple iCloud may store your data on Apple's infrastructure in your country or region, governed by Apple's policy.

9. Security

Local data is stored in Apple's Core Data, protected by your device's encryption (iOS data protection class). iCloud data — including matches you share via CloudKit — is encrypted in transit and at rest on Apple's infrastructure; end-to-end encryption applies only if you have Apple's Advanced Data Protection enabled for your iCloud account.

10. Changes to this policy

If we update this policy materially, we will publish a new version with a new "last updated" date. For non-material changes (typo fixes, clearer wording), we will simply update the date.
