Riveting Privacy Policy
Effective date: November 13, 2026
This policy tells you how the Riveting app for iPhone (“Riveting”, “the game”) uses data. J.P. Thompson makes Riveting (“we”, “us”).
Summary
Riveting does not collect your personal data. The game does not send data to us or to other companies. It has no accounts, no ads, no analytics and no tracking.
Data that stays on your iPhone
The game keeps these items on your iPhone only:
- Your current run: the map, your cores, relics, health and the run seed. The game deletes this when the run ends.
- Your profile: your progress, hero ranks, best scores, daily streak, achievements and the creatures and items that you have seen. If the profile file is damaged, the game keeps a copy of it on your iPhone so that your progress is not lost.
- Your settings: sound, music, volume, haptics, screen shake, left-hand mode, reduce motion and your core trail choice.
- Your app icon choice.
We cannot see these items. They do not leave your iPhone, except in a backup that you make (see below).
The daily run uses the date on your iPhone to choose the board. The game does not send this date anywhere.
Purchases
The full game is an in-app purchase. Apple processes the purchase through the App Store. We do not get your name, email, payment card or Apple Account details. Apple tells the game only if you own the full game. Apple’s Privacy Policy applies to the purchase.
Backups
If you use iCloud Backup or back up your iPhone to a computer, iOS can include the game’s files in that backup. Apple or your computer keeps that backup, not us.
Crash reports and data from Apple
Riveting does not include crash-report or analytics software. If you let your iPhone “Share with App Developers” (Settings > Privacy & Security > Analytics & Improvements), Apple can send us crash reports and usage numbers. Apple removes data that identifies you before it sends them. If you test the game with TestFlight, the feedback and crash reports that you send go to us through Apple. You can turn sharing off at any time in the iPhone Settings app.
Email to us
If you send an email to support@riveting.app, we get your email address and your message. We use them only to answer you. We do not sell them or give them to others. Ask us, and we will delete them.
Children
Riveting does not collect personal data from anyone, including children under 13.
Delete your data
To delete all game data, delete Riveting from your iPhone. This deletes your runs, profile and settings. Your purchase stays with your Apple Account: tap “Restore purchases” after you install the game again.
