GameSlate — Privacy Policy

Effective date: 10 August 2026

GameSlate ("the app") is developed by Espinel ("we", "us", "our"). This policy explains how the app handles your information.

In short: GameSlate has no accounts with us, no analytics, and no tracking. We never collect, receive, or have access to your data. Your game data is stored on your device — and, if you turn on iCloud Sync, in your own private iCloud so it stays in step across your Apple devices.

Information we collect

None. GameSlate has no user accounts of ours and does not require you to sign in to us. All the data you create — players, games, scores, and history — is stored on your device using Apple's on-device storage. We have no access to it, and it is never sent to us or to any third party.

iCloud Sync

If you unlock the full version, you can turn on iCloud Sync (it is optional and can be switched off at any time in Settings). When it is on, your GameSlate data is stored in your own private iCloud account and kept in sync across the Apple devices signed in to the same Apple Account. This data lives in your private iCloud storage: it is not shared with us or anyone else, and we have no access to it. Apple's handling of iCloud data is governed by Apple's Privacy Policy. If you leave iCloud Sync off, your data stays only on your device.

Backups

GameSlate lets you export a backup as a single file and import it again later. You create and store these backup files yourself, wherever you choose (for example, the Files app or another location you select). We never receive, process, or have access to them.

Sharing sessions and the camera

GameSlate can share a finished game session with the other players, either as a QR code shown on your screen or as a .gameslate file you send however you choose (AirDrop, Messages, the Files app, and so on). Shared sessions travel directly between your devices — they are never uploaded to us or to any server.

To receive a session, GameSlate can use your device's camera to scan the sender's QR code. The camera is used only for scanning, entirely on your device: no photo or video is ever captured, stored, or transmitted, and nothing the camera sees leaves your device. Camera access is optional — if you decline it, you can still receive sessions by opening a shared file.

Purchases

GameSlate offers an optional one-time in-app purchase to unlock the full version. Purchases are processed entirely by Apple through the App Store. We do not receive or store your payment details. Apple's handling of purchase information is governed by Apple's Privacy Policy.

Analytics and tracking

GameSlate contains no analytics, no advertising, and no third-party tracking. We do not use cookies or any tracking technologies.

Children's privacy

GameSlate does not collect any data from anyone, including children.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, we will update this page and revise the effective date above.
