Introduction

TalkDeck respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use our app.

This policy complies with applicable data protection laws including COPPA, CCPA, and GDPR where applicable.

Data We Collect

TalkDeck collects the following information locally on your device:

  • Age Verification: Age confirmation that you are 18 or older, required to access the app. This is used to ensure age-appropriate content access and compliance with content rating requirements.
  • Usage Statistics: Questions answered, questions skipped, time spent using the app, and progress through conversation decks.
  • App Preferences: Sound effects settings, haptic feedback preferences, theme selection (light/dark/automatic), language preference, and level mode selection.
  • Content Filtering Settings: Age filter preferences and explicit content filtering settings to customize your experience.

How We Store Your Data

All data collected by TalkDeck is stored exclusively on your device using iOS's local storage system (SwiftData).

  • No data is transmitted to external servers
  • No data is shared with third parties
  • No cloud synchronization or backup services are used
  • No third-party services or analytics tools are integrated
  • No advertising networks have access to your data
  • Data remains on your device unless you delete the app

How We Use Your Data

The data we collect is used solely to:

  • Track your progress through conversation decks
  • Provide statistics and insights about your usage
  • Remember your preferences and settings
  • Filter content based on your age and content preferences

We do not use your data for advertising, analytics, or any other external purposes.

Data Security

All data is protected by iOS's built-in security features, including device encryption and secure storage through SwiftData. Since no data leaves your device, there is no risk of data breaches or unauthorized access through network transmission.

Data Retention

Your data is stored on your device indefinitely until you choose to delete it through the app's Reset Data feature or by uninstalling the app. We do not have access to your data and cannot delete it remotely.

Your Rights

You have full control over your data:

  • You can reset all statistics and progress data at any time through the Settings menu
  • You can reset specific data categories (statistics only, or deck progress only)
  • You can delete the app at any time, which will remove all locally stored data
  • All data deletion is immediate and permanent

Children's Privacy

TalkDeck is designed for users 18 years and older. We collect age verification information to ensure age-appropriate content access. If you are under 18, please do not use this app. We do not knowingly collect information from individuals under 18.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected in the app with an updated "Last Updated" date. Your continued use of the app after changes are made constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.

California Privacy Rights

California residents have the right to request disclosure of what personal information we collect and how we use it. Since all data is stored locally on your device and never transmitted to us, we do not have access to your personal information.
