Privacy Policy
Tails & Pieces has no accounts, no ads and no analytics. Your child's progress stays on your device.
Effective date: 2026-11-10
Who we are
Tails & Pieces is published by Rui Miguel Mendes Correia (Portugal), an individual developer ("we"). This policy covers the Tails & Pieces app for iPhone and iPad and the website tailsandpieces.com.
What the app does not collect
The app does not collect or send us any personal information. It has no accounts, ads, analytics, tracking or chat, and does not ask for access to your location, photos, camera, microphone or contacts.
What stays on your device
The app stores its settings (music, sound effects, volume, vibration), puzzle progress, and whether the full game is unlocked. This stays on your device, may be included in your device backups, and is deleted when you delete the app. Progress can also be cleared in Settings → For grown-ups → Reset progress.
Purchases
The optional Unlock Full Game purchase is made through Apple's App Store, behind a check for adults. Apple handles the payment, your Apple Account and any refund; we do not receive your payment details, name or e-mail address. The app checks with Apple on your device whether the purchase was made and keeps only that yes/no answer. Apple's handling of your information is described in Apple's Privacy Policy.
Internet use
The game plays without internet. The app connects only to Apple's App Store for purchases and restores. When a grown-up chooses Privacy Policy or Support, it opens this website or your e-mail app.
Crash reports
If you have chosen in your device settings to share analytics with app developers, Apple may send us crash reports. We use them only to fix problems. You can change this in Settings → Privacy & Security → Analytics & Improvements.
Children
Tails & Pieces is made for young children. We do not collect personal information from children. Purchases and links out of the app are behind a check for adults.
If you e-mail us
If you write to support@tailsandpieces.com, we use your e-mail address and message only to reply, never for marketing. Messages are forwarded by Namecheap to a mailbox provided by Gmail (Google). We keep them for 12 months after your request is resolved, unless a longer period is legally required, then delete them; you can ask us to delete them sooner. Our reply may come from a different address.
This website
This website uses no cookies, analytics or trackers and loads nothing from third parties. It is hosted on Cloudflare Pages, which processes technical data such as IP addresses and request details to deliver the site and protect it from abuse.
Your choices and rights
You can reset or delete the app's data at any time, and ask us to delete any messages you have sent us. Depending on where you live, you may have further rights over your personal information; contact us to use them.
Changes
If this policy changes, we will update this page and its effective date.
