Privacy Policy
Last updated November 7, 2026
This policy explains how Matthew Productions ("we") handles information in the Pinpoint app for iPhone ("the app"). We built Pinpoint so your games stay on your device.
In short
- We do not have accounts or servers, and we do not collect your game data, questions or photos.
- Photos you pick and questions you type are processed only on your iPhone.
- Ads are provided by Google AdMob, which collects some device data to show and measure ads.
Information that stays on your device
Games and questions
Your boards, secret cards, questions and answers exist only in the app's memory on your iPhone while you play. We never receive them.
Typed questions and Apple Intelligence
Questions you type are answered by Apple's on-device language model. The text is processed on your iPhone and is not sent to us.
Photos
If you build a photo board, you choose photos with the iOS photo picker. The app only receives the photos you select, never your full library. It uses Apple's Vision framework on your iPhone to crop faces and detect simple visible things such as hats, glasses, animals or the outdoors. It does not identify people or infer sensitive traits. To let you play again later, the app saves the small photo crops and detected details in its own private storage on your iPhone, protected while your phone is locked. You can replace or delete them any time with Edit Photos, and they are removed if you delete the app. Photos are never uploaded.
Advertising
The app shows banner ads and optional rewarded ads from Google AdMob, a service of Google LLC. To deliver, measure and protect ads, Google may collect:
- Device identifiers, including the advertising identifier (IDFA) only if you allow tracking
- IP address and approximate location derived from it
- Device and app information, such as model, operating system version and language
- Ad interactions, such as ads viewed or tapped, and diagnostic data
Before ads are personalized, the app asks for your permission through Apple's App Tracking Transparency prompt. You can change this any time in Settings > Privacy & Security > Tracking. Where required by law, such as in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland, the app shows Google's consent form before any ads load, and you can change your choice later with Privacy Choices on the home screen. Google processes this data under its own policies: Google Privacy Policy and How Google uses information from apps that use its services.
Purchases
If the app offers in-app purchases, they are handled by Apple. We do not receive your payment details. Apple tells the app only whether a purchase is active.
Analytics
Pinpoint does not include analytics or crash reporting from us. Apple may share anonymous crash reports and app usage with us if you have opted in to sharing with app developers in your iPhone settings.
Children
Pinpoint is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information through the app, contact us and we will help.
Your rights
Because we do not store personal data, there is usually nothing for us to access, correct or delete. For data collected by Google for advertising, you can manage tracking in iOS Settings and exercise your rights with Google. If you are in the EEA or UK, you also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.
Changes
We may update this policy when the app changes. We will post the new version on this page and update the date at the top.
