Privacy Policy

Last updated November 4, 2026

Knock Knock Simulator, made by Showboat Studios, does not collect, store or share any personal information. It has no accounts, no ads, no analytics and no tracking, and it makes no network connections.

What stays on your iPhone

The app saves which jokes you've heard, your ratings and favourites, your Joke of the Day streak, the jokes you write and your settings. They're kept in the app's own storage on your device and are never sent anywhere. Deleting the app, or Settings › Reset progress, removes them.

Jokes you write and share

Jokes you make in My Jokes stay on your device. If you tap Share, iOS shows its share sheet and you choose where the picture and text go. The app itself doesn't send them anywhere.

Hinge, sound and read-aloud

On iPhone Duo the app reads whether the phone is open or closed to tell the joke. Sounds are made by the app itself. Read-aloud uses the speech voices built into iOS on your device. None of this is recorded or stored.

Microphone and speech recognition

If you turn on “Say it out loud” (the app asks first, then iOS asks for the microphone and speech recognition), the app listens only while the door is waiting for “Who's there?” or “… who?”. The words are recognized on your iPhone by Apple's on-device speech recognition; the app requires on-device recognition, so no audio or text is sent to Apple, to us or to anyone else. Nothing is recorded or saved. You can turn it off in the app's Settings, or in iOS Settings › Privacy & Security.

Children

The app is suitable for children. It collects no information from anyone, children included, and has no ads, purchases, links out or chat. Sharing a joke is behind a grown-up check (a times-table question).
