Privacy Policy

Last updated November 7, 2026

User Agreement (the game called Preamble on your Home Screen), 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. Unlike the setup in the game, there is nothing to agree to.

What stays on your iPhone

The game saves the name you give it in pre-setup, your answers and choices during setup (the “profile” it quotes back at you), your best progress, your badges, your Today's Setup score and the sound switch. They're kept in the app's own storage on your device and are never sent anywhere. Deleting the app removes them.

Camera

If you allow it, one kind of step (SCAN!) uses the camera through Apple's ARKit to show your room with tracking points while you sweep the phone around. The camera picture is processed live on your iPhone and is never recorded, saved or sent. If you don't allow it, you rub the screen instead.

Microphone

If you allow it, voice steps measure only how loud you are, compared with the room's own background level, while the step is on screen. No audio is recorded, saved or sent, and no speech is recognised. If you don't allow it, those steps have an on-screen fallback.

Motion, sensors and the hinge

Some steps read the phone's sensors while they're on screen: tilt, shake and turning (motion sensors), air pressure from the barometer to tell when you lift the phone (this is the “Motion & Fitness” permission), the proximity sensor, presses of the volume-up button, the screen brightness, whether the phone is charging, and on iPhone Duo the hinge angle and whether the phone is open or closed. One step counts that you took a screenshot; the game is only told that one was taken and never sees the picture. None of these readings are stored or sent.

Sharing your report card

When setup times out you can share a picture of your report card (it can include the name you gave and some of your setup choices). iOS shows its share sheet and you choose where it goes; the game itself sends nothing.

Changing permissions

Camera, microphone and motion are optional and asked once, each with a “Not now” option. You can change them at any time in iOS Settings › Privacy & Security.

Children

The game isn't aimed at children, and it collects no information from anyone, children included. It has no ads, purchases, links out or chat.
