Privacy
Quiet Quiver collects anonymous product-interaction events to help shape the next version. No accounts, no advertising identifiers, no tracking, no third-party ad SDKs.
Last updated 7 June 2026.
What we collect
The app sends anonymous product-interaction events to TelemetryDeck, a privacy-first analytics service based in Germany. Events describe what happens in the app — for example, "a daily puzzle was solved" or "the theme changed" — never who did it.
What is not collected:
- No name, phone number, or account — Quiet Quiver has no sign-in.
- No IDFA, IDFV, or any device advertising identifier.
- No precise or coarse location.
- No contacts, photos, microphone, or any other system permission.
- No third-party advertising or ad SDKs of any kind.
- No cross-app or cross-site tracking. Events from Quiet Quiver cannot be joined with data from any other app or service.
TelemetryDeck derives a daily-rotating, salted hash from device characteristics to count unique sessions. This hash is not a stable identifier — it changes daily, cannot be reversed to identify the device, and cannot be linked back to you. Under Apple's privacy framework this qualifies as Usage Data → Product Interaction, not linked to user identity, not used for tracking, used solely for App Functionality.
Feedback you choose to send
If you use Settings → Send feedback, the message you write — and your email address, only if you choose to enter one so we can reply — is sent to our feedback service and filed as a private support ticket. This is the only data Quiet Quiver collects that you type yourself, it is sent only when you tap Send, and it is used solely to read and answer your message (Customer Support). It is never used for advertising or tracking, and leaving the email field blank is fine.
What stays on your device
Quiet Quiver stores a few things locally so the app remembers what you were doing:
- Your settings — theme, language, audio toggles and volumes, default difficulty, daily-reminder time
- Your gameplay statistics — puzzles solved, clean solves, solve times, current and best streak
- Your daily-puzzle progress — so today's daily isn't lost if you switch apps mid-solve
This data is written to the iOS-managed user-defaults store and the on-device SwiftData database. It stays on the device it was created on; Quiet Quiver does not sync it to any server or iCloud account in this version.
System APIs the app accesses
Per Apple's required privacy manifest, Quiet Quiver declares one system API category: NSPrivacyAccessedAPICategoryUserDefaults (reason CA92.1 — accessing user defaults that belong to the app itself). No other reason categories apply.
Notifications
If you enable the optional daily reminder, the app schedules one local notification through iOS. The notification is generated entirely on-device — no server is involved. You can turn it off at any time in Settings → Notifications, or in iOS Settings.
Children
Quiet Quiver is suitable for all ages, contains no user-to-user communication, no ads, and no links out except to this site. It collects no personal data from anyone, including children.
Changes
If this policy changes, the updated date above will change with it. Material changes will be reflected here before they take effect in a released version.
