Privacy Policy

This policy covers every game published by Anguished Studio, plus this website. It is published by Anguished LLC, the North Carolina company behind Anguished Studio. Last updated: September 23, 2026.

Google-connected studio tools have a separate Studio Tools Privacy Policy.

The short version

Anguished Studio games collect no data. Everything runs on your device.

Data collection

None. The games have no accounts, no ads, no analytics, no tracking, and no third-party advertising or analytics SDKs. Some games use open-source runtime frameworks such as React Native or Expo to render the app; those frameworks are not used by Anguished Studio to collect, transmit, store, or share personal data.

On-device data

Game progress and settings (best scores, unlocks, options) are stored only on your device using UserDefaults, WKWebView localStorage, or another platform-native local store. Anguished Studio cannot see this data. Deleting a game deletes its local data unless Apple restores it from your device backup.

Network use

The games are fully playable offline. Some games may contact Apple for StoreKit purchases or Game Center, and some builds may contact their distribution provider to check for software updates. These operational requests are not used by Anguished Studio for advertising, analytics, tracking, or user profiling.

Purchases

Some games include an optional tip jar. Tips are small one-time purchases that support the studio and unlock nothing in the game. Apple handles the entire purchase through StoreKit and the App Store. We never see your payment details, and we store nothing about what you bought.

Game Center

Some games offer optional Apple Game Center leaderboards or achievements. If you choose to sign in to Game Center, Apple processes your scores and identity under Apple's privacy policy. We never receive or store your Game Center identity.

App Store statistics

Apple shares aggregate, anonymous statistics (downloads, sessions, crashes) with developers through App Store Connect, and only for users who opted in to share analytics with developers. These numbers come from Apple, are controlled by your device settings, and contain nothing that identifies you.

This website

anguishedturtle.com uses Vercel Web Analytics to count page views and aggregate navigation toward the games. The website queues two event names: *Game page click for links to a game landing page, and App Store click* for links to a game's App Store listing. Each event has only two custom properties: game and placement (such as home, catalog, related games, support, press, or a game page).

The page pathname comes from the provider's standard page URL dimension, not an extra custom property. Before sending page views or these events, the site removes query strings and fragments from that URL. It does not call the provider's user-identification, group, or cookie features, and sends no advertising identifiers or personal profile. Custom-event collection depends on the site's analytics plan. The games themselves remain collection-free as described above.

Children

Age ratings vary by title and are shown on each App Store listing. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone, including children, because the games collect no personal information at all.

Changes

Any change to this policy will be posted at this address with an updated date.
