Privacy Policy

The short version

Pyramids is built to respect your privacy.

• We do not sell personal data, run ads, or track you across apps or websites.
• There are no ads, no analytics or behavior-tracking SDKs, and no Pyramids user accounts.
• Tasks, bricks, and settings are local by default. A limited slice of game progress is backed up to your private iCloud when available.
• Named network flows are Apple/RevenueCat purchase and entitlement handling and, only when you request it, selected task text sent directly to Anthropic for the optional AI helper. Pyramids does not operate an application server for these flows.

What's stored on your device

The app keeps your tasks, completed-task history ("bricks"), level, coins, streaks, shop items, and settings locally on your device. This data is not transmitted to us. If you delete the app, this local copy is removed. The limited iCloud economy backup below may remain available for reinstall until you use Clear App Data or remove it through your Apple/iCloud controls.

iCloud backup

So a new phone or a reinstall doesn't wipe out progress you've earned or paid for, the app automatically backs up a small slice of your game state — progression/economy totals, owned and equipped shop items, consumable counts, and gem balance — to your own private iCloud using Apple's iCloud Key-Value Store when it is available.

• This uses the iCloud account already signed in on your device. There is no separate account, sign-up, or password.
• The data is stored in your Apple iCloud storage, governed by Apple's privacy policy. It never reaches our servers — we cannot see it.
• It contains in-game progression/economy values and stable game-operation markers, not task titles, task notes, brick titles, contacts, the Anthropic key, or purchase receipts.
• If iCloud is signed out or unavailable, the app works exactly the same using its local copy; the backup is best-effort.
• Clear App Data in Settings erases this backup along with your local data (your gem balance is deliberately preserved, since gems are purchased value).

Purchases (Pyramids Plus & gems)

Pyramids offers optional in-app purchases — the Pyramids Plus subscription and gem packs. Everything the app did before remains free; purchases only add to it.

• All payments are processed by Apple through the App Store. We never see or receive your payment-card details.
• To unlock what you've bought and keep it working across your devices and reinstalls, the app uses RevenueCat, a subscription-management service. The configured SDK checks entitlement status at launch and during purchase, restore, and subscription management. RevenueCat receives a randomly generated app-user identifier, App Store purchase history/receipt information, and basic app/device information needed for this purpose.
• This identifier is not linked to your name, email, or Apple ID, and is used only to manage entitlements — not for advertising or cross-app tracking.
• RevenueCat's handling of this data is governed by RevenueCat's privacy policy; Apple's handling is governed by Apple's privacy policy.
• We do not operate our own server in this flow and store none of this data ourselves.

Notifications

If you enable reminders, the app schedules local notifications on your device (daily nudges, streak reminders, and mindfulness prompts). These are generated on-device and are not sent through our servers.

Optional AI task breakdown

The app includes an optional, off-by-default feature that suggests how to break a task into smaller steps. If — and only if — you turn it on and provide your own Anthropic API key:

• The text of the task you choose to break down is sent to Anthropic's API to generate suggested steps.
• Your API key is stored securely on your device and is used to call Anthropic directly; usage is billed to your own Anthropic account.
• We do not operate a server in this flow and do not receive or retain a copy of the request. Anthropic processes the task text and key under Anthropic's privacy policy and the terms attached to your Anthropic account.

You can disable this feature and remove your key at any time in Settings.

Children's privacy

The app is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone.
