Patchbay Privacy Policy

Last updated: 6 September 2026

Summary

Patchbay collects nothing. There is no account, no sign in, no analytics, no advertising and no tracking of any kind. The game makes no network requests of its own, so none of your data leaves your iPhone.

What the app stores on your device

• Your progress. Which panels you have cleared, how many moves each took, and where you left a panel you have not finished yet.
• Your Daily Panel record. Which days you have finished and the length of your current and best streak.
• Your settings. Sound, room tone, haptics, still cables and larger bay shapes.

All of it is written by the app into its own storage on your device, and it is included in your device backup if you back your iPhone up. We cannot see any of it, and there is no way for us to reach it.

Puzzles

Every panel in Patchbay is generated and verified before the app is built, and the Daily Panel is worked out on your device from the calendar date alone. The app does not download puzzles and does not report which ones you play.

Purchases

Full Exchange is a one time purchase handled entirely by Apple. We never see your payment details, your Apple Account, or your name. The app asks StoreKit whether this Apple Account owns the purchase and stores nothing about it beyond that answer. Restoring a purchase asks Apple the same question again.

Game Center

If you sign in to Game Center, the game submits one number to one leaderboard: how many panels you have cleared in total. That is handled by Apple's Game Center and is covered by Apple's privacy policy. If you do not sign in, nothing is submitted and the whole game still works.

Children

Patchbay is not directed to children and collects no personal information from anyone, including children.

Your rights

Because we hold no data about you, there is nothing for us to give you, correct or delete. Deleting the app removes everything it stored. If you would like to clear your progress without deleting the app, Settings has a Reset Progress button.

Changes

If this policy ever changes, the new version will appear on this page with a new date.
