Make decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects through automated profiling.
We do not receive your Apple ID password, full payment-card details, bank-account information, or other payment credentials from Apple.
5. Information We May Process
The information processed depends on the application and the features you choose to use.

When you contact us, report a problem, send feedback, or request support, you may provide:
Your name
Your email address
The content of your message
Screenshots, diagnostic information, or attachments
Information about your device or application version and
Any other information you voluntarily include in your communication.

Depending on your device settings and the application, we may receive limited technical or diagnostic information, such as:
Device model or device category
Operating-system version
Application version
Preferred language
Crash reports
Performance information
General application usage information and
Technical information needed to investigate errors.
This information may be provided through Apple’s developer, analytics, or diagnostic services. Where possible, we use aggregated or de-identified information rather than information linked to an identifiable person.
We do not use this information to track your activity across applications or websites.

5.4 Location Information
Some of our applications provide maps, nearby-place searches, navigation assistance, charging-station information, distance calculations, location-based tools, or similar features.
When you choose to grant location permission, the application may access your approximate or precise location to:
Display your position on a map
Find nearby locations or services
Calculate distances
Sort results by distance

When an application opens Apple Maps or uses an Apple mapping service, Apple may process location and request information under Apple’s own privacy terms.
You can control location access through your device’s privacy settings. Disabling location access may prevent certain location-based features from working correctly.
5.5 Game Center
Some of our games may use Apple Game Center for features such as:
Player authentication
Leaderboards
Scores
Achievements
Multiplayer functionality or
Displaying a Game Center alias or profile image.
When you enable Game Center, the application may receive limited Game Center information necessary to provide these features, such as a player identifier, alias, scores, and achievements.
Game Center accounts and associated personal information are managed by Apple. We do not receive your Apple ID password or payment information through Game Center.
You can manage Game Center through your Apple device settings.
5.6 Notifications
Some applications may offer local or remote notifications.
Local notifications are generally scheduled and displayed directly on your device without requiring us to receive a notification token.
When remote notifications are used and you grant permission, the application may receive an Apple Push Notification service device token. This token is used only to deliver notifications to the relevant installation of the application.
A push-notification token is not used by us for advertising or cross-application tracking.
You can disable notifications at any time through your device’s notification settings. If you disable notifications, notification-related features may no longer operate.

Our applications may store information locally on your device, including:
Application settings
Preferences
Favourites
Saved locations
Game progress
Scores
Notes

Filter selections and
Other content created or saved by you.
Unless the application clearly states otherwise, this information remains on your device and is not transmitted to us.
Deleting an application may delete locally stored application data, subject to your device backups and Apple’s operating-system behaviour.
5.8 iCloud and CloudKit
Some applications may optionally use Apple iCloud or CloudKit to synchronise information between your Apple devices.
Where iCloud synchronisation is available:
Data is stored in services operated by Apple
Access is associated with your Apple account
We do not receive your Apple ID password
Synchronisation depends on your iCloud settings and
You may be able to manage or delete stored information through the application or your Apple account settings.
Apple processes iCloud data in accordance with Apple’s own privacy terms.
5.9 Photos, Camera, Microphone, or Other Device Permissions
Certain applications may request access to device features such as the camera, photo library, microphone, contacts, Bluetooth, or motion sensors when necessary for a specific feature.
The application will request permission before accessing protected device resources.
Unless clearly stated at the time of collection:
Access is used only for the feature you selected
The data is processed on your device where possible
We do not continuously access the resource
We do not use the data for advertising and
Content is not uploaded to us without an action taken by you.
