Privacy Policy — Zuno

Effective Date: October 5, 2026 Last Updated: October 12, 2026

This Privacy Policy describes how Brent’s Big Damn LLC (“we,” “us,” or “our”) handles information in connection with the Zuno mobile application (“the App”), available for iPhone and iPad and listed on the App Store as Zuno: Tideglass Adventure. We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about our practices.

The short version: Zuno runs entirely on your device. We do not collect, transmit, or have access to any of your data. Your game progress and settings stay on your iPhone or iPad, and they leave it only when you choose to export a save file yourself.

1. Information We Collect

The App is designed not to collect personal information. Zuno:

  • Does not require account creation, registration, or sign-up
  • Does not collect your name, email address, phone number, or any other personal identifier
  • Does not collect device identifiers, IP addresses, or location data
  • Makes no network requests of its own and does not transmit data to our servers — we operate no servers for the App (the optional website link described in Section 5 opens in your browser only when you tap it)

Note: While the App itself does not make network requests, your device’s operating system or app distribution platform (the Apple App Store, or Apple’s TestFlight for beta versions) may independently collect certain data related to app installation, purchases, updates, or crash diagnostics. Such collection is governed by Apple’s privacy policy and is outside our control.

Your game progress is stored exclusively on your device. We have no ability to access, view, or retrieve it.

2. Data Stored on Your Device

While we do not collect data, the App stores the following locally on your device so you can keep playing where you left off:

  • Current game: Your location in the observatory, the items you carry, puzzle progress, discovered clues and journal entries, the story transcript, your turn count, and which hints you have revealed
  • App settings: Your text size, high contrast, reduce motion, and VoiceOver announcement preferences
  • Damaged saves: If a save file can’t be read, the App keeps it under a separate name rather than deleting it, so it can be exported or recovered

Undo history and your recent command history are kept in memory only while you play and are cleared when the App closes.

Your save file is stored in the App’s private container on your device, isolated from other apps by iOS. Settings are stored separately in the App’s own preferences. None of this contains personal information, and none of it is transmitted to us.

3. Exporting and Importing Saves

Zuno lets you export your game as a save file and import one through the iOS Files app.

  • When you export, the file is created on your device and handed to the standard iOS save interface. You choose where it goes — Files, AirDrop, or another app.
  • A save file contains your game progress only. It does not contain your name or any other personal information.
  • We are not a party to that transfer and never receive the file. Once you save or share it elsewhere, that copy is governed by the destination you chose and must be deleted there separately.
  • When you import, the App reads only the file you select, checks that it is a valid save, and asks for confirmation before replacing your current game. Invalid files are rejected without changing your progress.

4. Device Permissions

Zuno requests no device permissions. The App does not ask for, and has no access to:

  • Location
  • Camera or photo library
  • Microphone — the App does not record audio
  • Contacts, calendars, health data, or other personal data on your device
  • Notifications — the App does not send push notifications

When you import a file, iOS gives the App access only to the single file you choose, only while it is being read.

Zuno contains no network code of its own, but it includes one link that opens outside the App only when you tap it:

  • See more apps, in Settings → About Zuno, opens our website, ginger-apps.com, in your browser

This link is never shown during gameplay and never opens on its own. When you tap it, your browser handles the connection, governed by its own privacy practices. The App sends no information about you or your game with this link.

6. iCloud and Backups

Zuno does not use iCloud sync, Game Center, or any other online service. Your game is not synced between devices — use export and import to move it yourself.

Your device’s own iCloud or computer backups may include the App’s local data, depending on your device settings. Those backups are controlled by you and governed by Apple’s policies. We have no access to your iCloud account or its contents.

7. Advertising and In-App Purchases

Zuno displays no advertisements and offers no in-app purchases or subscriptions. No advertising or payment information is collected or processed by the App.

8. Third-Party Services

Zuno contains no third-party services, SDKs, or dependencies of any kind. The App:

  • Includes no third-party libraries — it is built on Apple’s own system frameworks (SwiftUI and related APIs), all of which run on-device
  • Bundles the entire adventure, its artwork, and its fonts inside the App; it does not download code or content
  • Displays no advertisements
  • Integrates with no analytics platforms
  • Uses no crash reporting or diagnostics service
  • Connects to no cloud services, backends, or external APIs

9. Analytics and Tracking

We do not track users for analytics, advertising, or behavioral profiling. Zuno:

  • Contains no analytics or telemetry of any kind
  • Does not use cookies, pixels, beacons, or fingerprinting
  • Does not participate in any advertising or tracking networks
  • Does not collect usage statistics, gameplay data, crash reports, or performance data

We have zero visibility into how, when, or whether you play the App.

10. Data Sharing and Disclosure

Because the App operates entirely on your device and we collect no user data:

  • No user data is shared with third parties by us
  • No data is sold to data brokers or advertisers
  • No data is disclosed to affiliates or business partners
  • We do not possess user data that could be produced in response to legal requests

Note: Apple may independently collect and share data related to your use of its platform and the App Store. Please refer to Apple’s privacy policy for details.

11. Data Retention and Deletion

All data created by the App resides on your device and is entirely under your control.

  • Retention: Your game progress and settings are kept on your device for as long as you keep the App installed. We have no role in retention because we never possess your data.
  • Starting over: Starting a new journey replaces your current game after you confirm.
  • App uninstallation: Uninstalling the App removes its local saves and preferences from your device, subject to your device’s operating system and backup settings.
  • Exported files: Save files you have exported live wherever you saved or sent them and must be deleted there.

12. Children’s Privacy

Zuno does not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13 (or the applicable age in your jurisdiction). Since the App does not collect personal information from any user, regardless of age, there is no children’s data at risk.

If you are a parent or guardian and have concerns about your child’s use of the App, please contact us at support.bbdllc@gmail.com.

We comply with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) provisions regarding minors, and similar applicable laws.

13. Your Rights Under GDPR

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, you have certain rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and similar laws. These include the right to:

  • Access personal data we hold about you
  • Rectify inaccurate personal data
  • Erase your personal data (“right to be forgotten”)
  • Restrict processing of your personal data
  • Port your personal data to another service
  • Object to processing of your personal data
  • Withdraw consent to data processing

Because Zuno operates entirely on your device and transmits no user data to us, we do not process personal data on our systems. As a result, we do not hold personal data about you that would be subject to these rights.

All data created in the App is on your device and under your exclusive control. You may export it, replace it, or delete it at any time through the App or by uninstalling it.

Platform controllers: Apple acts as an independent data controller for data it collects through the App Store, TestFlight, and iOS (e.g., purchase history, crash diagnostics). For information about Apple’s data practices, please refer to Apple’s Privacy Policy.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority if you believe your data protection rights have been violated.

If you have questions about your rights, you may contact us at support.bbdllc@gmail.com.

14. Your Rights Under CCPA / CPRA

If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), provides you with specific rights regarding your personal information. These include the right to:

  • Know what personal information is collected, used, shared, or sold
  • Delete personal information held by a business
  • Opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information
  • Non-discrimination for exercising your privacy rights
  • Correct inaccurate personal information
  • Limit use of sensitive personal information

Because the App operates entirely on your device and we collect no personal information, we do not hold personal information about you that would be subject to these rights.

  • We do not sell personal information.
  • We do not share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising.
  • We do not collect or process sensitive personal information, including precise geolocation.

For questions, contact us at support.bbdllc@gmail.com.

15. International Data Transfers

Zuno operates entirely on your device and transmits no user data to our servers. Your data remains on your device and is not transferred internationally by us. Any data processing performed by Apple in connection with app distribution is governed by Apple’s privacy policy.

16. Security

The App is built so that your data never has to travel:

  • No network surface: The App makes no network requests of its own, eliminating network-based interception entirely
  • No third-party code: No external SDKs that could collect or exfiltrate data
  • OS-level isolation: Data is stored in the App’s private container, which iOS isolates from other apps
  • Device encryption: Files in the App’s container are protected by iOS Data Protection, which encrypts device storage when you have a passcode, Face ID, or Touch ID enabled
  • Validated imports: Imported files are checked before they can replace your game
  • No credentials to steal: There is no account, password, or access token associated with the App

17. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we will notify you by updating the “Last Updated” date at the top of this policy and, where practicable, through an in-app notice.

We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically to stay informed about how we protect your privacy. Your continued use of the App after any changes to this Privacy Policy constitutes your acceptance of those changes.

18. App Store Supplemental Disclosures

Apple App Store (iOS / iPadOS)
