118 Boxes

Privacy

118 Boxes collects nothing. Not a reduced amount. Nothing.

Why that claim is safe to make

The app contains no networking code. There is no HTTP client, no analytics SDK, no advertising library and no third-party framework of any kind. There is therefore no mechanism by which information could leave your device, even by accident.

The source is public if you would like to check rather than take my word for it: github.com/rizvie/118-boxes.

What is stored on your device

Two things, neither of which is ever transmitted:

Progress

How many times each element has been answered correctly, so the app can ask more about the ones your child has not met.

Settings

Whether sound, spoken names and picture hints are on, and which voice reads the names.

Both are cleared by Reset progress in Settings, and both are gone entirely if you delete the app.

Children

118 Boxes is built for children. It collects no personal information from anyone of any age, so there is nothing to request, correct or delete. There are no accounts, no advertising, no in-app purchases, and no way to contact anyone through the app.

Settings contains links to this site and to the source repository. They open in Safari, and are the only way out of the app. This website, unlike the app, uses PostHog analytics to see which pages get read. That happens in Safari, never inside 118 Boxes.

Apple's own analytics

If you have Share iPhone & Watch Analytics switched on in iOS Settings, Apple may pass me aggregated, anonymous figures such as how many devices opened the app and whether it crashed. That is a feature of iOS rather than something built into 118 Boxes. It identifies nobody, and you can turn it off under Settings → Privacy & Security → Analytics & Improvements.

Changes

If a future version ever collects anything, this page will say so before that version ships, and will describe what changed rather than quietly replacing this text.
