Privacy Policy

CrownPatience

Last updated: 2026-09-10

CrownPatience is a single-player Klondike solitaire game played under a bioluminescent jungle canopy, running entirely on your device. This policy describes what CrownPatience does and does not do with your data. The short version: CrownPatience does not collect, transmit, or share any personal information.

1Information we collect

None. The game never asks for your name, email address, phone number, location, or any other personal detail, and nothing you do in the game is sent anywhere. The one thing it invites you to type is a display name for your in-game profile: it is stored on your device, shown only to you, and never leaves the phone. You can change it or clear it whenever you like.

2Data stored on your device

To make the app work, CrownPatience stores the following only on your device, using the operating system's local storage:

  • which deals you have cleared, and how many stars each one earned;
  • your motes (the in-game currency) balance and lifetime total;
  • the date of your most recent daily offering, so the game knows when the next one is due;
  • your streak, badge progress, and lifetime counters such as deals played and cards sent home;
  • your settings: tap-to-place, left-handed layout, suit letters, reduced motion;
  • which card backs you own, and which one is equipped;
  • the display name and crest you chose;
  • an in-progress deal, so an interrupted game can be resumed.

This data never leaves your device. It is not uploaded to CrownPatience or to any third party. Uninstalling the app or clearing its storage deletes all of it permanently.

3Permissions

The released app requests no Android runtime permissions and declares no iOS usage descriptions. The INTERNET permission that Flutter adds to debug builds — so the development tooling can attach a debugger — is not present in the release manifest.

4Network use

CrownPatience is fully offline. It contains no HTTP client, no web view, no sockets, and no remote configuration. Every deal, every image, and every rule is bundled in the app, and it behaves identically in airplane mode.

5Third-party services

None are integrated. The app ships no analytics SDK, no advertising SDK, no crash reporter, and no attribution or tracking library. Its only third-party code is a small set of open-source Flutter packages that run locally: Riverpod (state), Hive (local storage), share_plus (the system share sheet) and flutter_animate (animation helpers). Tapping Share on the profile screen opens your operating system’s own share sheet with a short line of text; the app never sees what you do with it.

6Children's privacy

CrownPatience collects nothing, so there is nothing to collect from a child. It satisfies COPPA and GDPR-K by construction: no personal data is gathered, processed, or shared regardless of the player’s age, and the game carries no advertising, no purchases, and no social features.

7Your rights

Because everything stays on your device, you hold all of it. Deleting the app removes the save file and every trace of your progress. On Android you can also clear the game’s data from Settings → Apps → CrownPatience → Storage. There is nothing on any server to request, export, or erase.

8Changes to this policy

If this policy ever changes, the "Last updated" date at the top of this page will be revised. Material changes will be noted in the app's release notes.
