Overview
Phrasefold is an offline-first phrase game published by Chirag Kular. It does not require an account and does not operate a developer-owned gameplay or analytics server.
Data stored on your device
Puzzle progress, scores, settings, Daily Quilt history, and the optional reminder schedule are stored on your device. A small completion, streak, and best-score summary is shared only between Phrasefold and its widget through an Apple app group. Phrasefold does not upload your puzzle history or typed solve answers to a developer-owned server.
Notifications
If you enable the optional Daily Quilt reminder, iOS schedules it locally. You can disable the reminder in Phrasefold or change notification access in iOS Settings.
Advertising and consent
A production build may use Google Mobile Ads and Google’s User Messaging Platform between completed rounds. The first completed round is ad-free. At that natural break, Phrasefold may request regional advertising consent and the iOS App Tracking Transparency choice before starting the ad SDK. If allowed, Google may use a device identifier for advertising measurement across other companies’ apps and websites. Phrasefold disables Google’s publisher first-party identifier and requests non-personalized ad treatment for every ad request. Google and its partners may also process advertising data, product interaction, diagnostic data, and IP-derived general location for contextual advertising, frequency capping, fraud prevention, and aggregate reporting. Declining tracking does not affect play; the advertising identifier remains unavailable, and an unavailable or failed ad never blocks play.
Google and its partners are required to protect data consistently with their published terms and applicable law. Review Google’s Privacy Policy and Google’s advertising-data information.

Phrasefold does not retain app data on a developer-owned server. Google’s retention and deletion practices are described in Google’s linked privacy materials.
