Effective August 13, 2026
Privacy Policy
Goblin Mode is private by design. The app is designed to work without accounts, subscriptions, advertising SDKs, analytics SDKs, backend services, API keys, or cloud AI services.
Information the app stores
Goblin Mode may store app data locally on your device so the app can remember your progress and preferences. This can include:
- Daily check-in choices such as energy, hunger, mood, weather, money caution, and available time.
- Quest state, active quests, completed quests, loot, coins, scraps, trinkets, achievements, and titles.
- Hoard, deal/pass, food, cave care, route, inventory, settings, and onboarding preferences.
Data collection
The native app does not collect personal data for the developer, does not use tracking, and does not send app usage data to a server.
Data sharing
Goblin Mode does not sell, rent, or share your app data with advertisers, analytics providers, data brokers, or third-party AI services.
App Store purchases
The optional Cavekeeper Upgrade is processed by Apple through the App Store. Goblin Mode checks Apple's verified entitlement state so it can unlock or restore the purchased themes. The developer does not receive or store your payment-card details and does not operate a separate payment service. Apple's handling of App Store purchase information is governed by Apple's privacy policy.
Local storage and deletion
App data is stored locally by iOS for the Goblin Mode app. Settings can export a local JSON archive, import a validated archive, or replace local state with the default sample state. You can also delete local app data by deleting the app from your device. App Store purchase ownership is managed separately by Apple and is not stored in a cave archive.
Permissions
The current app is designed to run without requiring sensitive system permissions such as location, contacts, camera, microphone, HealthKit, or tracking permission.
Children
Goblin Mode is not directed to children under 13 and does not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Professional advice
Goblin Mode is a productivity and self-management tool. It is not medical, mental health, nutrition, financial, legal, or safety advice. Use your own judgment and seek qualified professional help when needed.
Changes
This policy may be updated as the app changes. The effective date at the top of this page will be updated when material changes are made.
