Effective date: 14 August 2026

Crownfall is a pass-the-phone party game made by Kola Systems. This page explains, in plain language, what the app does with information. It is short, because the app does very little.

The short version

Crownfall does not collect anything about you.

There are no accounts. There is no sign-up, no login, no email address, no profile. The app has no server of its own, and it never sends us anything — not the names you type, not the categories you write, not how often you play, not even the fact that you opened it.

Crownfall does make one kind of internet connection, and it is worth being precise about it: the app asks a purchase service whether this device has the premium unlock. That question contains nothing you typed and nothing that identifies you. It is explained in full below.

What Crownfall stores on your device

The app saves a few things on your phone so the game remembers where you left off. All of it lives in Crownfall's own private storage on your device, the sandboxed area that iOS gives every app and that other apps cannot read.

What is saved Why
The player names you type for the table So a returning group doesn't have to re-enter everyone every time
Custom categories you write — the category name, its emoji, and its list of words So your own categories are still there next time you play
Which categories are selected, how many rounds, and how many Dongas So the setup you like is one tap away
Your language choice, and the sound, script and reduced-motion switches So your settings stick
Whether this device has the premium unlock (just the word “premium” or “free”) So your purchase still works when you have no signal

Two things are worth calling out.

Player names and custom category words are the most personal things here, and Crownfall never sends them anywhere. They are written to your device's storage and read back by the game. They are not uploaded, not analysed, and not shared with anyone. They are not part of the purchase check described below. We never see them, and neither does any other company. Nobody does, except the people around the table.

The secret word and who the Donga is are not even saved.
An in-progress round lives in memory only and is gone when the app closes.

About your device backups

Because this data sits in Crownfall's normal app storage, it may be included in the backups you make of your own iPhone or iPad — an iCloud backup or an encrypted computer backup. That is your backup, under your Apple Account, governed by Apple's privacy policy. We have no access to it and receive nothing from it.

What leaves your device

Nothing you type. Ever.

We have no server, so there is nowhere for your information to go and nobody to receive it. The app does not send analytics, usage statistics, diagnostics, crash reports, or any other “telemetry” — because none of that software is in the app at all. We cannot tell how many rounds you have played, or whether you have played at all.

The one connection Crownfall does make is the purchase check, described next.

Purchases, and the one connection the app makes

Two companies are involved in selling the premium unlock — Apple and RevenueCat — and it is worth knowing exactly what each one does.

When the check happens

The app asks whether this device has the premium unlock. That question is asked when you open the game setup screen, not only when you buy something — so it happens for everyone, including players who never buy anything and never open the purchase screen. We would rather say that plainly than let you discover it.

The question contains no player names, no custom categories, and nothing that identifies you. It is answered “yes” or “no”, and the answer is remembered on your device so the game still works when you have no signal.

Apple

Apple takes the payment. Your card details, your Apple Account, your name and your billing address go to Apple, and Apple never gives any of that to us. We learn nothing about who bought the app. This is how every App Store purchase works, and it is covered by Apple's privacy policy.

You manage or cancel a subscription in your device's Settings, under your Apple Account — not in Crownfall.

RevenueCat

Crownfall uses a service called RevenueCat to check whether a purchase is genuine and whether a subscription is still active. RevenueCat is the service the app asks, and each time it asks, RevenueCat receives:

  • A random, anonymous ID that the software generates on your
    device. It is not your name, your email, or your Apple Account. It is a random
    string that exists only so the same device can be recognised as the one that paid.
  • The App Store receipt for the purchase — which product was
    bought and when.
  • Your device's “vendor identifier.” This is an
    identifier Apple gives to apps from the same developer. It is not your name and it
    is not the advertising identifier. It resets if you delete the app from your device.
  • Basic technical details — which App Store country you're
    buying in, your iOS version, the app version, and (as with any internet request)
    your IP address.

We never send RevenueCat anything that identifies you. The app does not attach an email address, a name, a phone number, or any player name or custom category to that anonymous ID — the code that would do so simply isn't there. Crownfall asks RevenueCat one question, “does this device have premium?”, and gets back yes or no.

RevenueCat processes this on our behalf, for the sole purpose of making purchases work. Their own privacy policy is at revenuecat.com/privacy.

What Crownfall does not do

To be completely clear, and because plenty of games do these things:

  • No accounts. You cannot sign up, and we could not contact you if we wanted to.
  • No analytics. We do not measure how you play, what you tap, or how long you stay. No analytics software is in the app.
  • No crash reporting. If the app crashes, nothing is sent to us.
  • No advertising. There are no ads, no ad networks, and no ad identifiers.
  • No tracking. Crownfall does not track you across other apps or websites, and it will never show you the “Ask App Not to Track” prompt, because there is nothing to ask about.
  • No selling or sharing of data. We have no data about you to sell, share, rent, or hand to a data broker. This is not a promise we might revise quietly — there is no pipeline that could carry it.
  • No location, camera, microphone, photos, or contacts. Crownfall never asks for access to any of them.
  • No push notifications. The app cannot message you.

Children's privacy

Crownfall is a party game and children may well play it. Because the app collects no personal information from anyone, it collects none from children either. There is nothing to sign up for, no ads, no chat, no links to other people's content, and no way for anyone to contact a player through the app.

The only thing that costs money is the premium unlock, and that goes through Apple's own payment system. Parents who want to prevent purchases can use Ask to Buy or turn off in-app purchases in Screen Time on the device.

If you believe a child has somehow provided personal information through this app, please contact us at the address below — although, given the app has no way to receive information, this should not be possible.

Your choices, and deleting everything

To delete everything Crownfall has stored: delete the app. Removing Crownfall from your device removes the player names, the custom categories, the settings, and the saved unlock status along with it. There is no “account deletion” step because there is no account, and nothing to delete on our end because we hold nothing.

You can also clear things individually inside the app: delete a custom category you no longer want, or change the names on the roster.

Because we hold no information that identifies you, there is nothing for us to look up, export, correct, or delete if you ask — there is no file with your name on it, anywhere. That is not a way of declining the request; it is the honest answer.

If you want to know what Apple or RevenueCat hold about a purchase, their policies (linked above) explain how to ask them directly.

Changes to this policy

If the app changes in a way that affects this policy, we will update this page and change the effective date at the top. If a future version of Crownfall ever starts collecting something it doesn't collect today, we will say so here clearly and plainly, before it ships — not bury it in a longer document.
