Bingo Buddy (the "App") is made by Greenfield Labs LLC ("we", "us"). This policy explains what information the App uses, why, and the choices you have. In short: there's no account, we don't run any servers, and your cards, games and photos stay on your iPhone. The App is free, with no ads and no in-app purchases.
The App saves the cards you scan or type in (their numbers, names and the sheets they belong to), photos of your sheets, the games you play and the numbers called in them, any game programs you save, and your settings, such as the theme and dauber colour. All of this is stored on your iPhone and is not sent to us or to anyone else.
The App keeps its own copy of each sheet photo at a reduced size, without location (GPS) information. It doesn't add photos to your photo library.
If iCloud Backup is turned on, your iPhone includes this information in its backup, which Apple stores and protects. The photo of a scan you haven't finished saving is left out of backups.
The App groups your cards into sessions (one visit to your bingo hall, with many games). A session ends by itself after the App has been quiet for 6 hours, and the next time you open the App it clears that session's sheets and their photos. Finished games stay in History, with a copy of the numbers on the cards that were played, until you delete them. Game programs stay until you delete them.
You can also delete things yourself in the App:
Something you delete disappears from the App straight away, though some of its details can stay in the App's storage on your iPhone. Deleting the App removes everything it stored on your iPhone. Copies in an existing iCloud backup are removed when that backup is deleted or replaced (iOS Settings > [your name] > iCloud > Manage Account Storage > Backups).
The App uses the camera only when you choose to scan cards. It reads the numbers on your iPhone with Apple's on-device text recognition; your photos are never uploaded. If you choose a photo instead, iOS shows its own photo picker and the App receives only the photo you pick. It can't see the rest of your photo library and doesn't ask for access to it.

If you test a pre-release version through Apple TestFlight, Apple shares limited information with us, such as your name or email address (as entered in your invitation), device and app version, crash reports and any feedback or screenshots you choose to send. We use it only to improve the App. See TestFlight & Privacy.
Bingo Buddy is for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13. It doesn't collect personal information from anyone.
Depending on where you live (for example under the GDPR, the CCPA or Canada's PIPEDA), you may have rights to access, correct or delete personal information, or to object to its use. We don't hold personal information about you: what the App stores stays on your iPhone, where you can delete it as described above. If you have a question or request, contact us at the address below.
If this policy changes, we'll update this page and its effective date.
