ArachnidSphere Privacy Policy
Effective October 4, 2026 · updated for in-app purchase
The short version: ArachnidSphere does not collect, transmit or share any personal information. There are no accounts, no ads, no analytics and no tracking. The game works entirely offline, and your progress stays on your device.
This policy explains how ArachnidSphere (the "app"), a puzzle game made by Merc Industries ("we", "us"), handles information. It applies to the iOS app, including test builds distributed through TestFlight.
Information we collect
None. The app does not ask for your name, email address, location, contacts, photos or any other personal information, and it has no sign-in or account system.
Information stored on your device
To remember your game, the app saves a small amount of data locally on your device:
- which levels you have unlocked and your best score on each level
- whether you have finished the tutorial
This data never leaves your device. We cannot see it, and it is not sent to us or to anyone else. It is removed when you delete the app.
Internet access
The app does not connect to the internet. All graphics and sounds are generated on your device, and the game does not contact any servers, including ours.
Device permissions
The app does not request access to your camera, microphone, location, contacts, photos, Bluetooth or any other protected feature. It uses your device's vibration (haptic feedback) during play, which requires no permission and involves no data.
In-app purchase
Chapter 1 of the game is free. The rest can be unlocked with a one-time in-app purchase. Purchases are handled entirely by Apple through the App Store: we never see or receive your payment details, your Apple ID or your billing information. To know whether the full game is unlocked, the app asks Apple's StoreKit system on your device, and it remembers the answer locally so the game works offline. This check does not send any information to us.
Third parties
The app contains no advertising, analytics, social media or tracking software, and we do not sell or share data with anyone.
The app is distributed by Apple through the App Store and TestFlight, which are covered by Apple's Privacy Policy. If you choose to share analytics with app developers in your device settings, Apple may provide us with anonymous, aggregated information such as crash reports and usage statistics. This information does not identify you. If you join the TestFlight beta, Apple shares with us the name and email address you were invited with, along with any feedback, screenshots or crash reports you choose to send through TestFlight. We use that only to improve the game and to communicate with you about the beta.
Children
ArachnidSphere is suitable for players of all ages. Because the app collects no personal information from anyone, it collects none from children under 13.
Changes to this policy
If we change how the app handles information, we will update this page and the effective date above. If a future version ever collects data, this policy will be updated to say what is collected and why before that version is released.
