Sparkwell is published by an independent iOS developer (Apple Developer Team ID ZM8LF8494F). For any privacy question, write to captainlongevity@gmail.com.
Does Sparkwell have an account or a login?
No. You open the app and start. There is no sign-up, no email, no password, and no profile. Nothing identifies you to us, because there is no "us" on the other end — there is no Sparkwell server.
Where do the cards and my favorites live?
All 290 cards ship inside the app and work fully offline. When you mark a card as a favorite, that choice is saved in the app's local store on your iPhone (along with a note of which cards you have already seen, so the deck can stay fresh). The App does not automatically upload this information to the developer. Device backups, chosen sharing and support messages are separate.
Does the app collect analytics or use any tracking?
No. Sparkwell contains no analytics framework, no advertising network, and no third-party tracking of any kind. It does not build a profile of you and has nothing to sell or share. Its App Store privacy label is "Data Not Collected."
Does Sparkwell use the internet?
The card experience is completely offline. The one network interaction is the in-app purchase: when you buy the Full Deck Unlock, or tap "Restore Purchase," the app asks Apple's App Store whether you own that purchase. That exchange is handled by Apple's StoreKit and is governed by Apple's privacy policy; Sparkwell never sees your payment details.
Does the app use my camera, photos, location, contacts, or health data?
No. Sparkwell requests none of those. The only optional permission is Notifications, which you can turn on in Settings if you want a single daily card reminder. If you leave it off, every other feature still works.
What happens to my favorites if I delete the app?
Your favorites are stored only on your device. They may be included in standard iOS backups (iCloud Backup or a Finder backup) if you have those enabled. If you delete Sparkwell without a backup available, your saved favorites are removed with the app; reinstalling brings back the full card library, but not your previous favorites.
Device-backup contents and recovery depend on your system settings, a successfully completed usable backup and Apple’s restoration process; enabling backup alone does not guarantee recovery of every record or original file. We cannot retrieve or restore your device backups.
Use the age rating shown on your regional App Store listing and applicable local requirements. The Romance category contains mild, non-explicit prompts for partners and is hidden by default unless enabled in the filter. The app collects no information from anyone, including children.
If a future release ever introduces any feature that would change how data is handled, this policy will be updated before that release ships, and any such feature would be clearly described in the app. As of this version, Sparkwell collects no data and makes no network calls except for Apple in-app purchase verification.

These legal pages are hosted on Vercel. Opening a page sends ordinary request information, such as the IP address, browser information and requested URL, to the host for delivery and security; see Vercel’s Privacy Notice. This website request is separate from App record storage. If you email support, we receive the address and information you choose to send so we can respond. Send only the details needed for that request.
The updated App pauses the normal record interface if its original persistent database cannot be opened, with an unavailable-records message and no blank production in-memory fallback. The App keeps the existing database and attachment files instead of treating a replacement as your archive. Database-dependent startup work in that interface is paused; previously scheduled reminders, widget snapshots or independent copies may remain.
Check available device storage, close and reopen the App, and contact support before deleting or reinstalling it. This recovery screen is not a backup, a repair guarantee or an automatic restoration of missing records. Older installed versions may behave differently until updated.
Favorite and seen-state changes are saved through checked database operations. A failure retains the previous state, shows a message and does not deliberately advance the deck as if the seen-state save succeeded. The bundled-card import strictly reads existing identifiers, adds missing cards in a checked operation, and retains existing card text, favorites and seen dates. Failed preparation can be retried rather than being marked complete with a partial catalog. Intentional preview/test memory stores remain writable. Audience, romance/filter preferences, reminder enablement, onboarding and purchase-access cache are stored separately in local preferences; these can be personal preferences even without a developer upload. Daily reminder enablement is saved before scheduling, and schedule/removal requests are serialized so an older addition does not revive a disabled reminder. A generic daily reminder is planned for 7 PM after permission; it contains no selected prompt or favorite. iOS can refuse, delay or retain a request, and an enabled preference is not proof of delivery. The system notification surface is separate from the App’s local store. Ordinary temporary deck position is not a complete backup. Restore Purchase restores eligible unlock access, not favorite history.
