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). That information never leaves your device through Sparkwell.
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 are 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.
Sparkwell is rated 17+ and is intended for adults. The Spicy category is tasteful and not explicit, and sits behind a filter that can be turned off. 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.
