Whimscale is published by an independent iOS developer (Apple Developer Team ID ZM8LF8494F). For any privacy question, write to captainlongevity@gmail.com.
Is there a Whimscale server holding my numbers?
No. There is no Whimscale server. The values you enter (such as your birthday, height, hourly pay, or daily steps) live in this app's local store on your iPhone. We cannot read them, restore them, or move them.
How are the comparisons calculated?
Comparisons are calculated locally from entered numbers and bundled constants. Generation does not send your profile to us. A generated card you choose to share or save, widget summaries, Apple services and support correspondence are separate copies or interactions.
Do the heartbeat, breathing, and lifetime lenses read my real health data?
Whimscale uses no HealthKit and does not measure real biometrics. Heartbeat, breathing and lifetime totals are playful estimates based on typical constants and entered age, not medical measurements or advice. Body-related inputs can still be sensitive personal information.
Do the money lenses connect to my bank or accounts?
No. There is no bank connection and no financial account access of any kind. The money lenses use only a rate or price you type in, and they are for fun, not financial advice.
Do you collect analytics, crash logs, or an advertising identifier?
We have added no advertising, behavioural analytics or third-party crash-reporting SDK. Apple may provide purchase or diagnostic information through its developer services and user settings. Local profile inputs are not used for advertising tracking.
Does anything go to my iCloud or Apple ID?
There is no developer-operated or CloudKit profile sync. Apple device backups depend on settings and successful completion. A generated card saved to Photos may be synced by your Photos account, and sharing destinations and support are separate from the local profile database.
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.
This data may be included in your standard iOS Backups when you have those enabled. We do not have access to your iOS Backups. If you delete the app without an iOS Backup, your data is permanently lost. There is no in-app account, full-archive backup export/import or sync. A comparison card you choose to share is a readable result, not a restorable copy of all saved inputs and preferences.
aps-environment entitlement.Whimscale offers an optional one-time non-consumable unlock through StoreKit. The App processes product and transaction information to verify access, without receiving payment-card details or billing address. Apple displays the actual localized price; see Apple’s Privacy Policy.
You can manage notification and any add-only Photos permission in iOS Settings. The App requests no camera, microphone, photo-library browsing, location, HealthKit or contacts permission. Add-only Photos applies to saving a generated card from the system share sheet.
Whimscale is an entertainment app. It is not a budgeting, banking, health, fitness, or medical tool, and it provides no financial, medical, legal, or professional advice. The money lenses are for fun, not financial advice; the heartbeat, breathing, and lifetime lenses are playful estimates, not measurements. The app uses no "time left to live" or lifespan framing.
Whimscale has no developer-operated child account or profile-upload service. Personal inputs can still be sensitive. Support correspondence, Apple services, website requests and user-directed saved/shared copies are separate and follow the handling described here.
The profile is stored locally. Clear optional inputs and favorites using the App controls after successful saves; independently saved cards, widget/notification caches and older backups require separate management. Deleting the App is not a guarantee that all copies are erased. Contact support before deleting or reinstalling if records are unavailable.
Whimscale is published in English and marketed in the United States. The App does not route records through a developer-operated record server. Apple services, legal-page hosting, support correspondence and any sharing destination you choose may process information outside your country under their own policies. Those services are separate from the App’s local record storage.
If a future release ever changes how the app handles data - for example, if a later version ever introduces any sync, analytics, or third-party integration - we will update this policy and surface the change in the app before that feature becomes available. The "Last updated" date above reflects the most recent revision.

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.
If the original local database cannot be opened, the updated App shows recovery guidance without creating an empty substitute database or starting normal profile tasks. It keeps original files without promising automatic repair. Earlier widget summaries, notifications or independently saved cards may remain. Temporary form previews and intentional in-memory preview/test databases are not generally prohibited.
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.
Birthday onboarding previews remain in memory until the completion action successfully saves the birthday. My Data keeps raw numeric text while a field is being edited; complete nonnegative values are checked and saved when editing finishes. Incomplete or invalid text stays visible without silently clearing an earlier value. Opening a field does not round and rewrite existing precision. A failed field or favorite save reports an error, restores the operation’s earlier values and retains unrelated edits; failed fields offer retry. Closing the App or leaving a view can lose unsaved text and pending retry input. These temporary values are not a backup.
Birthday, height, weight, pay, salary, spending, movement and habit inputs can be sensitive personal information even though the App has no HealthKit or bank connection. Comparisons use typical constants and owner-entered numbers and are not actual biometric measurements, health interpretations, financial recommendations or predictions of remaining lifespan. Do not share a card containing information you are not authorised to disclose.
The App Group widget snapshot contains a birthday timestamp and the generated comparison title and headline; it does not copy every profile field. Free includes Seconds Alive and automatically rotating available free comparisons. Paid access lets you pin an available lens. Successful input changes refresh the summary; a valid profile with no ready comparison clears an earlier rotating headline. Widgets and optional milestone notification text can be visible outside the App. A failed database save does not publish its failed field value, but earlier summaries and schedules may remain until refreshed. Removing an input does not remove previously saved or shared images.
Generated card images contain the selected comparison, title, note and chosen style. The standard system share sheet may offer Save Image, which writes the generated card to Photos with add-only authorisation; Whimscale does not browse or import the photo library or capture camera images. Permission is requested only for the chosen system action, not during onboarding. Photos may sync or be backed up according to your Apple settings. A sharing destination receives the chosen card and may retain, forward or process it under its own policies. System rendering/sharing caches or temporary copies may remain after interruption or cleanup failure; no immediate or periodic purge is guaranteed.
Clear optional inputs through My Data and remove favorites through their controls. This changes the active profile after successful saves; there is no Recently Deleted or complete-profile archive export/import. Deleting the App normally removes its local container, but does not guarantee erasure of every App Group cache, system copy, Photos image, recipient copy or older device backup. Manage those copies separately. Generated cards are readable results and cannot restore your profile, favorites or settings. Device-backup recovery depends on a usable completed backup and Apple’s restoration process; we cannot retrieve that archive.
