Temple of the High Priestess is a single-player story RPG. It has no ads, no third-party analytics or tracking SDKs and no account sign-up. The prologue and first region are free; the rest of the story is a one-time in-app purchase, and there is an optional cosmetic Supporter Pack. This policy explains the small amount of data the app sends to our own server so your progress is backed up, your purchases unlock on all your devices, and we can see whether the free part of the game and the unlock screen are working.
| Data | Why | Linked to you? |
|---|---|---|
| Random player ID: an install identifier and secret the app generates. It is stored in your iCloud Keychain, so it can reach your other devices on the same Apple ID. | Identifies your save data on our server. It is not your Apple ID, name, email, advertising identifier or device serial. | Yes, to that random ID only |
| Game progress: save slots (story flags, party, items, map position, play time, temple progress) and game settings (volume, text speed, voice on/off) | Cloud backup and sync of your progress | Yes, to the random ID |
| App version and the times saves were made | Resolving save conflicts and compatibility | Yes, to the random ID |
| Purchase history: the App Store's signed transaction for each in-app purchase you make (product, transaction IDs, purchase date, App Store environment, whether it came through Family Sharing) and refund/revocation notices the App Store sends us about those transactions | Verifying purchases and unlocking the Full Game or Supporter Pack. A refunded purchase is locked again. | Yes, to the random ID |
| Product interaction: four first-party events (the unlock screen was shown, a purchase completed, Restore Purchases was used, a story region was completed) with the screen placement, the product ID and price offered (including which price-test group you are in) and the app version | Understanding whether the free part of the game and the unlock screen work (aggregate counts only) | Yes, to the random ID |
We never see your payment details: purchases are handled entirely by Apple, and the transaction we receive contains no name, email, payment card or Apple ID. We do not collect your name, email, contacts, location, photos, microphone audio or browsing history. We do not use your data for tracking or advertising, and we do not sell or share it with third parties.
On launch the app may download updated game content (story text, balance numbers, the wording of the unlock screen and feature switches) from grepawk.com. The content is digitally signed and only ever contains data, never code. That request includes only the app's built-in content version, not your player ID. As with any web request, our server sees your IP address in standard, short-lived server logs.
Progress, purchase records and events are stored on our server at grepawk.com (DigitalOcean, United States) for as long as you keep playing; events older than 13 months are deleted. The server also keeps the 10 most recent earlier versions of each save slot so a mistaken sync can be undone. A copy also stays on your iPhone.
The app does not knowingly collect personal information from children, and the only data it collects is the pseudonymous progress, purchase and event data described above. Purchases by children are subject to Apple's parental controls (Ask to Buy).
If this policy changes, we will update this page and its effective date.
