Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 3, 2026

Whensly is a daily game where you place real moments in the order they happened. We built it to respect your privacy. The Whensly app has no accounts and never asks for your name, email, or any personal profile. This policy explains the limited data the app uses — and the one optional thing the website collects — and why.

What we collect

Anonymous gameplay analytics. To tune difficulty and improve the puzzles, the app records how plays go — which moments were placed, whether a placement was right, and how long it took — tied to a random identifier generated on your device. This identifier is not your name, email, Apple ID, or advertising ID, and is not used to track you across other apps or sites.

Advertising (Google AdMob). Whensly is free and shows ads. Our ad provider, Google AdMob, may use a device advertising identifier to show and measure ads. On first launch we ask your permission (Apple's App Tracking Transparency prompt); if you decline, you'll still see ads, but non-personalized. You can remove ads entirely with a one-time purchase or a Whensly+ subscription.

Purchases. Subscriptions and in-app purchases are processed by Apple. We use RevenueCat to manage your purchase/entitlement status, identified by a random app-user ID — not your personal identity. We never see your card or payment details.

Crash & diagnostics (Sentry). To find and fix crashes and errors, the app sends crash reports and basic diagnostic data (device model, OS version, and what the app was doing) to our error-monitoring provider, Sentry. This is tied to the same random per-install identifier described above — not your name, email, Apple ID, or advertising ID — and isn't used to track you across other apps or sites.

Game Center (optional). If you're signed into Apple's Game Center, the app submits your streak scores to leaderboards. Game Center and your alias are managed by Apple under its own privacy policy — we never see your Apple ID. You can turn Game Center off in iOS Settings.

Website waitlist (optional). If you enter your email on whensly.com to be notified at launch, we store just that email so we can send you a one-time heads-up when the app is live. We won't sell it, use it for ads, or send anything unrelated, and you can ask us to remove it anytime at [email protected].

How we use it

We do not sell your personal information, and we don't build an advertising profile of you ourselves.

Third-party services

These providers process data as described above under their own policies:

Children

Whensly is a general-audience app and is not directed to children under 13.

Data retention & security

Anonymous analytics are kept only as long as useful for improving the game. Because we don't collect personal identifiers, there is no personal account to access or delete. Purchase records are retained by Apple and RevenueCat per their policies.

Changes

We'll update this page if our practices change, and revise the date above.
