This policy describes how the iPhone and iPad app StrandsLine (“the App”) handles information. The App is an unofficial worksheet and is not affiliated with The New York Times.
Depending on how you use the App, it may store on your device:
If Sync saved boards with iCloud is on and the device is signed into iCloud, saved boards may sync through Apple’s private CloudKit for your Apple ID. The developer does not have a public copy of your boards and cannot open another person’s private database. You can turn sync off in Settings. Boards already on the device stay there. Apple’s handling of iCloud data follows Apple’s privacy policy and your Apple ID settings.
When you open a day that is not already saved on the device, the App requests that day’s letter grid over HTTPS. The response can contain more than the grid. The App keeps the letters and the clue for your worksheet. It does not store that response’s answer list as the day’s answers. Words the game accepted can be added to the local word list described above.
Tips are optional consumable in-app purchases sold by Apple through StoreKit. Apple processes the payment. The App does not receive your card number. A tip does not add features or answers.
Press and hold a saved day in the calendar to delete that day’s marks from the device. If a bonus board is saved, you can delete just that board. Deleting the App removes its local files. Data already in your private iCloud follows your Apple ID settings.
