What Time Freeze does with your data

Effective 20 September 2026
Applies to Time Freeze 1.0 for iOS

Time Freeze is a single-player puzzle game with no account system, no advertising, and no in-app purchases. One thing leaves your device: an anonymous score record for the leaderboards. This page describes it in full.

Stays on your device

  • Your save file — which levels you have cleared, stars earned, and any level in progress
  • Settings: sound, ambient audio, haptics, reduce motion, high contrast, tutorial hints
  • Ghost replays of your own runs
  • Everything the game needs to be played, start to finish

Sent to our server

  • A random player ID the app generates for itself
  • Totals: stars, levels cleared, best Endless stage and score, Mastery marks held
  • Daily Puzzle results for the day you played
  • The platform string ios and your app version

1Who we are

Time Freeze is made by the Time Freeze development team. For any question about this policy, or to make a request about your data, write to support@pansdoor.com.

2What leaves your device

The game sends one record, and only when it can reach our server. Nothing is sent while you are offline, and nothing is sent in the background when you are not playing.

3What we never collect

We do not track you across other apps or websites, and we do not sell or share data with advertisers or data brokers.

4Why we collect it

To run the leaderboards: to rank scores, and to show you where you stand. That is the whole purpose. We do not use your data for advertising, profiling, marketing, research, or to build a picture of how you play beyond what a leaderboard needs.

5Who else handles it

Cloudflare. Our API runs on Cloudflare Workers with a Cloudflare D1 database. Cloudflare processes requests on our behalf as our hosting provider and does not use your data for its own purposes. As with any web service, a request carries technical information such as your IP address, and Cloudflare may retain it briefly in its logs for security and abuse prevention. Our own code never stores your IP address and never uses it to identify you.

Apple. Apple handles the App Store download and any payments under Apple's own privacy policy. We never see your Apple ID.

6What other players can see

The leaderboards are visible to everyone playing the game. An entry shows a display name and a score — SwiftDragon4821, 148 stars. Nothing else.

There is no way to work back from a display name to a person. The name is derived from a random ID that exists only inside your device's Keychain, and it is not linked to any account, email address, or real name. Because display names are generated rather than typed, the boards carry no user-generated content.

7How long we keep it

Leaderboard rows are kept for as long as they are needed to rank players. Daily Puzzle rows are pruned periodically, and records that have not synced for a long time are removed. You can delete everything at once, whenever you like.

8Deleting your data

Open Settings in the game and hold DELETE CLOUD DATA. This removes your rows from the leaderboards and makes the app forget its player ID, so the next sync registers as a brand-new player. Your progress on the device is not touched.

Two things worth knowing

Deletion is immediate and cannot be undone.

We cannot delete data on your behalf, because we have no way to tell which record is yours. The only link between you and a leaderboard row is the random player ID in your device's Keychain — we hold no name, email, or account that could identify it. The same fact explains two other things about the game: reinstalling starts you over as a new player, and a leaderboard position can never be restored.

9Children

Time Freeze is a puzzle game suitable for all ages and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children — the app collects no personal information from anyone.

10Security

Data travels to our API over HTTPS. The player ID is held in the iOS Keychain. Because we store no names, emails, or credentials, our records are pseudonymous score totals: even a full disclosure of our database could not identify the person behind a row.

11Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, we update the effective date at the top of this page. Material changes will also be noted in the app's App Store release notes.
