Privacy Policy
Canasta: Large Print · Updated 2026-11-07
The short version: Canasta collects no data. Your games, scores and settings stay on your device. Online games go through Apple's Game Center only when you start one. Canasta has no servers, no accounts, no ads and no tracking.
Data we collect
None. Agentic Quarks never receives your games, your scores, your statistics or how you use the app. Canasta has no servers of its own, no third-party SDKs, no analytics and no advertising identifiers. In App Store terms: Data Not Collected. You can check this yourself in Settings > Privacy & Security > App Privacy Report.
Playing the computer and on one device
Games against the computer, Learn mode and pass and play run entirely on your device and work offline. The computer players only look at their own cards and the table. A game in progress is saved in the app's private storage on your device so you can continue it, and is deleted when you delete the app.
Game Center (only when you start an online game)
Playing with friends uses Apple's Game Center, and only when you tap to invite a friend, find a player or start a live game. Game Center matches carry the state of the game (the cards, the table and the scores) between the players, and show each player's Game Center display name to the others. That data is handled by Apple under your Apple Account and Apple's privacy policy; Agentic Quarks cannot see it. If you never start an online game, Game Center is never used. Computer players in an online game are always marked as computers.
Purchases, sounds and feedback
Canasta Pro is a one-time purchase handled by Apple; we receive no payment details. The card sounds are short recordings bundled inside the app, and Canasta never uses your microphone. If you choose Send Feedback or Request a Feature, your mail app opens a message with the app version, build and system version filled in, and nothing is sent unless you send it.
Advertising
Canasta shows no ads and never will. If you installed the app after seeing an ad for it, Apple's privacy-preserving SKAdNetwork may send the advertiser an anonymous, delayed install count. The app itself sends nothing and uses no identifier for this.
No gambling
There are no chips, coins, betting or prizes in Canasta, and nothing can be won or bought with real money besides the one-time Pro purchase.
Children and changes
The app collects nothing from anyone, children included. If a future version ever changes any of this, this page will say so before that version ships.
