Privacy Policy

Last Updated: November 11, 2026

This Privacy Policy describes how Nemo Aquarium ("the App") handles your information. The App is designed to keep your data on your device and in your own iCloud, and to never send it to servers run by the developer.

1. Data Collection

No Account Required: The App does not require an account. The developer does not collect names, email addresses, phone numbers, or any personally identifiable information, and does not collect any data from your use of the App.

2. Apple Health (Optional, Read-Only)

If you choose to connect Apple Health, the App reads the following data through HealthKit: steps, exercise minutes, activity rings, sleep, and mindful minutes. Access is read-only: the App never writes to Apple Health.

This data is processed only on your device to award in-game "Tide Points". Raw health values are never stored in the game save and are never transmitted to the developer or to any third party. Only the Tide Points you earn are saved.

Connecting Apple Health is optional, and the game is fully playable without it. You can revoke access at any time in Settings › Privacy & Security › Health › Nemo Aquarium, or in the Health app under Sharing › Apps › Nemo Aquarium.

3. Game Save & iCloud

Your game progress (fish, decorations, Tide Points, and settings) is stored on your device. If iCloud is enabled, it is synced between your devices through your own iCloud account using iCloud key-value storage. The developer cannot access your iCloud data.

4. Home Screen Widget

The widget reads a small local snapshot of your tank, shared with the App through an App Group on your device. This snapshot never leaves your device.

5. Notifications

Reminders are local notifications scheduled on your device. The App does not use push notification servers and does not send your data anywhere to deliver them. You can turn them off in Settings › Notifications › Nemo Aquarium.

6. Analytics & Tracking

The App does not run any analytics. In this beta there are no third-party analytics SDKs, no advertising, no attribution tools, and no cross-app tracking. The App does not use the App Tracking Transparency identifier (IDFA) and does not share any data with data brokers.

7. In-App Purchases & Ads

This beta has no in-app purchases and no ads, and the developer collects no payment information. A future version may add optional in-app purchases and ads. If that happens, this Privacy Policy will be updated before those features are released, and the App Store privacy details will be updated to match.

8. Data Sharing

The developer does not sell, rent, or share your data with third parties. Because the App does not collect personal information in the first place, there is nothing to share.

9. Children's Privacy

The App does not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13. Since no personal data is collected from any user, the App is compliant with COPPA regulations.

10. Your Rights & Data Deletion

You own your data. To delete it, delete the App from your device, then clear its iCloud data under Settings › [your name] › iCloud › Manage Account Storage (or Manage Storage) › Nemo Aquarium › Delete Data. Because the developer does not operate any server that stores your data, there is no separate account deletion request to make.

11. Changes to This Policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time. Please review this page periodically for any changes. Changes are effective immediately upon being posted.
