Privacy Policy
Polydish is a dinner planner for iPhone that puts your dishes on a 3D die. It is operated by its developer as listed on the App Store ("we", "us").
This policy explains what happens to information when you use the Polydish app and this website, polydish.info. The short answer: almost everything stays on your iPhone.
Summary
Here is the short version. We hope you read the whole policy too.
- No account, no ads, no analytics and no third-party SDKs. (read more)
- Your dice, dishes, plans, ratings and shopping list are stored only on your device. (read more)
- The app asks for notifications only for a local dinner reminder. (read more)
- Nothing leaves your iPhone unless you share it yourself. (read more)
- We only see what you send us by email. (read more)
- This website sets no cookies and runs no trackers. (read more)
1Information stored in the app
Polydish works fully offline. To do its job it keeps the following on your iPhone:
- your dice, the dishes on them, their icons, ingredients and face counts;
- your week plan, cooked dinners, ratings and dinner log;
- your shopping list, including items you add yourself;
- settings such as People at the table, What we eat, sound, haptics, Shake to roll and notifications;
- progress toward die materials and which tips you have already seen.
This information is saved in the app's own storage on the device and is never sent to us. We have no server that receives it, and we cannot see it. It is included in your device backups according to your iCloud or computer backup settings, which Apple handles under its own privacy policy.
You can delete everything at any time with Settings → Reset everything in the app, or by deleting the app.
2Permissions
Notifications
Right after onboarding the app asks once whether it may send notifications. If you allow it, Polydish schedules a local reminder at 4:30 pm with the dish planned for that day. These reminders are created on your iPhone; no push service or server is involved. You can turn them off in the app or in iOS Settings.
Photos (add only)
If you choose Save Image from the share sheet for a dinner or week card, iOS asks for permission to add the picture to your photo library. Polydish cannot read your photos.
Motion
The optional Shake to roll feature reads the device's motion sensors to notice a shake. This needs no permission, happens only while the app is open and is not stored.
3Sharing
You can share a Tonight's dinner image, a week image or your shopping list as text through the standard iOS share sheet. The content goes only to the app or person you pick. Once shared, it is handled under the privacy terms of that app or service.
4Crash reports
If you have agreed in iOS to share analytics with app developers, Apple may send us anonymous crash reports and basic diagnostics. We use them only to find and fix bugs. You can change this in iOS Settings under Privacy & Security → Analytics & Improvements.
5When you contact us
If you write to support@polydish.info or use the contact form on this website, we receive your email address, your name if you give it and the content of your message. The form does not send anything to a server: it opens your own email app with the message filled in.
We use these messages only to answer you and to improve the app. We keep them as long as needed to resolve your request and then delete them. We never use them for marketing and never sell them.
6This website
polydish.info is hosted on Cloudflare Pages. To deliver pages and protect the site, Cloudflare processes technical data such as your IP address, browser type and the time of your visit. This website sets no cookies, uses no analytics or advertising tools and loads its fonts from its own server.
7Children
Polydish is a family dinner planner and is not directed at children under 13. The app does not collect personal information from anyone. If you believe a child has sent us personal information by email, contact us and we will delete it.
8Your rights
Because the app keeps your data on your device, you control it directly: you can view, change or delete it in the app at any time. For messages you have sent us, you can ask us to access, correct or delete them, or object to how we use them. If you live in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, you also have the right to complain to your local data protection authority.
9Security and retention
Data in the app is protected by your iPhone's own security, such as your passcode and device encryption. Emails are kept only as long as described in section 5.
10Changes to this policy
If the app or this website changes how information is handled, we will update this page and the date at the top. Significant changes will also be mentioned in the app's release notes.
