Privacy, at a glance.
This policy covers Ithaca: The Journey Home and its marketing and support pages. The developer is Christos Kesidis, based in Crete, Greece. For privacy questions, contact c.kesid@icloud.com.
The app does not send your gameplay or preferences to a developer-operated server. It has no player accounts, advertising, tracking SDKs, or third-party analytics integrations. We do not sell personal information or use it for targeted advertising.
Your progress stays on your device.
The app stores completed-puzzle identifiers, hint use, language preferences, and whether you have seen the opening screens locally on your device. These records let it unlock chapters and scenes, show your progress, and resume the journey. They are not transmitted to us by the app.
Puzzles, illustrations, and story passages are bundled with the app. Playing does not require an account or a server connection. Deleting the app removes its local data from the device. Apple backups may include app data according to your settings; backup copies and their retention are controlled through Apple’s services. The app does not provide its own cloud synchronisation, and reinstalling does not guarantee progress restoration.
Apple services.
Apple handles App Store downloads and payments. We do not receive payment-card details. Apple may process purchase records, device backups, and platform diagnostics under its own policies and your settings. If you choose to share diagnostic information with developers through Apple, Apple may make relevant diagnostics available to help identify problems.
These platform services are separate from the app’s local progress storage. See Apple’s privacy policy for details about Apple’s processing.
If you contact us.
When you email support, we receive the email address, message, and attachments you choose to send. We use them to respond, investigate the issue, and maintain relevant support records. Support messages are not added to a marketing list.
Support correspondence is kept only as long as reasonably needed to handle the request, maintain relevant records, and meet applicable legal obligations. You may ask us to delete it, subject to any required retention. Email providers process messages under their own terms and privacy policies.
When you visit this website.
These Journey Home pages do not include advertising trackers, analytics scripts, a contact form, or embedded third-party video players. The shared developer homepage, apps catalogue and ECG Reports pages use first-party aggregate counters, described in the website statistics policy. Images and fonts are served with the site. We do not set analytics or advertising cookies.
Hosting and security providers may process technical request information, including IP address, browser information, access logs, and necessary security cookies, to deliver and protect the website. The site uses OpenAI Sites and Cloudflare infrastructure. See the privacy policies of OpenAI and Cloudflare. Following an external link takes you to a service governed by its own policy. An email link opens your chosen email application.
Your choices and rights.
You can manage app storage and backups using your Apple device settings. There is no developer account to close and no developer-hosted gameplay history to request. For personal information you send through support, contact c.kesid@icloud.com to request access, correction, or deletion.
Depending on applicable law, you may also have rights to restrict or object to processing and to complain to your local data-protection authority. We will handle requests as required by the law that applies to them.
Children’s privacy.
The app does not ask players of any age to create an account or provide personal information. If you believe a child has sent personal information through support and would like it removed, please contact us.
Changes and contact.
If the app or these practices change, this policy will be updated and the date below will change. Material changes will be described here. For questions, contact c.kesid@icloud.com.
