Privacy Policy for Parable!
Effective September 17, 2026
This policy explains how the Parable! game and its support website handle information. For questions or privacy requests, contact parablegame.support@gmail.com.
Information on your device
Parable! does not require a separate app account. Game-night history and local achievement progress are stored on your device. Custom cards save locally first. When iCloud is available, the app syncs your custom-card deck to your private iCloud database using Apple CloudKit. It uses an account-specific identifier to keep each iCloud account’s local cards separate. We do not operate a separate server for your cards or publish them to other players.
Cards confirmed as synced can be recovered using the same iCloud account. Device-only or unsynced cards may be lost if you delete the app. Wait for the app to confirm sync before uninstalling. Existing device-only cards require your confirmation before import into an iCloud deck. Restore Purchases restores Plus ownership separately; it does not itself recover cards or game-night history.
Apple purchases
Apple processes purchases of Parable! Plus. The app uses Apple StoreKit to check verified purchase ownership, unlock Plus, and restore eligible purchases. Parable! does not receive your payment-card details. Apple handles purchase records and billing under its own privacy practices.
Optional Game Center
If you connect Game Center, Parable! accesses your Game Center player identifier and display name and reports achievement progress to Apple. The player identifier is also used to keep local achievement progress associated with the correct player. Game Center is optional and is not required for core gameplay. Manage Game Center through your Apple device settings.
Sharing
If you choose to share a game-night recap, the content you share is passed to the app or destination you select. That destination handles it under its own privacy practices.
Support email
If you email support, your email address and the information you choose to send are received in the support Gmail inbox and used to respond to your request and troubleshoot the issue. Do not send passwords, payment-card details, or sensitive personal information. You may email support to request deletion of your correspondence, subject to any applicable recordkeeping requirements.
Advertising and tracking
Parable! does not include advertising networks or use your custom cards for advertising. The game does not request tracking permission or access to your contacts, precise location, or microphone for gameplay.
Apple diagnostics and test versions
Apple may provide developers with app analytics, crash information, or TestFlight feedback according to your Apple settings and use of its services. Do not include sensitive information in test feedback or screenshots.
This website
This support site is hosted by Google Sites, and support email is handled by Gmail. Google may process technical information such as IP addresses, browser information, and cookies when you use its services. We have not added advertising, Google Analytics, or a contact form to this site.

Your choices
You can play without Game Center, choose not to share recaps, and contact support without sending private game content. Core gameplay does not require iCloud. Deleting the app removes local data but does not necessarily delete cards already stored in iCloud. Use your Apple device’s iCloud storage controls to manage app data held in iCloud. Removing cloud data may prevent future recovery; preserve any cards you want to keep first. To manage Apple-held account, purchase, or Game Center information, use Apple’s account and privacy controls.
Children and families
Parable! is designed for shared, in-person play. A parent or guardian should handle purchases and support requests for children. Please do not include children’s personal information in custom cards or support messages.
Changes and contact
