1. The main point
You do not need to tell us who you are to use First Sign.
The app requires no registration or sign-in. It does not collect or transmit personal information, device identifiers, usage records, or your inputs to us. We do not build user profiles or track your activity across other apps or websites.
This policy distinguishes processing on your device from support emails you choose to send and external websites you choose to visit.
2. Information handled inside the app
Object placement, hidden-cat searches, cipher conversions, number puzzles, and case interactions are processed on your device.
Text entered into Cipher Lab, number combinations, and case answers are not sent to us.
The app does not collect your name, email address, phone number, precise location, contacts, personal photographs, real messages, advertising identifier, or payment details. Messages, photographs, and records presented in cases are story materials, not information retrieved from your private accounts or device contents.
We do not integrate advertising, behavioral analytics, tracking, or third-party crash-reporting tools that collect user data within the app.
3. Local progress is not an uploaded record
First Sign saves relevant progress and settings on your device to display completed scenes, unfinished cases, and other activity states. These local records are not uploaded to servers operated by us, and we cannot inspect them remotely.
You can remove the app’s local data by deleting the app. The iOS “Offload App” option may retain documents and data and is different from deleting it.
Device or iCloud backups may preserve app data according to your Apple settings. Apple provides and manages those backups. We cannot access or delete them for you.
If you use the copy function, the selected text is placed on the system clipboard. Subsequent pasting or synchronization between devices depends on your actions and system settings.
4. No payment information is requested
First Sign currently has no in-app purchases, subscriptions, paid features, or payment interface. We do not request, receive, or store card details, billing addresses, or transaction records through the app.
5. If you choose to email us
When you contact developer@vbosching.com, we receive your email address, message, and any attachments you choose to include. This is correspondence you initiate, not background collection by the app.
We use this information only to answer questions, provide assistance, and handle necessary follow-up. We do not use support correspondence for advertising, profiling, or marketing lists.
Our email service provider processes messages to deliver the email service. Access is limited to people handling support. We retain correspondence only as long as needed for these purposes and delete it when no longer needed, unless retention is required by law.
You may use the same email address to request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information in your support correspondence. We may reasonably verify a request and will respond in accordance with applicable law. If some records must be retained by law, we will explain why.
6. External pages and Apple services
Opening a privacy, terms, or contact page takes you to a hosted website. The website and its service providers may process IP addresses, browser information, or necessary access logs to deliver pages and maintain security.
The app’s no-collection statement does not mean that external websites, email services, or Apple services process no information. Their practices depend on their respective services, privacy policies, and your settings.
7. Sharing and security
We do not sell or rent personal information or use it for advertising that tracks people across apps or websites.
Because the app does not send user data to us, we have no app usage profiles to share. Support correspondence is processed or disclosed only as necessary to provide email services, with your authorization, or to comply with valid legal requirements.
We take reasonable steps to protect support correspondence and restrict unnecessary access. No electronic communication can be guaranteed completely secure. Please avoid sending sensitive information unrelated to your request.
8. Children and families
The app does not request account information from users of any age or collect children’s personal information through the app. Parents and guardians can consider the actual story content and store age rating when deciding whether it is suitable for a child.
If a child includes unnecessary personal information in a support email, a parent or guardian can contact us to request deletion. We do not use this information for marketing or profiling.
9. Your choices and policy updates
You may stop using the app, delete local data, and choose whether to contact support or visit external websites. For support correspondence we actually hold, you may exercise privacy rights available under applicable law, including contacting your local data protection authority.
If a future version changes our information practices, we will update this policy and its effective date, provide appropriate notice, and obtain advance consent where required by law.
