Bridgefolk privacy policy

Effective date: 18 October 2026

Bridgefolk is a contract bridge game for iPhone made by LATTICE LABS PTE. LTD. ("we", "us"). This policy explains what the app does with information.

The short version

Bridgefolk does not automatically send your profile, settings or game history to LATTICE LABS PTE. LTD. The app has no sign-in, no server, no analytics and no tracking. Your settings, deals and history are stored on your iPhone. Play Nearby shares information directly with nearby devices, and you can choose to export your history or send us a support request. Apple also handles backups and TestFlight diagnostics as described below.

What the app stores on your iPhone

Bridgefolk saves these in the app's own storage on your device:

• The name and avatar you pick in Settings.
• Your table, play and scoring preferences.
• The deal in progress, so you can continue it later.
• Your finished deals, up to the most recent 2,000. Each one includes the cards, the auction, the play, the score, the date and the names of the players at the table. For nearby games that includes the names other players chose for themselves.
• Statistics the app works out from your history, such as points and your day streak.

We cannot access the data stored on your iPhone unless you choose to share it with us. Like other app data, iOS may include it in your iCloud or computer backups, depending on your device settings. Apple handles those backups under its own privacy policy.

Play Nearby

Play Nearby uses Apple's MultipeerConnectivity framework, which connects nearby devices over Bluetooth and Wi-Fi without the internet. iOS asks for your permission to use the local network before the app can find other players.

When you host a table, your iPhone advertises the table to nearby devices running Bridgefolk. That advertisement includes your table name, your display name and your avatar. Anyone nearby who opens Play Nearby can see it while your host screen is open.

When you join a table, your iPhone sends your display name to the host. During the game, the phones at the table exchange player names, avatars, seat assignments, the cards for each deal and every bid and card played. Each phone needs this to show the game, and the other players' phones may save the deal in their own history.

These connections go directly between the phones. They do not pass through our servers. The app does not currently encrypt these connections, so pick a display name you are comfortable showing to people nearby, and only host or join tables with people you know.

Sharing your history

You can share a single deal or your whole history as a PBN file using the iOS share sheet. The file includes the player names, the cards, the auction, the play and the result. It goes only where you choose to send it, and the service you send it to handles it under its own policy.

Deleting your information

• To delete one deal, swipe it or press and hold it in History, then tap Delete.
• To delete everything, open Settings, tap Erase all data and confirm. This removes your settings, the deal in progress and all history from the app.
• Deleting the app also deletes everything it stored.

Copies already on other players' phones, or in files you shared, are outside the app's control.

Apple services

Apple runs the App Store and TestFlight. For App Store builds, Apple may share diagnostics with us according to your device settings. For TestFlight builds, Apple shares crash logs and testing information with the developer. If you test a beta build and send feedback through TestFlight, Apple passes your feedback, any screenshots you attach and basic device information to us. We use those reports only to fix problems in Bridgefolk. Apple's privacy policy covers how Apple handles that data.

Support requests

If you email team@latticelabs.app, we receive your email address, your message and any attachments you choose to send. We use that information to respond and investigate the issue. Avoid sending passwords or other information that is not needed to explain the problem. You can contact the same address to ask us to delete your support correspondence.

Children

The app does not ask for a date of birth or include advertising or tracking. Its local storage and nearby-sharing behaviour is the same for all players.

Changes

If the app starts handling information differently, we will update this policy and the effective date before that version is released.
