Privacy policy for the Clean apps

Effective September 10, 2026. Applies to every “Clean” iOS app by Steve Petersen: CleanSort, CleanVote, CleanAllowance, CleanMatch, CleanKnots, CleanCards, and any that follow.

The Clean apps collect no data. None, from anyone, ever.

More specifically, for every app in the family:

• There are no analytics, no advertising, no tracking, and no third-party code of any kind.
• There are no accounts and no sign-in. I could not identify you if I wanted to, and I don’t want to.
• Everything an app remembers is stored only on your device. Deleting the app deletes all of it. I never see any of it.
• The apps collect nothing from anyone, and that includes children.
• None of the apps make internet connections. With one exception, described below, they have no networking capability at all, so nothing you do in them can leave your device.

Per-app notes

CleanCards is the exception on networking, in one specific way: it lets the phones at your table play a card game together. When someone hosts a game, the other phones in the same room connect directly to that phone over Wi‑Fi (that’s why iOS asks for Local Network permission). What travels between them is the game itself — your chosen nickname, your bids and cards — encrypted with the join code shown on the host’s screen, and it goes nowhere else. There is no server and no internet connection. Nobody’s real name or device name is ever broadcast.

CleanAllowance, CleanSort, CleanVote, CleanMatch, and CleanKnots store only what you enter or play — allowances, scores, votes, puzzles — on your device, and nothing else.

If this policy ever changes (I have no plans), the change will be posted at this address with a new effective date.
