Meadowturn for iPhone
Privacy policy
Last updated: 2026-11-11 · Effective from version 1.0.0
Meadowturn is a puzzle you play on your own iPhone. It has no account and no advertising, and almost everything it knows about you stays on the device. This page lists every exception.
Who is responsible
Meadowturn is published by Yasin Altaf. Questions about this policy or your data: support@meadowturn.info.
The short version
- Your games, ears and album are stored only on your iPhone.
- We do not collect your name, your location, your contacts or anything about how you play.
- No analytics, no crash reporting service, no advertising identifier, no tracking across apps or websites.
- Four things do leave the device, each described below: town searches and forecasts for City Season, a launch update check, push delivery (only when notifications are switched on), and messages you choose to send to support.
Everything, in one table
| Data | Collected? | Why | Kept for | Shared with | Your control |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Game progress, album, settings, chosen town | Stored on your iPhone only | So you can continue where you left off | Until you erase it or delete the app | Nobody | Workshop → "Erase everything" |
| Town name you type, coordinates of the town you pick | Sent to Open-Meteo, not to us | To find the town and fetch its two-week forecast | Not stored by us; see Open-Meteo's terms | Open-Meteo | Don't use City Season — the campaign never needs it |
| Vendor identifier, or push subscription id when notifications are on | Yes, not linked to you | Launch update check: tells the app whether a newer version is required | Only for the duration of the request | Our server (hosted by Cloudflare) | Deleting the app resets the vendor identifier |
| App version and bundle identifier | Yes | Same update check | Only for the duration of the request | Our server | — |
| Push subscription id | Only after you allow notifications | Delivering notifications | Until you turn notifications off or delete the app | OneSignal | iPhone Settings → Notifications → Meadowturn |
| Help desk message, optional reply e-mail, optional attachments, optional device details | Only when you tap Send | Answering your question | As long as needed to answer, then deleted; sooner on request | Our server forwards it by e-mail to our inbox | Leave fields empty; ask us to delete it |
| E-mails you write to us | Yes | Answering you | As above | Our e-mail provider | Ask us to delete them |
| Analytics, crash reports, advertising identifier, attribution | No | — | — | — | — |
| Location, contacts, photos library contents, health, payment details | No | — | — | — | — |
Device identifiers
When the app starts, it asks our server once whether this version is still current. With the question it sends the app version, the bundle identifier and one identifier: the push subscription id if notifications are on, otherwise Apple's identifier for vendor — a random value that is the same for all apps by one publisher on one device and changes when they are all deleted. It is not linked to your name, e-mail or Apple Account. If the server can't be reached, the app simply opens.
Notifications
Meadowturn only asks for permission after you finish your first meadow, and only if notifications are set up for this release. If you allow them, OneSignal stores a push subscription id for your device so it can deliver messages. Turn them off any time in iPhone Settings → Notifications → Meadowturn; nothing in the game changes.
City Season and Open-Meteo
City Season fetches forecasts from Open-Meteo. The app never asks for your location: you type a town name, and the app sends that text for the search and then the coordinates of the town you pick for its forecast. No identifier travels with these requests. Weather data by Open-Meteo.com, licensed CC BY 4.0.
Help desk
The help desk in the Workshop answers common questions on the device. If you write to us from it, the message, the category, and only what you add — a reply e-mail, up to five attachments, device details when the toggle is on — go to our server, which forwards them by e-mail to support@meadowturn.info. Pictures are re-encoded before sending, which removes location data. You see the device details before you send them. If sending fails, the Mail app is offered instead. To stop abuse, the server limits how many messages one network (IP) address can send per minute; that count is kept only in memory at the edge for the minute and is never stored or linked to the message.
Web content
In rare cases, for example when a version must be replaced, the app can show a page from our server inside the app. Like any browser, that page may use cookies or local storage; we do not use them for advertising or tracking.
Children
Meadowturn is rated 4+ but is made for adults who enjoy puzzles; it is not in the Kids category and we do not knowingly collect anything from children.
Your rights and deletion
Everything stored on your iPhone is deleted with Workshop → "Erase everything" or by deleting the app. For anything that reached us — support messages and e-mails — you can ask for access, correction or deletion by writing to support@meadowturn.info; we answer within two business days. You may also object to processing or complain to your local data protection authority.
International transfers
Our server runs on Cloudflare's global network; OneSignal operates mainly in the United States; Open-Meteo is operated from the European Union. Data may therefore be processed outside your country, under those providers' safeguards.
Changes to this policy
If the app starts handling data differently, this page changes first and the date at the top moves. Earlier versions are available on request.
