Anonymous Device Token
The Ladder generates a random, anonymous device token stored locally in your device's Keychain. This token is used solely to validate puzzle submissions and cannot be used to identify you. It never leaves your device except as an opaque identifier when submitting a puzzle result.
Network Requests
The app makes network requests to fetch puzzle data and topic information. These requests do not include any personal data. The anonymous device token described above may be included to validate submissions.
In-App Purchases
Purchases are handled entirely by Apple through the App Store. We do not receive or store any payment information.
Data Storage
All game data (your history, scores, and settings) is stored locally on your device. We do not operate user accounts or cloud sync services.
Children's Privacy
The Ladder does not knowingly collect any personal information from anyone, including children under the age of 13.
