Privacy Policy for Stonegate: Deckbound

Effective date: September 14, 2026

This policy describes the Stonegate: Deckbound iPhone game provided by NovoBuild LLC. It is separate from the privacy policy for our website.

Game progress and settings

The game stores your expedition, Daily Descent, deck, progress, achievements awaiting delivery, and preferences locally. The main expedition can also synchronize through Apple’s private iCloud key-value storage when iCloud is available. Daily saves, medals, mastery, streaks, and portrait preferences stay on the current device.

NovoBuild does not operate a game-save server or receive your private iCloud save. Deleting the app removes its local files; an iCloud copy may remain. You can manage iCloud through your Apple account and device settings. Beginning a new expedition replaces the current expedition in the game.

Game Center

If you use Game Center, Apple handles authentication and achievement reporting. Deckbound submits progress for its Game Center achievements to Apple. Apple controls how your Game Center profile and achievements are displayed according to your account settings. NovoBuild does not use that information for advertising or sell it.

Purchases

Full Descent is a one-time in-app purchase processed by Apple. The game uses Apple-verified transaction information to grant, restore, or revoke access, and stores ownership information locally so an owned unlock can remain available offline. NovoBuild does not receive your payment-card details. Purchase history and refunds are managed through Apple.

Diagnostics

The game records local technical and gameplay events, such as the current room, turn, and run timing, to help investigate problems. These files are not automatically sent to NovoBuild. Unity advertising, behavioral analytics, and cloud diagnostic reporting are disabled in this app.

Apple may provide App Store or TestFlight diagnostics and feedback according to your Apple settings and any feedback you choose to send. We use diagnostic information received this way to investigate problems, not to track you across apps.

Support and external links

Support & About can open your email app, our website, or an App Store page. No message is sent automatically. If you contact us, we receive your email address and the information you choose to include, and use it to respond to your request. Do not send passwords or payment-card details. Website visits are covered by our website privacy policy.

Data collection and sharing

Deckbound does not request contacts, precise location, photos, camera, or microphone access. It contains no advertising SDK or third-party behavioral analytics service. We do not sell personal information or share game progress with advertisers. The game does not solicit personal information from children.

Apple services are subject to Apple’s privacy policy and your Apple account settings.

Contact and changes

For privacy questions or requests concerning information you sent to support, email support@novobuild.net. If the game’s data practices change, we will update this page and its effective date.
