Privacy policy
Last updated: 2026-11-11
Milestitch is a road-trip game. It is built so that the game itself needs nothing from you: no account, no location, no camera, no contacts. This page lists everything that does leave your iPhone and why. Questions: support@milestitch.info.
What stays on your iPhone
Your trips, the gates you opened, the plates you entered and the thread maps are stored only on your device, in the app's own storage. For a plate, Milestitch stores the country sign and the region code (for example "TR 34") — never a full registration number and never an image. This game data is not sent anywhere, so there is nothing to share, report or moderate.
What leaves your iPhone
| Data | When and why | Who receives it | Kept for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Push subscription id, or the vendor identifier (identifierForVendor) when push is not ready; app bundle id and version | Once per cold launch, to check whether this version needs an update notice | Our server at https://api.milestitch.info, hosted on Cloudflare | Not stored beyond processing the request |
| Push token and OneSignal device id (linked to the vendor identifier); the tags "firstInstall" and which screen opened | To deliver notifications, only if you allow them | OneSignal, Inc. (USA) | Until you delete the app or ask us to remove it |
| The title of a region's Wikipedia article | When you open a region note in the Garage while online; the answer is saved on your device | Wikimedia Foundation (Wikipedia public API) | Under Wikimedia's own policy; nothing about you is attached |
| Help desk messages: your text, optional reply email, optional attachments (photos are re-encoded without location), optional device details (app version, iOS version, device model, language) | Only when you press Send in Settings → Help & feedback | Our server forwards it by email to support@milestitch.info (Cloudflare Email Routing); the server stores nothing. If the server is unreachable, your own Mail app sends it. | In the support inbox for up to 12 months, or until you ask us to delete it |
What Milestitch does not collect
No location (precise or approximate), no contacts, no photos except ones you attach to a support message yourself, no microphone, no advertising identifier (IDFA), no analytics, no crash reporting, no attribution, no data brokers, no tracking across apps or websites. There is no sign-in and no account.
Device identifiers
The launch check sends the push subscription id, or the vendor identifier when push is not set up. These identifiers are specific to this app on your device. They are not linked to your name, email or any other real-world identity, and they are not used for advertising.
Notifications
Milestitch asks for notification permission only when you tap "Allow notifications" on the last welcome page or in Settings. Declining changes nothing in the game. You can turn notifications off at any time in iPhone Settings → Notifications → Milestitch.
Update notices and embedded web content
If a version of the app is ever withdrawn, the launch check can show an information page from our server inside the app. That embedded page may set cookies or local storage on your device, like any website; it is used only to show that notice.
Children
Milestitch is rated 4+ and is safe for all ages, but it is designed for adult passengers and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children.
Keeping and deleting your data
To delete your game data, use Settings → Clear all trips, or delete the app. To have a help desk message or push records removed, write to support@milestitch.info; we do it within 30 days.
International transfers
Our server runs on Cloudflare's global network; OneSignal and the Wikimedia Foundation operate in the United States. Where data is transferred outside the EU/EEA, it is protected by the providers' standard contractual clauses.
Your rights
You can ask to access, correct or delete personal data we hold about you, or object to its processing, by writing to support@milestitch.info. You may also complain to your local data protection authority.
Terms of use
Milestitch is provided free of charge, as is, for personal entertainment. Play only as a passenger: never use the app while driving. Region data is compiled from public sources and may contain mistakes; the game does not rely on it for anything beyond play.
Changes to this policy
If what the app collects changes, this page is updated first and the date above changes with it.
