Privacy
Last updated 28 September 2026. Applies to every game and app published by BANSE and to banse.ca.
The short version
No accounts, and no analytics of our own. Nothing you record passes through a server of ours, unless you choose to share a course fix in Casual Caddie (see Course maps). Your scores, records and settings are written to your device and stay there; we never see them and cannot read them. The titles marked below show advertising, and that advertising is provided by Google, which does collect data, and which you can decline without changing how anything works. Where a title sells something, Apple takes the payment and we are told only that an Apple Account is entitled — never who you are or how you paid.
Per title
| Title | Stored on device | Advertising | Purchases | Accounts |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Biome Game | Scores, statistics and settings, on your device only. | Rewarded video from Google AdMob, shown only when you choose to watch one to continue a run. Google collects data to serve it; in the EEA, UK and Switzerland you are asked for consent first, and iOS asks separately before any tracking. | None. Nothing to buy inside the game. | None. Game Center is optional. |
| Fallend Game | Scores, statistics and settings, on your device only. | Rewarded video from Google AdMob, shown only when you choose to watch one for an extra life. Google collects data to serve it; in the EEA, UK and Switzerland you are asked for consent first, and iOS asks separately before any tracking. | None. Nothing to buy inside the game. | None. Game Center is optional. |
| Fifteen Two Cribbage Game | Statistics and settings, on your device only. In a Nearby game, names and the game pass directly between the phones at the table. | Google AdMob: rewarded video, player-initiated only. | None. Nothing to buy inside the game. | None. Game Center is optional. |
| Fathom Fishing Game | Records, the field guide, coins and settings, on your device only. | Rewarded video from Google AdMob, shown only when you choose one, either for more time on a run that has just ended or for coins. Google collects data to serve it; in the EEA, UK and Switzerland you are asked for consent first, and iOS asks separately before any tracking. | None. Nothing to buy inside the game. | None. Game Center is optional. |
| Route Rivals Game | Trips, photos, names and scores, on the phones playing. There is no server and no account. Task reminders, if you turn them on, are scheduled by your own phone and never leave it. | Rewarded video from Google AdMob, shown only when you choose to watch one to unlock a content pack. Google collects data to serve it; in the EEA, UK and Switzerland you are asked for consent first, and iOS asks separately before any tracking. | None. Nothing to buy inside the game. | None. |
| Cornhole Rivals Game | Your records, your name and your settings, on your device only. | None. | None. Nothing to buy inside the game. | None. Nearby play asks for local network access, and only when you choose a nearby game. |
| Blindside Game | Your settings and the name you play under, on your device only. | None. | A tip jar, in Settings, which is the only thing in the game that costs anything. Blindside is free and fully functional; leaving a tip is completely optional and is a way of saying thanks, and for encouraging the development of future applications. Apple handles the payment, so we never see a card. | None. Nearby play asks for local network and Bluetooth access, and the camera is used only to scan a join code. |
| HockeySense App | Your stats, on your device and in your own private iCloud. | Google AdMob: a rewarded video you choose, and an occasional interstitial after a game is saved. | HockeySense Pro, as a subscription or a one-time purchase. Handled entirely by Apple: we are told that this Apple Account is entitled, and never see your name, card or address. | None. Sync uses your own iCloud account. |
| Trivvy App | Your trips, expenses and receipt photographs, on your phone. Receipts are read on the device; no image and no expense is uploaded anywhere. If you turn iCloud sync on they go to your own iCloud account and nowhere else. | Google AdMob: one advert after an export or a transfer on the free version. Pro removes it. | Trivvy Pro, a one-time purchase handled by Apple. We never see a payment detail. | None. There is no sign-in and no server to sign in to. |
| Two Feet and a Heartbeat App | Your walks, on your phone. Written to Apple Health only if you switch that on, and never read back. Steps come from Motion and Fitness. Neither is sent anywhere, and neither is used for advertising. | Google AdMob: one rewarded video you choose to watch, worth one day pass, at most twice a day. | None. There is nothing to buy. | None. There is no sign-in and no server. |
| All the Little Things App | Your things live on the device. If you are signed in to iCloud they are mirrored into your own private iCloud database, which is your storage and not ours: there is no account with us and no way for us to read it. Everything you wrote or recorded goes into that database’s encrypted fields, which only your own devices hold the key to. | None. There is no ad SDK in the app. | A tip jar, in Settings, which is the only thing in the app that costs anything. All the Little Things is free and fully functional; leaving a tip is completely optional and is a way of saying thanks, and for encouraging the development of future applications. Apple handles the payment, so we never see a card. | None. There is no sign-in and no server of ours. |
| Casual Caddie App | Your rounds, scores and downloaded courses are stored on the device, and the round in progress is shared with your own Apple Watch. Nothing about your rounds is sent anywhere. Finding and downloading a course asks public map services for that course's data, through a course server of ours that keeps map data, not who asked; the Near me search sends your position rounded to about a kilometre. If you turn on Share course fixes, a tee, green, par or scorecard you correct is sent to it, with nothing that identifies you. | None. There is no ad SDK in the app. | A tip jar, in Settings, which is the only thing in the app that costs anything. Casual Caddie is free and fully functional; leaving a tip is completely optional and is a way of saying thanks, and for encouraging the development of future applications. Apple handles the payment, so we never see a card. | None. There is no sign-in. |
What we store
High scores, statistics, progress and settings are written to a file inside the title's own storage on your iPhone. That file never leaves your device and we cannot read it. Deleting the app deletes it. Where the table above says a title syncs, the copy travels through your own iCloud account between your own devices; it does not pass through anything of ours and we cannot read it there either.
Course maps
Casual Caddie downloads golf course maps, scorecards and aerial photos from public open-data services: OpenStreetMap, OpenGolfAPI, the USGS, Geospatial Ontario and Meta and the World Resources Institute's canopy map. Those requests go through a course server we run on Cloudflare, which keeps courses already built from that data, so a course somebody has already downloaded comes back quickly and the free services are asked once rather than by every golfer. What reaches the cache is the request: the course, or the area it covers. When you tap Near me, that is your position rounded to about a kilometre. The cache keeps the map data it fetched, not who asked for it, and it never receives your rounds, your scores or your exact position on the course. Distances are worked out on your phone and watch, from their own GPS.
Sharing course fixes is optional, and off until you say yes. The first time you correct a tee, a green, a par or a scorecard, the app asks whether to share the fix so that every golfer gets it, and you can change your answer at any time in Settings → Course maps. A shared fix contains only the fix itself: the course, the hole, where its tee or green is (or the pars and yardages on the card), and the day it was made. It carries no name, account, device identifier or location history, and it isn't linked to you. We keep shared fixes on the course server and merge them into the course maps; a hole already on the map moves only when two golfers agree. Shared fixes become part of the open course data, under the same Open Database Licence as OpenStreetMap. Points you place on Apple's satellite map are never shared.
Searching for a town or a course by name uses Apple's place search, under Apple's privacy policy.
Advertising
Titles marked above as showing advertising use Google AdMob. There are no banners in anything we make, and nothing is ever shown while you are in the middle of something — no ad has ever interrupted a run or a game being tracked, and none ever will.
Our games show rewarded video only. An ad plays when you choose to watch one in exchange for something — an extra life, another attempt — and declining changes nothing about how the game plays.
Our apps may also show a full-screen ad between tasks. In HockeySense that is one advert after a completed game has been saved, which is the moment you have finished rather than been interrupted, and it is capped: not for your first few games, then at most one every third game, and never twice within half an hour. The rewarded video is still yours to choose — it opens your older games for 24 hours, and if no advert can be served it opens them anyway rather than holding your own records back.
To serve them, Google may collect and process device and advertising identifiers, approximate location, and information about how you interact with ads. Google's use of that data is governed by its own policies: Google Privacy Policy and how Google uses data in AdMob.
Before any ad is requested, the title asks for your consent choices. In the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland you'll see a consent form, and on iOS you'll be asked whether the app may track you across other companies' apps and websites. If you decline, everything works exactly the same. You'll simply see less relevant advertising, or none. You can change that permission at any time in Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking.
Purchases
Where a title sells something — today that is HockeySense Pro, as a subscription or as a one-time purchase — the transaction is handled entirely by Apple. We never see and never receive your name, your card details, your billing address or your Apple Account. What the app is told is one fact: whether the Apple Account signed in on that device is entitled to the paid features.
That answer is read from Apple every time the app launches rather than written down, which is why a refund, a lapsed subscription or a change to your family sharing takes effect by itself. Purchases are restored on a new device with Restore purchase on the upgrade screen, because the entitlement belongs to your Apple Account and not to the handset.
Subscriptions are managed and cancelled where every other one is, in Settings → your name → Subscriptions on your iPhone. Nothing you have recorded is deleted or withheld if you stop paying: the free version keeps working and your data stays on your device and in your backups. Payment is subject to Apple's standard licence terms and to the App Store's own privacy policy.
Game Center
If you're signed in to Apple's Game Center, a game may submit scores to leaderboards. This is optional and declining costs you nothing but the ranking. Game Center is operated by Apple under Apple's privacy policy.
Children
Our games and apps are not directed at children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information through advertising in one of our apps, write to us and we'll act on it.
Your rights
Because we hold no personal data about you, there is nothing for us to export or delete on request. Course fixes shared from Casual Caddie aren't linked to anyone, so there is no way for us to tell which are yours; turning sharing off stops any more being sent. For data held by Google in connection with advertising, use the Google links above. Deleting a title removes everything it stored on your device.
