Effective October 9, 2026
This policy describes Solitaire Nights and the separate Solitaire Nights: Mac Edition, developed by George Griffin / George Matthew. Mac Edition is currently in development; its section also covers development and testing builds. Features vary by edition and version. Nothing on this page announces the release of an unreleased edition or update.
Local play and advertising
The games do not require a developer-operated account. The reviewed builds do not include advertising networks, third-party analytics or tracking SDKs, or in-app purchases. Core local play does not require platform leaderboards. We do not operate a server that receives your saved hands or local score history.
Information stored on your device
Depending on edition and version, the game stores a saved hand, preferences such as music and rules, and local leaderboard entries. Entries may include a name you choose, score, time, moves and other game statistics. Mac Edition also stores an account-bound queue for Game Center submissions, including player/run identifiers, timestamps and pending or previously uploaded scores. That queue allows eligible scores to retry for the same signed-in account.
Mac Edition: optional Apple Game Center
You can play locally without Game Center. In Game Center-enabled builds, eligible best scores for Standard Draw 1 and Draw 3 runs begun while signed in are submitted to Apple using your authenticated Game Center identity. The submission includes your score and the relevant leaderboard identifier. Custom-rule games remain local.
The game receives Game Center player identifiers, display names, leaderboard identifiers, ranks and scores to show your profile and global or friends leaderboards. Apple processes this information under its own policies. Your profile and scores may be visible to other players according to Apple’s service and privacy settings. See Apple’s Game Center privacy information.
Game Center score synchronization is separate from saved-hand storage. The reviewed Mac Edition does not provide cloud synchronization of saved hands. It does not request access to your camera, microphone, location, contacts or photo library.
Steam edition and Steam services
Steam handles store accounts, purchases, downloads and platform services separately from the game. In versions that support Steam leaderboards, leaderboard participation can submit a score and run statistics such as elapsed time, moves, recycles, undo count, draw mode and auto-finish count, associated with your Steam identity. Those versions can retrieve Steam player identifiers, display names and global or friends scores. Not all released versions support these features. See the Steam Privacy Policy for Valve’s handling of platform information.
Your choices and deletion
You may play locally without joining platform leaderboards. Manage Game Center sign-in and activity-sharing choices through Apple’s settings, and Steam profile/privacy choices through Steam. Mac Edition’s Reset local data option clears the saved hand and local leaderboard records, but does not clear all settings, its Game Center submission queue or records already held by Apple. Removing an application does not necessarily remove every local file or platform record.
For help removing local application data or support correspondence held by the developer, contact the address below. Deleting local data may be irreversible. Requests concerning Apple or Valve account and leaderboard records are handled through the relevant platform; we cannot promise to erase records controlled by those services.
If you contact support
When you email us, we receive your address and the information you choose to include, such as device details, screenshots or diagnostic files. We use it to respond to your request and investigate problems, not to add you to a marketing list. Please omit passwords, payment details and unnecessary personal information. Contact us to request deletion of support correspondence; any necessary retention will depend on the request and applicable obligations.
Storefronts, testing and website links
Apple and Valve may separately process purchases, diagnostics, usage information or testing feedback under their policies and your settings. The developer does not receive your full payment-card details. Opening a support, privacy or store link takes you outside the local game; the destination website has its own data practices. The games do not ask children to create a developer account or provide personal information.
Changes and contact
We will update this page if the game’s data practices change. For privacy questions or deletion requests, email george@george-matthew.com.
