Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 11, 2026

BreakTheIce is a conversation companion for in-person dates. This policy is short because the app does very little with information.

What the app stores on your device

The following is written only to your iPhone’s local app storage, inside the app’s private container:

• Your setup for the evening — the occasion, the place, the energy, and the depth setting you chose.
• Optional personalization — gender, age range, and cultural background for you and your date, if you provide them. Every field can be left as “Prefer not to say,” and leaving one blank never causes the app to assume a value.
• Session state — an anonymous six-character session code generated on device, how far through a night you are, which cards you have seen, and the moments you chose to pin.
• Use history — recent card and game identifiers, so the app can avoid repeating the same content.

The recap is shown at the end of a night and is not retained as a history.

What is never stored anywhere

• Secret Match answers. Each person’s private selections exist only in memory while that screen is open. They are never written to disk, never included in saved session data, and are erased when you leave the screen, pass on the round, or close the app.
• Anything you say out loud. The app has no microphone, camera, or keyboard input for your answers. It shows prompts; the conversation is yours.

What we do not do

• We do not transmit anything off your device.
• We do not use analytics, tracking, advertising identifiers, or third-party SDKs.
• We do not build a profile of you, and we do not share, sell, or disclose information to anyone — there is nothing to share.
• We do not track you across apps or websites.

Why the app asks about gender, age, and background

BreakTheIce is used for first meetings arranged through dating apps, where two people genuinely do not know each other. Some conversation prompts exist in different versions depending on who is asking whom, and knowing this lets the app choose the version that reads naturally rather than a generic one.

These fields are entirely optional. If you leave them blank, the app uses prompts that work for anyone. It never guesses, and it never fills in a value you did not choose.

Purchases

The current version is free and does not offer purchases or subscriptions. It does not request payment details or connect to the App Store to load, make, or restore purchases.

Deleting your information

• Settings → Start completely fresh erases your setup and session data from the device. All games and cards remain free to use.
• Deleting the app removes all local app data from your iPhone.

Because nothing ever leaves your device, there is no server-side copy for us to delete and no data export to request.

Children

BreakTheIce is intended for adults and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone, of any age.

Changes

If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted here with a new date. Material changes will also be noted in the app.
