Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 9, 2026

Dish Stack is a puzzle game made by Gelis Dahlman, an independent developer in Sweden (“we”, “us”). This policy explains what happens to your data when you play Dish Stack on an iPhone, iPad or Android device, or on this website.

The short version

  • Dish Stack does not collect, store or share any personal data.
  • There is no account, no sign-in, no ads, no analytics and no tracking.
  • Your progress is saved only on your own device.
  • The game works fully offline.
  • This website counts visits with Vercel’s cookie-free, combined statistics (see “This website” below).

What the game saves on your device

To remember your progress, the game saves on your device: the levels you have cleared and your stars; your coins, hints and skins; your settings (music, sound and vibration); your daily streak and gift calendar; which tips you have seen; simple counts such as levels won and hints used; and a short list of recent game events, such as “level started” or “level cleared”, which only helps when testing the game.

This information never leaves your device. It is not sent to us or to anyone else, and it contains nothing that identifies you. You can wipe it any time with “Reset progress” in the game’s settings, and it is deleted when you uninstall the game. On the web, it is deleted when you clear this site’s data in your browser.

If you have device backups turned on (iCloud on iPhone and iPad, Google backup on Android), your device may include the game’s saved progress in the backup. Apple and Google handle those backups under their own privacy policies, and we have no access to them.

What the game does not do

  • It does not ask for access to your contacts, photos, camera, microphone or location.
  • It does not use advertising identifiers (the IDFA on Apple devices or the Android advertising ID).
  • It contains no advertising, analytics or crash-reporting software from other companies.
  • It does not connect to any server of ours.

The app stores

You download Dish Stack from the App Store or Google Play. Apple and Google handle your download under their own privacy policies (Apple, Google). If you have chosen to share analytics or crash data with app developers in your device settings, Apple or Google may give us combined statistics, such as the number of downloads, or a crash report showing the device model and system version. These do not tell us who you are.

Rating and sharing the game

Now and then, after a level you cleared with three stars, the game may ask Apple or Google to show their own rating window, and the game’s settings have a button that opens Dish Stack’s page in the App Store or Google Play. Your rating and review go straight to Apple or Google under their privacy policies; we only see what the store shows us, such as published reviews and combined ratings.

The “Share” button in the game’s settings opens your phone’s own share window with a link to the game. You choose who gets it; the game doesn’t see who you share it with.

If you contact us

The “Feedback” button in the game’s settings opens a new email to us in your own email app, with the game’s version and your phone’s system (iOS or Android) filled in. Nothing is sent unless you send it.

If you email us, we use your email address and your message only to answer you, and we don’t keep them longer than needed for that.

Children

Dish Stack collects no personal data from anyone, including children.

Your rights

Under the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) you have the right to access, correct and delete personal data about you, and to object to how it is used. Because the game collects no personal data, we hold none about you from the game. To delete your game data, use “Reset progress” or uninstall the game. If you have emailed us, you can ask us to delete those emails.

You can also complain to the Swedish Authority for Privacy Protection (Integritetsskyddsmyndigheten, IMY) at imy.se.

This website

This website is hosted by Vercel. Like any web host, Vercel handles your IP address in its standard server logs to deliver the pages and keep the site secure.

To see how many people visit and how fast the pages load, the website uses two tools from Vercel: Vercel Web Analytics and Vercel Speed Insights. They use no cookies and store nothing in your browser, they do not follow you to other websites, and we only see combined statistics (for example, how many people viewed a page), never who you are.

  • Web Analytics counts page views. With each page view it records the page address, the website you came from, your approximate location (country, region and city, worked out from the request) and your browser, operating system and type of device. To tell visits apart without cookies, Vercel uses a hash created from the incoming request, and that hash is discarded after 24 hours.
  • Speed Insights measures how fast the pages load. With each measurement it records the page address, the loading times, the network speed (such as 4G), your browser, operating system, type of device and country.

We use these statistics only to improve the website, never for advertising, and we don’t build profiles of visitors. Our legal basis is our legitimate interest in running and improving the website (GDPR article 6(1)(f)). Vercel processes the data for us; read more in Vercel’s privacy notice. The website’s fonts and pictures are stored on the site itself, and apart from Vercel it uses no other company’s services.

Changes to this policy

If Dish Stack changes what it does with data, for example if a future version adds ads, we will update this policy before that version is released and change the date at the top.
