GhostCart is a fictional shopping game. We built it so that nothing about you ever leaves your device.
GhostCart is made by an independent developer ("we", "us"). It's a free hobby project with no ads, no in-app purchases and no commercial partners. You can reach us at adammessi2999@gmail.com.
None. The app has no account system and does not send any information about you, your device or your use of the app to us or to any third party. We do not use analytics SDKs, advertising SDKs, crash-reporting services, fingerprinting or any other tracking technology. We do not use Apple's advertising identifier (IDFA).
To make the game work, the app keeps the following only on your iPhone, using Apple's on-device storage:
| What | Why |
|---|---|
| Fictional products in your feed, your cart, orders, collection, achievements | So the game remembers your progress |
| Ghost Coins, XP, level, login streak, daily-reward dates | Game progression |
| Settings (for example, sound effects on or off) | Your preferences |
We cannot access this data. It is removed when you delete the app. If you use iCloud Backup or Finder/iTunes backups, it may be included in your device backups, under Apple's terms and your own settings.
On iPhones that support Apple Intelligence, GhostCart uses Apple's Foundation Models framework to write fictional product names, descriptions and reviews. The model runs entirely on your device. Prompts contain only game content, never personal information, and nothing is sent to us. On other devices, the app uses built-in, pre-written content instead.
If you allow notifications, delivery and daily-reward reminders are scheduled locally on your iPhone. We do not use push notification servers and do not receive a push token. The Lock Screen delivery tracker (a Live Activity) is also created and updated on your device. You can turn either off at any time in iOS Settings.
If you tap Share card, the app creates an image and opens Apple's share sheet. Where it goes next is entirely your choice and is handled by the app or service you pick. We receive nothing.
Apple may give app developers aggregated, anonymised statistics (for example, download counts) and crash reports only if you have chosen to share them in iOS Settings → Privacy & Security → Analytics & Improvements. This is governed by Apple's Privacy Policy, and these reports do not identify you to us.
If you email us, we receive your email address and whatever you choose to write. We use it only to reply, we don't add you to any list, and we delete the correspondence once your request is resolved, unless we're legally required to keep it.
GhostCart is a general-audience game and is not directed at children under 13. Because the app collects no personal data from anyone, it does not knowingly collect personal data from children.
Depending on where you live (for example, under the UAE Personal Data Protection Law, the EU/UK GDPR or US state privacy laws), you may have rights to access, correct or delete personal data and to object to its processing. Because we hold no personal data from the app, there is normally nothing to access or delete. The only exception is any email you send us, which you can ask us to delete at any time by writing to adammessi2999@gmail.com.
This site uses no cookies, scripts, web fonts, analytics or embedded third-party content. Our hosting provider may keep standard server logs (such as IP address and time of request) for security purposes, under its own policy.
If we ever change how GhostCart handles data, for example by adding an optional feature that needs it, we will update this page and the "Effective" date, and describe the change in the App Store release notes before it takes effect.
