Kolba — a ball sort puzzle · Türkçe
Kolba collects no data. Nothing leaves your device unless you turn on Game Center.
That is not a statement of intent; it is how the app is built. Kolba has no server and no code of its own that sends anything anywhere.

What stays on your device
Three things are stored on your phone so the game can work, and only there:
- Today’s puzzle and the moves you have made on it
- Where you are in the tutorial, and the days you have finished
- Your settings — sound, haptics, contrast, colour assist, balls and background
- Friend races you have played or given up, and a race link waiting to be opened
None of it is sent anywhere. Reset progress in Settings deletes all of it; so does deleting the app.
Game Center (optional)
Game Center is off until you turn it on from the menu. Before that, the game does not start Game Center at all. When it is on, your weekly and all-time scores and your achievements go to Apple’s Game Center, where your friends can see them. That data goes to Apple, not to us: we have no server and store none of it. Reset progress clears your device; scores already on Game Center stay there.
Sharing
When you finish a puzzle you can share your result. That happens only when you tap Share, you choose where it goes in iOS’s own share sheet, and we never see the text. The card does not give the solution away: the day’s number, your move count, par, and whether you used a hint — nothing more.
iCloud sync
If iCloud sync is on (it is unless you turn it off in Settings), your lessons and the days you have finished are kept in your own iCloud, so your other devices see them. They go to Apple’s iCloud under your account, never to us. Friend races, today’s unfinished moves and your look settings stay on each device. Reset progress resets your other devices too, the next time they open.
Friend races
A race link is shared only when you tap Send, through iOS’s own share sheet. Everything
the race needs travels inside the link: the puzzle (the board itself, or which
built-in puzzle it is) and your moves and time. That part of the link comes after the #,
so it never reaches our server; the page at kolba.salt-tech-apps.com is a
plain page that does not read it. No names travel, and races are never sent to Game
Center. Reset progress deletes your race history on this device.
Children
The app asks nobody for an age, a name or anything else. Since no data is collected, none is collected from children.
If this page changes
If the app ever starts collecting data, this page and the App Store privacy label will change at the same time. Unless that happens, this page stays as it is.
